"We prefer to partner with brands that are class leaders so naturally when we were looking to expand beyond choppers, we saw Ducati as a perfect fit," said Paul Teutul Sr. "Ducati's global reputation in the Superbike world along with the brand's style and design elements really make this an unique opportunity for us."

Sounds like a solid plan.

Typical Ducati buyers and typical chopper buyers are cut from the same cloth.

Yea well they'll have to do something pretty soon. The custom chopper thing is on it's last legs imho. I'm surprised that they didn't just buy Buell from Harley... Now that would have been a perfect fit for them.

I agree on the custom chopper gimmick. But I dont see how innovation and free thinking fits into their mold of tacking on other peoples parts to choppers fits in.

This is new news? I thought that OCC has been selling Ducs for a few years?

Well, they typically use a Harley clone motor... as far as bolting on another manufacturer's parts onto a chassis and calling it their own... May I present the 1125R/CR.... j/k I merely meant that they (OCC) tends to do thinks somewhat differently and so does Buell. You have to remember that Paul Sr has been in this chopper thing WAY before most of the other guys and he and Jr are basically responsible for quite a few of the "innovations" that are now standard chopper fare.

Maybe if his son caves, Paul the Sr. will be the next go to Ducati guy....

Harley refused to sell Buell.
