London Bike Show 2008

Hey is anybody from the forum going to this one?

I have bought tickets to London and also to the show. Have never been there is it good?


It takes place from 31st of January till 3rd February

Do you know what KTM will show there?

I might go to this. I always used to go to the Ally Pally show. It's a good place to pick up a few bargains like leathers, lids etc.

I'm going, my GF bought me tix for xmas! We're going on the friday. We went last year, it was actually a bit disappointing...the stunt show was ok...the sale items were ok, but only KTM and Honda bothered to take along bikes and open a stand!

This year though, all the majors are gonna be there...the RC8 will be there too which is why I'm going I wont bother with the stunt show as it's the same guy doing it and it wasnt worth the hour queueing, will look at cool bikes and try and get some freebie stickers n shit

Excel is a good venue, easy to access and with ok food stalls etc. I hope they use more of the venue this year, it could be MASSIVE if they used it ALL !!

I went last year and it was crap. Sorry, but it was. Hardly any stands and I'd walked round it in 30mins. Not a patch on the NEC. Luckily I didn't pay to go in, I thought I'd chance my luck and just walk in and it worked nobody stopped me... in both arenas. Give it a go.
I'll go and try the same technique again this year (just to see, sit on and figure if the RC8 could be the next bike for me), it better be worth the visit or i'll demand a refund for my free entry!!

Tis true, I went last year too, it was absolute crap, wouldn't bother going again! Hope it's a LOT better this time round!

Sorry to be no help, but I too went last year purely to look at a 2007 SD; just as well as the rest of the show was a waste of time and entrance fee.
I hope they have got their act together for this year
