Motorcycle Live 2013 attracted 106,000 bike fans, including Prince William, and organiser the MCI is claiming the nine-day biking bonanza at the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham was one of the best shows ever.
Although the attendance was down on 2012 (108,317), MCI Exhibitions says the 230-plus stand-holders declared themselves delighted with both the quality and quantity of visitors, a claim borne out in interviews with British Dealer News. Let us know what you think – vote in our poll on the left.
As well as a number of important new model launches, Motorcycle Live featured nine opportunities to ride motorcycles, eight of which were within the halls of the NEC. Along with the live features and entertainment, all these were free with the entry price.
The show received a royal boost on its penultimate day when HRH Prince William Duke of Cambridge visited several manufacturers’ stands to size up a few of the many new models for himself and to chat with visitors.
A full report and pictures will appear in the January issue of British Dealer News.
