The Altar of Speed: Worship Moto Show 2026…
Three years ago, Gary Inman of Sideburn and Dirt Quake fame created what has become one of our favorite motorcycle events on the planet: Worship Moto Show, held annually at a 120-year-old former church in Leeds, UK. Most shows pride themselves on being inclusive to all styles of motorcycles. While you’ll find a wide array of radical machines at Worship Moto Show, the focus here is on performance machinery of a particular stripe:
“The Worship Moto Show is a showcase for high-performance custom motorcycles, the kind of fire-breathing Japanese inline fours that used to be called ‘specials’… These are motorcycles built to perform, not simply turn heads or be part of a scene… 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.”
You won’t find any café racers rolling on Firestone balloon tires here. Instead, you’re more likely to see big-bore, forced-induction, oil-cooled monsters that would be downright lethal to the uninitiated. And that’s just how we like it.
We sent our man Roberto Garagarza (@roga______) to cover the show, and he returned with some 800 shots — multiple images of pretty much every single bike in the show. Last week we published our first gallery of streetfighters, muscle bikes, and pretty much anything naked of fairings.
Now we’re back with the superbikes, drag bikes, road racers, and other go-fast machinery — pretty much anything with fairings.
You’ll find a full gallery below with several images of bike. If you see any you’d like to see featured, let us know and we’ll try to make it happen!
