MP 18 Motorcycle Expo - 3rd of February 2018 - Helsinki, Finland - Part 1 - Street & Offroad

Once again I had an opportunity to visit MP 18 motorcycle expo. It was held at the convention center of Helsinki called Messukeskus. This time I catched a night train from Oulu to Pasila. Convention center is conveniently located within a walking distance from Pasila train station so it easily accessable. Expo lasted three days from Friday to Sunday. I made my visit on Saturday. There was a lot of planned activities and showcases for visitors, such as stunt riding, mini supermoto racing, road racing exhibits, test drive simulators etc. There was also a possibility test drive new motorcycles in an indoor circuit where racing events also took place.

Wide variety of exhibitors included bigger and smaller motorcycle brands from Europe, United States and Japan, such as Aprilia, BMW, Triumph, Harley-Davidson, Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Yamaha etc. Motorcycle brands were placed to same hall with parts and riding gear vendors. Different MC and Motorsport clubs and associations had also stands at the expo. Petrol Circus showcased modified motorcycles and best motorcycles were awarded with trophies and prices.

MP 17 Motorcycle Show - 3rd of February 2017 - Helsinki, Finland

The Friday before last Friday I made a short one day trip to Helsinki to visit this year's MP 17 Motorcycle show held in Messukeskus, largest venue in Finland. You can find more information on the show from its website and Facebook page.

I started my journey from coach station of Oulu where I took a night shift bus to Kamppi, shopping center in the center of Helsinki. After travelling little over eight hours my bus reached its final destination. From Kamppi I had to take another bus to Pasila, where the show took place. Before doing so I took a short walk around downtown and went sightseeing since I had some spare time before the show started.
