The 39th edition of the Biker Fest International exceeded all expectations, offering the public an increasingly rich and varied program. The Custom Bike Show once again proved to be the beating heart of the event: unique in Europe for its continuity since 1987, it captured the attention of visitors thanks to dozens of custom creations on display in the covered area of the Village.

This year, the quality of the bikes on display reached exceptional heights. The event hosted the Italian final of the Italian Motorcycle Championship (IMC) and the only national round of the AMD World Championship of Custom Bike Building, organized by the british magazine American Motorcycle Dealer. The Friuli stage saw a parade of the best custom builders, including master craftsmen and workshops of excellence from all over Europe.

The prestigious title of Best in Show at the IMC went to “11,” a Harley-Davidson derived single-cylinder motorcycle built entirely by hand by the Varese-based workshop Mannaia: a masterpiece of technique and style, combining mechanics with the refinement of jewelry.

For the AMD selection, the international jury chose three masterpieces: “Lucifer”, a 1942 Harley-Davidson WL Flathead transformed by Gallery Motorcycles into a classy full custom; the visionary Moto Guzzi AP 2.0 by Bepy Moto; and the gritty Harley Street Glide Turbo by Carlo Colombo’s Asso Special Bike, with its extreme style and technical solutions.

Colombo also took home the award from sponsor and technical partner Metzeler, which made a stop at the BFI with its Metzeler Custom Tour 2025. These unique interpretations were, of course, joined by the custom builds that competed in the eight contest categories: Bagger, Cafe Racer, HD Modified, Freestyle, Metric, Old Style, Scrambler, and Streetfighter.

The 1st Performance Bagger Show also made a very successful debut, bringing together an exclusive selection of sporty and racing baggers built in Italy. The event was enhanced by the presence of spanish champion Ruben Xaus, former World Superbike and MotoGP rider and promoter of the newborn Bagger Racing European Cup.

The Biker Fest International thus confirms its status not only as a reference point for the world of two wheels, but also as a true laboratory of creativity, innovation, and motorcycle culture.
