Lovely bikes on show went yesterday, what I will say is that the industry will die if radical reform isn't employed, with dealers closing down quicker than pubs and prices for these machines going through the roof the young future riders can't afford to buy them, yesterday 90% of the punters were 55 and above male, looking at bikes they can afford but wouldn't enjoy riding anymore most look at sit up style bikes, I don't know what the answer is but something needs to be done to get the young back on board, ooh forgot to mention insurance for the young is also ridiculous

SP Hornet has got more (+5bhp) power than the standard model Tom, good video, shame to have missed you. Did you try the pale blue Yam Tenere Tom, it was more jacked up? I was there on the Sunday fella. Good event, JB

Cracking video Tom and the lovely Sara thank you so much as I’m way to busy too attend this year so your video is very well appreciated a massive thumbs up 👍🏍️

How to are you mate? Im also a tall guy so its a big reference for ergonomics lol

Hopeless offer. Where are some 500-600cc light motorcycles not marketing BS that cost fortune and weigths half a tonne.

Some nice bikes there. You could come a way with a bunch of them.

It seems to me that there were more you tubers at the show than people genuinely interested in buying a new bike!! I used to go every year for 20 odd years, this will be the third in a row that i have swerved and shan't be going again. The new bikes have just lost their soul. The manufacturers pander to the namby pambies with the rider modes and 6 axis IMU cornering ABS etc etc on 38 bhp bikes!! No thank you. There are enough old proper bikes out there for me to choose from.

I’m sorry guys, but it’s like an amateurish, silly family video and rather too lightweight in content and product knowledge/awareness. Far too much of “Do I look good?” and “I like the colour”. 🤦‍♂️

Just bought a 23 plate Icon blue MT07. But being a short arse, am tippy tip toes, with low seat. But it’s loaded with Yamaha accessories. It’s a lovely bike. More enjoyable on the open road compared to my lovely Rebel 500. I really dislike the key placement! The new one looks the dogs! Enjoyed your video thanks. Wee Mark😊

Good video, subbed.

That MT10 suits you. It was nice to meet you both. Great job with your video, nice audio. Those Honda Hornet 1000s look great value. Think the SP model is about 5 bhp up on the standard

How tall are you 6'10😅

I commented on someone else's video from there that I will never have another new bike. I don't keep them long enough and lose too much money. There's some daft prices these days for bikes, no wonder the biking world is suffering at the moment. I believe that GSA with all the bells and whistles can go over £30k, mental. To me, it doesn't matter what you have it specc'd up with, it's still damn ugly. Me thinks your mrs is gonna have a bigger bike not too far in the future.😁😁 Thanks for taking us around with you both.

Good to meet up with you both! Had a fab day xx

can you tell me what cable you used for the switch live? and what colour on the bike and location of it please?

Awesome Vid mate! Did you do any of the test rides?

Shame Triumph weren’t a bit more adventurous with the new 800 Tiger Sport

Riding clutchless bikes is for people that will create problems later. Just lazy riding and then everyone can do it and accidents will increase and more people injured and motorcycles do become dangerous , as people that should not ride , will get the easy button of motorcycles. Look at cars today, they almost drive themself and the drivers are the worst you have ever seen. Because they have false belief that the car knows best and people can use the phone and other things while they drive. No gear shifting we can put a cup holder on the left and let's go ahead and put a Screen in front of you and play a KZbin while you ride. Sad they can't put a pipe ashtray on it so I could enjoy a pipe in the morning while my bike rides itself. 😂

I only see people step on the left peddle and step up and over with content creators outside of the US. I guess I comment because it looks funny to me. If a person is getting on the back , then it's needed .

I think it would be good to have for accident footage. Hope that you or the wife need to use it. Hope it rewrites over if it fills the card so it's not another thing that needs attention. 😊

I had to buy mine.😎 Still rate it as well worthwhile installing.

I'm 6'1" and looking at a slightly older 1050. Glad its a comfortable machine for the taller rider. I'd prefer tubless all round, but tubed wheels are more resilient off road. I assume Suzuki are trying to get the best of both worlds with an easy to repair tubless rear, and a resilient front wheel

Peak reliability. It's funny how it still looks small on you lol.

NEC is a fab place for a chit chat, but an expensive one. 😅 Last year, one of those Chinese brands put on a HUGE floor display, but with few bikes and not much interest. A power move, perhaps..?

I’m heading up Monday so will try and keep an eye out for you mate.

Ridiculously expensive there, but if ya wanna go, ya gotta pay. Bike sounds pukka mate👍👍

I’m 6’7 and want to learn to ride. What 125 do you recommend for us bigger people?

I think your car play screen looks ace,, Iv got one coming ,,not that make ,,,its a bit cheaper of ALi

First, 6 feet 6 inches! Nice! Good stock you are! Now to the question. If you buy Chinese, you get it through a distributor to your house or to a dealer? That tells me who sets it up, then where do you get parts and it fixed? As it's a BMW engine does OEM parts come from BMW or the Chinese brand ? 😊

Was there last year. Its good if your in the market for a new bike, you get to see them all in the one place. We had 10 hours driving that day too lol.

Thankyou for this mornings entertainment. 😁 My problem with the NEC is that living in East Kent it is a 420 mile round trip and including the day walking around this old body finds it a bit too much. Enjoy your day.

mooore!!!!

😂Chigee is the best and most complete of the category. I would even like a worthy competitor. But it still doesn't exist

i’m 6.1 and i make my triumph bobber look disappointingly tiny. its the looks for me. they advertise most bikes it seems by photographing women on them. the new gen of kids are tall. they’re going to have to change.

Sonic speed me up real life 😁👍

It's all too expensive, bikes, servicing, insurance, helmets and clothing, parts and accessories, The bike industry has been mugging us off for years, Then you have pot hole ridden roads, horrible weather for most of the year, Bike thefts on the rise, speed cameras, and is it me or is the standard of driving in this country on the decline? Is there more people driving hear on foreign licences? Or has the standard just dropped? Or is it because the roads are so crowded and conjested and everyone is pisst off and angry?

I honestly see the UK as the last bastion of hope when it comes to bikes I actually like, so I have been watching with massive concern over how things are shaping up. Dealers cost of service and such is definitely a major issue, a lot of new prices on bikes are also insane, I think Suzuki are on of the few doing a good job there. It's bikes man, no government cares about bikes sadly. Haha couldn't' agree more on the simple bikes. I think people would have a lot more fun on something they can afford to have fun on eh! I detest arguing with insurance. Never had an accident that was reported on a bike ever, still goes up. Probably one of my least favourite things.

These are just some of the best sounding twins ever made.

Hi, All! I hope you have all enjoyed the video, I am getting a few reports that this may not be working for some. Mainly the W502PRO, this was made using the W502 so I am not sure if the process differs. Also I have since retried this process with FAT32 and exFAT and it works on both, so if you are experiencing issues I do apologise

Hey mate, just got myself a 2006 MT01. I really like the stainless MT01 intake nameplates and the brake fluid reservoirs you have. Could you point me in the right direction to get those? Thanks!

Sarah belongs to the street fighter club now welcome to the gang 👍

Well done Sarah, I like bar end mirrors, only downside is filtering, it makes the bike wider and normally at car wing mirror height too. They look good 🙂

Nice to see a bit of farkling going on 👍 Nice bit of teamwork there 👍

Twinkle😍

Added bonus, when you want to be extra cool you can flip them upside down. As long as you are not overly fussed with vision and possibly being able to go full lock. When is the Halloween pumpkin carving special coming out?

On inch taller (25 mm) seat and 1/2 inch (13 mm) lower foot pegs is solution for 5,4 or 193 cm tall rider, compared to usual motorcycle set up these days
