The 2019 Carole Nash MCN London Motorcycle Show “bucked industry trends of declining crowds” to welcome 40,411 visitors – a marginal increase over 2018 which had attracted “over 40,000”. With 19 manufacturers displaying the latest models, free live action racing, exotic customs and rare classic machines, the capital once again played host to a celebration of all things motorcycling suitable for the whole family.
Visitors were able to try for size the latest 2019 machines from the likes of AJS, BMW, CCM, Ducati, Ducati Scrambler, Energica, Herald, Honda, Indian, Kawasaki, KTM, Lexmoto, MV Agusta, Norton, Suzuki, Triumph, UM, Yamaha and Zero. Alongside the modern machinery, the Bonhams Classic Zone played host to a spectacular collection of rare machines, many of which were also up for grabs.
Saturday afternoon saw Peter Hickman announced as the MCN Racer of the Year, with the Isle of Man TT and British Superbike star receiving the famous trophy in front of the Thunderdrome crowd.
The show floor was reported to be packed with an excellent array of the biggest brands, exhibitors, traders and dealers offering a huge range of kit accessories and products. Visitors were able to get the best advice, try out kit for size and even buy a bike.
Rebecca Donohue, head of marketing at Carole Nash, said: “The 2019 Carole Nash MCN London Motorcycle Show felt busier than ever and is always a great opportunity for the team at Carole Nash to meet both existing customers and possible new policyholders.”
Next year’s show will be held between 14–16 February.
