The London Motorcycle Show hosted 32,399 motorcycle fans, an increase on last year, at ExCeL London last weekend.
The event had a fresh look for 2023, welcoming Devitt Insurance as the title sponsor and introducing a new live-action show with the world’s first indoor supersprint.
The supersprint saw a range of machinery, including Barry Sheene’s World-Championship winning Suzuki, Peter Hickman’s 2023 British Superbike, Honda’s MotoGP-derived RC213V-S, the BMW F900 R Cup bikes and the Triumph Scrambler’s from the James Bond film ‘No Time To Die’.
BMW Motorrad UK National Marketing and PR Manager Scott Grimsdall said: “The London Motorcycle Show is always a great way to kick off the year, and particularly encouraging to talk to so many riders new to motorcycling. The new supersprint show added another level of excitement, particularly for some of our keen F 900 R Cup racers.”
The Manx Grand Prix started their centenary celebrations at the show. Alongside a collection of race machines, stars such as Lee Johnston, Dominic Herbertson, Stephen Smith, and McGuinness were in attendance. The show’s Adventure Zone stage hosted talks from the likes of Austin Vince, Elspeth Beard and Vanessa Ruck.
Roadskin Owner Nicky Wilson, who attended the event, said: “It’s been a phenomenal show for us, by far the best show we’ve ever had at the Excel. We’ve sold out completely of several Roadskin lines, which we didn’t anticipate, and we have been fully rushed off our feet all weekend.”
