United by a passion for two wheels
Moto-Union understands what fellow motorcyclists enjoy and what they want from a celebration event.
Our story
Moto-Union is the union of motorbike enthusiasts who share an appreciation for iconic Japanese or Italian, modified, race, or off-road bikes. We organise an annual celebration dedicated to these iconic motorbikes using a fresh approach that will appeal to our fellow motorcyclists.
Held at the South of England Showground in Ardingly, the event brings together enthusiasts, collectors, owners clubs, and riders from across the UK to celebrate the heritage, engineering and culture of classic motorbikes.
Having introduced Moto-Union to the motorcycling fraternity – now is the time to grow it. Bring on the ‘Off-Road Zone’ and ‘Open Class’
Our values
At Moto-Union, we believe motorcycling is at its best when everyone feels welcome. While our roots are firmly planted in the world of classic and iconic Japanese motorcycles, our event is designed to bring together riders from every background, age and riding discipline.
Whether you ride a vintage classic, a modern machine, a scooter or anything in between, you’ll find a place within the Moto-Union community.
Community first
Moto-Union is built on community. The event exists because of the passion and dedication of riders, enthusiasts, volunteers, clubs and supporters who keep motorbike culture alive. We aim to create an atmosphere where friendships are formed, knowledge is shared and memories are made.
Working together
Moto-Union would not be possible without the support of our sponsors, partners and exhibitors. Their commitment helps us deliver a high-quality event while continuing to grow and improve the experience for visitors, riders and clubs alike.
Supporting meaningful causes
Motorcycling is about looking out for one another, and we’re committed to supporting causes that make a real difference. Moto-Union is proud to support Air Ambulance Kent Surrey Sussex (KSS), whose life-saving work helps people across our region when every second counts.
