When the stage lights illuminated the halls of Ptak Warsaw Expo, there was something in the air beyond the scent of engine oil and rubber. It was the moment that dozens of companies, importers, and enthusiasts had worked toward all year – the grand Excellence Award medal ceremony, one of the most anticipated highlights of the entire show.

The awards went to those who are not afraid to set the direction. Those who come to Warsaw Moto Show not to display what’s in their catalogue – but to define what the industry will look like tomorrow.

Official Show Partner – For Loyalty and Passion

Before the laureates of premiere debuts took the stage, the organizers paid tribute to those who have been there from the very beginning. The title of Official Show Partner was awarded to Motocyklista.info – for standing alongside Warsaw Moto Show since day one. Loyalty, consistency, and a shared journey – values that in this industry are worth their weight in gold.

Premieres That Took Your Breath Away

The heartbeat of the ceremony was felt strongest in the Motorcycle Premiere category. On a single stage, in a single venue, the motorcycle world delivered exactly what fans seek all year long: genuine, fresh debuts straight from the exhibition floors.

Harley-Davidson Central Europe opened the showcase with the grandeur befitting a legend – a medal for the premiere of the CVO Street Glide ST.

V Cruiser celebrated something truly special: the premiere of the INDIAN Chief Vintage coincided with the brand’s 125th anniversary – a rare moment where history and the future share the same stage.

ALMOT received a medal for the JUNAK RX2 – the return of a domestic icon in a bold new form.

ROMET Motors added to that with the premiere of the K750 model – another Polish landmark moment, delivered with pride.

Motor-Land surprised enthusiasts of rarer marques by presenting the MORBIDELLI T502X – a machine that stopped even those who claimed they had “seen it all.”

Asian Automotive Distribution Center brought the KOVE 800 XGT Touring – a touring proposition that captured the attention of every long-distance riding enthusiast.

Grupa BMB P.S.A. showcased a fully equipped VOGE 800 RALLY with panniers – road-ready from the very first kilometre.

CF MOTO made a powerful statement with the impressive 1000 MTX – a machine that leaves no one indifferent who values performance and character.

PROBIKE Kawasaki Polska placed its bet on accessibility and versatility with the KLE500 – a proposition that speaks to a broad spectrum of riders.

Liberty Corporation demonstrated that the lightweight segment can make just as strong an impression – a medal for the YAMAHA WR 125R.

Scooter took home two medals, presenting the classic BSA Bantam 350 and the stylish Peugeot Django 125 Classic – proof that urban mobility can be every bit as exciting as off-road adventure.

MonsterBike – Suzuki returned to the stage with the SV-7GX – a machine that pairs a characterful V-twin engine with cutting-edge technology, and immediately won over the crowd.

The ceremony held one particularly special moment. MonsterBike – Suzuki received not one, but two awards – alongside the premiere medal for the SV-7GX, the organizers presented a special commendation marking the 40th anniversary of the GSX-R model. Four decades of a legendary sports machine – that deserves a standing ovation of its own.

Attractions That Leave a Lasting Impression

The Best Attraction medal is a category for those who understand that a trade show is not just about stands – it is an experience. This year, the jury recognized three entirely different visions of how to entertain and inspire.

1. Motorcycles Performance MAŁY HD – for delivering the Warsaw Custom Cup zone and motorcycle presentation.
2. PERUN ELECTRIC – for delivering the electric trial motorcycle demonstration zone.
3. pl – for delivering the Crazy Raiders zone.

Awards That Speak Louder Than Statistics

The People’s Choice Award is the voice of those for whom this show exists – the riders themselves. This year, they spoke with one voice: Moto SOS. An accolade that does not come from a jury – and that is precisely why it means the most.

The jury also recognized the best exhibition stand – the medal went to Taurus Sea Power, for a display that stood out among hundreds of others and commanded attention from the very first glance.

Half a Century on Two Wheels

The ceremony concluded with the moment that drew the loudest applause of the evening. A special jubilee diploma was presented to the NORNICA Motorcycle Club – on the occasion of its 50th anniversary. Half a century of passion, gatherings, road trips, and the spirit of motorcycle camaraderie. Half a century of history – still being written.
