The numbers reflect a substantial increase in commitment following last year’s recession-hit event which saw only 11 manufacturers attend – a situation that was also experienced at other European motorcycle exhibitions. Talking about the 2010 event, Managing Director of MCI Exhibitions, Finlay McAllan, commented: "Naturally we're delighted to announce the attendance of all major motorcycle brands. With all-four Japanese manufacturers confirmed, along with the major US and European marques, visitors will benefit from a bumper crop of 2011 models at this year's event, making it the must-visit attraction for any motorcycle fan."
It's not just new metal, however, that will be there in abundance, with a huge array of associated parts, clothing and accessory manufacturers signing up to attend the MCI's annual biking showcase, the organisers have quite clearly listened to what the visitors want when it comes to visiting a premier motorcycle event in the UK.
Motorcycle manufacturers confirmed include: Aprilia, Benelli, BMW, Cagiva, Daelim, Derbi, Ducati, Generic, Gilera, Harley-Davidson, Honda, Hyosung, Kawasaki, Keeway, KTM, Moto Guzzi, MV Augusta, Norton, PGO Scooters, Piaggio, Royal Enfield, Spyder, Star, Suzuki, Sym, Triumph, Vespa, Victory, Watsonian Squire and Yamaha.

The recently announced Carole Nash Motorcycle Live event has clearly captured the imagination of the world's biggest and best motorcycle manufacturers with the organisers announcing today that a record number of brands will be exhibiting this year. No fewer than 30 manufacturers have now confirmed to attend the all-new event running from 27th November to 5th December at Birmingham’s National Exhibition Centre. The event will see participation from all major motorcycle brands, including iconic British firms Norton and Triumph.
