Ducati have long been known for their excellence in design and performance. From the first post-Second World War bicycle-like low-displacement motorbikes, Ducati has grown over the years into a racing giant that are consistently competitive in both the racing arena and the world motorcycle marketplace. Modern Ducatis remain among the dominant performance motorcycles available today partly because of the Desmodromic valve design, which is nearing its 50th year of use. The 2007 Ducati Apparel line includes leather jackets for men and women, clothing for men, women and children as well as a wide range of accessories.

Throughout KTM's history, they have been on the leading edge of motorcycle technology. They were the first manufacturer to produce an air-cooled four-stroke motorcycle engine for an off road motorcycle, a design which has since been replicated by all other manufacturers. Due to its successes in off-road use, the KTM has proven itself to be highly competitive in off-road motorcycle sports. The KTM has won the Dakar rally 6 times in a row since 2001.

BMW Motorrad is a major manufacturer of luxury motorcycles. It has always been an innovator in motorcycle designs and technology. Throughout its history, BMW Motorrad has been successful in a range of motor sport activities. BMW Motorrad has sponsored, competed and won many of the most coveted and prestigious races and motoring events.
