    What I have in mind is a TSI supercharger/turbo engine in a touring bike. Not like this...

    Audi bought Ducati, and Audi is part of Volkswagen. So it already happened ... (and since both audi and vw are german, better get used to pronouncing it "Dzucathi" )

    How about the konig ,
    A great book for german manufacturers was mick walkers german racing motorcycle
    And on another note the bmw s1000r production motor and other accessories are made in china at the bmw factory hence the low price off that model compared to the GS range.
