Visitors and Exhibitors Praise Best Ever London Motorcycle Show

The 2015 Carole Nash MCN London Motorcycle Show drew to a close today, marking the end of the best event in the show’s history. Thousands of motorcycle fans flocked to London’s ExCeL Centre to see the latest machines from the world’s top manufacturers, alongside not to be missed features such as a world exclusive collection of Valentino Rossi’s most famous race bikes and a line-up of two wheel stars.

Meeting his biking fans for the first time since being crowned Kind of the Jungle, ‘I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!’ winner Carl Fogarty officially opened the Show on Friday before meeting and greeting visitors throughout the day. Current British MotoGP hopeful Scott Redding was also in attendance on the opening day, flying back especially from testing his factory Honda in Malaysia.

New for 2015 was the action packed live-action show ‘SLIDE’ – in association with Michelin. Visitors were able to see Isle of Man TT legend John McGuinness and BSB stars James Whitham, Chris Walker and Taylor Mackenzie battle for victory as they locked handlebars…with predictable results!

Alongside Carl Fogarty and Scott Redding, race fans were treated to a world-exclusive collection of bikes from MotoGP legend Valentino Rossi, with the collection boasting an incredible nine of his former bikes. The British Superbike Championship was also back with a big presence, boasting a collection of their 2015 title contenders on the stand while the Tyco BMW squad of Michael Laverty, Tommy Bridewell and Alastair Seeley unveiled their 2015 colours to a packed audience. On Sunday, the ever-popular Peter Hickman also pulled the wraps off his RAF Reserves BMW Superbike he will be competing In. MCE British Superbike Championship Series Director Stuart Higgs commented: “It is fantastic to showcase MCE BSB in London, as we continue to bring the series closer to the fans and also reach out to a new audience. The Show has featured appearances by several of our 2015 contenders, headlined by our record-breaking Champion, Shane ‘Shakey’ Byrne. There have also been launches of the new Tyco BMW with Tommy Bridewell, Michael Laverty and Alastair Seeley plus the announcement of Peter Hickman becoming the 38th rider to join the grid with the RAF Reserves BMW team. The Show continues to grow in visitors each year and we continue to work closely with our media partner MCN to promote the championship ahead of what has is shaping up to be the most exciting season ever.”

Stuart Swaby, National Sales Manager for Yamaha Motor UK said, “It’s been incredibly busy and a fantastic platform for us to showcase our new models, with the new MT-09 Tracer and YZF-R1 very well received. We’ve had many strong leads to pass onto our dealer network and it’s a great kick-off for the selling season.”

Debbie Wiggins, Ducati Marketing Manager enthused “It’s been a great show with a high level of interest in our new models, especially the Scrambler range, MTS1200 and 1299 Panigale. Crucially, we also had many new young visitors seriously talking about buying which is extremely heartening.”

Rob Aherne, Managing Director of Motorcycling at Bauer Media summed up: ‘We are delighted that this year’s event has delivered a third straight year of growth, but more than that we feel that we have put on our best London show yet. ‘There was a real buzz about the place that reflects how vibrant the UK market is at the moment. It’s a big, big change from where the industry was at 18 months ago – I think we are all set for another great year.’

2015 also marks sixty years since the first ever edition of MCN and as a special birthday feature, they showcased some of the most influential bikes from the last sixty years.

Ducati, London Motorcycle Show, Shows and Events

London calling for Ducati at the MCN London Motorcycle Show

Londoners will get their first chance to see the new additions to the Ducati range at this month’s MCN Motorcycle show at Excel in the capital’s Docklands.

New for 2015 and fresh in the minds of many who visit the show will be the 1299 Panigale which has claimed some impressive reviews, with journalists extolling the virtues of the new Panigale; “one of the most exciting motorcycles I have even been fortunate enough to swing a leg over”, “It’s one of the most quick-steering motorcycles I’ve ever ridden,” “electronics that genuinely make you faster and the most user-friendly semi-active suspension system we’ve seen so far”.

This 205hp, 165kg Panigale is an impressive new member of the Ducati Superbike lineage featuring some of the latest electronics. The menu of features are extensive: New electronics kit with Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), riding modes (Race, Sport, Wet), Ducati Safety Pack (Cornering ABS, DTC) Ducati Wheelie Control, Engine Braking Control, Ducati Quick Shifter up/down, auxiliary buttons to adjust DTC, DWC, EBC*.  There is also an automatic calibration system of the tyre size and final drive ratio, semi active Öhlins Smart EC suspension and steering damper*, lightweight forged aluminium wheels*, full LED headlight*, DDA+ GPS compatible and TFT instrumentation with indicator of lean angle.

Also on the radar of many visitors will be the new Ducati Scrambler brand, already an incredible sales success despite only being in dealerships a few weeks. All four versions will be on display on a separate dedicated stand – Urban Enduro, Classic, Icon and Full Throttle.

The new Multistrada is another new addition to the 2015 range sharing many of the electronic features of the 1299 Panigale such as DTC, DWC, EBC, IMU and riding modes. It also boasts Sky Hook Suspension*, Ducati Cornering lights*, Bosch-Brembo Cornering braking system and the Ducati Multimedia System* that connects the bike to a smartphone for user-friendly control of basic functions such as receiving incoming calls, notification of text messages, or playing music via the handlebar controls and on-dash info.

Ducati’s technological expertise has also produced this new generation of Multistradas with the latest Ducati Testastretta DVT (Desmodromic Variable Timing) engine and a state-of-the-art technological package that sets a whole new standard in the segment.

The latest Monster range, only recently released last year, sees some new additions with the new stripe versions of the Monster 821 and Monster 1200 S. The stripe is characterised by a red colour scheme with a white double side-stripe on mudguard, tank and passenger seat cover. Both bikes have a red-painted nose fairing, while the Monster 821 Stripe is also equipped with adjustable forks and the Monster 1200 S Stripe with a Ducati Performance carbon undertail plate holder and belt covers.

For race fans there will be a race section featuring the Ducati British Superbike of the Lloyd British Moto Rapido team ridden by Jakub Smrz and an 899 Panigale which has been specially adapted by the True Heroes race team for double amputee Murray Hambro. Murray will form a three man team that will contest the Ducati TriOptions Cup for eight support rounds of the British Superbike Championship.

The Ducati stand will also feature the Ducati clothing from the latest 2015 collection.

KTM, London Motorcycle Show, Shows and Events

See and Feel the KTM 2015 Street Range at London Excel in February

KTM will be showcasing the full 2015 Street range at the MCN London Motorcycle Show at ExCeL, Docklands, on February 13-15, along with having exciting demonstrations of its electric Freeride machines.

The Austrian manufacturer has released 12 new street bikes to its range since 2011, beginning with the 125 Duke, and now boasts a 14-strong road line-up with an eclectic mix of machines in naked, supersport or travel enduro styles, from 125cc to 1301cc. Brand new for 2015 from Europe’s biggest motorcycle manufacturer is the headline-grabbing 1290 Super Adventure and 1050 Adventure.

The 1290 Super Adventure redefines the standard for luxury touring on a motorcycle. Boasting features including 160hp, 140Nm, semi-active suspension, cornering lights, cruise control, optional hill hold control, this bike embodies superlative technology in every respect as far as its power, comfort and equipment goes – but of course with an explicitly dynamic touch.

The KTM 1050 Adventure is for riders who demand a travel enduro that delivers pure riding enjoyment in comfort over long distances with a chassis that can exploit the twisty routes or simply out manoeuvre traffic when escaping. Employing neither excessive equipment or performance; the 1050’s V-twin engine still matches the 1190 Adventure for power and torque up to its 95hp and can be electronically mapped to be A2 licence compliant.

Launched in Autumn 2014, the supersport RC range is also making a big impression on the UK’s roads. With Grand Prix-inspired styling, high-level specification components and innovative features, the RC 125 is suitable for riders aged 17 and above and is currently available with a free PowerParts promotion, encompassing an Akrapovič exhaust (rrp £464.32) and Neon graphics kit (rrp £93.95).

With 44hp, the RC 390 is a perfect combination of power and performance in a lightweight chassis. Ideal for experienced riders or those with an A2 licence. This exciting bike is also the basis for the Santander Consumer Finance KTM British Junior Cup, held within the British Superbike Championship, for riders aged 13-18.

The Duke range is more versatile than ever, packing naked attitude and tarmac aggression behind the wide bars and punchy single-cylinder engines of the 125, 390, 690 and the track-inspired 690 R variants. The 1290 Super Duke R takes the Duke spirit to insane levels of performance and specification; boasting 180hp, 144 Nm of torque and sophisticated electronic aids to keep the rear tyre gripping and the front wheel on the floor – if you want to.

KTM has also steamrolled into electric propulsion in 2015 with its Freeride E range, including the off-road E-XC and E-SX that will be joined by the road-going and A1 licence-suitable E-SM supermoto. Racers Jamie Whitham and Taylor Mackenzie will be utilising the performance of the E-XC as part of the Dockland-based show’s live action entertainment.

The show opens on February 13 with advance tickets starting from £15. For more information visit www.mcnmotorcycleshow.com

Plus bikes such as the TL1000S that was built from new parts at Motorcycle Live and the V-Strom 1000 Bike Magazine rode back to the factory add plenty of reasons to come and see us at the show.”

Suzuki GB will be supported by popular local dealers Motoden, Laguna Motorcycles, and John’s of Romford for the duration of the show, which runs from Friday 13 – Sunday 15 February, 2015. Suzuki can be found on stand M50, next to the live action zone.

Classic MotorCycle Show, London Motorcycle Show, Shows and Events

Golden Days at Stafford Classic MotorCycle Show

A GOLDEN era of motorsport, and a fantastic weekend of motorcycling – that’s what visitors to one of the year’s best shows are set to enjoy later this month.

The 34th Carole Nash Classic MotorCycle Show takes place on the weekend of April 26-27 at Staffordshire County Showground, and racing legend John Surtees will be there as guest of honour five decades after becoming the first man to win world championships on two and four wheels following his fantastic tussle with Graham Hill for the 1964 F1 title.

Surtees will take along his Ferrari 158 car, plus his championship winning MV Agusta and Norton F Model, while there will be more fantastic machinery to see, including a Moto Major – an Italian made motorcycle never before seen in the UK.

The Bonhams auction is always a highlight of ‘Spring Stafford’ and this time includes a 1939 Brough Superior SS100 motorcycle once owned by the designer himself. First registered on May 24, 1939 by George Brough, the SS100 was put through its paces taking part in the London to Edinburgh endurance run two days later.

The current owner’s father has stored the motorcycle since 1967, using it sporadically since then, and it has been maintained to a high standard. The Brough Superior has an estimated sale value of £140,000-180,000.

Among the other treasures up for auction over the weekend are a 1975 Bimota 970cc HB1 and a 1929 Scott 596cc racing motorcycle.

The two day event will have something for everyone with an interest in motorcycles, including some superb private entry and classic club bikes, along with hundreds of trade stands, an extensive autojumble, The National Motorcycle Museum plus live entertainment in the form of the Wall of Death, Classic Racer Grand Prix Paddock and Classic Dirt Bike Experience.

But for many, it’s the appearance of Surtees which takes it into the premier league of events, especially as he celebrates two landmarks this year – the golden anniversary of his F1 title, and his own 80th birthday.

He’ll be sharing stories from his fantastic career on and off the track, and also promoting a new photographic memoir which will be launched in June – the proceeds of which will go to the Henry Surtees Foundation.

Show organiser Nick Mowbray said: “John Surtees is a hero of so many classic and modern motorcycle enthusiasts; what he achieved is truly remarkable. He is a star name… and not just in motorsport.

“No other man will ever repeat what he has, and this will be a fantastic chance to come and see John in the flesh.”

Advance tickets for the 34th Carole Nash International Classic MotorCycle Show can still be bought from www.classicbikeshows.com or over the phone by calling 01507 529529 – with an advance one day adult ticket costing £10, a £3 saving on the gate price.

The show is open from 9am – 6pm on Saturday and 9am – 5pm on Sunday. Parking is free.

MCN London Motorcycle Show enjoys largest ever attendance

Following a record number of visitors in 2013, last weekend saw the Carole Nash MCN London Motorcycle Show return to London’s ExCeL centre for the biggest Show to date. A bumper crowd of 36,783 people stepped through the doors over the three-day event, meaning an increase on last year despite some of the worst storms in recent years battering the Capital.

Ignoring transport woes being caused by the weather chaos, thousands of bike fans still flocked to the event at London’s ExCeL centre, with motorcyclists taking full advantage of the free bike parking – extra areas were opened on Sunday to accommodate for riders finally enjoying some sunshine.

Other highlights of the show included an emotional Carl Fogarty being reunited with his four World Superbike title winning Ducati’s, appearances from MotoGP stars Cal Crutchlow and Bradley Smith, MCE British Superbike team announcements, the inaugural London Custom Bike Championship and a world exclusive tribute to Mike Hailwood. The Hailwood exhibit featured many of Mike ‘the bike’s personal treasures including helmets, clothing, trophies, motorcycles and even a Ford GT40 sportscar.

The ‘Revolution’ show proved a huge hit with fans and attracted packed crowds to the middle of the arena to watch TT stars John McGuinness and Michael Dunlop go head-to-head for the first time this year. Both riders were joined by fellow road racing stars Ian Hutchinson, James Whitham, Michael Rutter and Phillip McCallen, who battled through the pain of cracked ribs to complete all three days.

The diverse range of the latest 2014 bikes on offer from some of the world’s leading motorcycle manufacturers saw a positive response from visitors, as they got up close and personal with these exotic machines. Adam Kelley, General Manager, Sales and Marketing of Yamaha UK, said, “Once again the MCN London Motorcycle Show provided us with the perfect platform to showcase our full two wheeled line up and launch our MiYamaha PCP finance campaign. We also capitalised on the European Press Embargo of one of our key and exciting updated models – the ‘All New YZF-R125′, unveiling it on the opening day.

With a number of new models added to our line up this year including the MT-07, MT-09 and SR400 amongst others, we were particularly pleased with the level of interest we had throughout the show from both existing and non-Yamaha customers.”

Andy Calton, Editor of Motorcycle News added, “This year’s show was another fantastic event and to see an increase in total attendance once again is extremely encouraging. The feedback we’ve received already from fans, manufacturers and retailers has been really positive and is hopefully a further sign that the industry is beginning to turn. 

With iconic machines, latest models from some of the biggest names in the industry, racing superstars and of course the ever-popular Revolution show this was the biggest MCN London Motorcycle Show to date and we look forward to coming back even bigger and better next year!”

Ducati star at MCN London Motorcycle Show

This year’s MCN London Motorcycle Show certainly had a Ducati theme with three former Ducati World Superbike Champions, four World Championship winning Ducati’s and one current Moto GP Factory rider attending.

Four times World Superbike Champion Carl Fogarty kicked off proceedings on Friday morning with ‘Foggy Friday’ a tribute to the most successful World Superbike rider in history. An emotional Fogarty was reunited with his quartet of title winning Ducati’s in front of a packed audience. The Four Championship winning bikes from ’94′, ’95′, ’98 ‘and ’99′ had been shipped over from the Ducati museum in Bologna for this historic reunion with ‘King’ Carl.

Another historic bike that had made its way from the Ducati Museum was Mike Hailwood’s 1978 TT winning bike that was part of a display of Hailwood memorabilia.

BT Sport used the London Motorcycle show to publicly announce their commentary line-up for the 2014 Moto GP season which included former Ducati Word Superbike Champions Neil Hodgson and James Toseland as well as former Olympic Athlete and Ducati rider Iwan Thomas. They were joined by the new Ducati factory rider and MotoGP ambassador Cal Crutchlow who took time to visit the Ducati UK stand, sign autographs and chat with fans.

One of many Ducati fans to visit the stand was the acclaimed celebrity baker, Paul Hollywood. Paul who owns an 1199 Panigale tried a number of bikes for size including the Streetfighter 848 and the 1199 R Panigale. Paul also took time to see the Ducati display of World Superbike Championship winning bikes.

The Ducati UK stand would not have been complete without some race bikes on display. The centre piece of the stand included a race prepared 899 Panigale which will compete in the Ducati TriOptions Cup and an 1199 Panigale which is the Ducati Coventry entry into the British Superbike Championship.

Although racing is the lifeblood of Ducati, it was the company’s stunning range of bikes that the visitors came to see. The highlights of the 2014 range are without doubt the 899 Panigale which has received rave reviews since its launch towards the end of 2013 and the Monster 1200 which has yet to hit the market place. The Monster 1200 had been tested by the international press the previous weekend to the show and is also receiving extremely favourable reviews.

Elsewhere at the show, the California Superbike School displayed for the first time with Ducati as a partner. The highly regarded cornering school has entered into a new agreement with the brand and will be using a selection of 899 Panigale, 1199 Panigale and Monster 1200’s.

Poor weather fails to stop thousands of bikers from enjoying the biggest MCN London Motorcycle Show to date

The Carole Nash MCN London Motorcycle Show drew to a close today, following a spectacular weekend of action that saw thousands of fans flock through the doors to witness the best Show to date, despite London suffering from extreme weather. BBC Top Gear’s James May was an interested visitor spending time with his own machines in the Classic Zone, sitting on Mike Hailwood’s 500/4 and purchasing some Show biking goodies. 

Four time World Superbike Champion Carl Fogarty kicked off proceedings on Friday morning with an emotional reunion with his quartet of title winning Ducati’s in front of a packed audience. MCN then surprised the British hero with a replica of his 1995 ‘Man of the Year’ trophy after he lost the original in the late 1990’s.

Sunday also saw Tai Woffinden, the UK’s World Speedway Champion crowned this year’s ‘MCN Man of the Year’. Having achieved over twice the number of votes to his fellow competitors, which included the likes of Tom Sykes and Sam Lowes, ‘Woffy’ becomes the first speedway winner in the 56-year history of the prestigious award.

Race fans were well catered for throughout the weekend as alongside the BTSport MotoGP announcement revealing their commentary team, Cal Crutchlow and Bradley Smith flew straight in from testing in Sepang to meet and greet fans. The show also played host to a number of British Superbike announcements, as three time Champion Shane Byrne took the wraps of his 2014 Rapid Solicitors Kawasaki, Simon Andrews announced he was returning to the premier class with the RAF Reserves Honda team while Lee Costello and Harry Hartley will be taking to the grid with the Halsall Racing Kawasaki team. Fans arriving Sunday were treated to a special chat show with some of the stars of this year’s exciting championship.

The Show also featured a world exclusive Mike ‘the bike’ Hailwood tribute, displaying his many different race bikes, winning trophies, clothing, and the Ford GT40 sports car he raced. There was also a unique chance for fans to hear his incredible Honda 500/4 start-up.

Elsewhere, the world’s leading manufacturers including BMW, Ducati, Harley-Davidson, Honda, Indian, Kawasaki, KTM, Royal Enfield, Triumph, Victory and Yamaha showcased their latest 2014 model ranges, allowing fans to get up close and personal with these exotic machines. Nathan Baines, UK Marketing Coordinator at Triumph Motorcycles UK commented, “It’s been an exceptionally positive show for us with plenty of customer leads and interest in our brand, particularly in the Thunderbird Commander and LT models. We’ve had five dealers from the London area who have all enjoyed talking to current and hopefully future customers. It’s been noticeably busy throughout the show and we were pleasantly surprised to see so many people struggle through the horrendous weather on Saturday!”

The inaugural London Custom Bike Championship, which featured an incredible 50 motorcycles competing for the prize purse of £10,000, came to a conclusion on Sunday afternoon with Destiny Cycles entry Carousel being crowned ‘Best of Show’.

The Adventure Zone proved popular throughout the weekend as Nick Saunders, Simon Pavey, Austin Vince, Charley Boorman, Graham Hoskins and Steph Jeavons kept fans entertained with on-stage interviews and chats.

The Revolution live action show proved extremely popular as thousands of fans packed the edge of the arena to witness TT Legend John McGuinness and his team mates Ian Hutchinson and James Whitham battle it out with the opposing team, captained by BMW new-boy Michael Dunlop and team mates Michael Rutter and Phillip McCallen.

Ducati, London Motorcycle Show, Shows and Events

Carl Fogarty’s World Championship winning bikes on display together in the UK for the first time

Carl Fogarty will be reunited with all his World Superbike championship winning bikes at the Carol Nash MCN London Motorcycle Show to be held from February 14-16.

It will be the first time that all four of Fogarty’s bikes will have been displayed together in the UK. These bikes have been brought over from the Ducati museum in Bologna for the show which will be celebrating the 20th anniversary of Fogarty’s first championship. ‘Foggy Friday’ is being dedicated to the four times World Champion.

It is also the 20th anniversary of the launch of the legendary 916 and visitors to the show will be able to see the first 916 race bike that took the Englishman to the first of his four championships. The 1995, 1998 and 1999 bikes complete a unique line up that is not to be missed.

In addition to the Foggy bikes arriving from the Ducati museum, is the 1978 Hailwood TT winning bike which will feature as part of a tribute to one of Britain’s greatest riders.

Together with these historic bikes Ducati UK will be bringing their 2014 Model range to London incorporating some of the most anticipated models of the New Year. The 899 Panigale and Monster 1200 are the newest additions to the range spearheading a strong line-up.

The 899 Panigale provides a more accessible entry into the world of Ducati Superbikes with this “Supermid” version. The 148hp superquadro powered 899 with a torque of 73lb-ft (10.1kgm) achieves both an outstanding power-to-weight ratio and ride-enhancing agility with a dry weight of 169kg* (372.5lb*). The 899 Panigale joins the 1199, 1199 S and 1199 Panigale R to complete the Superbike family.

The 899 Panigale has grabbed most of the headlines and sales since its launch last October, but the limelight will soon switch to the new Monster 1200 which will have its international press test just prior to the MCN show.

More than two decades on from the Monster’s first unveiling, Ducati now introduce the iconic model’s latest generation with the 2014 Monster 1200 and 1200 S. Powered by the formidable, Superbike-derived 1198 Testastretta 11° DS engine with an enhanced set-up for mid-range power delivery and rideability, the brand new flagship of the family presents an entirely new chassis and muscular design fully integrated with Ducati’s latest technologies. High-spec brakes, suspension, single-sided swingarm and lightweight wheels combine with Ducati’s best-yet ergonomics to offer the Italian manufacturer’s most attractive Monster ever. Super comfortable and introducing an innovative adjustable seat height, the model also combines 8-level traction control, 3-level ABS and 3-level Ride-by-Wire into Ducati’s user-friendly, press-button Riding Modes.

The 2014 Monster 1200 also boasts an exclusive S model with 145hp and a ride-enhancing 92ft-lb of high-accelerating torque, wrapped beautifully in a spec-impressive chassis that tips the scales at 182kg (401lb) dry weight. The entry level Monster 696 with a low seat version to try and the 796 model concludes the Monster family.

The top selling Multistrada 1200 that has become the benchmark for sport orientated touring bikes and 2014 sees the top of the range Granturismo sporting a new red livery to complement the rest of the Multistrada line-up. The new generation Hypermotard range will also be exhibited including the touring inspired Hyperstrada and the extreme Hypermotard SP. The Diavel is not to be missed, a bike with a 162hp of adrenaline rush sure to give anyone a smile as wide as its rear tyre and the Streetfighter offers pure motorcycling thrills through superb handling and easy to manage power delivery from the Testastretta 11° engine.

To add to this exciting collection of new models there will also be a selection of bikes on display enhanced with an array of accessories from the Ducati Performance catalogue and the latest range of Ducati apparel. There will be an opportunity to purchase the brand new Ducati clothing from the Ducati shop located on the stand. Sheffield Motorcycle Centre will be manning the shop that will include amongst other things the exclusive Metropolitan range, the ever popular Ducati Corse collection, cool ‘graphic’ t-shirts, kid’s clothing, riding gear and various gift merchandise such as watches, mugs, pens and other Ducati collectables.

Ducati UK staff will be on hand to deal with technical and sales enquiries as well as Ducati finance experts to guide visitors through their Ducati TriOptions finance offers.
