This year’s MP 25 Motorcycle Fair is turning up the energy, especially in the youth-focused MP Jonnela area. Packed with over 200 custom two-wheelers—double last year’s turnout—and a stunt track three times the size of its previous setup, the event promises an unforgettable mix of adrenaline and creativity. The fair isn’t just about entertainment; it also shines a light on youth well-being through initiatives like the “Kuule Mua!” project. MP 25 runs from January 31 to February 2, 2025, at the Helsinki Expo and Convention Centre.
MP Jonnela was introduced last year as a space where young motorheads could showcase their creativity and connect with like-minded enthusiasts. What started with about 100 custom bikes, scooters, and ATVs has now grown into its own dedicated hall with more than 200 entries. From personalized paint jobs to wild modifications, the variety and craftsmanship on display are next level.
“MP Jonnela is a space where young riders can come together, share their passion, and celebrate their hobby,” explains Niko Kantola from the Helsinki Expo and Convention Centre. “This year, we’re focusing not only on fun but also on fostering well-being among young visitors.”
Beyond the custom bikes, visitors can dive into the Petrol Circus Custom Bike Show, a spectacle of craftsmanship and innovation that draws attention from enthusiasts of all ages.
The Stunt Freaks Team is back and better than ever. Their stunt track has grown to three times its original size, giving them room to push the limits of what’s possible on two wheels. Expect the wildest tricks, flips, and stunts, with performances running all day.
“This event kicks off our season, and it’s where we pull out all the stops,” says Juha Ruokolainen from the Stunt Freaks Team. “Last year, we were riding mopeds while standing on them. With this expanded space, we’ve got even more room to blow minds.”
About ten stunt riders will hit the track, joined by the ever-popular wheelie simulator that lets visitors try their hand at riding like a pro. There’s also a chance to design your own bike decals and customize gear, thanks to onsite designers working in collaboration with SFT.
Youth well-being is a central theme at this year’s MP Jonnela. The “Kuule Mua!” (Hear Me!) initiative will take center stage, offering resources and support to young people navigating life’s challenges. At the Red Devil Stage, visitors can catch daily talks led by the project’s leaders, Henna Heikkilä and Teresa De Rita-Cavlek, and hear from ambassador Jarppi of the Dudesons on February 1.
In addition, a dedicated Kuule Mua! booth will provide a safe, welcoming space where young people can share their thoughts and get information on support networks. “We’re here to create real change, not just through talk, but through visible, actionable steps,” the project leaders emphasize.
The fair will also premiere the Suomi Tour video by the Mopoilevat Nuoret ry (Young Moped Riders Association), which captures the adventures of a group of young riders who embarked on a cross-country journey after their local moped workshop shut down. Their story is a testament to resilience, community, and the joy of the open road.
For the competitive spirits, the Throttle Challenge (Kaasuranne-kisa) will crown Finland’s top throttle-handler, with daily winners advancing to a grand finale on the Red Devil Stage. There’s also a lineup of interviews featuring industry figures like Juhis Racing and custom-building legend NeniTony, who’ll share insights and stories behind their craft.
The MP 25 Fair isn’t just about youth engagement—it’s the ultimate hub for all things motorcycling. Visitors can explore the latest models from brands like Honda, Yamaha, KTM, and Triumph, as well as cutting-edge electric bikes and gear. From motorsports and travel options to the Petrol Circus Custom Bike Show, there’s something for every kind of rider.
As Northern Europe’s largest motorcycle event, the MP Fair has become an annual highlight for Finnish riders and enthusiasts. This year’s event, running from January 31 to February 2 at the Helsinki Expo and Convention Centre, promises to deliver a mix of spectacle, community, and innovation like never before.
