Awesome Jacket Tim takes me back to my youth in the 70s when they were fashionable 👍

😂 It must be coming back in soon, right?!

How can you not like the Poms , Tim’s great little video on the latest bling.

I bought a ZeroFit base layer, they're quite good, have worn them on cold days riding and they do a pretty good job.

Good shouts on the gear too… thank you!

Très amusant. Loving the CBR600RR. Cheers. G.

Those are some great looking bikes! The Triumphs are very very pretty as it's that MV Agusta

Well, the cb1000r looked so much nicer than the hornet imo. Cheers Tim, some great stuff there.

Thanks for the video, I don’t feel like I need to go now!

The M1000XR gives me strong "does everything well" vibes like some sort of 2 wheeled BMW M3 Touring

I think your use of the word vibes may be oddly prescient… but hopefully they've fixed it. Otherwise there'll be a lot of well-off riders with numb hands next year 😆

Thought it was Tyson fury for a moment !!! Loved the Ducati desert x ..very tall but an absolute stunner ..

Love the XSR900 GP. Ideal ripper for this middle aged man!

Lotsa beautiful bling but, for real world whoa! the Suzuki GX looks like a winner. That said, if Suzuki smuggled that K5 into a “GS1000S” retro package it’d be hard to say no.

Thanks for the laughs from your commentary.

Thanks for the kind comment, glad you enjoyed 👍

If you thought that Yamaha XSR900 GP racer looked nice, did you see the Velocity moto XSR900 on the Datatag stand? Looks like the old RD500LC👍 The Honda Hornet had the world's most uncomfortable seat! Hopefully it goes well and at least it has 4 cylinders

Hyper 698 for me.. ordered one and can’t wait to ride/review and get it on track!

Tim, brave choice of jacket to wear out in public. Me Nan used to have curtains in the same material.

Tim, did you manage to upset all of Ducati, Triumph AND BMW? If so, you must be doing something right!!! ;) :) :D Good effort! When did you go? I went on Monday, was there by 10:20 (nightmare journey to get there) and it was about 25x busier (way too busy TBH!). Nice summary, keep up the honest, non-schilling work. Top man :) :D

@@timrodieridesThat's strange. I wonder why they stayed away when pretty much everyone else was there? I thought it was a really good show this year - lots of exciting new stuff.

Thought MV agusta making 500 adv @ shows last year? Or do they just want to sell the 900cc @ mad money?

I was disapointed in the Suzi 8R, would have the 8S! (but steel frame, really!!??). GSXS-X I would really quite like, not sure if I'd choose the GSXS-GT though...? Would love a Hyper 698!!!! (but would also love the KTM 690 SMC-R). Would deffo have the 990 Duke, like the Predator with his helmet off front end ;) :) Not sure Honda do a single bike I'd buy any more, except the Grom and Monkey, obvs (have had a serious hankering for a Monkey ever since a mate got one and I had a go...). Hymalaya 452... no price??? WTF? Would probably have the Trumpet 400X instead though... Roadskin AAA jeans at that price is VERY keen..had a good chat with the lady on their stand :) I am still sore I just missed out on EICMA trade day, next year!!! ;) (the NEC is sadly a shadow of it's former self, not sure if I'll go again... but glad I did this year....)

The moderation is in the note-taking before the event and getting fed up with doing it 😆

Not directly relevant to the motorcycle show, but have there been any rumors of an updated Triumph Tiger 1200? It feels like they have fallen behind with some of the technology, specifically the adaptive cruise control. If Triumph had it available, there is a high probability one would be parked in my garage.

I think you could sit on them. The 8R and a few others were on a plinth, but you could still walk up to them....

Suzuki not wanting you sit on the bikes because the 0.01mm paint will all be rubbed off by the end of the show

How much road crap will that 990 headlight accumulate! My vote for the fugliest bike of all time. Muppets! The new Himalayan seems to have dish drainer as the rad guard? Now I’ve got used to the 1300, taken in the reviews and seen it in the flesh… it’s still pig ugly 😅 thanks for saving me the entry fee Tim!
