Hmmm, this could be an interesting development for both companies. It might help solve the financial woes that Italian motorcycle companies have always faced and would also bring some fresh thinking to both groups as well.

I think Aprilia owns Moto Guzzi, so yes, but I'm not exactly sure since Ducati put out a release a few months ago stating they had interest in Moto Guzzi alone.



Can you imagine, a modern Moto Guzzi!

On a related note, I also see that Proton and the MV Agusta group are pairing up. I would love to see MV return to GP racing.

I wasn't thinking about liquid-cooling or DOHC or any of those things. I was thinking more along the lines of non-shaft drives, transmissions with more than five speeds, and larger and/or more powerful engines. They would still need to keep them air-cooled, though.
