Recreation park De Meent in Beusichem will again be the epicenter of Italian motor culture on Sunday 14 September. That day more than 3,000 visitors and enthusiasts are expected from brands such as Ducati, Moto Guzzi, Aprilia and other Italian icons during Ital Day 2025.
It is now an annual tradition: the Italdag in the picturesque Gelderland village of Beusichem, the largest Dutch event for lovers of Italian engines. Every year it attracts thousands of visitors from the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany. The event is organized by volunteers in collaboration with motorcycle clubs such as the Ducati Club Nederland and the Aprilia Riders Association.
“Italdag is the moment when enthusiasts meet, admire motorbikes and enjoy the unique Italian atmosphere together.” says Udo Kelderman, spokesperson for Italdag. “This year it promises to be extra special, with spectacular engines, the competition d’élégance, test drives on the latest models, an extensive range of stands and sponsors and a noise measurement for engines.”
Besides that there is everything to be seen and admired, there can also be trials on various engines, including the Aprilia Tuono 457, RS 660 Factory and Tuareg 660. The RS 457 can also be admired as stand display. These models are supplied by a collaboration between the Aprilia Riders Association and Piaggio Vespa BV
In addition, Ducati presents various new models for 2025, which can view and experience visitors up close during test drives.
In the middle of the field, the D’Elegance competition shines. Not only does the metal speak, but also the hands and hearts of their owners. Motors, worn by stories, step forward in the form of a stage with interviews with the special owners of special Italian engines.
The day program offers something for everyone:
• Concours d’élégance with the most beautiful Italian engines
• Podium conversations with enthusiasts and owners of Italian engines
• Test drives on the latest models
• Market square with exhibitors, accessories and club presentations
• Sound measurement for engines
• Italian food court with delicious dishes
The free motorcycle sound check is for motorcyclists who want to know if their motorcycle meets the noise requirements. Two measuring stations are available in Beusichem, reducing the capacity.
Italdag 2025 takes place on Sunday, September 14, 2025 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. in Recreatiepark De Meent, Classburgerstraat 5A in Beusichem. There is sufficient parking space.
