Interesting that Ducati wants to buy a stake of Aprilia. Maybe if it were to happen, Ducati would transplant the Aprilia MotoGP team and put it back into WSBK where it belongs with the RSV Mille Factory where it belongs. Anybody think think Aprilia would accept that offer, or will they try and tough it out by looking for another financial source?

I hope they tough it out. I like seeing two very separate major Italian motorcycle manufacturers. That and if I were to choose a side between the two of them it'd be Aprilia, easy.

Same here. From what I hear, Aprilia was being bought by Rotax (the makers of their engines) which is owned by Bombardier a Canadian company...
