The motorcycle market grew in 2023 - in the eastern federal states even slightly more than the national average. At the same time, the Leipzig motorcycle trade fair has also expanded again. According to the organizers, the exhibition space this year is 30 percent larger than in 2022, meaning that the trade fair has almost returned to its pre-corona size, said a spokesperson.
The motorcycle trade fair opens its doors from Friday to Sunday. According to the organizers, almost all major manufacturers will be exhibiting in Leipzig - from Harley-Davidson to Yamaha and Suzuki. Accessories, helmets and clothing will also be on display. There will also be a market for used machines. In total, more than 150 exhibitors will be present in Leipzig.
According to the trade fair, 32,813 two-wheelers over 125 cubic centimetres in displacement were newly registered last year in the eastern federal states including Berlin. This was an increase of a good twelve percent compared to 2022. Nationwide, the increase was a good seven percent with around 213,200 new registrations.
The motorcycle trade fair opens on Friday at noon as a pure two-wheeler trade fair. On Saturday and Sunday, it will be held together with the "House, Garden and Leisure" trade fair. A combined ticket then grants access to all exhibition halls.
