Novegro’s autumn Mostra Scambio took place from 6 to 8 November 2026, running at the same time as EICMA and adding a different kind of motorcycle event to Milan’s busy November calendar. Its emphasis was not on new-model launches but on the exchange and sale of cars, motorcycles, bicycles and period spares. Around 1,000 exhibitors filled the indoor halls and the extensive outdoor area, creating a large marketplace for historic vehicles, components and related memorabilia.

An 80th-anniversary display for Vespa

A special exhibition marked 80 years of Vespa with a selection of historic models. The event’s central pavilion also hosted the Federazione Motociclistica Italiana. Examiners from the FMI’s Registro Storico were available to advise owners on applications for historic registration and on restoration procedures. That made the stand useful not only to visitors looking for parts, but also to those dealing with the documentation and preservation of an older machine.

The trading area covered original replacement parts, accessories, vintage objects and workshop manuals. Prices were generally reported to have eased, after the steep increases seen in earlier years. That shift is relevant to anyone searching for period equipment or a component for a restoration, although it did not apply uniformly across the wider classic-vehicle market: some youngtimer cars were still being offered at exceptionally high levels, with those values considered vulnerable to a future correction.

A strong destination for off-road motorcycles

Novegro’s other major strength is its concentration of off-road motorcycles and parts. The Mostra Scambio is described as arguably one of Europe’s most important meetings for this sector, bringing together a particularly broad supply of replacement parts—both older and newer—and complete motorcycles from different eras. For visitors, the appeal lies in the chance to hunt for a difficult component while also finding an entire machine, with the occasional bargain among the stalls.

Together, the Vespa anniversary display, the FMI’s historic-register advice and the specialist off-road offering gave the 2026 edition a broader identity than a conventional parts market. Its simultaneous timing with EICMA made Milan a particularly dense meeting point for both contemporary motorcycle culture and the preservation, restoration and trade of older two-wheelers.
