Will the development of the 1199 benefit under Audi ownership?

Very smart move on Audi's part to acquire Ducati. They get access to a complementary set of technology resources along with a premier brand. In return Ducati gets the financial commitment to explore options that they deem in their interest. Net Net .. everyone is a winner with this deal.

+1 couldn"t have put it better. Two great firms become one. I watch with interest

Well, to add, the rumor is is that Audi did this due to the never-ending competition with BMW (maybe some German brothers/ sisters can speak to this) for the cat-bird seat. So there would be additional incentive to push the tech, performance and reliability a bit further. Again, win-win for us.

Audi has done a lot for Lamborghini and it's appreciated. I would like to see some Lamborghini in Ducati. It wouldn't matter, my son would still sleep through the experience

Just hope we are going down the same route as Porsche
Boxster '96
Cayenne '02
Panamera '09

But look at Ducati
Multistrada '03
Hypomotard '05
Street Fighter '08
Diavel '10 - WHAT! Ducati makes a cruiser?

lol i think diavel is a nice bike
its like a old mans bike or sumfin (no offence just a expression)

easy to ride and looks simple

also keyless lol which i hope they implement in other future bikes

Hey, they've already decided to start assembling some bikes in Brazil. Make of that what you will.

I was driving the Lamborghini Gallardo BiColore Limited Edition today. Nice car. Brakes are amazing.

For a car, they can stop for sure.

I would LOVE the VW group to take over Ducati's customer service and relationship management.
As it is now, I hate being treated as if I am not worthy of Ducati's attention. It's as if customers are privileged to have bought the bike and we should shut up and just wait to find out:
- when you will get the bike you ordered six months ago; or, if you have the bike,
- when you can get a friggin shop manual!
