Dirt, water, salt, soaps, detergents, surfactants, polishing/detailing chemicals, brake fluid, oil, gasoline, brake cleaner, petroleum solvents, grease, tar, bird droppings, cotton, nylon, leather. I'm sure there are some more, but I think that about sums it up.

Chemical-wise: Cellulose, silicone, silica, salt, water, glycols, mineral spirits, hexane/heptane/acetone, enzymes, bacteria, petroleum distillates, asphalt, and lots of chemical possibilities in the soap/detergent/surfactant category.

If you want to know what plastic can withstand the chemicals that motorbikes come into contact with then I suggest taking (ordering) a part from a motorcycle in an area exposes to such chemicals and working out what it's made of. No point reinventing the wheel. Some experts have (probably) carefully selected that plastic.
