PARTS AND ACCESSORIES

Over 70 bikes already entered in AMD World Championship
Custom builder community and
wider industry reaction to the
opportunities provided for
doing business at this year’s
AMD World Championship, the
flagship feature at INTERMOT
Customized in Hall 10 in
October, continues to be
overwhelmingly positive.
Indeed, with the number of
booths now being taken by
aftermarket vendors (and
additional custom program
booths by OE manufacturers,
including Harley-Davidson - see
page 14 of this edition of AMD
Magazine), overall reaction to
the concept that organizers
Koelnmesse are successfully
developing has been excellent.

Although reported to be only
worth some 1,000 or so units a
year, Indian Motorcycle last year
joined Harley (and a plethora of
other large displacement
manufacturers) in the rush for
market presence in the so far
largely low-cost, low cc powered
two-wheel market in the Indian
subcontinent. Parent company
Polaris already has manufacturing
joint ventures there, and Indian
has now opened a seventh
dealership in the architecturally
noted Le Corbusier planned postindependence metropolis of
Chandigarh in the Punjab.

As this edition went to press
there were already 54 builders
confirmed for the AMD World
Championship, coming to
Cologne, Germany, from 24
different countries (including as
far afield as the USA, Japan,
South Korea, Israel, Russia and
Ukraine); in total some 70 bikes
are entered into the five classes,
with six weeks still to go.
Set-up day for the event is

Monday October 3rd, with
Tuesday 4th as Press Day,
Wednesday 5th as International
Trade Visitor and VIP Visitor
Preview Day, with public
admittance from Thursday 6th
through to Sunday 9th. The
awards ceremony will be held at
4:00pm on Sunday 9th.
Hall 10 at INTERMOT is one of
the best attended halls, being
right alongside the two primary
visitor entrances – in 2014 over
200,000 people visited
INTERMOT in total, with the 11th
AMD World Championship being
won by Belgian Fred "Krugger"
Bertrand’s “Nurb’s” –
a futuristic 1650cc BMW.
