With two weeks to go until Motorcycle Live, in association with Bikesure Insurance, swings open its doors at the NEC, Birmingham, motorcycle enthusiasts across the UK are gearing up to enjoy the wonderful world of motorcycling under one roof.
Brand-new or classic or custom - there’s something for everyone!
It will be the first chance to see the latest launches from over 50 manufacturers, and for some models, it will be their debut in the UK after being freighted by brands straight across the channel from the overseas shows earlier in November.
This year, the Classic Feature supported by the National Motorcycle Museum, will be celebrating Triumph’s 120th birthday by showcasing a number of landmark models from the British brand’s history and restoring a 1923 Triumph Junior Lightweight “Baby” 2.5hp live on the stand. Visitors will also be able to check out the unique machines on the Custom Heroes stand, supported by Back Street Heroes and the Dream Garage will be home to 10 of the top picks from the 2022 Motorcycle Live celebrity and rider panel.
Get on two wheels for FREE
It doesn’t matter whether you have a licence or not, there are a whole host of ways to experience two wheels at the show - including on the road or on the dirt, petrol or electric power, and all of them are included in the price of the entry ticket!
Visitors who want to try out two wheels for the first time can head to TryRide, sponsored by MCN, those wanting to take to the dirt and try out the latest adventure bikes may want to make a beeline for Experience Adventure which is supported by six major manufacturers. Those wanting to head out on the open road should get their name down in the Test Ride Zone. There’s also the dedicated Electric Test Ride zone for visitors to try out electric power on the purpose-built track.
Driven to the show but still want to ride? No problem! Riding kit is kindly provided by Shoei, Sidi, Spada, RST and Bell, where required.
Live entertainment and chance to win prizes
The much-loved Blackhorse Stage will take its place at the heart of the show with a packed schedule of rider and celebrity interviews, fun and games. James Whitham will be back presenting ‘Whitham Talks’ every day over the course of the week, chatting with a variety of guests. Every day at 1pm, two teams of racing stars and celebrities will go head-to-head in ‘Visordown - Question of Bikes’, a Q&A game with multiple rounds and a lot of curveballs. Win prizes with ‘Bike Trac Stronger for Longer’, 'R&G Wheel Change Challenge', the ‘Visin Bike Balance’ and the brand new 'Gerbing' Beat the Buzzer game!
Fun for the whole family
The riding opportunities aren’t just for adults - mini-motorcycle fans as young as 18-months-old can get involved at the Kiddimoto Balance Bike Experience and those four years and older can enjoy the Arenacross Youth MX Experience.
Get organised for Christmas - or just treat yourself!
Whether visitors are preparing for the upcoming holiday, updating their kit for the new year or just looking to treat themselves, the retail area will offer plenty of choice of gifts for motorcycle fans.
Motorcycle Live 2022 in association with Bikesure Insurance takes place at The NEC, Birmingham from 19-27 November. See You There!
