The Pacelli Custom workshop from Caserta (Italy) wins the coveted Best in Show award with the elegant and aggressive Kilometro 32, while the H-D 883 Sportster Sterrato takes the prize for the best Offroad-style one-off
Italian Bike Week 2025 turned the spotlight on the beating heart of Custom and Off-road culture with a double event that captured the attention of bikers and enthusiasts in the Luna Park area. The traditional Custom Bike Show, round of the Italian Motorcycle Championship (IMC), proved once again to be a stage where creativity and craftsmanship gave life to unique creations.
The prestigious Best in Show award from the IMC went to the Italian workshop Pacelli Custom, that won over the jury with the Kilometro 32, an elegant and aggressive full custom built around a powerful American V-twin. Among the Scramblers, the queen was the Harley-Davidson 883 Sportster Sterrato by Santafox; in the Adventure category, the Yamaha XT600 by Fuchs Workshop excelled. The refined Yamaha 400 XS by VM Cycles won the Cafe Racer category, while the Yamaha FJ1200 by Punto Moto Factory Bike claimed first prize among the Streetfighters. The Old School philosophy was perfectly played out by Low Special Parts‘ H-D Shovelhead, while the prize for Modified H-Ds crossed Italian borders, going to the Street Bob from Austrian customizer Christian Novotny. There was also room for history: Modena Moto Meccanica‘s 1931 Harley-Davidson Knucklehead dominated the Freestyle category.
The Modena workshop also won a Special Prize with another Harley; the other two were awarded to Luca’s Carbon‘s H-D Low Rider ST and Cipri and Tony Selvaggi‘s Omer S. Among the Metrics, Andrea “Satana”‘s creativity stood out, evoking a 70s chopper on a classic 4-cylinder Honda Four 750.
The big news for the 2025 edition was the debut of the ARTigliate Custom Contest, the show that celebrated the growing popularity of Adventure, Scrambler, Tracker, and Classic Enduro specials. The first winner was Carlo “Santafox” Santamaria‘s H-D Sportster Sterrato, followed by Officine Boldi‘s BMW Boxer and GPM Motogarage‘s original Ducati Megaenduro 900. Massimo “Fuchs” Rinchiuso‘s Yamaha XT600 came in fourth, further proof of how the art of customization can reinvent any motorcycle genre. At its fourth edition, Italian Bike Week has confirmed itself not only as an unmissable event for motorcycle enthusiasts, but also as an authentic laboratory that redefines international motorcycle aesthetics and culture.
