The mouth-watering new Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade SP takes its track-focused bow, with Öhlins suspension, engine enhancements and Brembo brakes.

Custom cruiser fans will be keener to see the CTX1300, a highly style-focused bike that brings more technology to the cruiser market sector.

Crucially, there are new bikes for less experienced riders too, with the CBR650F and CB650F arriving for 2014, having been developed by a specially-assigned team of younger engineers.

The two new machines share an engine and much of their underpinnings, but the CBR is the sportier looking with a faired design, while the CB goes for the ever-popular naked look.

Among heavily revised bikes coming to Motorcycle Live are the VFR800F, which sports a completely new look and upgrades including ABS, heated grips, an adjustable seat and self-cancelling indicators.

The Integra, NC750X, NC750S and CBR300R all see their engine capacities boosted slightly for a hike in power and torque.

Some of Honda’s Racing Legends will also visit the stand during the show. John McGuinness, Jonathan Rea, Leon Haslam and Alex Lowes will all be stopping by.

Young children can get involved, too, with the ‘My First Licence’ activity. Kids from 5-11 can take a supervised ride around a specially constructed street scene to get a feel for the fun of two wheels while learning about safety and awareness.
