Motorcycle Live is the UK’s largest bike show and first and foremost, that’s what visitors get to see. Every November, thousands of two-wheel fans and their families and friends make the winter-season pilgrimage to Motorcycle Live to see the next year’s new models in the UK for the first time.

This year will be no different, with more of the world’s leading motorcycle manufacturers signed up than ever before, each one showcasing the very latest machinery – from sports bikes and scooters to adventure models and off-roaders. For a full list of manufacturers exhibiting at the show clickhere.

In addition to the new bikes, visitors can also enjoy the more historical side of motorcycling with a visit to the Classic/Retro feature supported by the Coventry Transport Museum. The Classic section will be include a special display in honour of the World War I Centenary, featuring unique, mint-condition machines from the era. The Retro collection meanwhile will focus on old favourites and rare gems from the 1980s.

Shiny machinery doesn’t get more eye-catching than the weird and wonderful bikes on display at Custom Xtreme supported by Back Street Heroes.
