Four Tyco BMW race bikes were stolen from one of the team’s transporters on the night of Sunday, Nov. 27.

The location of the theft was the Premier Inn, Birmingham NEC/Airport, Northway, National Exhibition Centre, Birmingham, B40 1QA in England.

The team has been informed that the bikes were taken away in a white Ford Transit van.

Among the bikes stolen was one that Ian Hutchinson has rode to victory at the North West 200, the Ulster Grand Prix and the Isle of Man TT.

“We put our heart and soul into motorcycle racing and these bikes have real sentimental value. For this to happen is just devastating, especially as the bikes were only at Motorcycle Live so that race fans could see them up close and personal.”

According to Tyco BMW, the four bikes stolen were:

Ian Hutchinson’s treble winning Superstock specification Tyco BMW S1000RR – that won races at the NW200, Isle of Man TT and Ulster Grand Prix as well as finishing second in the British Superstock Championship in Tyco BMW livery.

Christian Iddon’s Tyco BMW S1000RR British Superbike – complete with very exclusive Suter Swingarm in Tyco BMW livery

Guy Martin’s Isle of Man TT Tyco BMW S1000RR Superbike – in Tyco BMW livery

Christian Iddon’s Tyco BMW S1000RR Superstock test bike – in plain white livery

A week after the theft, the team has yet to receive any new information. The team is asking anyone with information regarding the theft to contact them.
