Motorcycle fans from across the UK will descend on Birmingham later this month as Royal Enfield brings its full 2025 lineup to one of the country’s most beloved biking events.

The National Motorcycle Museum LIVE 2025 will take place on the weekend of 25–26 October, offering thousands of riders and enthusiasts a chance to experience a blend of modern engineering and classic heritage in the heart of British motorcycling history.

Royal Enfield will headline this year’s event with live test rides, exclusive model previews, and access to some of the rarest bikes in the brand’s historic collection.

Attendance is expected to top 10,000 across the weekend.

Riders will be able to test Royal Enfield’s newest machines, including the recently launched Bear 650, Classic 650, and Himalayan 450 on a curated 40-minute route that showcases both urban and scenic terrain.

Test ride slots are free but limited, with early booking advised to avoid missing out.

Alongside the latest models, guests will be able to explore a curated selection of Royal Enfield classics housed within the museum’s collection of over 1,000 rare motorcycles.

Key Royal Enfield heritage models on display include the 1951 500 Twin, a 1924 Ladies Model 201A, and the 1950 350 Trials Bullet famously ridden by Johnny Brittain.

The 1903 Royal Enfield 277cc, one of the earliest surviving examples will also be on show.

The event runs from 8:30am to 5:30pm each day and offers free entry to all five museum halls.

Food, drink, and indoor facilities are available on-site, with secure helmet and jacket storage offered for £1.

Motorcycle parking is free.

Classic Bike Magazine’s Rick Parkington will host guided tours across both days, offering insight into the stories behind some of the most iconic British bikes.

Also returning for 2025 is the popular ‘Torque Zone’ stage, featuring talks and meet-and-greets with big names from the world of motorcycling, including Henry Cole, Jenny Tinmouth, Allen Millyard, and Rachael Clegg.

Special guests John McGuinness and Dean Harrison are also expected to appear.

New for this year is an indoor Auto Jumble, a treasure trove for vintage enthusiasts and collectors, offering rare parts, tools, memorabilia and more.

The National Motorcycle Museum, located near the NEC in Birmingham, remains a favourite destination for bikers across the Highlands and Islands travelling south for major events and this year’s showcase promises a full weekend of nostalgia, innovation, and road-ready excitement.
