It could be a good move with the right management. The trouble might be, bean counters run everything now. Mister Honda had a personal stake in what was built, and how, back in the day, and he rode a Harley too! I love Sportsters/Dynas/Softails but they still need stock suspension that works VERY well in New England, which they don't have. I like the DUC cruiser more because it's lighter, but that's just skinny me. It could be a great move for Harley and Ducati but greed gets in there and the bikes and people riding get forgotten.
