EICMA 2011 - 69th International Motorcycle Exhibition

Check out our video from this year's EICMA motorcycle show which took place in Milan earlier this month. As usual there was loads to see at the show, we got the chance to have a quick chat with stunt rider Rok Bagoroš from Slovenia who spotted us in our Pedstop tees. Rok put on a good show on the new KTM 125 Duke street bike, watch him in action in our vid. 2011 seemed to be the year of the maxi scooter at EICMA with the world premiere of the new BMW C600 maxi scooters, the revamped Yamaha TMAX which looked pretty wicked and a new maxi scoot from Honda. If maxi scoots aren't your thing then there was still plenty to see at the 50cc end of the spectrum with the new Italjet Dragster which looked pretty cool, the usual eye candy from Polini, Wipe2's Stage6 Street Dragster prototype, we also met up with Olivier Murro, the designer behind this amazing scooter. So without further ado, sit back and watch our latest PED TV production:

EICMA 2010

Globe trotters from Pedstop HQ have been in Italy over the last few days clocking up some miles at the Fiera Milano complex in Milan whilst on the hunt for new stuff at this year's EICMA International Motorcycle show. We should have taken pedometers, the place is that big - 420 exhibitors and 500 brands spread out over six massive halls. There was plenty of eye candy, some new models and we don't just mean the ladies!

Given that the INTERMOT show had already taken place in Germany a few weeks back we'd already seen some of the new stuff we saw at EICMA. However there were still a few surprises in store from the big brands. Honda's distinctly Silver Wing-esque 'New Mid Concept' looked pretty slick. Engine details haven't been released as yet but Honda did announce that the New Mid Concept is equipped with dual clutch transmission instead of the usual CVT fare found on most scooters.

What appeared to be an exercise in style, the fluid forms of the X-2012 hybrid concept from Garelli got a lot of interest from the punters, shame it isn't actually mobile though:

At first glance we thought this was a Piaggio MP3. It's made by Quadro Tecnologie in Italy and it's called the Quadro 3D and features an innovative patented hydraulic tilting system along with a four-stroke 350cc engine.

Speaking of Piaggio, we rather liked the three-seat four wheeler NT3 concept that was unveiled at EICMA. Don't build your hopes up though, a Piaggio rep at the show told us it won't be available in Europe but will go on sale in Southeast Asia. Shame really we'd already pondered the idea of tuning one of these 300cc babies:

Keep an eye on our blog and our Flickr account for more eye candy from the show plus a report on PETROL mag soon.
