The Festival of Speed presented by Mastercard; it’s all about cars, right? Wrong. While motorcycles may be in the minority, the upcoming event is the perfect opportunity to see some of the fastest and rarest rides around…

We are on the brink of revealing this year’s incredible line-up, but for now, let us take you back to 2018, and the brilliant batch of bikes that took to the Hill. Take 12 this morning and immerse yourself in the incredible sights and sounds of the epic line-up – from Honda’s diminutive RC146 to the Birchall brothers’ R6-powered sidecar unit and even a methanol-fuelled drag bike.

Where else could you see former Superbike World Champion Troy Corser aboard a BMW S1000RR, followed by MotoGP and IOMTT legends including Gino Rea and John McGuinness – all in the same class?

Stand-up wheelies, burnouts and race starts all feature in this epic compilation, which has got us hyped for the 2021 event. If it has done the same for you, there are still tickets available…
