The Altar of Speed: Worship Moto Show 2025: Round I

“Come Pray to the Gods of Speed…”

The UK’s Worship Motorcycle Show might just be our favorite new event in the world of two wheels. Organized by Gary Inman of DirtQuake and Sideburn fame, it takes a different approach than most of today’s custom shows. Inman and company have brought together a collection of some of the baddest high-powered muscle bikes on earth.

“These are motorcycles built to perform, not simply turn heads or be part of a scene. No stone is left unturned. We have nothing against the shed-built, created-on-a-budget cafe racers, but Worship is not a show for those bikes. We have loved these muscle bikes for years and want to see the best of them congregated in one place.”

Big-bore vintage superbikes and forced induction, street fighters and Spondons, drag bikes and turbo weapons — Worship has more ponies per wheel than any other moto show on the planet.

Then there’s the venue, Left Bank Leeds — a truly gorgeous, inspiring space to host these radical creations. Originally built in 1907, it was home to St. Margaret’s Church for nearly nine decades. Today, it’s a community-led arts and event venue just a mile from Leeds city center.

One of our favorite companies, ICON Motorsports, is a main sponsor of the event, as is Devitt Insurance. Of course, their Royal Enfield Shotgun 650 “Always Something” edition was a main attraction.

Other supporters include Kriega, Image Worx, 71Speedster, and one of favorite people in the motorcycle world, Guy Martin — the motorcycle racer, truck fitter, part-time farmer, enthusiastic engineer, author, and occasional television host has supported Worship from the very beginning, bringing his Project 300 mph turbocharged Hayabusa to the inaugural show. This year, his turbocharged Martek Pikes Peak racer was on display.

We were fortunate to have our man Roberto Garagarza (@roga______/) in attendance to capture the show. Roberto got more than 600 shots (!) from the one-day event, so we’re splitting up the bikes into two rounds. Below, you’ll find our first bike gallery of ~20 bikes in no particular order.

If you’re in the UK, Western Europe, or able to hop a flight to England, we highly recommend you put Worship Moto Show on your list and follow them @worshipmotoshow for highlights and updates. Thank you to Gary Inman and his team for putting so many staggering, inspiring builds under one roof.
