    It's an ok show if you didn't get to the NEC and probably not bad for a bargain sometimes with vendors on crash helmets leathers etc when business has been slow after Christmas

    Went a few years ago, not overly impressed but perhaps because I couldn't get what I wanted, but maybe worth going this year just to see the new Blade and Gsxr.

    Yes, same feeling out of the london show. I still prefer the NEC though as it is bigger and with more bikes on show.

    Went yesterday for the first time but thought it wasn't up to much, got a bargain on a lid so worth the journey but probably won't go again

    But when you factor in train travel and ticket cost did you still get a bargain?

    If I factor in train and entry for 2people and lunch I still saved over 250 quid.
