Yeah, Shingen being the villain is hardly a surprise considering the story they're adapting.

http://jacksonville.com/autos/2013-05-17/story/geared-action#ixzz2TZVCCCWjAs summer films become more explosive and action-oriented, so too are the cars and bikes that are featured. But as much as vehicles add a level of excitement and engagement to filmgoers experience, viewers are increasingly sophisticated.
Its no longer acceptable just to place the most current or desirable product. The cars have to be true to character.
For me, the biggest focus with putting vehicles in the movie is to make them work for the movie and not seem like product placement, said James Mangold, director of the upcoming Marvel film, The Wolverine, starring Jackman and, briefly, a Ducati Diavel and Audi R8 Spyder.
Most of the riding and driving is done by a female character named Yukio who nicks vehicles from her wealthy boss and uses them to perform hard stops, hard pull-ins, and pulling in to tiny spaces at high speed, said Mangold.
But were the movie about a guy with claws, so the real action in our film is more hand-to-hand and physical.
Despite the limited screen time, the Ducati Diavel and The Wolverine are a perfect fit, said Stefano Sbettega, marketing and communications director for Ducati North America in Cupertino, Calif.
Its a fantastic combination of what the motorcycle represents and the Wolverine, who is somehow devilish and has a huge following all over the world.
The devil, or Diavel, has been on the market two years but is getting the film treatment for the first time through The Wolverine, in which it will be ridden by Hugh Jackman (a motorcyclist in real life) as well as the Yukio character, Sbettega said.
