The recently announced Carole Nash Motorcycle Live event has clearly captured the imagination of the world's biggest and best motorcycle manufacturers with the organisers announcing today that a record number of brands will be exhibiting this year. No fewer than 30 manufacturers have now confirmed to attend the all-new event running from 27th November to 5th December at Birmingham’s National Exhibition Centre. The event will see participation from all major motorcycle brands, including iconic British firms Norton and Triumph.

The London Motorcycle Show will host the UK launch of the 2010 Ducati model range as the bright lights of the capital city illuminates an eagerly awaited line-up that includes the hugely anticipated Multistrada 1200. The Ducati stand will showcase the full 2010 range including UK debuts for the Multistrada 1200 Touring, Hypermotard 1100 Evo, 848 Dark, 1198s Corse, Monster 696 ABS and Monster 1100 ABS.

Thanks to the adverse weather conditions we are currently experiencing the organisers of the forthcoming Manchester Bike Show have had to postpone the event for the time being, contrary to other sites reporting it has been totally abandoned we have heard the event is hoped to be be reorganised for April 2010.

Fresh back from this years motorcycle show in London and rested after a very long couple of days I am pleased to report that there is a decent day out to be had - especially if you are a punter looking for a bargain! The main focus in this event does seem to be more trader oriented which is great when so many of you reported high prices at last years NEC and a lack of trade stalls offering a decent range.

We managed to take a few pics for you at this years show, more to follow shortly as our photographer goes round as well, see some of the bikes, babes and products on display for you. Click the images to view the respective galleries (new window) - new items added 29th

And are you going is the question??? Well for a lot of us the NEC Motorcycle Show offers a glimpse into the delights of 2010, new models and products, gizmos and gadgets and of course the promo girls.. who doesn't like them eh! While 2009 has seen a downsizing by certain manufacturers the show is set to be a stormer with launches aplenty.
