Aprilia, of course launched the Ditech OCP equipped 50cc scooter. It is going well, except for market changes that have made sales progres slowere than expected. However, Aprilia are also in cahoots with Piaggio. Maybe this signals BMW interst in OCP for bikes.

One can dream!! LOL

BMW and Aprilia are at an advanced stage in talks on a new joint
project, BMW Italy Chairman Marco Saltalamacchia said recently.
Speaking at the Geneva Motor Show, Saltalamacchia told reporters
that "we are in an advanced stage of discussion. I believe there
will be developments in the near future." The two have already
collaborated in the past. "At present we are examining possible
joint industrial projects which would be in line with our strategies
for future products. It is premature to go into detail now. There
will be more to say in the coming months."

Last month, BMW Italy issued a statement saying that following the
success of their joint 650 model, Aprilia and BMW of Germany were
considering the development of a new motorbike.
