Been thinking of going on the last Sunday again (bargains Galore) but not really anything I need, moneys tight at the moment and it will probably be another £50 day out after fuel, food and entrance. So my question is, was it worth it in your opinion?

Was ok, not blown away tbh, booked online and saved a few quid, plus saved queuing at the door.
Impressed that I could park indoors and close to the show. Food offerings were poor, but a lot of thought went into a lot of the stands.
Was impressed with the Ducati, Vespa and Aprillia offerings. Jeez those Ducati's are expensive

Yes the new red framed/white GS did look a lot better in the flesh than in the photos. Still prfeferred the look of the Triple Black though

Not convinced by the Triumph - relatively heavy and looks like it may be a bit top heavy - ony a test ride would confirm it

Went up yesterday for the afternoon.

Got there at 2pm and bought ticket on the door. No queues at that time. Quite a lot of folks leaving so wasn't crowded at all.

Fek me the Honda stand is fekkin huge-o-saurus. Nick Sanders has gone up in the world with a huge stand too, right by the Yamaha stand.

Am loving the look of the K1600GT. Drooling over that now. Will get a test ride when my bike is in for a service in next couple of weeks. Felt like a right plonker as I asked where the K1300GT was, to find that it has been discontinued and replaced by the K1600. Doh. Kind of makes sense as I always thought that the R1200RT and the K1300GT were too close.

The usual klunge, totty, cleavage & camel toe at the Kawasaki stand.

Shite food stands + most of them don't take cards. Idjuts. Big queues for cashpoint on site.

Loads of pedo nerds around as there is a model railway exhibition on as well.

As you are in Londonium ... cheapest second hand ones at Park Lane (surprised me ). They have a white one and a red one.
