Bike Shed Moto Show 2026: The Café Racers

Ton-Up Time: 25 Café Racers from The Bike Shed Moto Show 2026…

Back in 2013, a dozen motorcycle enthusiasts held the inaugural Bike Shed Moto Show under the railway arches in Shoreditch, London. There were 55 bikes and 3000 attendees, along with a pop-up barbershop, tattoo parlor, bars, food trucks, and some curated vendors.

“It was created by a dozen amateur moto enthusiasts as a celebration of motorcycle design, people and culture, reflected in cafe racers, brat-style, scramblers and street trackers. We now embrace all styles of two wheels, including adventure, dirt, track/race, street, electric and vintage/classic.”

Today, the Bike Shed Moto Show boasts some 20,000 visitors and hundreds of custom bikes on the grounds of Tobacco Dock, a Grade 1 warehouse in London’s East End. It’s a premier event in the world of custom motorcycles, and the passion of the BSMC team remains as strong as ever.

“The BSMC team still runs the entire show, with a volunteer force of members and ex-BSMC staff. We do all we can to make the event better every year, and remain one of the best moto shows in the world, as well as being good value for money, for attendees and participants.” -BSMC

The 2026 edition might well be the best event ever, especially in terms of the sheer quality and quantity of custom builds, as you’ll see as we unroll our various featured galleries from the show.

For 2026, we were fortunate to have our man Roberto Garagarza (@roga______/) roaming Tobacco Docks with camera in hand, capturing as many of the builds as possible. He As always, we’ve worked hard to match the builder with each bike.
