**Motobirds** were the UK's first all-women [motorcycle stunt riding](/source/Motorcycle_stunt_riding) display group.

They were formed in 1972, following a *[Leicester Mercury](/source/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](/source/The_One_Show).*[1]
