History of the
National Motorcycle Museum
On 16th September 2003 , the museum suffered a devastating fire, resulting in damage to 75% of the structure and some 400 machines. Due to the determination of ownership, staff and contractors, the museum doors re-opened on 1 st December 2004 . Today the museum is home to more than 650 machines, with new acquisitions arriving daily. The conference and banqueting facilities have also been rebuilt with facilities second to none, all suites are lavishly appointed and offer state-of-the-art audio-visual equipment.
I am proud of our unique collection of British Motorcycles and hope that you will find much to interest you in your visit.
The motorcycle industry was until recently one of Britain ’s great engineering achievements and we have done our best to create a comprehensive collection of historic machines.
We are always changing our exhibits so hope to see you here at the museum in the near future.
