NMM Live featuring The Motorbike Show, John McGuinness and more
The 2025 National Motorcycle Museum Live event returns this October with a star-studded line-up, test ride opportunities, a drag bike start-up from Steve Parrish, and more.
The Motorbike Show’s Henry Cole, road racing legend John McGuinness and the Isle of Man TT’s fastest ever women, Jenny Tinmouth, are some of the headline names set to appear at the 2025 National Motorcycle Museum Live, in Solihull, this October.
It’s not just the headline names that could make the 2025 Museum Live show the best one to date, however, as various test ride opportunities are also going to be available.
The event takes place on Saturday 26 and Sunday 27 of October, with tickets available for just £3.
The Motorbike Show’s Henry Cole, Allen Millyard and Guy ‘Skid’ Willison will be revealing behind the scenes stories from their TV series. They will also be conducting live start-ups of bikes that have featured in the show, including the rebuilt Norton Nemesis.
Cole and his team are not the only ones that will take part in live start-ups at the event, as former GP racer and TV pundit Steve Parrish will be performing a drag bike fire-up in the Museum’s fountain courtyard.
Parrish, a one-time podium finisher in the 500cc world championship, is one of many who will bring racing pedigree to the 2025 Museum Live.
McGuinness, together with fellow Honda Racing UK rider and double 2025 TT winner in the Superstock class, Dean Harrison, will also appear live on stage alongside Cole and others. Both racers will get the chance to fire up their race bikes at the end of the show.
While a wide range of motorcycles will be available for attendees to see on stage, there will also be the chance to ride BSA’s new Bantam 350 and Scrambler 650 bikes. Royal Enfield’s latest modern classics will also be available to throw a leg over.

A raffle will be held on the Sunday, with the top prize being a limited edition 1981 Triumph Bonneville Royal Wedding 750cc. Considered a true collector’s dream, the bike available is one of just 125 that were ever produced.
