Anybody know the history behind this? Cannot find anything online other than last minute , Ducati pulled the Cagiva branding and put it under Ducati

In '93 when the m900 went on sale, Ducati was owned by Cagiva, who liked to put their elefant logo in as many places as possible.
Keep a lookout and you'll probably find a few more: check the twist grip body and the air box for starters.
Cagiva sold Ducati later in the 90's and the number of Elefants slowly reduced as parts were respecified.
Another noticeable change from the change of ownership was the change in Ducati tank logo. Cagiva still own the copyright for the earlier letter style apparently.
