Although google didn't find it, I had to go via the NEC's own site. HTH. Thumbs Up

I still go in the hope that it will improve and also if you don't support it you may lose it.

Went two years ago, wasn't impressed.

Not enough bikes, not enough freebies, not enough interesting stalls etc etc.

Oh and it was quite expensive. Thumbs Down

I'll go for an excuse to look at bikes and be in A gigantic room full of bikes.

Wow, £17 quid I think it was last year, when I look forward to it every year.

Missed last year, as the previous year it was a big let down. Now i have my big bike i'll go just for a day trip out, only an hour down the M6 for me Thumbs Up

Needs more girls and more freebies/bargains for sure!

The entry fee is exspensive but i bet the NEC is very exspensive to hire!

I'm used to the Mountain bike ones which are equally poor recently, seems with the internet being such a massive resource bike shows have less potential.

Never gonna happen, usually the Italian stuff is missing from the NEC IIRC.

This years show has its own face book page https://www.facebook.com/motorcyclelive?v=wall
It has a list of Manufacturers who will be there, looks like Honda are back after missing last years show.
If you look at the floor plan it seems they have spread out the bike manufacturers stands in different halls instead of having them all together in one like the last few years.

I'll be off.

Got free tickets last year, so it cost me nothing. Wife and kids loved it.

My 3 year old ran from bike to bike, jumping on them and got lots of attention from the promotional girls. Laughing

I'll be going as I haven't been for a couple of years.
Honda and Ducati are supposed to be back this year, but mainly going to go for a good look at the Norton.

I wanna go, but it's a 5 hour journey on my 125.... 3 hours if I get my full licence out the way and go on the motorways. Smile

You should have gone last year, all they had was Shark helmets and Muck Off.

Apparently this year most of the manufacturers are there, was planning on making it my first and heading down on the bike, but it looks unlikely right now

Would like to go but funds won't allow Sad Went last year, was pretty good. Mainly want to go as you need to keep supporting these things else they wither and die ! Plus close up of women with nice boots is a bonus.

Might see if I can scrape something together but unlikely.
