Amahemuhemu awaqali. Amahemuhemu aye ajikeleza ukususela ngo-Agasti wonyaka odlulileyo ukuba intsapho yaseBonomi, ephethe i-Investindustrial - i-holding that owns Ducati - iya kuzama ukuthengisa uphawu.
Kodwa kuthekani ukuza kuthi ga ngoku ibingamahemuhemu nje ngoku afumana ukuxinana.

Iingqikelelo ecaleni, wonke umntu uyavumelana ekuchazeni ukuba eli lelona xesha lilungileyo lokuthengisa iDucati. Uphawu lwase-Italiya lukwimpilo ebalaseleyo yezemali, intengiso iyakhula, inoluhlu lwemodeli esexesheni kwaye iziphumo zemidlalo ziye zanelisa.
