I went on Wednesday (28th.)
I have to say, there were only 3 manufacturers who's bikes I actually 'liked...'
BMW, Buell & Ducati!
What are other people's opinion?
Went last friday with a few mates, going again tomoz with tsm and one of my mates as i was exhausted last time and didnt get to see it all (hard work hopping round there on crutches!!)
Loved the 675 and the 250 ninja and the new gsxr's, want to check out the ducatis tomoz... ;)
I enjoyed it - felt it was an improvement on last year and there appeared to be more trade stands. Was a bit disappointed that Aprilia werent there but good to see the new models on offer anyway. Just wish I could have spent more time there as there is a lot to do if you want to go on ride outs/sit in exhibition arena.

Did you picket the orange stand? ;) BMW have some interesting stuff. Unfortunately they are also going for being a volume manufacturer. I was set for a G450X next year, until I read that the engines are being made by Kymco :confused: The update of the 1200GS is mingin IMO.

It was the HP2 moto I liked :cool: but at nearly £12,000 its a bit outta my league :!:
Loved the Ducati 696 Monster (& at £5500 it looks a nice buy,) as does the Hypermotard :cool:
But also the all black Buell XB12S & XB9SX still look cool :!:

KTM bikes rock
Are you lot trying to wind me up? :lol: :lol:
I went on the 30th, first time there and I loved it. Spent a long time staring and sitting on a gixxer 750.. luvverly, nicer than the zx6r I was on.
Then I sat on the intruder m1800r... whoa is all I can say :)
From what people had told me I was expecting loads of scantily clad wimmen, only to be presented with catwoman at the custom bike bit right at the end.. eww..
Favourite bike there was probably the benelli cafe racer, that was well nice :)
