Motorcycle Live 2026 And EICMA Preview

If you ride, November is the month you've been waiting for. EICMA lights up Milan with the year's biggest reveals. Days later, Motorcycle Live 2026 brings them to the NEC Birmingham, from Saturday 21st to Sunday 29th November. Every new motorcycle heading into 2027 gets its moment, across all the brands we represent. 

Here's what to look forward to, and why the NEC is the place to see it all up close.

What To Expect At EICMA 2026 

EICMA is the world's largest motorcycle show, and manufacturers use it to unveil their newest machines. For 2027, that means fresh models across the adventure, touring, naked, and electric categories. Many reach the public in Italy first, then travel to the UK only weeks later.

Motorcycle Live 2026 At The NEC 

Motorcycle Live 2026 is the UK's largest motorcycle show, and it runs for nine days at the NEC Birmingham. More than 50 manufacturers and over 250 exhibitors fill the halls with the latest bikes, kit, and technology. Most machines shown at EICMA make their UK public debut here, so this is your first chance to see them in the metal. New riders can also try the free Learn2Ride zone, which offers hands-on tuition with all the kit provided. 

New BMW Motorrad Motorcycles For 2027 

BMW Motorrad enters the season with plenty to show. The all-new F 450 GS brings genuine GS styling and technology to the accessible A2 class, which opens the range to newer riders. The wider 2027 line-up also gains fresh colours, revised equipment packages, and updated options across the touring and roadster models. 

Ducati Celebrates Its Centenary 

Ducati marks its 100th anniversary this year, and the celebration runs right through the show season. The Italian marque reveals its 2027 range through a series of World Première episodes in the weeks before EICMA. Look out for anniversary specials alongside the latest MonsterMultistrada, and Panigale machines on the stand. 

New Honda Motorcycles For 2027 

Honda arrives with one of its broadest line-ups in years. The new CB1000GT sport-tourer blends Fireblade-derived performance with long-distance comfort, while the WN7 becomes Honda's first full-sized electric motorcycle. The clutchless E-Clutch system also reaches more models, several of which suit A2 licence holders. Retro favourites such as the Monkey and Dax 125 round out the small-capacity range.
