The recent purchase of Ducati by Audi means such a motorcycle is not all that improbable, and Audi adds considerably to Ducati's expertise with carbon fiber knowhow and Audi's Direct Shift Gearbox. Audi-owned DKW was once the largest manufacturer of motorcycles in the world - wouldn't it be nice to see a real one of these surface.</p> <ul id="gallery_images"> <li><a href="/web/20130606210412/http://www.gizmag.com/audi-848-motorrad-roadster-concept/27055/pictures#1" class="image"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130606210412im_/http://images.gizmag.com/gallery_tn/audi_848_motorrad_roadster_concept_motorcycle-24.jpg" title="Audi roadster Motorrad concept " alt="Audi roadster Motorrad concept "/></a></li> <li><a href="/web/20130606210412/http://www.gizmag.com/audi-848-motorrad-roadster-concept/27055/pictures#2" class="image"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130606210412im_/http://images.gizmag.com/gallery_tn/audi_848_motorrad_roadster_concept_motorcycle-21.jpg" title="Audi roadster Motorrad concept " alt="Audi roadster Motorrad concept "/></a></li> <li><a href="/web/20130606210412/http://www.gizmag.com/audi-848-motorrad-roadster-concept/27055/pictures#3" class="image"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130606210412im_/http://images.gizmag.com/gallery_tn/audi_848_motorrad_roadster_concept_motorcycle-30.jpg" title="Audi roadster Motorrad concept " alt="Audi roadster Motorrad concept "/></a></li> <li><a href="/web/20130606210412/http://www.gizmag.com/audi-848-motorrad-roadster-concept/27055/pictures#4" class="image"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130606210412im_/http://images.gizmag.com/gallery_tn/audi_848_motorrad_roadster_concept_motorcycle-25.jpg" title="Audi roadster Motorrad concept " alt="Audi roadster Motorrad concept "/></a></li> <li id="view_all"><a href="/web/20130606210412/http://www.gizmag.com/audi-848-motorrad-roadster-concept/27055/pictures" class="blue">View all<br/></a></li> </ul> <div class="clear_both"></div> <p>Thibault Devauze explained to Gizmag how the concept came to be: "In 2011, I was working at Opel when I went to Ingolstadt to visit my brother, who was an intern at Audi."</p> <p>"We visited Audi's museum and BMW's museum in Munich and we were inspired by all the things we saw."</p> <p>"A few weeks later, I heard that Audi had bought Ducati, and that gave me this idea."</p> <div style="width: 530px; height: 300px; " class="article_img"><a href="/web/20130606210412/http://www.gizmag.com/audi-848-motorrad-roadster-concept/27055/pictures#5" target="_blank"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130606210412im_/http://images.gizmag.com/inline/audi_848_motorrad_roadster_concept_motorcycle-22.jpg" width="530" alt="Audi roadster Motorrad concept "/></a></div> <p>"At the same time, my friend Clement Couvreur, an excellent modeler from ISD Valenciennes, came to work in my department at Opel.</p> <p>"He was the first guy who I talked about my project and he was very excited about it.

When the brothers visited the Audi museum, they realised how important motorcycles were to the Audi heritage.</p> <p>The Audi name compromises many different famous marques, including NSU, Auto Union, Wanderer and DKW.</p> <p>DKW was the world's largest manufacturer of motorcycles prior to WWII, and though its motorcycles were dominant in the smaller classes in pre-WWII Grand Prix across Europe, its greatest legacy was the RT125 two-stroke single.</p> <div style="width: 529px; height: 347px; " class="article_img"><a href="/web/20130606210412/http://www.gizmag.com/audi-848-motorrad-roadster-concept/27055/pictures#20" target="_blank"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130606210412im_/http://images.gizmag.com/inline/audi_848_motorrad_roadster_concept_motorcycle-19.png" width="529" alt="DKW's RT125 became the most copied motorcycle in history after the company's designs becam..."/></a></div> <p>The bike's designs essentially became open source due to reparations after WWII and <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130606210412/http://vintageveloce.blogspot.com/2012/02/legacy-of-dkw-rt-125-origins-of.html" target="_blank">became the basis for many other motorcycles</a>, most famously the Harley Hummer, BSA's famous Bantam, Jawa 125, Royal Enfield's Flying Flea and Triumph's BDG125.</p> <p>Remarkably, the RT125 appears to have been the basis for the foundation of a few not-so-insignificant motorcycle companies too. Yamaha's first motorcycle (the YA125) was a direct copy of the RT125 as was Kawasaki's first production motorcycle.</p> <p>If that's not enough, there are also some striking similarities between the RT125 and MV Agusta's first motorcycle, the Turismo. MV Agusta remains one of motorcycling's most honoured marques, having won numerous World Championships. That's not a bad trifecta.</p> <p>So a motorcycle wearing an Audi badge isn't all that far fetched, and the core of Audi's motorcycle IP is now centred on Ducati.</p> <p>On the basis of the incredible legacy the DKW name leaves, perhaps it should also be resurrected as a sister brand to Ducati. Many other automotive marques have been reborn thanks to the landmark values they created, and DKW's provenance is stellar.</p> <p>Bravo chaps!</p>    <script type="text/javascript" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130606210412js_/http://static.fmpub.net/zone/7980"></script> <div id="bottom_unit"> <script type="text/javascript"> </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130606210412js_/http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"></script> </div> </div> <span class="title share_bar">Share</span> <div id="article_share_bar" class="dotsontop share_bar"> <div class="as_button fb_as_button"><div class="fb-like" data-href="http://www.gizmag.com/audi-848-motorrad-roadster-concept/27055/" data-send="false" data-layout="box_count" data-show-faces="false"></div><script type="text/javascript">_ga.trackFacebook();</script></div> <div class="as_button"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130606210412/http://twitter.com/share" class="twitter-share-button" data-count="vertical" data-via="gizmag">Tweet</a></div> <div class="as_button"><div class="g-plusone" data-size="tall" data-href="http://www.gizmag.com/audi-848-motorrad-roadster-concept/27055/"></div></div> <div class="as_button"><iframe style="overflow: hidden; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; " src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130606210412if_/http://badge.stumbleupon.com/badge/embed/5/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gizmag.com%2Faudi-848-motorrad-roadster-concept%2F27055%2F" width="50" height="60" id="iframe-stmblpn-widget-2"></iframe></div> <div class="as_button"><div class="pin-it-button" data-url="https://web.archive.org/web/20130606210412oe_/http://www.gizmag.com/audi-848-motorrad-roadster-concept/27055/" data-image="http://images.gizmag.com/hero/audi_848_motorrad_roadster_concept_motorcycle.jpg" data-description="French automotive designers Thibault and Marc Devauze and modeller Clement Couvreur have created this Audi roadster motorcycle concept based on a Ducati 848 engine but with elements of Ducati's Hypermotard and Monster.
