Nope, these are just the regular manufacturers that have always supplied Ducati. Brembo and Showa supply a huge percentage of the industry. Seimens makes all kinds of electronic doo-dads, from simple relays, to telecom systems, to radiology equipment. Marchesini makes all the wheels Ducati uses. Even the ancient 3 spoke cast aluminums on my 916 are Marchesinis. And Bridgestone makes tires for everything that rolls on wheels. Heck, they even made bicycles a few years back. Lots of OEM spec'd tires are Bridgestones.

It's just a simple fact that when you buy a Ducati, you get what you pay for... a well thought out, precisely engineered, and exquisitely perfect piece of machinery.

Haha. It's true, for once you get the sense that your hard earned cash has bought you something worthwhile and on par to what you actually spent when you get a Ducati

My bike has Brembo wheels, I didn't even know Brembo made wheels until I got my bike. I like em though  [moto]

I believe, and someone correct me if I'm wrong, that Brembo and Marchesini are under the same umbrella.

man, im totally content with my purchase. i feel like, right off the line, i have what people work years to build.

[Beyote]

Have you seen the stock Aprilia Milles?

[Evil_Ductator]

I think a lot of manufacturers buy components for their production bikes from those companies.  In many cases though they make them non-branded OEM parts and sell them to the manufacturer for cheaper.

I'd like to see a pic of those "Desmo" lifters if you have any.

[Evil_Ductator]

you got me there!

I just bought these on Ebay, still cant seem to find any johnson rods .  The guy told me they should be good for about 15bhp. I'm probably going to do the install this week sometime.  I was looking for a set from Ohlins, but they were so expensive!

OMG!!   

My OEM lifters are soooo worn.... how much did you pay for those?!?!

Who ever says that doesn't have to deal with the new ecu's that use o2 sensors...

You are correct, if you look at your wheels closely, you'll see the Brembo stamp.
