Nice tasters there. Looking forward to seeing the Bimotas and MVs . They have not been there for quite a few years.

Stunningly good photography (as usual Jack
) but the only bikes that I actually like the look of are the MV & the Thruxton

new GSXR1000. Do like the lines on this though the headlight is a bit strange.

Suzuki Vinales Motogp bike
Look how slim the swingarm is. Its barely thicker than the width of a chain. Must weight sweet FA.

One for Kwacky. Triumph have been forced to make a slightly different shit silver lever for the Thruxton as it has a Brembo m/c.
Aprilia seem to have bought some levers off Triumph too.

Really fancy a Hypermotard SP one day.
And i actually quite like the 959 Akra aftermarket cans. Not dissimilar to the exhaust on the Aprilia Motogp bike.

Probably my fave bike there was the yamaha R1 Endurance race bike. The attention to detail on these i stunning. Everything is made for speed whilst in the pits.
Brembo Monoblocks with handy attachemnets to hold the caliper. Quick release fittings everywhere.
And an oil filler that works on pressure so no need to remove any cap. Thrust it in, refill and pull out.

Last few.
I do really like the Mvs and asked about a test ride on the Veloce. The guy on the stand said it was no problem and he would go and find the nearest dealer but he didn't even bother coming back to me there whilst i stood waiting which is a worry really.
The F3 800 is a stunner and feels lovely sat on it.
Would quite like to have been sat on this too.
Veloce.
Another F3.

And finally the KTM Superduke 1290 GT.
Lovely bike and a proper sports/touring bike i suspect. Its not cheap though even if its well specc'd.

Oh and one final one for the commuter. Think the accessories may be useful in traffic.
