The upcoming Bike Shed Moto Show in London promises to be an exciting event for motorcycle enthusiasts, as Harley-Davidson will unveil 'never before seen' racing motorcycles. The show takes place from May 22-24 and attendees can expect to see several iconic machines from across Harley-Davidson's competition history.
This move by Harley-Davidson is not surprising, given the company's efforts to grow its appeal with race fans in recent years. By introducing competitions such as the King of the Baggers series and the FIM-sanctioned Harley-Davidson Bagger World Cup, Harley-Davidson has been able to attract a new demographic.
The event will also feature 'Shed Talks' with notable riders and team owners, including Archie MacDonald, who became the first rider to win a Harley-Davidson Bagger World Cup race at COTA. These talks will provide insight into the world of professional motorcycle racing.
In addition to the racing motorcycles, attendees can expect to see several iconic machines from across Harley-Davidson's competition history on display. This will give fans a glimpse into the company's rich racing heritage and its commitment to the sport.
The Bike Shed Moto Show is the first major event that Harley-Davidson has planned across the UK and Ireland this year, following the European Spring Rally in Senigallia, Italy at the end of April. The rally marked the beginning of Harley-Davidson's wider events programme for 2026.
After the show, Harley-Davidson will take its events programme to Ireland as the BikeFest Killarney Festival rolls into town. This event celebrates 20 years since Ireland's BikeFest opened and promises to be an exciting experience for fans of motorcycle racing.
The company's focus on racing heritage is a strategic move to attract new customers who are drawn to the sport. By showcasing its iconic machines and competing in prestigious events, Harley-Davidson aims to establish itself as a leader in the world of motorcycle racing.
With its commitment to competitions and events, Harley-Davidson is poised to capitalize on the growing interest in motorcycle racing among enthusiasts. The company's efforts are likely to pay off, given the popularity of events like MotoAmerica and the FIM-sanctioned Harley-Davidson Bagger World Cup.
The unveiling of new racing motorcycles at the Bike Shed Moto Show marks an exciting chapter in Harley-Davidson's history. As the company continues to grow its appeal with race fans, it remains to be seen how these new machines will be received by enthusiasts and collectors alike.
