Good financial results for Ducati

Ducati has not only been voted one of the best brands in the UK, but has also experienced strong financial results during the economic crisis. The Italian bike manufacturer’s income grew by 25% for the first nine months and the motorcycle shipment from factory to dealer increased by 19.1% to 36,979 units. It looks like the Italians could still achieve the target of increasing sales to 20%.

In other manufacturer news, KTM will cut motorcycle production by ten percent for 2009 because of the plunging dollar-euro rate. Piaggio will also cut back their production line on its motorcycles and scooters, and BMW is suffering too after profit falling by 15.8%.
