Kicking off the motorcycle season in Zurich, Switzerland is the four-day Swiss Performance show. This is an integrated show with a bike show associated with the World Championship, stunt shows with bikes and a small car, vendor booths, and this year an in-house bike build with the final product being auctioned off on the internet. The custom bikes shown here have become a popular attraction as well as the trade fair aspect, letting the public see what is new in accessories and clothing.

A few bikes that stood out this year were Energizer by Ronny Stocklin and the team at Mayhem Customs, Seppster III by TGS, Kosmo Drive by Garage 65, and Apocalyptica by Marcel Sinnwell. Energizer will be raced at the Bonneville Salt Flats this year after the World Championship Bike Show at Sturgis.
