More than 170.000 visitors at Motor Bike Expo

Motor Bike Expo 2025, the biggest edition ever, concluded today at Veronafiere, featuring more than 15 world premieres, over 700 exhibitors, and a record-breaking 170,000 visitors. This edition marks a significant milestone in the motorcycle exhibition landscape.

Francesco Agnoletto and Paola Somma, founders and organizers of the event, emphasize the continuous growth in quality and scale of the show. “In Verona, the preferences of motorcyclists align with corporate strategies,” explains Paola Somma, “because MBE gathers large numbers and represents all facets of the motorcycle world. This year’s outstanding results confirm its fundamental role in the market.”

For Francesco Agnoletto, the numbers speak for themselves: “700 companies across 120,000 square meters—20% more exhibition space—33 major brands, 20 countries, over 3,000 motorcycles, an additional pavilion, a complete redesign, and a notable increase in professional attendance. Despite the weather, we surpassed the 170,000 visitor mark. This is the largest and most successful edition of MBE in terms of both numbers and quality.”

Unforgettable Moments at MBE 2025

Among the highlights of this edition were Max Biaggi’s visit and Aprilia’s grand celebration for Jacopo Cerutti’s Africa Eco Race victory. The event also showcased 60 of the world’s most stunning custom motorcycles, the Yamaha Girl Full Power riding school for women, and strong interest in adventure tourism talks, featuring moto-travelers and organized trips for motorcyclists. Outdoor exhibitions captivated and engaged every type of audience, alongside numerous competitions. One of the standout novelties was the Elegance Competition, organized by the Vespa Club d’Italia.

Recognition from Authorities and Institutions

The event also drew attention from key government figures and institutions. Among them were Tourism Minister Daniela Santanchè, Minister for Disabilities Alessandra Locatelli, and Matteo Zoppas, President of the ICE Agency.

At the opening ceremony, Minister Santanchè described Motor Bike Expo as a “rock fair where you can feel energy and passion.” For Matteo Zoppas, MBE is an exhibition that “continues to grow every year and is securing its place as a leader in the B2C sector.”
