So India, and the rest of the civilised world which is not in the EU, has to accept the imposition of EU emissions regualtions by default.. Who says the European Project isn't imperialist?
Maybe Ducati should start making banned bikes in India where the EU Stazi has no jurisdiction over what they build..?
Then enthusiasts of frilly jackets, Dale Winton interior decor and Barbra Streisand record collections would still be able to buy the 1100 Scramblers and Bumbita Tesis etc that are compatible with their tastes. :unsure:
Just a thought..

Not sure that India has enough batty boys with spare cash to buy 'Enfield upgrades' or that ducati would be willing to jeopardise the 'made in Italy' moniker by sourcing cheaper chinesium parts to be assembled in the sub-continent to compete with Enfield.

Perhaps the answer is for Italexit to happen and a modern day mussolini type character throws all foreign influence out of Italy to return to the glory days of the 1930s 😉

I'm pretty sure Ducati already make some bikes in Thailand.
No reason not to put up a tin shed in somewhere like Bangalore to knock out entry-level jalopies like the Scrambler and the Tesi to take on Enfield.

Yes they do but majority of parts made in Italy and shipped for assembly only, that way they can still advertise as made in Italy - and keep the profit margin tidy 🇮🇹👍

The Ducati Diavel is primarily "assembled" in Borgo Panigale, Bologna, Italy. While Ducati has subsidiaries and production facilities in other locations, like Thailand, the Diavel is designed and "assembled" in Borgo Panigale.

Yep, it's made in the LadyBoy capital of the world unlike true Italian Exotica such as the magnificent Bimota Tesi 3D Edizione Finale :love:
