I have visited the museum on 3 occasions and once for a conference. The bikes are excellent but the other negative reviews I've read could have been written by me - I've copied one below - I was disappointed by this visit. It is simply a large collection of motorcycles in a few large halls. Each bike has a description... More

I really cannot speak too highly of the national motorcycle museum. The staff were very friendly well informed and could not do enough for you. Everything was immaculately clean and tidy and all the bikes had information on them. There really wasn't enough hours in the day to take it all in. There's a restaurant there too, food was reasonably... More

Had a few hours to kill before our flight so called in. An amazing collection of the best of the British motorcycle industry. To have recovered from a disastrous fire a few years ago to this standard is a real achievement. If you have an interest, not just in motorcycles, but in the development of British engineering this place is... More

Visited in late February having yearned from Australia for many years. First impressions very good. Terrific building, easy to get to, easy to park and not dear. After 5 minutes inside the big negative was obvious. Neither my mate nor I could work out how the bikes were grouped. Was it by make, style, cyinder layout or just whereever there... More

This is probably the greatest selection of Motor Cycles you can see. It was even better before they had a fire a few years ago but I have been back since and it is still fantastic nostalgia with all types of old road bikes as well as racing bikes.

I was disappointed by this visit. It is simply a large collection of motorcycles in a few large halls. Each bike has a description beside it and they range from early 1900s upwards. They are arranged by manufacturer, broadly. There is no theme/subject streaming, no commentary, nothing tracing the development of the motorbike, nothing charting the downfall of British motorcycle... More

Took our young grandson. Just loads of bikes not much to interest young children. eg no hands-on displays or activities.

Disappointing that the only thing for a 5 and 2 year old was a 'spot the teddybear' quiz. Hundreds of shiny bikes had a passing interest for me but without some hands on attractions or videos or play area or ANYTHING it was an expensive way to spend an hour. To be honest it felt a bit amateurish despite the... More

lots of bikes, but youd need to be a real biking fanantic to stay too long, there are just rows and rows of bikes, almost like a warehouse, theyd be better off with fewer bikes on show but giving a better story about why that bikes special, its history etc etc....to be honest i felt like i was in a...
