The Motorcycle Fair, also known as Motorradwelt Bodensee, held at Messe Friedrichshafen in Germany, witnessed an impressive attendance of 40,870 motorcycle enthusiasts celebrating the start of the new season. This event transformed the exhibition grounds into a vibrant hub for motorcycle fans from the international border region of three countries. The Managing Director, Klaus Wellmann, expressed satisfaction with the event, noting the positive atmosphere and high level of professional interest among attendees.

The introduction of new models, such as the KTM 990 Duke, KTM 990 RCR, and the KTM 1390 Super Adventure S EVO, drew considerable attention, along with the BMW F450 GS. A notable world premiere, the Indian Chief Vintage, also captured the audience's interest. Feedback from exhibitors was overwhelmingly positive, with many noting a high level of buyer interest. The event successfully showcased a range of customized motorcycles, culminating in the Best Bike Award going to Markus Berger for his Harley Davidson Chopper MB, while Enrico Stepan's BMW R18 won the 'Best of Show' category. This fair stands out for its cross-border appeal, with a reach extending into German-speaking countries abroad, reinforcing the significance of the Friedrichshafen location.
