Head of Bianchi and Ducati meet... good article.
Accordo Bianchi - Ducati
Two of the coolest Italian companies have come together: Bianchi and Ducati. Yesterday at Bianchi headquarters in Treviglio the announcement was made that by the fall of 2006 there would be a special line of bicycles produced solely for Ducati. Bianchi will debut the new range of bikes, and kits, at the 2006 trade shows. .. more here...

Kind of like the partnership between Colnago and Ferrari. Personally, I don't like the Colnago/Ferrari bikes and I don't like the Bianchi/Ducati bikes. If you want an Italian bicycle, buy a Colnago, DeRosa, Pinarello, Willier, or Bianchi, if you want an Italian car, buy a Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati, or Alfa Romeo, and if you want an Italian motorcycle, but a Ducati. Obviously, the Colnago, Ferrari, and Ducati are at the top of those lines, followed closely by the rest, in my opinion.
Who would want to buy a Bianchi motorcycle? Not me.

I agree. Too much of a novelty. Go for the Bianchi or go for the Ducati. I love both marques-just not on the same plate.

The funny thing is that Bianchi built their own motorcycles for 50+ years. E.g.

As far as paying extra for having a Ducati sticker on a bicycle - I don't think so. And I am a motorcycle enthusiast.
