The Collection
The 170 different marques that make up the 1000 plus British motorcycles in the museum collection are listed below. To get an overview of what you can expect to see in each of our five spectacular display halls click here to view our display halls page.
With our earliest pioneer machine dating from 1898 through to the latest British superbikes of this century the museum collection highlights both the development of the motorcycle as well as showcasing the UKs proud motorcycle manufacturing heritage.
From ABC to Zenith the collection has at least one example of the 170 marques in the inventory covering every period including the pioneer, veteran, vintage and post war eras. With larger manufactures such as BSA, Norton or Triumph there can be many dozens of machines of a particular make on display.
