Audi, currently one of the most successful and ambitious car manufacturers, was founded nearly three centuries ago in the German village of Ingolstadt on the banks of the Danube. Truth be told, if you take a stroll around the town, you can see what people missed here even that long ago.
It is not widely known that almost up until the 1960s, Audi produced only motorcycles. Motornews.ru journalists have been to the birthplace of Audi, the plant and the museum of the famous Ingolstadt-based brand. In the Audi museum, there are not only motorbikes, but also automobiles on display, but nevertheless, we will focus on two-wheel vehicles here.
Kawasaki and BMW Motorrad boasted the biggest stands among all. The Kawasaki stand was the most breath taking with plenty of bike models available to sit on and touch, and BMW stand was impressive in terms of its size and the gem that it showed off, i.e. awesome BMW Concept6. Ducati will be remembered by its stand’s size as well, along with friendly girls that could even speak Russian a little. In general, the way EICMA was organized, its endless show rooms, and, of course, reputable motorcycle producers make this Milan exhibition a very special event. For this reason, Motonews.ru suggests that future visitors to EICMA in Milan prepare to spend at least a week there, to see the latest motorcycle models and become part of this endless motorbike world.
In 2009, RTE-Group will stick to its much-loved tradition and for the 6th time bring together producers and distributors of motorcycles, motorbike equipment, parts and lubricants, as well as professional bikers and moto fans, motorbike clubs, and simply all those who can’t live without their two-wheeled friends in Moscow!
