Novegro – 65th Exchange Exhibition

Enthusiasts of vintage two-wheelers, but not only, this weekend they meet in Novegro, a few steps from Milan, for one of the most interesting events for their favorite shopping. In fact, people go to the Mostra Exchange to admire vehicles from the past, or to look for the missing spare part to complete the restoration of their vintage motorbike, but in the end many end up purchasing something unplanned instead, perhaps for the memories that certain vehicles bring back. to the mind. 16.000 square meters indoors and 80.000 outdoors for what it is in terms of trading volume the event of this type most important in Italy.

The winter edition (remember that the Mostra Exchange is held several times during the year) also attracts enthusiasts from abroad, we even met people who came to Italy specifically from Japan, looking for a bargain or an unobtainable gem, mainly on two wheels, but a small space is also dedicated to some cars.

The 65th edition also offers a space dedicated to “The motorcycles of the African dream”. This is an exhibition of the motorcycles that made the history of the 80s editions of the Paris-Dakar. There is no shortage of the legendary Africa Twin 650, back on the agenda for the version just launched by Honda and at the top of the sales charts, but we then find examples of the Honda XL 600 Parigi Dakar, the Yamaha 600 Teneré, the XT 550 Dakar and of one of the queens, the BMW R80 GS which surprised by winning after skeptics thought its use in the desert was crazy.

Defending the Italian colours, among others, there are also two Gileras: the 600 RC 1989 Silhouette and the 600 RC 1987 Proto.

The Mostra Exchange is held at the Fiera di Novegro (between Milan and Linate airport), opened its doors on Friday and will close tomorrow, Sunday 21 February.
