Is anyone going? It looks like ABR have a trade stand? Well, saw their name listed on the website..

Not sure if there is already another thread running?
We'll be there - stand #A76! Looking forward to it

Great! I'll check it out.. I'm wanting to buy a helmet and some boots so perfect excuse for a day out.

Cheers!

If anyone who has complained about the NEC show is considering going then don't! It's the poor relation with less bikes on show, fewer trade stands and crap parking.

and FREE parking for bikes / not in Birmingham - two advantages straightaway ;)
KTM 1290 Super Adventure T - Power!
KTM 690 Enduro R - lighter to pick up
Husqvarna Svartpilen 401 - Fun.

Even our dogs are orange.

Going Sunday, not got great expectations for show. It's only on in support if Triathlon and Bike show. Iv not seen much advertising for show.
Hopefully it will surprise me.

:lol: (thumbs)

I've always prefered the London show to the NEC
I went to the NEC last year and was really disappointed.
If the London show is rubbish at least it's only 30 miles away.
leaving in about 30 mins for Excel, I'll let ya know tonight if it was worth it

Thought sod it - lets go. Got there by 10.10, home by 1.00.

Decidedly underwhelmed. Yamaha / Triumph roadsters / brat trackers / retro nakeds look good, eye wateringly expensive Ducati's, Africa Twin (make up your own mind), Superduke GT looks good, but £16K+ ffs. Usual array of tat stalls and last years stock.

Might save my pennies for Milan in November (much better show).

Well we just got back.
Thoroughly enjoyed it.
Must admit the main Players were a bit sparse.
Liked the look of the new CCM 450, not much else floated my boat.
Got a new helmet and a pair of kevlar jeans at a good price.
Will defo go again next year,
