The British Motorcyclists Federation (BMF) has welcomed the latest figures released by the Motorcycle Industry Association (MCIA), which show continued growth in new motorcycle registrations during June 2026 and provide further evidence that motorcycling remains an increasingly attractive transport and leisure choice for people across the UK. According to the latest MCIA data, the overall L-Category market grew by 13% in June compared with the same month last year, with year-to-date registrations now standing 15.2% ahead of 2025. Motorcycle registrations increased by an impressive 14.5%, while scooter registrations also recorded healthy growth of 6.8%. These figures are particularly encouraging following what was, for many manufacturers and dealers, a relatively flat and cautious market throughout much of 2025. Despite ongoing economic pressures and

The British Motorcyclists Federation (BMF) was pleased to attend this year's 1000 Bike Revival at Mallory Park Race Circuit, organised by Live Promotions as part of the circuit's 70th anniversary celebrations. With the BMF National Office based at Mallory Park, the event provided another excellent opportunity for the Federation to engage with riders, members and the wider motorcycling community during a warm and dry summer weekend. Throughout the event, the BMF stand welcomed a steady flow of visitors, giving the team the chance to talk about the Federation, answer questions about membership, discuss current motorcycling issues and showcase the work the BMF continues to undertake on behalf of riders across the UK. Visitors also took the opportunity to purchase BMF merchandise, make

Earlier today, (July 7th 2026) Anna Zee, BMF Political and Technical Services Director and Paul Morgan CBE, BMF’s Government Relations Director, attended a high-level reception and launch event organised by Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM) and the Auto Cycle Union (ACU). The event was hosted by John Slinger MP at the House of Commons to mark the return to the UK in September 2027 of the FIM International Six Days Enduro of Nations (ISDE). The ISDE is being held in the UK for the first time in over 40 years and marks the 101st edition of one of the most historic and prestigious competitions in global motorsport. Around 500 riders from over 30 countries will compete across Men's, Women's, and Junior national

The BMF is working with key partners within the Motorcycle Focus Group to make your Ride safer Every summer, thousands of motorcyclists head to Scotland to experience some of the finest riding roads anywhere in Europe. From the sweeping bends of the Borders to the spectacular scenery of the Highlands and the islands, Scotland offers unforgettable and often breathtaking motorcycling. But those roads also present unique challenges for motorcyclists, who unfortunately account for roughly 18% of Scottish road fatalities while making up less than 1% of all traffic. Rural routes, especially in regions popular for touring like the Highlands, feature heavily in accident statistics, with almost 50% of serious accidents happening on roads with speed limits over 40 mph. Many of our

Four days. Blazing sunshine. Thousands of motorcycles. Hundreds of exhibitors. Countless conversations. One memorable debut for the British Motorcyclists Federation. The British Motorcyclists Federation made its debut as an exhibitor at ABR Festival 2026, spending four days meeting riders, supporting affiliated clubs, championing motorcycling and showcasing the work the Federation carries out on behalf of motorcyclists across the UK. While ABR Festival has become a firm favourite in the motorcycling calendar, 2026 marked an exciting milestone for the BMF as we made our first appearance as an exhibitor at the event. From arriving on Wednesday to begin setting up through to the close of the festival on Sunday afternoon, the BMF team embraced every opportunity to meet riders, reconnect with members, strengthen relationships

Ducati Dragons Continue to Grow as Official Ducati Club and BMF Affiliated Group The motorcycle community has always been built around friendship, passion and bringing like-minded riders together, and one group proving exactly that is the ever-growing Ducati Dragons. Now firmly established as both a British Motorcyclists Federation affiliated club and now a Ducati Official Club (DOC), the ever-growing women’s riding community continues to make a major impact within the biking world while preparing to celebrate Ducati’s upcoming centenary year in 2026. Founded in 2021 by Gillian Riddell with co-organiser Andrea Marshall and now supported by Ducati Stoke, the Ducati Dragons were created to provide a welcoming and supportive safe space where female Ducati riders could share experiences, build confidence and enjoy motorcycling

Keep it Legal: Ride Right Campaign Launches Today (22 June 2026) to Protect the Future of Legal on and off-road Motorcycling In recent years, a visible minority of irresponsible and anti-social riders have unfortunately been putting the future of active outdoor motorcycling under threat by riding illegally — on footpaths, bridleways, private and common land, and other places where no motor vehicle rights exist. This has involved both motorcycles and illegal high powered eBikes, with their riders tyrannising local communities and damaging the reputation and freedoms of the responsible majority of motorcyclists. The Ride Right campaign, spearheaded by the Trail Riders Federation (TRF) and the Auto-Cycle Union (ACU), and supported by key motorcycling bodies such as the National Motorcyclists Council (NMC) and

We all know the importance of carrying out pre-ride checks on our motorcycles, but when was the last time you carried out a check on yourself? This Men's Health Week, June 15 - 21, we're encouraging riders to take a few moments to think about their own health and wellbeing. Whether it's booking that health check, talking to someone, getting more active, or simply taking time to recharge, small steps can make a big difference. Motorcycling can offer many benefits for our wellbeing – from reducing stress and improving mental health to connecting us with like-minded people through a shared passion. But looking after ourselves is just as important as looking after our bikes. After all, we wouldn't ignore a warning light on
