The annual national motorcycle show at the NEC is a great opportunity to
see all the new bikes and to dream about what would fill our garages if we
ever won the lottery... This year's show was no exception, although with
Tracy still housebound, I had to go with a mate from work - Chris - who wore
his orange tee-shirt so he'd match the KTM he'd already taken a liking to...
|
|
|
|
Chris's first stop - the KTM stand and the Super Duke... I had to remind him that riding whilst using a hand-held mobile phone was now illegal...
|
|
|
|
The reason for the orange tee-shirt... KTM's new RC8 superbike gets Chris' approval...
|
|
|
|
Paul tries BMW's new F800GS - a new adventure bike and a real bargain... hmmm....
|
|
|
|
Now that's a bike I'd like... Valentino Rossi's MotoGP Yamaha M1...
|
|
|
|
But as Rossi's bike is not for sale, perhaps one of these would be more appropriate... the gorgeous Ducati Desmosedici RR... a road-legal MotoGP bike!
|
|
|
|
Isn't it lovely... and just £40,000... where's my cheque book?
|
|
|
|
Chris tries the RC8 for size (again...)...
|
|
|
|
Chris tries the R1200GS Adventure... suits you, sir!
|
|
|
|
|
|
The BMW F800GS without the madding crowds... just £6700... hmm...
|
|
|
|
And it looks lovely in silver too...
