Preparations continue for the flagship Motorcycle Live show at the NEC in November. The organiser, MCIA Events, has announced further details about what’s going on, and what the trade can expect.
There are 41 motorcycle manufacturers confirmed to be exhibiting so far, with more in the pipeline, and some of those are new to the UK market.
Trade Day has been confirmed for Monday, 17 November 2025, and will be sponsored by FUCHS Lubricants. Special discounted trade tickets are available for £5 each, with a maximum purchase limit of four tickets per eligible business. Trade visitors will also have access to the Exhibitor Lounge in Hall 2 on Trade Day, providing a quiet space for work, meetings, or relaxation. Dealers are encouraged to book their tickets early at www.motorcyclelive.co.uk/trade-day.
Highlights of the show will include a VE Day 80th Anniversary display in collaboration with the National Motorcycle Museum, and Bauer Media is working with the MCIA on a special 70th Anniversary stand for Motor Cycle News, with a load of milestone bikes on show as MCN marks seven decades of publishing.
There’s limited trade space remaining, and businesses which want to be part of the show, as an exhibitor or sponsor, and haven’t already registered interest, should contact Penny Kidson at [email protected].
