Motorcycle Live Preview 2025 | What bikes do I want to see? 

I check out the bikes I most want to see at MCL2025

DATE: 12/11/2025

Motorcycle Live is back at the NEC from 15th–23rd November, and it’s one of the UK’s biggest celebrations of biking. You’ll find everything there — new bikes, accessories, clothing, tech, and all sorts of kit. I’ll be heading down on Sunday the 17th, camera in hand, to see what’s new and catch up on what’s coming for next year.

You can check out my full video preview here Motorcycle Live 2025 Preview | The bikes I want to see 

You can still buy tickets right up until the 14th November 

Here are the bikes I’m most looking forward to checking out:

Vogé D800 SX Rally

A proper all-rounder that’s getting a lot of attention. It’s a mid-range adventure bike that can handle both off-road trails and touring. As a V-Strom 1050DE rider, I love that kind of versatility — and the lighter weight really appeals.

The New Norton Range

Norton’s been through a lot, but their latest lineup looks interesting. Most models have a 1200cc V4, while the adventure bike runs a 500cc twin. They might not be groundbreaking, but I’m keen to see how the new Norton era looks up close.

Triumph 800 Trident

This one caught my eye online — sleek, powerful, and practical. Around 110bhp and 84Nm of torque make it a solid mid-range naked. My wife rides a Yamaha MT-07, and this looks like the perfect step up from that.

Honda V3R900

Now this is exciting. A V3 engine with an electronic compressor aiming for the punch of a 1200. Add in a single-sided swingarm and sharp styling, and it sounds like a proper bit of innovation from Honda.

Kawasaki KLE 500

Kawasaki’s bringing back the KLE name for 2026 — a 500cc parallel twin adventure bike that should be lighter and more manageable than older versions. Definitely one I’ll be checking out, as lighter adventure bikes always catch my interest.

Suzuki SV700GX

Suzuki’s revamping the classic SV650 into the new 700GX. It’s a bit of an odd-looking one with right-way-up forks, but I’m curious to see how it feels in person. The SV’s a legend, so it’s a big deal to see what replaces it.

Benda Moto LFC 700

A wild card! The name alone makes me smile, but it’s actually an inline-four cruiser that’s surprisingly well-reviewed and affordable. I just need to see what it looks like in the flesh.

Langen LightSpeed

A beautiful British-built bike that’s pure craftsmanship. It’s way out of my price range, but it’s one of those machines you have to stop and admire.

So that’s my hit list for Motorcycle Live 2025. I’ll be there on Sunday the 17th with @TwinkleMoto, filming, chatting, and checking out all the new metal.

If you’re going, come say hi — I’ll be wearing a TOMSTC t-shirt. And if you can’t make it, subscribe to TOMSTC on YouTube for all the highlights from the show.
