Comment: The draft as a whole needs rewritting to conform with manual of style, tone, etc. Judging simply on notability, it fails WP:NCORP. References need to meet WP:ORGCRIT but I am only seeing mentions and routine coverage. CNMall41 (talk) 22:52, 27 November 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: Routine announcements and regurgitated press releases do not count towards notability per WP:ORGTRIV. Please make sure that your draft is written in the neutral point of view and all statements are cited to an inline citation. C F A 💬 03:48, 8 August 2024 (UTC)

Motorcycle Events
editMotorcycle Live - The industry’s showcase and UK’s largest annual motorcycle show is run by MCIA Events Limited.
UK Motorcycle Registrations Statistics
editThe monthly Press Statistics Report available from the MCIA details the number of new PTW and PLV registrations by class of vehicle and is widely used by the motorcycle press to report on the general health of the UK motorcycle market.[2]
Campaigns
editImproving motorcycle safety as vulnerable road users, who constitute only 1% of UK traffic and 20% of fatalities.[3]
Working in partnership with the Motorcycle Crime Reduction Group (MCRG) to prevent motorcycle theft, introducing a security rating for buyers to compare security across different models of motorcycle with a rating from 1 to 5 stars.[4]
Challenges facing the motorcycle industry in attracting young riders and young workers, with an ageing demographic of motorcyclists and a growing skills shortage (particularly motorcycle technicians).[5]
The MCIA has set out licence change proposals to improve access to motorcycles for young people, environmental impacts and safety for motorcyclists in their licence change proposal: “A Licence to Net Zero – Unleashing our Potential, Licence Reform Essential”.[6]
Collaboration with Motorcycle Action Group (MAG) to make the case for why motorcycling as a leisure activity, primarily using higher-powered motorcycles, must be protected as the Government heads towards a net zero future.[7]
Lobbying and Consultation
editThe MCIA considers itself to be 'the authoritative voice of the sector', lobbying UK government agencies and key stakeholder groups such as DVSA, DVLA, DfT, TfL, London Mayor’s Office, Police and in Europe through ACEM.
Parallel Imports - The MCIA was invited by the Parliamentary Trade and Industry Committee to submit a memorandum on issues relating to price differentials, the operation of the motorcycle market and parallel imports (also known as 'grey imports').[8]
Net Zero (Electric Vehicles) - In a consultation paper on the 'Phase Out' of Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) powered machines to the Environment and Climate Change Committee (Electric Vehicles Consultation), the MCIA accepts that PTWs have a role to play in reducing CO2 emmissions, however it also states PTWs should not be the priority target.[9]
