Ducati and Benelli at UK Motorcycle and Scooter Show

Two of the world's biggest bike names are showcasing their 2008 models at this year's International Motorcycle and Scooter Show.

Ducati is appearing for the first time since 2005, while fellow Italian bike maker Benelli is making its show debut.

This means the UK's biggest two-wheeled show will play host to the most phenomenal selection of bikes ever to appear in Britain, when the show opens next month.

Other manufacturers appearing include BMW, Buell, Harley-Davidson, Honda, Kawasaki, Victory Motorcycles and Yamaha.

Show organizer Finlay McAllan, said: "This year's International Motorcycle and Scooter Show will see the bike take center stage like never before."

"The return of Ducati and the arrival of Benelli is the best possible news for the NEC Show and cements its position as undisputed the biggest and best two-wheeled event in the UK.

"There is simply no other place in the UK to go and see so much."

The 2007 International Motorcycle and Scooter Show runs from November 23 to December 2
