Aspiring motorbike riders can expect to see some of the legends of the race track in February after two more big names were confirmed for the line-up of the 2024 Devitt Insurance MCN London Motorcycle Show at the Excel Centre.

Motorcycle News (MCN) reported that its Rider of the Year, Peter Hickman, is the latest star to be confirmed for the event. The 13-time TT winner will join fellow legend of the Isle of Man races John McGuinness at the show, alongside several other stars.

These include Eurosport commentator and two-time British Superbike champion James Whitham, adventurer Charlie Boorman, TV personality Henry Cole and engineer Allen Millyard.

While these special guests will be a key part of the show, those planning to start their own journey in the saddle by taking motorcycling lessons may be just as interested in the various new models on show, not to mention a wide array of accessories to check out and maybe even buy to wear once you have your own bike.

MCN Noted that while people have to pay to park cars at the show and there are limited spaces, those arriving on two wheels can do so for free, which is another reason for people to qualify as a motorcyclist.

The show takes place from February 16th to 18th and while it is one of the biggest annual events on the motorcycle enthusiasts’ calendar and arguably the most important in London, there are more to enjoy around the UK over the course of the year.

Indeed, last month saw Motorcycle Live taking place at the NEC near Birmingham with 90,000 in attendance, and the first details of next year’s show at the same venue have just been revealed.

The show will take place from November 16th-24th 2024 and organisers have promised it will be “even bigger and better”.
