Motorbike Show

[Kingy]

Anyone know why Suzuki are not present at the motorbike show?

[red98]

i was wondering that as well....seams no one else knows either  :\

[Boris]

It took me a while before the penny dropped that Suzuki weren't at the show. They're probably saving their pennies so they can return to Motogp. :lol

Ha ha, yeah seemed odd. My mate was looking for a new bike, come May he will have the cash, but it won;t be going their way for sure.

On the way up I said to him about the new Triumph Tiger Sport, he bloody loved it, so did I, could have spent his money for him.

I fell in love with the BMW K1300S, liked them already but sitting on it had me!

I tried the Tiger Sport out for size felt good a a nice looking bike

at risk of sounding like a know it all i have a mate in the know  .. they decided to save the budget for a bike launch later in the year.
A stand at the show was in the region of £20k for the weekend...

Was a good show but where were all the scantily clad young ladies?
Was also surprised that there was no sign of the Fazer 1000 - they had the 800 but no 1000?

Enjoyed the little show

[Kingy]

Hmmm have to agree not enough ladies and the last time I went to one of these cam away with a few Goodie bags too.

I bought some Goodridge brake lines and a Renthal handle bar for £95. So with the £16 on petrol, £5 parking, £20 to get in, £6for a bite to eat and £5 for a pint so all in all I'm quids in.
Although had a great chat with Mark White and Emma Franklin fron Performance Bikes and chew the fat with Hugo Wilson from Bike so not a complete waste of time.

Me too. I considered the previous version, but couldnt stand its shunted up the rear looks.

Guess its because the 800 has been updated, albeit only slightly.

No Aprilia Caponord 1200 was strange, considering it was at the NEC and is a new model.
No Suzuki or Norton.

Do they see the London show as not worth the effort just for a weekend and not so many customers as the NEC show, or was there another show elsewhere in Europe?
