The roar of engines and applause are set to resound louder than ever: MotoLive, the EICMA arena, is celebrating its 20th anniversary and promises a thrilling 2025 edition. From November 6 to 9, at Fiera Milano Rho, the more than 60,000 square meters of the outdoor area of the International Two-wheeler Exhibition will once again be transformed into the most eagerly awaited stage for races, breathtaking shows, entertainment from the central stage, and acrobatic stunts.
Among the most eagerly awaited events at MotoLive is undoubtedly the return of the Champions Charity Race, a series of pursuit duels that will see more than forty riders take to the track, including true motorsport legends, in two categories: Rally and Legend.
The organizers today unveiled the 2025 entry list for the Legend category, which will race on Saturday, September 9, and Sunday, September 10, on specialized single-cylinder flat track bikes, and it is mind-boggling: more than 35 world titles, the ultimate in motorsport on asphalt and dirt.

The prototype of a Honda CRF 450 with carbon frame by Picasso Engineering is also underway!
After the success of the 2023 and 2024 editions, on Thursday 7 and Friday 8, the twin-cylinder maxi enduro bikes, the queens of the market, will also be back on track. For this segment, the same formula will be used with pursuit races and the presence of 16 different brands, which will field their riders chosen from among ambassadors and the best off-road specialists linked to their respective brands.
