Crazy when you could bag a 1098 for 12K, the monster 1100 is getting good reviews and for 7K ish might be worth a look.stormsmasher wrote:Went yesterday and it was OK, but nothing better I'm afraid.
Seems to get worse by the year...sorry for the doom & gloom guys.
However there were some very nice models, I've taken more pictures of them than the bikes this year....hey ho.
Quite like the bikes on the Ducati stand especially the Monster 1000s, the supermoto and the streetfighter.
Fav is the streetfighter which had 155bhp which sounded mental....£13.5k price tag will make it a little rare on the road.

Bin today and imho defo not worth the 17 £ entrance fee, basically felt i was entering a market/showroom no real interaction with visitor to warrant the entrance charge and was just like being at a dealers near the local street market, i suggest you save your lolly and go to one of the custom shows or the next years at the exel centre london. Most dissapointing 
forgot 8£ for carpark

hey i couldnt agree more with stormingjoe, just got back and OMG one of the worst shows, they just seem to be going through the motions with us punters, they seem to think that a couple of baddy bags will do the trick, and even some of the stands were now selling the bags from £1 to around £5

Well went today and i dont know what to think. The hole set up seems to be smaller and there seemed to be less vendors there. Only freebies i got were a dvd and an a4 poster, food was stupidly expensive and not that many brolly dollys.
On the plus side i did see some good deals on quite a few parts and clothing. The best clothing deal i saw was at J&S they had Alpinestars and Arlen Ness leathers for half price so a £600 suit was £300. On the parts side i think Stealth products was the best with front and rear disc's and three sets of pads for £195.
On the whole i think it was an expensive day £8 to park is a rip off but i did enjoy myself. Think i need to give it a miss next year then i might enjoy it more the following year.
P.S Did like the little stunt show thing going on but even that was £4 to watch

Like it's been said,same old same,
don't get me wrong still a good day out,only to have a banter with the trade stands,did anybody have any joy with them,i felt they weren't budging on prices at all.
Spent most of the time in the trade part,going round the bikes was ok but didn't seem to be much there?
As for the Duke "Streetfighter"
,didn't jump out at me,personally i like'd the Triumph Speed Triple.
I try not to go every year,i usually go every other,otherwise i find it get's a bit boring.
