Yes, this rumor has been circulating for a while now. It could be real or not. I'd prefer it wasn't.

Just because Bajaj had mentioned that they would like to buy a company like Triumph or Ducati, does not mean that either are for sale.

Nor that Bajaj would be in a position to buy. A later article in the Indian press cast serious doubts on their financial picture.

Even if production was moved to India why would it matter? The designs were made in England so it's still an English bike,right? Right?

I don't think it will ever happen, if John Bloor sold it to the Indians it will be the final coup de grace of the marque. Look at the Royal Enfield, stuck in a time warp, maybe that's an attraction but technologywise fatal. Would you like a Daytona 675 as is now in 2025 ?

The magazine did say it was gossip.
