Thanks Guys great looking at what I could never afford 😂😂 Sadly I am so old I can remember bike shows in Earls Court and coming home with a carrier bag of brochures. Probably be worth a fortune now.
Hi Simon & Thanks for showing us around the CF Moto stand,most bike vloggers totally ignore the VFM bike brands but focus on the Big well known brands. Not all bikers have deep pockets & can afford to pay their eye watering asking prices. Just a shame CF Moto didn’t have the long awaited 450 MT on display.
Thanks for the comment John. I agree with you and I do intend to make this channel about all bikes including affordable. I’m just about to test 3 adventure bikes out in India that might be of interest. Ride safe. 👍
I’ve got a demo bike test ride booked on the New RE Himalayan 450 at my local dealer in Yorkshire when one becomes available,hoping this bike is included in your group test when your away.
Hi great vid but wouldn't bet on there being a excel show next year and if government get there way in UK a compulsory resit test at 65 might just see the beginning of the end of bikes in uk with the massive fail rate of new riders already
I do thinks the future of bikes is doomed in the uk. If you look at the demographics the people with most money to spend is the over 65s, and the younger generation are floating about on electric scooters, so they will never buy a motorbike. After speaking to a guy at the London show he was saying you can’t get insurance on some bikes because of theft, which is also a massive problem in the uk and if you do a re test then a lot won’t help the situation.
@davefish8107 well I'm 67 rode 16000 miles last year and more planned this year use it or loose it its the same for rideing how's the saying goes ride hard die free
I would personally say NEC it’s bigger and more local for me. London cost me at least £400 to go with hotel travel ect, but il still do both again next year. 😂
Many thanks. I’ve just recently been using the DJI Pocket 3 camera. It’s been working ok but the only downside it the maximum fps is 60 And sometimes I need more to slow the fotage down more. So I end up filming really slowly at times.
@@thatbikersimon mate I was thinking it was possibly a Sony or Fujifilm camera so fair play, that DJi pocket is a powerhouse in a little pocket size device! Doing next level Wheelie School in April after watching one of your videos BTW!
@@sweet-triple-UK if you buy one get the combi kit with the extras it’s worth having. Wheelie school is a great day out il be going again this year for my 3rd visit. It’s addictive.. 👍🏍️💨💨💨
Motorcycle shows are fading away in the USA. Such a shame. New York City use to be THE bike show on the East Coast. Love the new Suzuki 1000GT+ Sport Touring and the Goldwing DCT Tour.
That’s a realy shame. We are lucky in the uk especially where I live in the middle of the country it’s not far in any direction. Why have they stopped ?
@@thatbikersimon Well, they still do it, once a year, but it shrinks every year more and more. Before Covid era, it was big. After, just faded away. Maybe the number of people showing up went down. Dealers do more and more open houses with demo and food. I just stopped going.
@@alp3781 I’ve seen this more at the dealerships, covid definitely changed peoples ways but you never know it might just bounce back. After all the man need a good excuse to get out the house. 👍🏍️💨💨😂
@@thatbikersimon You guys are and I love London, when visited with my wife. She is from Forrest Hills, I need to time it right, next time, so we can attend one in the UK.
These adventure bikes don't make any sense to me, the only reason i can see why they are so popular is because they are literally like sofas with all the comforts, would anybody really take such a flashy and expensive bike offroad to potentially drop? lets be real they are mostly commuter machines for people who want the conveniences of a car on a bike
I guess the big adventure bike world has been competing over BHP and fancy electronics. People generally use them as a tourer. Even middle weight adventure bikes are heavy after dropping it. I’m out on test over the next couple of weeks so hopefully I can put some videos into perspective for riders.
The same way a car driver buys a 500 thousand - 1 million dollar car that's capable of racing on the track, people buy these ADV bikes not necessarily for what they will do, but what they can do. Remember the the sportbike craze? How many of those sportbike riders with the low handlebars actually took their bikes to the track? They bought those bikes for looks and what the bike was capable of doing. After a couple of hours of riding, you had to pull over and get off just to get blood circulation back in your wrists and bum. 19:03
Sports bikes are dead. I'm tall and the adventure models suit me better as I have back problems. Only a dope would take a bike weighing 250kgs off road......I have a CRF 300 Rally for that stuff.
@@Jungleland33 a manageable bike adventure bike is the KTM 890R it’s still a big bike perfect for taller people but with low down weight so it’s very balanced. It’s one I’ve test road and now considering. I just wish I was a couple of inches taller
No...I was at the show in February too...I had to go around twice to confirm no Honda..I thought it was my poor eyesight in my old age.. disgraceful the Worlds largest motorcycle manufacturer couldn't come to an arrangement with the organisers..I only ride Hondas since the early 90's..so it's particularly relevant to me.....anyway..I got to see the hero of the Isle of Man TT Peter Hickman and speak a few words to him and have my photo taken together..starstruck at my age..my single thought of that moment was Don't mention Michael Dunlop whatever I say..I said I'll watch your next video on TH-cam..safe enough words..

The build quality seems alright for the money. It’s not a full on sports bike set up, you sit more up right. Il do a ride & review as soon as I get my hands on one. I sat on that many bikes over the day I can’t get a real perspective on it just yet. 👍
@@thatbikersimonYes, that's a shame Honda are not there again. I visited last year for the first time at Excel, and was very disappointed, but your review, among many others here, is all we really need, and from the comfort of our armchair!

I went there on the Sunday and it's a disappointment! Where was Ducati? Honda and other major brands? I wasted £20+ for a mediocre exhibition. Next time, I'll travel to Motorcycle Live in Birmingham!
Royal Enfield proudly Indian bikes in London most affordable and best bikes from India to London , i have new Himalayan 450 it's a wonderful bike for off-road n long distance travels comes with Slipper clutch n assist as stock . Another is Meteor 650 cc cruiser and Continental GT / Interceptor . Why you didn't told the prices , features of RE . You describe everything of KTM bikes which are always on hire prices from RE . Why discrimination with Indians
Jaisi...Affordable bikes from Royal Enfield India..I just wish I wasn't so poor that I could actually afford one..all I can afford is very second hand ex Pizza shop rejects Honda ANF125 Innovas..wow..tatty old 2010 rusty runabout..but is has Fuel Injection..I can't complain at owning a bike that's technically advanced beyond a carburettor..125MPG/29MPL and almost 10 Brake HorsePower..but I'd love 350 Meteor or a 350 Classic..except for the oversize exhausts when I stood next to them..
Hi Simon Great stream . When are you on the road again and where are you going mate . Looking forwards to more streams as always . Thanks. 👍👍👍👍Love the MT10 but your review of the MT07 was great. Now that new Busa god if only i wasnt 64.That Norton stand . Beautifull bikes.Dont like the Shotgun but the new Hym looks nice.The flying pigeon is another new british bike LOL
Hi Buddy. I’m off to India tomorrow and shooting some fotage on the New Himalayan/ktm 390 adventure & the triumph 400x . I get to ride all 3 over 10 days so should have some good videos to bring to the channel. I’m might use the flying pigeon to get over there. Thanks again for the support 👍🏍️💨💨💨
Drugs are bad m'kay. Whatever these manufacturers are smoking cannot be good for humanity. As for the prices, Cf moto well done , Enfield ,,, the classic maybe ..Triumph the thruxton , but not at that price Good luck bike industry you will need it
The amount of electronic on the bike doesn’t help the price. A lot of bikes Are putting electronic suspension on as standard which bumps the price up, which I don’t think it necessary. Back to basics.
O went there Saturday Wont go again Horrible rip off food All the sellers were selling 3 year old gear ,dont buy a painting from the motorsport art stand Went 2 years ago still waiting for it to be delivered We confronted the bloke a dark hair cockney with glasses ,on no it weren't me It was anover geezer. Not many will go back next year . Although Charlie & Henry were awsome
That’s a reall shame. I didn’t have any food so I can’t comment and that’s not good about the painting guy. I guess for stands selling clothing it’s hard to compete with the internet and pay for a stall. It was really busy on Sunday and I felt a good vibe but you’ve obviously had a different experience to me. Thanks for the comment it will help others be awake of issues. 👍
That’s a shame I felt it was a good vibe about the place but then again I’m busy filming. It’s the cost of travel and hotel ect for me which is expensive
New tank, seat, bar height, peg position, suspension, switchgear, brakes, steering head angle, headlight, rear light, airbox. Other than the frame and engine, it's pretty much all new.
But in some ways that’s unique to them. I guess you either like them or not. I’ve never riden one but thier suppose to be really different to any other bike. My next video is showing a more close up look. I like the v4cr 👍🏍️💨💨💨
@@thatbikersimon yes you are right, definitely unique, bit of a blast from the past, but the modern design is far more severe design. The shorter leg it would suit. I do prefer the more modern warp round design, especially when cornering 🫣😂👍
Hello mate; I am here since the other shows you posted before. I mentioned that you look a like a guy from a band,,,anyway; Yamaha for sure sharpened the pencil of their designers, looks pretty better than previous years. No one of those models here BMW new line looks enhanced too. KTM always cool and powerful. HD too big but nice. Triumph always fine. Strange about Honda. What about MV Agusta; Husqvarna? I have a Triumph thruxton r. Thank you
Hi, yes I remember you. Honda & Ducati where no shows. MV had a couple of bikes but I ran out of time over the day. I know there’s a lot of disappointment with this show some general feelings, but it did feel like a nice vibe and always better to leave the house for the day and experience it for yourselves. But yea I agree with you. Triumph seem to be very popular across the board with there bikes, such a diversity and cater for all.
Vi måtte ikke se Yamaha i Copenhagen , why not ??, yes aldrig købe Yamaha , man kan heller ikke få en prøvetur på denne i DK, hvorfor ikke Yamaha er lidt upperclass ..........kom med et svar Yamaha..............
Maybe it’s just me but I thought the show was a big disappointment. Half the size of previous years, not all manufacturers there, £30 entry and £25 to park and the usual food stalls ripping everyone off. I won’t hurry back
@@thatbikersimonWhy are the shows in Cologne and Milan much cheaper, possibly even the show in Paris. NEC is a rip off as well, terrible and expensive food.
@@jeanjacques9980 food is always bad at any event. I take my own lunch. The hotel I had at the nec at £60 a night the hotel I paid at the excel was £180 plus £30 for the car park & congestion charge, this show is a expensive one for me to attend, I would like to try some overseas events this year.
@@thatbikersimon That’s incredibly expensive for an extremely disappointing exhibition, you were robbed, go to Milan with “Mr GrumpyAir’ and have a lovely long weekend. I haven’t visited Excel or NEC for years, everything about the London show seems to be tacky and about extracting as much cash as possible from the visitors, the charge per square foot for exhibitors is probably eye watering. I’ll stick with the continental bike exhibitions and have a pleasant holiday at the same time. I’m able to drive to Cologne in 8-9 hours from home and an entry fee of 5€ for OAP. Can you imagine either NEC or London show charging £4.25 for OAPs? The food at the Milan show is superior to anything at Excel and NEC, not bad at Cologne either, can’t compare value for money as I haven’t visited U.K. shows for years, not even free tickets would entice me to attend the London show. The BMW bike festival in Garmisch partenkirchen is exceptionally good value if BMWs tickle your fancy, other brand festivals are available.

Great Vid, but missed the BSA stand
I can’t remember if the bsa stand was there or not. Apology’s if I missed it out.
Good tour. Great range of bikes. Lot of techie stuff there but personally I think the Norton stand stole the show! They look pretty classy

👍 I’m just out in India test riding one at the moment. So I will have some videos coming out soon.
This show should never have been moved from Alley Palley. The atmosphere there was unreal
I remember those days. I guess the problem is now with the likes of the internet. Everyone already knows everything and nothings a secret anymore.
High, the Triumph-bikes look like one generation further, but in miss a single-cylinder with 700 cc. Kindly Fiete
Yes a beast of a bike. I’m currently out testing the Triumph in India. 👍
Wish you'd covered the bikes by Chinese manufacturers too. There are some very cool bikes coming out of China
I’ve got some coming to the Channel this year so stay tuned. 👍

Hi great vid but wouldn't bet on there being a excel show next year and if government get there way in UK a compulsory resit test at 65 might just see the beginning of the end of bikes in uk with the massive fail rate of new riders already
I do thinks the future of bikes is doomed in the uk. If you look at the demographics the people with most money to spend is the over 65s, and the younger generation are floating about on electric scooters, so they will never buy a motorbike.

I stopped riding a couple of weeks ago at 65 years old, started riding my bike like an old man, so I thought I should call it a day.

One question of you could only visit one show a year, would it be brum or London ?

Great selection of wonderful bike, but the Nortons have the worst tanks ever designed, so odd sitting on the bike with long legs with that design.
But in some ways that’s unique to them. I guess you either like them or not. I’ve never riden one but thier suppose to be really different to any other bike. My next video is showing a more close up look. I like the v4cr 👍🏍️💨💨💨
@@thatbikersimon yes you are right, definitely unique, bit of a blast from the past, but the modern design is far more severe design. The shorter leg it would suit. I do prefer the more modern warp round design, especially when cornering 🫣😂👍
Hello mate; I am here since the other shows you posted before. I mentioned that you look a like a guy from a band,,,anyway; Yamaha for sure sharpened the pencil of their designers, looks pretty better than previous years. No one of those models here BMW new line looks enhanced too. KTM always cool and powerful. HD too big but nice. Triumph always fine. Strange about Honda. What about MV Agusta; Husqvarna? I have a Triumph thruxton r. Thank you
Hi, yes I remember you. Honda & Ducati where no shows. MV had a couple of bikes but I ran out of time over the day. I know there’s a lot of disappointment with this show some general feelings, but it did feel like a nice vibe and always better to leave the house for the day and experience it for yourselves. But yea I agree with you. Triumph seem to be very popular across the board with there bikes, such a diversity and cater for all.
.........anything smaller than a barge on two wheels....?
plenty of bikes there, and some barges 😂👍
The worse show I have ever been to 1 hour and it’s done
It’s not the biggest but apart from the nec there’s not much choice
Vi måtte ikke se Yamaha i Copenhagen , why not ??, yes aldrig købe Yamaha , man kan heller ikke få en prøvetur på denne i DK, hvorfor ikke Yamaha er lidt upperclass ..........kom med et svar Yamaha..............
Interesting, I don’t know why that is
Maybe it’s just me but I thought the show was a big disappointment. Half the size of previous years, not all manufacturers there, £30 entry and £25 to park and the usual food stalls ripping everyone off.
I won’t hurry back
It’s not a big show like the NEC but I felt there was a good atmosphere. Isn’t everything in London expensive.
@@thatbikersimonWhy are the shows in Cologne and Milan much cheaper, possibly even the show in Paris. NEC is a rip off as well, terrible and expensive food.
@@jeanjacques9980 food is always bad at any event. I take my own lunch. The hotel I had at the nec at £60 a night the hotel I paid at the excel was £180 plus £30 for the car park & congestion charge, this show is a expensive one for me to attend, I would like to try some overseas events this year.
@@thatbikersimon That’s incredibly expensive for an extremely disappointing exhibition, you were robbed, go to Milan with “Mr GrumpyAir’ and have a lovely long weekend. I haven’t visited Excel or NEC for years, everything about the London show seems to be tacky and about extracting as much cash as possible from the visitors, the charge per square foot for exhibitors is probably eye watering. I’ll stick with the continental bike exhibitions and have a pleasant holiday at the same time. I’m able to drive to Cologne in 8-9 hours from home and an entry fee of 5€ for OAP. Can you imagine either NEC or London show charging £4.25 for OAPs? The food at the Milan show is superior to anything at Excel and NEC, not bad at Cologne either, can’t compare value for money as I haven’t visited U.K. shows for years, not even free tickets would entice me to attend the London show. The BMW bike festival in Garmisch partenkirchen is exceptionally good value if BMWs tickle your fancy, other brand festivals are available.
@@jeanjacques9980 thanks for the info. I’m on it ✈️👍
