As the British summer season draws to a close, BMW Motorrad UK is gearing up
for two days of motorcycling mayhem this weekend as up to 30,000 biking nuts
head to the East of England Showground in Peterborough for the annual British
Motorcyclists Federation (BMF) Tail End Show.
After giving away the star prize (a brand new K1200 S superbike) at the BMF
Show last May, the BMW Motorrad stand will once again be at the forefront of
activity, offering visitors the chance to test ride a selection of the latest
BMW models. In addition, there will also be displays of clothing and
accessories from the innovative BMW Rider Equipment collection, including the
new ProRace leather suit, the Santiago textile suit and the SportIntegral
Carbon helmet - the lightest helmet in its class.
The most powerful naked production street bike in the world - the 163 bhp K1200
R - will be available for road testing, as will many of the other 'new
generation' models including the best-selling R1200 GS, the R1200 ST sports
touring sensation, plus the legendary R1200 RT tourer. BMW's acclaimed
superbike - the 167 bhp K1200 S - will also be available for test rides
(participants will be required to show both parts of their driving licence in
order to test ride any BMW motorcycle).
The autumn issue of BMW Bikes magazine will be available for visitors to take
away, and contains news and reviews of all the latest models, as well as
details about the World of BMW customer activity programme.
Now in its eighth year, the BMF Tail End Show continually attracts a growing
number of top manufacturers to the East of England Showground. In addition,
hundreds of trade stands and live action arena events will keep everyone
entertained, including Vintage Speedway, Moped Enduro, and stunt riding teams.
There are also numerous activities to keep the children entertained, as well as
evening entertainment for the adults, with three music venues and two live
bands.
The BMF Tail End Show takes place on Saturday 17 September and Sunday 18
September from 9am-5pm. For ticket information, enthusiasts should visit
