Thanks for showing us around at this year's NEC Motorcycle 2024. It's been a long while. Since, I went to the NEC. It was back in 2000. When I last visited the show.
Glad you like them, I certainly do.......I think these 30k bikes are obsene and the big boys will certainly need to watch their backs. That goes for the car market too.....thanks again for watching
PMSL....''this is quite a big chap on it now'' lol it was loftysaltmarsh....sorry would have been nice to chat, unfortuntely, you know me and I dont know you🙂🙃😉😊
Hi Lofty I can't believe you didn't mention the bargain of the show............the new Hornet 1000 ! What did you think of it ? The red looked amazing but I think the SP with the extra kit has to be the one? Gav
That was interesting lofty, thanks. It's quite a bit of brass for me to go to the show from where i live and tbh i'm glad i didnt bother by the sound of it. I'm quite interested in that new honda nt though, i hope you get one early to review.
Zontes, Voge, Benda, Morbidelli just 4 names we willsee a lot more of in 2025/26 UK, legacy manufacturers need to step up, quite liked the look of Benda LFC 700 inline 4 cruiser with mad 310mm rear tyre due April and also the Napoleon Bob 500 at under 6k looks a steal.
T See you again soon i hope hanks for the mention mate i looked quite youthfull from the distance lol Nice to catch up with you for a coffee. i found it a bit too busy to film much
@@korazon3spinado modern day bikers are obsessed with bigger is better and size and power is seen as an up grade!....for most I would suggest a sub 200kg, 700cc bike of 70 bhp would be be sufficient for most situations....thanks for Watching
You missed the main Fantic...500 now comes with an all Italian engine, a twin cam...the Chinese engines are no more! P.S; That 800cc Triumph is a replacement for the original Tracer 900,that cost me £7495 in 2018,with that cheap clock, probably worth no more than £8495?
That's great news the Italian putting an Italian made 500 engine in their bike, they are promoting the 700 has their flagship model....I do agree the 800 sport although finished far better than the original Tracer is very pricey for it's tech. Compared to the Zontes, it looks old-fashioned.....thanks for watching
@theloftybiker3090 No problem Sir...took my original Tracer 900 over the Alps from France into Italy, using Sheep/Goat trails...can't see the Triumph doing that?
Great show, can’t help but feel Chinese bikes are going to do to all manufacturers the same thing Japanese bikes did to British bikes. Ruin them because they didn’t take them seriously and didn’t move with times. People don’t want to pay a fortune for extras and massive servicing costs. We will see!
Excellent video.The Zontes stand was impressive.👍

Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for showing us some different bikes lofty, enjoyed it and like you said these Chinese bikes are really something for the price.

The Hornet 1000 was there last year. Yes, it's a steal at 10k for the SP....still waiting for it to arrive......thanks for watching
Thanks for the tour - I’m afraid modern bikes are just not doing it for me - I think it means I’m now properly old at 60
@@colinrhodes1838 never too old, I love any powered 2 wheelers, petrol or EV........bikes or scooters, any size any age.....thanks for watching

Too right......but I have got to say the Benda is not a good name for a bike😂
Been waiting for this one😁

No worries Ive, always good to catch up and chew the fat...keep safe
So many bikes seem impractical for real world riding

I'm nearly sure I'll be upgrading my 2024 DCT for the EERA model. Definitely in blue. Did they cover the wires under the dash lol.
Me too, mine has 27k miles on and will have plenty more by March😂 thanks for watching
