The Newark Classic Bike Show on January 11-12 2020 will have on display Guy Martin’s 1500cc Suzuki, complete with turbo engine, and the man himself might even make an appearance at the event.

The bike was ridden by Guy in the ‘Race to 300mph in a standing mile’ challenge, organised by the UK Timing Association – an arm of Straightliners Events.

No one has yet managed to reach 300mph in the mile – although Guy is currently second in the running at an impressive 270.065mph.

The team are hoping that Guy will attend the show on Sunday to promote the upcoming 2020 rounds for the challenge, but his attendance is not yet guaranteed.

Applications for bike and scooter displays have been at an all-time high, and fans can expect additional display areas across the site, giving the show the biggest-ever number of bikes on show.

A brand-new ‘Workshop Wisdom’ feature from Classic Bike Guide magazine will make its debut for the 2020 show.

All visitors are encouraged have a go for themselves and to book in advance of the event due to last year’s popularity.

Star guest Frankie Chili will be at the show all weekend, interviewed on stage by Lincolnshire racing gem Steve Plater. The show will feature many of its regular attractions, including a vast number of trade and autojumble pitches, club stands and hundreds of classic bikes on display.
