All-new MotoGP “Legends of Speed” exhibition to take centre stage at EICMA

MotoGP and EICMA are set to bring their first joint project to life this November, after revealing the newly-named “Legends of Speed” exhibition.

MotoGP will celebrate over 70 years of premier class racing through more than 35 motorcycles, including the AJS Porcupine 500 that Leslie Graham claimed the inaugural 500cc title with in 1949.

There will be three- and four-cylinder MV Agusta models on display that were ridden by Giacomo Agostini and Phil Reed. 

The line-up of iconic motorcycles will also feature bikes ridden by the likes of nine-time world champion Valentino Rossi, and Kevin Schwantz. 

Bringing the collection full circle to the modern era of MotoGP will be a line-up of current race bikes used by all five manufacturers.  

Joining the race collection in hall 22 will be a dedicated gaming area, which is set to be part of an exhibition space covering more than 1,400 square metres.  

There will be various fan engagement activities, too, as well as the chance to win tickets to the 2027 Italian Grand Prix at Mugello.  

Additionally, there will be a wide range of interactive content and a “high-impact visual experience” featured throughout the event, which takes place from 5-8 November, in Milan, Italy. 

Carlos Ezpeleta, Deputy CEO of MotoGP Group, said this about the new project:

“Our partnership with EICMA allows us to bring MotoGP even closer to the fans and to tell the story of our sport beyond the racetrack. Legends of Speed celebrates an extraordinary history, but above all it creates a bridge between MotoGP’s heritage and its present, defined by technology, entertainment and constant evolution. 

“EICMA is a unique global platform for the world of two wheels, and together we want to offer fans new ways to experience MotoGP, while also reaching new audiences and younger generations. All the initiatives we are developing together are moving precisely in this direction.”
