Motorcycle EXPO kick-starts the 2014 season on Sunday. The three-day trade show at Birmingham’s NEC will be visited on Monday by MotoGP star Scott Redding who will be interviewed on-stage by ex-racer Steve Parrish.
The weather looks set to be on the show’s side this year – heavy snow caused travel problems at the 2013 event. Ticket applications forced the organisers to bring in extra staff just to keep ahead of demand.
Packed halls await dealers visiting EXPO 2014, the biggest B2B motorcycle event in Europe and the only show where business can be done in a trade-only environment.
With more than 180 exhibitors occupying 10,000sq.m of hall space, this industry shop window features all the new ranges, brands, products, services and special show-only deals under one roof.
Show organiser Mark Mayo says EXPO will provide dealers with every opportunity to make the most of the new-found confidence and all-important consumer spend.
Gresini Honda rider Redding will mix with visitors and will attend the Alpinestars stand on Monday afternoon. Prior to that, on Sunday evening, he will present the trophies at the prestigious annual British Dealer News Awards ceremony. Bradley Smith, who had been due to open the show, has had to call off.
