Welcome to Classic Bikes at The Classic Motor Show!
It doesn't matter which era of motorcycle you like to throw your leg over, Classic Bikes at The Classic Motor Show brings you the whole vintage and classic biking spectrum.
The bikes are the stars of the show and the displays boast, without question, some of the finest examples you will ever see. These superb machines deserve a showcase in surroundings befitting their quality and of course the time, money, love, blood, sweat and tears lavished upon them by their owners. They now have it, here in Classic Bikes at The Classic Motor Show.
For people passionate about bikes.
Incredible value! A ticket not only gets you into Classic Bikes, but also gets you into The Classic Motor Show (the UK's biggest and best classic car show) and MPH, the prestige and performance motor show. It really is a full and unique day out for the enthusiast. We look forward to welcoming you to the show(s)!
Classic Bikes inaugural year in 2008 was a huge success with well over 200 display bikes as well as trade stands and a bike jumble. Of course, that wasn't all! In addition to the accessory and parts dealers, the National Motorcycle Museum is brought along a few of its mightily desirable collection.
The Texas Cee-Gar, a Bonneville streamliner ridden by Johnny Allen on the Salt Flats to set a world motorcycle speed record of 214mph in 1956. Powered by a Triumph Thunderbird engine, was the inspiration for the iconic Triumph Bonneville model - and the NMM brought along a Bonnie from the bike's first year of production (1958) too.
Other Triumphs included a 1968 Triumph 350 Twin prototype, which was the great Edward Turner's last design and an early 1968 Triumph Trident. Also, whilst we're talking triples, the NMM loaned the Trident & Rocket 3 Owners' Club a one-off BSA Gold Star 3; this was a concept produced by US dealers based on what a Gold Star Rocket Three would look like, but it never made production; providing yet more food for thought about the British motorcycle industry.
Mention 'Gold Star' and you inevitably think cafe racer and the spiritual home of the ton-up boys, the Ace Cafe put on a strong display of alloy-embellished, clip-on packing lovelies. From Reg Allen's TriTon and the Rickman Metisse Cafe Racer to the Triumph T140 Flat Tracker - simply a stunning display! Then, bringing the Ace story up to date, Stonebridge Motor Company's fantastic 1650cc Ace-inspired Little Miss Dynamite wowed everyone who saw her.
