Motorcycle Live 2024: The Best New Motorcycles Coming in 2025!

[@nickjh1968]

Hardly surprising the motorcycle industry in the UK is in decline, the prices of modern bikes is crazy.

[@thatbikersimon]

There’s some good prices on the voge bikes/ cf moto/ royal Enfield ect

[@RussRyan7713]

Thanks for taking the time to walk around and show us the show.

[@thatbikersimon]

Your welcome thanks for watching 👍🏍️💨💨💨💨

[@volt8684]

£15k for the speed twin is utterly crazy

[@thatbikersimon]

It’s a lot of money, but well built with some nice bits on it.

[@IndigoJo]

@@thatbikersimonIs it built in the UK or in Thailand? I can't really understand £15K for an old-fashioned bike (ie. no R&D to speak of) built in a third world country.

[@wayneelmore7839]

Great content, very informative and well put together. Love it. Thanks Simon and Amy.

[@thatbikersimon]

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for the comment.

[@VisorView]

Got to say that this was a very impressive tour of the show. You are both naturals at this. One thing is apparent, the big manufacturers are going to struggle against the new Chinese bikes. Benelli, Voge. CFMoto etc are all seriously good bikes.

[@thatbikersimon]

Thanks for the kind comment, I guess bike prices have been a problem for people over the last decade, so it’s nice to have other choices and the India and Chinese bike have just got better and better.

[@guljar1243]

I had to watch the video again because of Amy, forgot to look at the motorcycles. Greetings from Norway! 😊

[@thatbikersimon]

[@SwenglishSteve650]

[@thatbikersimon]

Thanks Darren, really appreciate that. Glad you enjoyed the walk around. 👍

[@adamnichol6761]

Went yesterday. Highlights: RE Bear and Guerrilla are great, as is the BSA Scrambler. ZX1100SE was very comfy, but those panniers are still a little small. Tiger Sport 800 is ace. Return of the DRZ400 is off road and supermoto guise is great. The GSX800 sports bike variant also looked great. CF Moto's NK bikes look great too, I sat on the 675 but the 800 looks good also. Hornet 1000 was a top highlight. I also liked the CVO Road Glide....I get that it is divisive and £45k (eek), but it's nice to see what can be got. I'd probably go for the Challenger Dark Horse, but a non-CVO Road Glide would give it a run. Similarly, it's a tight fight between the Super Chief and the Low Rider, but I find both lift my knees higher than I want - and would have to go for forward controls over the given mids. Lowlights: Sadly the R9. I was quite hyped for a sports bike for the road, but those bars are low. Engine characteristics may be different, but it's no more comfortable than a ZX6 or a Fireblade. The XSR-GP and the GSX8 and CBR650 all offer a less racy stances, so I'm left wondering where the R9 is supposed to fit

[@thatbikersimon]

Hi Adam, it sounds like you’ve totally explored the motorcycle live show, it’s great to get your thoughts and feedback. It’s the best way to try out for size and have a proper look over the bikes. Thanks for you comment 👍

[@patgillmore6969]

Enjoyed your review of the show. Looking to go later in the week. Great to see Amy sitting on some of the bikes as not many have a seat height suitable for us 5’4” ladies !

[@thatbikersimon]

Thanks Pat, we appreciate the comment, we do try and mix it up These days and Amy comes in day for the female perspective, enjoy your day out at the show

[@Splodge4514]

Thanks for taking us to the bike show, as I could not be there, this video is making up for it. I love the 450 GS but I think we will all be disappointed when / if they release it and then tell us the price lol 😂

[@thatbikersimon]

Your welcome, glad you enjoyed it, I think BMW will have to keep it inline with other bikes in this category. It depends on what price the new KtM 450 will be also.

[@Bikegirl2022]

Thanks for the walk around I’ll be having a little stroll myself later in the week 👍🏼

[@thatbikersimon]

You’ll enjoy it, hopefully it’s not so busy for you during the week.

[@2wheelsrbest327]

Thanks Guys I now thumbs up before I look at your video's because I know it will be good. My two leisure passions are motorcycling and cycling and motorbikes like the Voge & Benelli are cheaper than most premium bicycles. They are unbelievably cheap. My current bike is a 2018 1200 GS and if I ever decide to sell it I will definitely be looking at the two bikes I mentioned. Thanks again keep safe and warm and good luck when you take your test Amy.

[@thatbikersimon]

Our pleasure! Thanks for watching and good look with the bike hunt 👍🏍️💨💨💨💨

[@stuartjames6300]

Just chuckling at the negative comments, at least they spent nearly an hour watching the video which all helps putting some money in your pocket ;) Simon presents his vids well, all good in my opinion.

[@thatbikersimon]

Thanks Stuart, I really appreciate the support. I do read all the comments and my main objective is to create a channel that’s watchable the most bikers (still working on it ) hope you enjoyed it buddy. Thanks for the comment 👍

Good coverage of the show,, some bikes are crazy money and it's surprising that they have such good sales,, suppose PCP is a big deal nowadays,,☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️ from northern Ireland like the Royal Enfield Bear,,

[@thatbikersimon]

Yes some bikes definitely carry a hefty price tag, so the pcp can ease the pain, on the other hand some dealer have to great prices. Thanks for watching 👍

[@nicolascarabournis8784]

Thanks Simon for this "Tour", what's your favorite for the year ? Regards to Amy, I'm watching you from France ;-) Voilà mon ami !

[@thatbikersimon]

That’s a tough question, so many nice bikes, but the Himalayan 450 has to be the best for fun factor. So far. Thanks for watching

[@Boxer1250RT]

This was the most comprehensive Eicma video this year. While Italian and German bike prices going up like Crazy, those Chinese bikes are providing a lot of value. $8K CF Moto has Brembos, $40K M1000RR has Nissins go figure.That BMW 450 GS looks super sweet. If the price is right, it will sell well.

[@thatbikersimon]

Many thanks for the comment, India and Chinese bikes are selling in numbers, like you mentioned there’s some nice components on them now.

[@thatbikersimon]

Yes that’s one great bike, I’ve never riden one though.

[@xl447]

Nice vid guys, however, there's a lot of small independent companies that are equally interesting to capture, such as UK based touring companies. Most UK riders havn't rode outside the country, so would be good to see these traders.

[@thatbikersimon]

Yes I agree, I did have a look at one or two and there’s some interesting tours worth taking a look at, The Best way to highlight these is to ride with them and vlog the journey, I’m open to suggestions if you give me a point of contact.

[@xl447]

​@thatbikersimon Hi guys, yes, my wife and I rode 'Italian Lakes and Swiss Alps' with BN European last August. Fantastic tour and the first time I'd ridden in Europe on those fantastic roads. Biker paradise. Contact is John or Jen, they both ride and have fantastic route knowledge accross Europe and some fantastic biker tours, many with a support luggage van too.

The market has become over saturated with retro-nostalgia bikes,we've progressed enormously in the area of motorcycle technology,who wants a Royal Enfield that looks the same as it did 60 years ago when there are so many highly advanced and capable bikes out there.

[@thatbikersimon]

That’s a fair perspective, but retro-nostalgia bikes like Royal Enfields cater to a different kind of rider. They’re less about cutting-edge performance and more about character, simplicity, and the joy of riding. Not everyone wants the latest tech-some prefer a connection to motorcycling’s heritage, where the ride itself is the focus rather than speed or features. Plus, retro bikes often have a timeless aesthetic and approachable nature that appeal to a wide audience, including new riders and enthusiasts alike. There’s room in the market for both advanced machines and those that celebrate the past.
