As we go to press, the NEC show in Birmingham is still in full swing – but it’s already time to think about the UK’s second big bike show – the Excel MCN London Motorcycle Show, sponsored by Devitt Insurance. The show takes place over St Valentine’s weekend (14-16 February) and includes more live-action events, new features, and the latest 2025 bikes from major manufacturers are part of a revamped package. New attractions include an indoor purpose-built flat-track circuit, where race stars like John McGuinness and Peter Hickman will compete.
At the other end of the action scale, TV stalwart Henry Cole and engineering partner Allen Millyard will be doing live bike fettling on stage, with GP personality Steve Parish also holding court. Charley Boorman’s Adventure Base Camp stage, sponsored by Oxford Products, returns and is set to entertain and inspire across the three-day event. Add in the MCN World of Bikes stage, featuring talks by Motor Cycle News journalists and other special guests, and loads of new bikes, kit and accessories, and it’s a solid day out in the capital.
