Get ready for a cracking Easter Monday treat! Elk Promotions is bringing its renowned Classic Motorcycle Show and Bike Jumble back to Ashford Livestock Market on April 21st, 2025, and this year, we're celebrating a true icon: the Honda Gold Wing.


Touring Takes Centre Stage


This year marks the 50th anniversary of Honda's legendary tourer, the Gold Wing. Prepare to be amazed by a captivating display showcasing its remarkable evolution in the Amos Hall Foyer. From the original, raw power of the 1970s GL1000 to the cutting-edge sophistication of the latest 1800cc models, you'll witness the technological and design journey of this ground-breaking motorbike.


A Showcase of Classic Excellence


The Amos Hall will also host the usual impressive line-up of club stands and private entries. Expect to see a diverse range of classic motorbikes, following in the footsteps of last year’s winners, which included a stunning 1932 499cc Ariel Red Hunter and a 1974 Honda CB350K4. It's a testament to the show's rich variety and passion for classic bikes.
