The next edition of southern Germany’s largest motorcycle trade fair will take place from January 31 to February 2, 2025. Motorradwelt Bodensee showcases the latest offers and trends in motorcycles, scooters, trikes, and quads across ten halls, featuring approximately 200 exhibiting companies and an engaging show program. “We are particularly pleased that we have been able to expand the action program to include two more halls,” says Project Manager Petra Rathgeber. Alongside popular crowd favorites such as the “Best Bike Award” and the “Bikers Welcome” travel hall, the program will feature exciting new highlights such as the BMW Burnout Shows and the Sidecar Show Race.
Full action across five halls and the outdoor space
With two more action halls than the 2024 edition, Motorradwelt Bodensee 2025 promises plenty of spectacular stunts and jumps. The Simson races in Hall A7 will deliver nostalgia at breakneck speed. Riders of vintage Simson bikes from the former East Germany will face off on a challenging course. Another new event in Hall A7 is the Sidecar Show Races. The specially designed motorcycles with sidecars require particular skill for drifting around bends, as they have no brakes. Imanuel Schramm and Nadin Löffler, a duo from Wellmutsweiler near Tettnang who secured fourth place in this year’s European Grass Track Sidecar Championship, will also be taking part. In Hall A3, FMX jumpers will be showing off their best tricks during their demonstrations. The quad bike pros are set to captivate the audience once again with their extraordinary stunts. Stunt expert Christian Rid will also be demonstrating his impressive motorcycle maneuvers.
The smell of gasoline will be in the air not only in the halls but also in the outdoor space. If you’re eager to see smoke billowing from tires, don’t miss the BMW Burnout Shows in the outdoor area. These will be organized and implemented by the BMW dealer Munding in Riedlingen in collaboration with BMW. The Supermoto Show Race in Hall A5 is also an exciting and fast-paced event. Participants will include riders from the Kids, Youngster, Cup, and Prestige classes. Registration is available at www.supermotobodensee.de.
Prominent brands and dealers involved
“Exhibitor planning is in full swing, and we’ve been able to attract several well-known brands,” Petra Rathgeber explains. Kawasaki, Triumph, and Indian Motorcycle are among the manufacturers that will each have their own stand at Motorradwelt Bodensee 2025. Various dealers will also carry motorcycles from other brands, including BMW, Royal Enfield, and CF Moto.
Hands-on program for young and old alike
The test tracks powered by the “Bildungs-, Event- & Trainings-Zentrum” (BEZ) in Hall A7 offer the opportunity to get hands-on and try things out for yourself. Whether beginners or advanced riders, visitors will be able to put their skills to the test on a range of motorized two or four-wheel vehicles and get personalized advice from professionals. Moto Gymkhana safety training will also be offered in Hall A7. The test track training, which originated in Japan, focuses on speed as well as skill. Young motorcycle enthusiasts can enjoy themselves on the kids’ motorcycle track in Hall A4.
