Born as a sort of “spin off” from Biker Fest International, Italian Bike Week certainly has a strong focus on off-road, with special emphasis on the Enduro, Cross and Adventure sectors. However, the end-of-summer event, which will take place from September 14 to 17 in Lignano Sabbiadoro (UD), cannot forget its roots, which delve deep into the customization scene. A world that counts BFI and IWB among the most important shows in Europe, also due to the well-established partnership with a true international institution such as the British magazine American Motorcycle Dealer.
Also for this edition, in fact, the Custom Bike Show of Italian Bike Week will count on the prestige of the AMD World Championship of Custom Bike Building, bringing back to Lignano the ‘world cup’ dedicated to the most important manufacturers of special bikes. In conjunction, the 2023 edition of Italian Bike Week will also host the third round of the Italian Motorcycle Championship (IMC), which will land in Lignano again four months after the Biker Fest.
Famous manufacturers, renowned figures from Kustom Kulture and young promises from the world of customization will challenge each other in the “ring” set up in the Luna Park area, which will become the stage for dozens of incredible custom motorcycles: not just baggers, café racers and choppers, but also bobbers, muscle bikes and track-oriented transformations.
Registration is free and many customizers have already confirmed their participation. Among exclusive world previews and exquisite pieces, this unmissable edition will have the honor of welcoming Vito Klemenčič, a.k.a. VK Custom Works, the Slovenian two-wheel artist who achieved an impressive second place at the 120th Harley-Davidson Anniversary’s Custom Bike Show (Budapest, Hungary) with his Flathead chopper.
