Great afternoon at the museum. As a “friend” of the museum had the opportunity to ride some of the museum’s bikes and experience different makes from the last 100 years. Museum experience was good as usual, good cafe, friendly staff and volunteers. The collection is always worth a look roun.

The third time I have done this. Great value for £20 you get about 2 hrs of riding a selection of classic bikes and chatting with fellow enthusiasts in the museum grounds. You get to ride BSA and Triumph twins back to back along with some older, less common bikes. The short 'horseshoe' circuit is great for feeling the old bikes responding to your input on the tight turns and viewing other bikes being ridden round along side you.

Very well laid out with a huge selection of exhibits from the very early to the absolute newest bikes. This was going to be my treat for my son, but guess what, they only take card payments, even for a cup of tea! I'm one of the old school who don't use cards and I felt bitterly let down by this policy, what was to have been a treat turned out to be an embarrassment as my son ended up having to pay for his own treat! I won't be visiting the museum again, and I now warn my friends not to visit if they like me don't use cards. Shame on you.

I had an old faded photograph of my great grandfather riding an unknown motorcycle, on the off chance I sent a picture to the museum to see if they could identify it. Well they did and in just the space of 2 days, what an excellent service and special shout out to James Hewing the Museum Director who did the investigating for me. Look forward to visiting the Museum again this year as I have not been for many years.

I had an old family photo featuring my father as a child on a British Motorcycle. The museum was incredibly helpful, identifying the motorbike, year of manufacture and the type of motor. So incredibly helpful. Colin/ Australia.

Located very close to the NEC / BHX the National Motorcycle Museum has a wealth of motorcycles on display from many years gone by. There are hundreds and hundreds to view showing the historical journey of how today's motorcycle came into being. There is also a gift shop and a cafe. Beware if attending with cash, as cash is not accepted.

Attended the ‘Ride a Classic’ afternoon event on 6th April, there was, as always, a varied selection of old British bikes available to ride. The event was well attended and very well organised. This was the fourth time I have been lucky enough to have been invited and I don’t think twice about the 350 mile round trip. My companion for the day even got half price admission. Big thanks to all the museum staff and volunteers who make the event possible.

Great place to visit with incredibly knowledgeable staff, from the Museum Director himself down to the many passionate volunteers who help out there. To cap it all they identified a bike for me from a grainy photo in no time at all! Excellent and will go again.

I have previously posted due to poor service and availability in the cafe. However this time there has been a lot of improvement. There were more staff who were very friendly and helpful. Also there was a much better choice and availability of food.

Beautiful bikes, from the golden age of motorcycle design. From the very earliest bikes through to the 60s. There are some later bikes too. Every one has an a4 page giving its history so don't expect to get through every single thing in one visit. Enjoy soaking up the calm atmosphere and admire the bikes - there are quite a few seats throughout so no need to rush through. Not really anything for younger children, it's not that type of museum. Coffee shop & memorabilia shop don't require a ticket so worth remembering if you are en route this is a much nicer stop off than typical services!
