The National Motorcycle Museum occupies an 8-acre site in Bickenhill, Solihull, England and holds the World's largest collection of British motorcycles.In addition to over 850 motorcycles which cover a century of motorcycle manufacture the site has conference facilities. The main entrance is from the roundabout at the junction of the A45 and the M42.
The founder of the museum, construction entrepreneur and self-made millionaire Roy Richards, started collecting good examples of British motorcycles in the 1970s. The museum opened in 1984 with an initial collection of 350 machines.

The museum was developed to include conference facilities in 1985. The museum has become the largest collection of British motorcycles in the world, with over 250,000 visitors a year.

Roy Richards died of respiratory failure on March 29, 2008, aged 77. The National Motorcycle Museum is a fitting memorial to his passion for preserving British motorcycling history
