Could it be true? The rumormill is running overtime with reports of a potential merger between a pair of our favorite two-wheeled giants: Ducati<\/a> and Piaggio<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Piaggio has no comment on the matter, refusing to either confirm or deny the supposed Ducati deal. Still, we can’t help but run through the what-ifs, assuming there’s a shred of truth to this. Perhaps we’ll finally see some stability in the U.S. surrounding the many great brands under Piaggio’s roof.<\/p>\n

Could Piaggio’s broad scope of product (currently offered throughout the Vespa<\/a>, Moto Guzzi<\/a> and Aprilia<\/a> lines), coupled with the stable dealer network Ducati has built, be the recipe for a successful challenge to rivals from Japan and beyond? Stay tuned for more updates as they become available.<\/p>\n
