  Maybe we might see a version of the Ducati xDiavel with Harley badging to replace the V-Rod.

  What is interesting is that Indian killed off its Victory range of bikes to concentrate its efforts against HD. I wonder if HD are feeling the heat and looking for a second income stream with Ducati

  Mate has a diavel. Last service cost him over 2k. It is a rocket though. Used to bag Harley's mercilessly. Now we cuzzins. ??

  Ducati van pulled up at servo other day as I was filling my SG, he walks over says come check this out mate.

  Opens the doors of van and here sits the latest model Diavel.

  Factory Belt driven, factory forward controls. he was taking it to a specialist sparky to get the 18" Ape Hangerz wired in.

  It looked, from the back of the van, fucking awesome.

  True story, Just telling.

  Harley might want to get into Moto GP and run at front. they tried that once but was a failure.

  Great comments from you guys, things I had not thought of. Also I wouldn't be surprised if HD wanted to get a Yankee rider in on MotoGP. The bucks (especially if they can rig tv) are big and hey, ho hey man, Lorenzo ain't worth his pay.

  Harley needs new tech this year Euro 4 is being enforced enforced and in 2020 Euro 5 is and they are very restrictive for pollution and after marks parts

  HD did not attend the first round of bids, maybe a ploy or maybe they have dropped out.
