Yamaha, Ducati step up support for 2026 Motorcycle Hall of Fame Ceremony
Yamaha Motor Corporation and Ducati North America will support the 2026 AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, with Yamaha serving as presenting sponsor and Ducati as the event’s official livestream sponsor. The ceremony is scheduled for Sept. 10 at the Event Center at Violet Woods in Pickerington, Ohio.
Yamaha has supported the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame for years and will headline an event honoring the Class of 2026. This year’s inductees are Gary Sellers, Jake Johnson, Damon Bradshaw, Russell Bobbitt, Eraldo Ferracci and Dale Walker. Former motocross champion Broc Glover also will receive recognition as an AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame Legend.
“The AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame preserves the rich history of American motorcycling,” Yamaha Motorsports Marketing Director Steve Nessl says. “We take great pride in supporting the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony.”
Ducati North America’s sponsorship will help bring the ceremony to a broader audience through an official livestream. The partnership comes as Ducati celebrates its 100th anniversary in 2026.
The American Motorcyclist Association established the Hall of Fame to recognize individuals who have made significant contributions to motorcycling and its history. Tickets for the 2026 ceremony are currently on sale.
