With any show like this there are going to be things you want to see and others you do not, fortunately though there is a good balance between all the areas of motorcycling that will offer a nice variation throughout the day - I actually found myself trying on a load of cruisers for size which goes against my sportbike disposition but hey what the hell right? You have Aprilia and BMW with nice new models that seemed to attract a lot of visitors, Triumph's street triple always seemed to have someone on its back and it was nice to see a decent range from kawasaki too. One thing that did confuse us was the second arena for the Supercross events, we only really registered after we had left that we had not stopped in and did not really notice any signs point out where and when the shows were due to start, we later found out that it is over near the food area (perhaps we were a little distracted by the MCN Babe of the Year stuff happening on the stage)
All in all though, the show is worth a look around if you are trying to bag a bargain or two prior to the new riding season, plenty of kit is on sale at reduced prices and with plenty to choose from you can afford to spend the day chatting and haggling your way through them all, tickets to the show cost £18 on the door for an adult and food prices are actually not too bad (for London anyway) so get there early on and get your money's worth.
