AIMExpo moves to LA
Originally slated for February, the American International Motorcycle Expo (AIMExpo) will make its Southern California debut a month earlier than its usual calendar slot, on January 7-9, 2026.
The venue is the Anaheim Convention Centre, at Anaheim, 25 miles/40 km southeast of Los Angeles. Registration is already open. The date change has meant that AIMExpo now coincides with the opening round of the 2026 Supercross season.
AIMExpo is expanding its footprint to more than 293,000 square feet (27,200 sq m) to meet what Kernes said is "growing demand". As of June 2025, more than 175 exhibitors were already confirmed, including major OEMs such as Honda; Piaggio - including Aprilia, Vespa and Moto Guzzi; KTM, Husqvarna and GASGAS, Kawasaki, Kayo USA, Moto Morini, Suzuki, Triumph, and Yamaha.
Leading distributors are already slated to include Automatic Distributors, Parts Unlimited/Drag Specialties, and Turn 14 Powersports.
