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.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.
Just a thought..

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![]()

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 tidyI'm pretty sure Ducati already make some bikes in Thailand.

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.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![]()
I had one as loan bike when I took it back in the guys from the workshop came out to wash it and put it away, they commented on how hot it wasI thought it was because they are gay, and crap to ride.
Were they getting in all of a lather, wearing high heels and mankini's Hugo?I had one as loan bike when I took it back in the guys from the workshop came out to wash it and put it away, they commented on how hot it was
