Motorcycle Live has unveiled an exciting new attraction for this year’s show, with the launch of its inaugural Show & Shine competition, sponsored by Bikesure. The new feature will give motorcycle enthusiasts the chance to have their pride and joy displayed at the NEC in Birmingham when Motorcycle Live returns this November. Organisers are searching for what they believe are the 10 best motorcycles in the UK, with the successful entries taking pride of place in Hall 4 throughout the nine-day event. Riders are invited to submit photographs of their bikes along with the story behind them. After a shortlist is created, the final ten will be chosen by a public vote.
As well as seeing their motorcycles showcased in front of almost 100,000 visitors, the successful entrants will each receive tickets to Motorcycle Live 2026. The competition doesn’t end there. Throughout the show, visitors will be invited to vote for their favourite machine, with the overall winner receiving the inaugural Motorcycle Live Best in Show Trophy. The new Show & Shine display promises to celebrate everything from immaculate restorations and stunning customs to rare classics and beautifully maintained modern machines, giving visitors another reason to spend time exploring Hall 4.
Motorcycle Live returns to the National Exhibition Centre (NEC) in Birmingham this November, bringing together the latest motorcycles, riding gear, accessories and technology from the world’s leading manufacturers. Alongside the extensive exhibition, visitors can enjoy free riding experiences, live entertainment, rider interviews and adrenaline-fuelled demonstrations, making it one of the highlights of the motorcycling calendar. Entries for the Show & Shine competition are now open, while tickets for Motorcycle Live 2026 are already on sale.
