Japanese speedster or American Muscle? The all time question amongst many motorcyclists. It is however, obvious, that the Japanese motorbike manufacturer giant known as Honda is now dominating the world motorcycle market.

Most riders will stick to the market segment that they enjoy, but some riders may transition their market segment as well as their riding style as they age. (A lot of Harley riders will tell you there first motorcycle back in the day was an old Honda.) * An automobile can be considered a substitute product, however more than likely a consumer is looking to purchase a motorcycle because they want a motorcycle, not necessarily because they strictly need transportation and they are looking at all transportation industries. * Competing sellers * The largest force that the sport bike world faces is competition from competing sellers. The appeal of sport bikes and the brands themselves (including Ducati) all came from roots of competitive motorcycle racing.
1)Can Ducati sustain its position in the sport segment? Can Honda and other Japanese manufacturers stop its growth in this segment? They followed mostly the path of Harley Davidson in their strategies in different activities. They have spare part card. They competed with quality service.

Marketing Simulation Tammy Harris MKT/421 March 26, 2014 Chris Hudson Marketing Simulations As a marketing manager for Cruiser Thorr who sells high end motorcycles and we see that business is expanding at a rapid pace.
