Motobirds were the UK's first all-women motorcycle stunt riding display group.

They were formed in 1972, following a Leicester Mercury ad seeking girls to ride motorcycles. They appeared at shows across Europe and on TV, "often wearing little more than a bikini and a short skirt".[1]

In 2016, six of the original members were reunited on BBC TV's The One Show.[1]
