[Music] Hi everybody and welcome back to the channel and welcome to Motorcycle Live 2025 where we’re here to show you what’s new for 2026. Let’s go and check it out. Right, as we’re next to the Jucati stand, we thought we’ll come and check out some of the bikes on this one. And already opening day Saturday at the NEC, the motorcycle live. It is already busy. So we’re now on the fifth generation of the Monster. Like I said, this one’s got the V2 engine, 890cc. Very similar power output to the tester engine that was in the previous version. Let’s take a quick look. So, we’ve got 111 brake horsepower. Like I said, very similar to the older one. I think it’s about 94 Newton meters of torque. Says in 175 kilos, quite light, and also 850 mm in seat height. So, Amy B’s just been sitting on the new monster. Yeah. How’s it feel? Can you get your feet down? Lower seat height 815 mm. No, I can’t touch the floor. You can’t touch the floor. I think you can also get a lower seat on these bikes. So, on the board it says it’s £12,295 for the Monster Plus. I’m not actually sure if this is the Monster Plus because I think the Monster Plus comes with a rear seat cal and also like a fly screen on the front. So, I think that might be the standard one which is slightly cheaper. It’s about 11 12,000. Still a lot of money, but you’re getting a quality bike for that. Right over here, we’ve got the new Chicati Hyper Motor. This is the SP version. Let’s go check out this bike. First up is the Chicati Hyper Mopar V2 SP. This is an 890cc and it has 120 brake horsepower and 94 Newton me of torque. Tell us all about the hyper motor. It’s the first time I’ve seen it in the flesh. Beautiful looking bike. Uh being the SP, it’s got things like that only suspension. Um it is at a premium price though. Um it’s £3,800 more than the stock one. Yeah. Uh it’s £7,295. It’s a lot of money, but I do think you’re getting a lot of bike with Jucati. They are premium bikes. They are. And tell us what you said about the torque on this bike. Yeah. So apparently the 70% of the torque comes in at 3,000 RPM, which is really low. So I think when you get on that gas, this thing’s going to fly. It’s going to fly. I think the 94 Newton meters of torque with 120 brake horsepower. It tells you everything about how the bike will deliver the power, but what you told me earlier about the seat height might put some people off. Yeah. So, as you can see, Ruby Ruby’s sat on the seat here, but it’s it’s it’s 880 mil. Um, got one tip toe is on the taller side. And and what what’s your height? I’m 5’4 with the 28 in size. Okay. So, but but it’s quite a slim seat though, ain’t it? So, even being perhaps a shorter rider, you can still adapt well. Yeah. So, a lot of people get put off with that people. It would, but you got to sit on it and for yourself, ain’t you really? And I’m guessing the weight of it is that much. So, it’ll be easy to kind of weight shop and manage it. As as far as I know, let me just check the board there. But, I think we’re 177 kilos wet weight. I don’t think that’s I don’t think that’s including fuel. So, it’s a real manageable weight as well. Good weight. coming up anyway. Uh and also I love the indicators in the hands master. I don’t know how to pronounce that exhaust. Ter that’s an easy way exhaust. Unfortunately with the Turmy exhaust that is an extra. You don’t get that with the SP. It’s going to cost another 2,200 even on the SP. Even on the SP. But if you have the exhaust that will give you another three brake horsepower. It’s 4 kilos lighter. another 5 Newton me of torque. So, you get a little bit more power, but and it looks cool. It’s going to sound nice as well. Sound nice. And finally, it’s fitted out with boner suspension, which I think Yeah, it really does set it off well. What you need um I think on on the road, it’s nice to have that premium suspension to have your back. I think I think with like all Jucatis, if if if you’re going to go buy one, then me personally, I’d spend that bit more. Just get the SP, you know, if you’re in in for a penny, in for a pound. But yeah, as you can see, it is really getting busy now at Motorcycle Live. And also, we’ve got the the Panagali V2S. It’s not a new bike for 2026, but it’s a new color. What do you think of that, Amy May? I do like a yellow bike. Let’s have a look over here because this is another new bike for 2026. It’s the Jucati Desert X. Again, they’ve changed the engine to the V2. Looking at the Desert X, looks quite a bit compact. I mean, it really is a groundup different bike. and uh super looking forward to trying one of those out. Just talking to the guys with the VR that run the the off-road course in Wales at Sweet Lamb. I’m definitely going to do a weekend with them on that new bike. That looks a superb bit of gear. It’s probably going to be a bit lower on weight. Uh it’s probably going to be around sort of 114 brake horsepower, although we ain’t got the true figures on it yet. Maybe about 94 new meters of torque. Right, so that was the Jucati stand again. Super busy over there. Just over here we’ve got Yamaha. Let’s go take a look. On the front here, we’ve got all the Yamaha Tenno A700s. And uh yes, they’ve already made significant changes in 2025 to some of these models. So, right behind me is the new Yamaha R seven. It’s got that 698cc engine, that CP2. So, new for 2026, they’ve had the chassis revised. It’s had a new swing arm, up and down, quick shifter, and ride by wire throttle, which means it’s now got some riding modes like rain, street, and sport, and a couple of custom modes. So, this bike was also launched at Ike when they didn’t have the price. How much is it here? It’s 9,700. So, AB has just jumped on the bike because the sea height is now 830 mil where it was previously 835. Can you get your feet down? That is the question. She’s on the the tippy toes there. And the weight on the bike is 189 kilos. 189 kilos, which is actually 1 kilo heavier than his predecessor. I like this color. Anniversary white. Yeah, beautiful color. There’s also icon blue and tech black. We’ve also got some nice trick bits on the bike as well. And again, I think Yamaha have done a great job with this bike. It’s still only at 72 horsepower, which is a little bit, you know, I think they could squeeze a bit more out this bike, but I know in 2028, they’re going to be using this engine in the Moto 3 bikes, which going to be about 94 brake horsepower. So, if we could get a bit more out of this one, I think it would suit this category rather well. But again, £9,700 for the new Yamaha R seven. We’ve also got a bike that’s covered up which is probably going to be uh shown a little bit later on. So, I’m guessing something special with that GY TR. We’ve also got a new livery on the Yamaha XSR 900 GP bike that looks beautiful again in the yellow. Seems to be a popular color so far for the manufacturers. Yes. So, we are battling our way through here. Like I said, super busy on the opening Saturday at Motorcycle Live. Next to the Yamaha stand, we’ve got BSA. And I’ve heard they’ve got a bike on air I’m really interested in seeing. So, right behind me here, we’ve got the BSA, the Thunderbolt. This is the new concept bike for 2026. First thoughts, it looks absolutely brilliant. If the bike ends up looking like that when they bring it into production, I think they’re on to a winner. So, the engine that they put in this bike is a 334cc liquid cooled single cylinder that they use in the Bansom 350. It’s about 30 horsepower and about 30 N meters of torque. So, it kind of sits in between, let’s say, the Himalayan 411 and the Himalayan 450. It looks like it’s going to be 185 kilos in weight. We’ve got a 21 in front wheel and a 17in rear. And I think that seat high 815 mil. It’s going to make it accessible for shorter riders. This looks like it’s going to be a great starter bike. You’re going to be hitting them trails. And normally with BSA as well, they come in at a cracking price. There’s no price on this one today. We’ll find out later next year. Right, AB, where are we going next? Honda over to the Honda stand. So, the bike line right behind me, another concept bike. It’s the new Honda VPR eco compressor 900cc. You’re the man I need to talk to because really, what understanding this bike? So, V3, am I right in saying is it kind of like a parallel twin at the front and a single cylinder at the back? Exactly. And then we’ve got like the deco compressor. Does that suck air into the engine? Yes. is electronic compressor. So just like the top top end of the engine uh on there. Um so yeah, that’s always going to be scooled up electronically controlled on there. So yeah, you’re always going to have instant power straight away. So you’re never going to have any lag in the engine at all. So they say it’s going to be 900cc, but it’s going to be kind of equivalent to like a 1200cc. Yeah, it’s very light bike as well. Um we don’t know what the weight’s going to be just yet. Um I’ve had a feel of it on it and it does feel quite light. Um but yeah, it’s certainly interesting. Going to be very interesting. Something completely new to the market. It’s obviously getting a lot of interest in it as well. Yeah, a lot of interest on it. Are we likely to see it in 2026 on the road or probably not 26? Um probably maybe probably maybe 27, but we’ll see what that happens with it. Um yeah, they are looking at to put it in production at some point. Yeah, it looks I even like the wrap on it actually. That looks kind of cool. Yeah, I really like that. Yeah, it’ be good if they did it as well. So, the V3R prototype, I can’t wait to have a spin on that. That looks a super cool bike. I believe Honda the only is the only ones that are doing this. And I think that when that hits the market, people are going to be seriously interested, especially the fact, like I said, 900cc bike. It’s going to have the output of a 1200cc. We all love a bit more power. And as we can see, Honda has brought along their fully electric motorcycle. This is the WN7, £12,999. Amy B, what do we know? Um, so charge to 80% in 30 minutes and then it does 87 miles. 87 miles on a single charge, but we can get it charged up really quick in that short time. These bikes are starting to look a little bit more attractive. And look what Honda’s done with the styling. That looks super cool. Right behind me, we’ve got two more bonics that are new for 2026. This is the CB000F and next to it, we’ve got the CV000 GT. So, Amy has jumped on the modern retro classic. And uh can you get your feet down on this one? Because the seat height is 795 mm. We’ve got a curve weight 240 kg, but we’ve also got that all important price 10 hours on 99 on the road. I think Honda’s coming at a great price. And like I say, carry that five blade engine from 2017. There’s plenty of power for this bike. So, we’ve got Amy on so we can get that brilliant perspective. How’s it feel on the back? Yeah, it’s good. It’s good. Yeah. And I think with that seat height as well, I’ve got my feet flat down as well. This bike feels super comfortable. You know what? It looks really cool as well. I think what Honda’s done with this bike, I think it’s going to be a great sell off. Next to the CV1000F, we’ve also got the CB1000 GT. The price on that bike is £11,999. It’s got the same engine again, the 2017 Fireblade. It’s got an output of 147 brake horsepower. 2 N of torque. That is some serious power for a sports tour. I can just see the price. 11,999. New bike for 2026. Yes, indeed. It’s getting a lot of interest here today. It is. Uh, I just seen you was just showing the adjustment on the windscreen. Yes, I like that. That’s really cool. So simple. It works really well. Very easy. Um, yes, that’s a really well thought out piece of kit. And I’m and I’m right in saying the the engine’s the same in all all three of these bikes, the CB000F, but this one’s got more output. It’s Yes. So, that’s 122 brake horsepower in the CB000F. This is the same as the Hornet. It’s 150. Wow. Uh the Hornet SP is actually 155. That’s down to the exhaust system. Extra 58 horsepower. It’s a it’s plenty of power for a sport. Yeah. And for your for your 12 grand, the spec on it is good. You’ve got the the panas standard. Yeah. Um the center stand, electronic suspension, cruise control. Um and will they do this in the DCT as well? No plans at the minute. Right. So it’s just in manual for now. Yeah, just man with a quick shifter. That’s all standard as well. And then this has got some additional extras, the handguards, extended handguards. Um, it’s got the taller screen on the crash bones, the side deflectors. Wow. So, you get a lot for your money. You do. The only optional extra it hasn’t gone on really is the top box and we’ve just kept that off to make it easier to move around. Yeah, of course. Yeah. Beautiful looking bike. And I finally get a sit on it. There’s been a big queue for this one today. Yeah. I mean, when you sit, you do really sit into the tank. A massive tank as well. I don’t know what that is. It’s probably 21 L or something like that. But ergonomically, this feels a nice bike. It feels It feels comfortable. And um should we see if we get Amy on the back? And then uh she can give a bit of a pillion perspective on this one. Have you had a sit on it yet? Yeah, I bet. What do you reckon? You going to get one? Right. I’m on commission. We’ve got a sale. That was enough. Are you on? Yeah. So, um Yeah. Actually, I don’t know about for you, but what’s it feel like on the back? So apparently they’ve added 40 m just add in the pillion seat on this bike. Yeah. And compared to the kind of the CV 10000 if you actually sat up a little bit higher. You feel like you’re a bit too high. You’re okay there. I would say it is a higher riding position, but this seat is very comfort. I tell you what, battling through the crowd on the Honda stand is absolutely manic today. And like I said, those new bikes are getting some serious interest. The gentleman over there has already bought one. He reckons he’s going to get it about March time. He’s super happy. The price on the bikes for what you get for your money is absolutely bang on. We can’t wait to bring one of them bikes to the channel. Amy B, where where are we off to next? Royal Enfield. So, we’re at the the Royal Enfield stand and they’ve already got the deck chairs out making themselves at home. It’s all looking very relaxed over here. We’ve got the prayer flags. So, we don’t know the price, but this is the the new Bullet 650. Carries that same parallel twin engine they use in the other 650 models like the classic 650 twin and also the 650 shotgun. I’m loving what Royal Enfield have done with this old school bullet style brand new 650 Twin. This one actually pulls. So, we’ve got two bikes over here. They’re both called the Flying Flea. These are new bikes coming in, I think, for 2026. Fully electric bikes. And on the right, we’ve got this uh this one that is literally going to be the city bike. We’re not sure on the uh the the power output of the uh the electric motor or the battery there or or even the range, but you can see with this one, it’s belt driven. We’ve got road tires. And then over here, we’ve got kind of like an off-road scrambler style uh electric bike that’s chain driven. We’ve also got kind of like 50/50 knobbybly tires on that. So, this bike would be an ideal bike just to take down the lanes. Be interesting to see what the uh what the battery ranges on these bikes. They’re quite small. I’m guessing they’re going to be really really light, very manageable. They’ve done a fantastic job to see it in the flesh as well. It looks absolutely beautiful and it’s kind of got a bit of a a kind of a carbon look to it. So, Amy B, the flying fleas, what do you reckon? Yeah, I like them. They’re electric bikes. They’re They’re looking better and better. Yeah, I think they look super cool and I do I do think they actually serve a real good purpose to be honest. Like the city riding and stuff, I’m not sure you’re going to get a massive battery range out of them. Like I say, there was no figures and specifications on that. But um I think Roy Lenfield always come in at the right price and that’s what probably will be the persuador for people that perhaps want to use them to get around the cities. I think I think they would be an excellent bike. and even the scrambler bike there taking it down a few trails. I think with it probably being really light as well be great fun. So, we are on the Moto GB stand. This is one of the biggest stands, I think, which is kind of divided into two, but uh right behind us here, we’ve got some of the QJ bikes and these are looking super cool. Luke, tell us a bit about them. Yeah, QJ arrived this summer into the UK. I mean QJ have got over 170 powered two wheelers in their range just bringing in 17 for a start into the UK but a really uh diverse range of adventure bikes, nakeds, cruisers, sports bikes. Um so it’s and they’re coming in at a really really competitive price. Prices are just bonkers ain’t there? Exactly. And that’s the way they’ve got to do. They’ve got to turn heads and the way they’re going to do it is with a competitive price and without skimping on, you know, on the the suspension, the brakes, the tires. So, it’s quality components, a real good price. It’s going to make people look, do you know what I like about these prices as well? It encourages younger people to get into riding as well, cuz that’s what we need. We need that next generation coming through to have affordable bikes so they can ride them. Um as an example behind is we got this uh the SRT 600 S. What do we know about it? Yeah. So again 4699 as it is here you’ve got a three-piece aluminium luggage. Handguards, heated grips, heated seat, LED spot lamps, crash bars, sump guard, center stand, you know, TFT display. Crazy spec. And this is okay. It’s a it’s your kind of first adventure bike. It’s your commuter. It’s your all year round two wheel car, you know, incredible value. Parallel twin engine with it. That’s all with it. Anything you see on this bike, it this is a stock bike of that 4699. And that’s 2 years unlimited mileage warranty. So, hell of a hell of a spec. It’s going to, you know, get you on the road. Imagine what that’s going to be on a PCP. I can’t tell you off the top of my head, but less than 80 quid a month. 12vt charger, USB charger, so you don’t need to put anything else on screen there. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. It’s just And it feels comfy as well. Yeah. You’ve done a lot of miles on these. Yeah. And I don’t think there’s that many in stock left for this year because people have gone mad. I actually met someone at Old Park BSB. You just bought one. It’s I think it was his second or third bike. And he’s like, “What made you buy?” He goes, “I had to at the price.” Yeah. And that’s the thing. At those sort of prices, you you can afford to have two or three bikes in the collection if you wanted. And this is just one example of what you say 17 that you’ve got. That’s right. Yeah, that’s just unbelievable really. And and like I said, it opens up a new world for younger riders. Get one over to you to ride it. Yeah, definitely. We’ll bring this to the channel. So, another bike on the stand again by QJ. This is an absolute bur. Look at this. £6,999. This is the SRK 800 RR. Doesn’t this look an absolute belt up of a sports bike for that kind of model? Absolutely beautiful. Love the fact it’s got these wings on here as well. I mean, as you can see, this bike has got some trick bits on it as well. We’ve got the Brembo brakes there. And if you come over here, Amy B, we’ll just have a look at this on the switch gear. We even get things like cruise control as standard. And we’ve also got a quick shifter on the bike as well. It’s just phenomenal what you get for your money. Think about these bikes really is the price again, you know, and it really does encourage younger people to get into the sport a little bit more. Middleweight sports bike, £6,999. I mean, it looks absolutely stunning as well. And I think 94 brake horsepower plenty for the road. Red or black? Red. Yeah, I think the red one’s on. Although, I do like the black with that gold pin stripe on it. Looks super cool. And again, the price is just spot on. So, again, the prices on the hero bikes. This is the Honk 440. Looks an absolute beautiful bike. Again, £3,499. I’ve got to keep mentioning the prices cuz these are an absolute steal. We’ve got a single cylinder engine that’s 440cc. We’ve got 27 horsepower and that comes in at 6,000 RPM. We’ve also got 36 new m of torque at 4,000 RPM. We’ve also got these twin shocks on the rear. We’ve got a seat height of 803 mm, a six-speed box, a 13.5 L tank. So, just looking around the bike, I tell you what, I mean, what a cracking bike for the money. Again, everything looks like it’s been really nicely put together. Even this grab handle on the back here feels nice and sturdy, so when you’re moving the bike around, you’ve got a secure hold on it. And I think it looks a cool bike as well. Whether you’re starting out or you’re like a seasoned rider, the riding position on this is really nice. You really sit upright into the bike. I mean, it’s a beautiful paint job. Love the gray in this one. We’ve got a nice round TFT screen as well. All the switch gear is just set out really nice as well. I mean, this is just one of their display bikes, but just check out this rally bike. Don’t that look super cool, right? So, Amy B, the Suzuki stand. What are we here to see on the Suzuki stand? The SV7 GX. And here it is. No price to be confirmed, but I think this one’s running off the uh the 650 platform. Yeah, but it’s been adapted to make it more touring friendly. So, we’ve got a 795 seat height, which I’m quite happy with. Also, there is 10 mil more padding in the seat than in the other 650. So, not only have we got a good seat height and you can get your feet flat down, but we’ve also got a nice bit of comfort as well. Padding. Yeah. I’ll just uh notice on the board here as well up to 10 years warranty T’s and C’s apply. So yeah, price to be confirmed as well. Got it in these three colors. Looks like they’re white, the black and the traditional blue. So it weighs 211 kg and it has a 17.4 L tank. No, it’s coming late summer. Obviously placed strongly on air existing SV 650 model which is going to fantastic V2 engine. Yeah, sure. Very narrow width because of that V2 engine which gives you a low seat height. Yeah. Which makes it really emotional. Yeah. A just sat on it and she felt comfortable and also it was just saying you got extra padding in the seat there as well. So a lower seat height, more comfort. Yeah, definitely. Really nice. You seen the new GSXR000? Do you know what? We’ve not Let’s Let’s go and do that. Let’s go and have a look because you’ve got red one here, right? Blue one over at the end of that front line. Okay. Okay. And the there’s a the yellow lean down bike which is quite good fun right in there if you want a clam roller bike. Okay. So that’s kind of quite good. Maybe we’ll get you on that might make quite a nice bit of a picture on that. So are the Can you buy these now then? Are these uh are these uh these are you can order them now. We’ll be delivering in the spring. In the spring we’ll be ready. Yeah. So we’ve already we basically we’ve already got enough orders that our first couple of deliveries are pretty sold out, but we’ll have more coming in the spring. So uh yeah, really excited about Yeah, cuz there was that moment of disappointment when they stopped stopped making them. Of course. Has it been a few years? Has it been? Yeah. Yeah. About four or five years. Four or five years. So, yeah, great to see him back. Yeah. Just that change in the um emissions regulations. Uh but now we’ve got a lot of updates to the engine. Um you know, we got new cams, cam shaft, pistons, conrods, crank case, crankshaft. So, there’s a lot of stuff changed. Um gets through the emission stuff of course, uh but also makes the engine really good for racing in terms of tunability and strength. You know, we’re big on endurance racing, right? Right. So, that strengthening the engine and reliability is a really big thing of ours. And you’ve made a lot of bikers happy to see it back again. The GSX 1000 back. I can’t wait to have a spin on one of them. But I think I’ll wait for the spring. Yeah. Right. We’ve got so much to get through. And again, it is super busy in here. That was a Suzuki stand. Where are we off to next? KTM. KTM. So, right behind me, we’ve got the KTM 9990 RCR. And I got to say, I think what KTM have done with this bike looks absolutely beautiful. It’s probably one of the best looking bikes in this segment. And it’s probably also got the most output of power as well. 128 horsepower and 103 Newton m of torque. 185 kilos. I think that might be a dry weight. I’m not sure. But, uh, power to weight ratio, that bike’s an absolute stoner, to be honest. Looks cool. I think it will be a good all round on the road or even on the track. Right, where to next? To Norton. And the new Norton as well. And we’re not just talking about a logo here. We’re also talking about some fantastic bikes they have brought to the table for 2026. [Music] [Music] You just had a sit on the Norton Maxar. Beautiful looking bike. You know, they’re they’re in a class of their own. What Norton’s done here really is is I think blown it out of the water today uh with their new bike there. I mean, it looks super cool. Just had a sit on it and the the ergonomics feel right. It feels a premium bike as well. Love the screen on it. Um can’t wait to give one of these a try. We still got no price on them. I’m guessing they’re not going to be cheap. Are you a fan of the style? I I think as I’m getting older, this is a better style for me. If I was a little bit younger, I’d be I’d be tempted for the the man. Yeah. I find that this without the fair is so much lighter as well. It’s just a lot bigger. So now I’ve just sat on the the Max R and the Max. I’ve got to say I think I prefer the Max to be honest. I’m a bit more of a an upright sort of guy. Although on the Max R that is a super sport setup. It’s not a full-on sports bike. They’ve done a great job. The screens look nice. An 8 in screen. Um I think there’s a lot of tech lock spec. Got the Brembo brakes. Plenty of power there as well. I think what Norton have done here and they’ve brought some fantastic bikes to the table. Yeah, just jumping on the Norton Atlas for the first time. I must say when you get on it, you really do sit into the bike, but it it doesn’t feel too big. Got lots of controls, lots of buttons, and they all feel very nice. Seem to be putting the same 8 in TFT screen as on the Max. And the Max are as well. And just above that, we’ve got a USB C port as well for charging. And also here we’ve got our on and off button. But yeah, lots of controls, which probably means lots of different modes, lots of different settings. So again, we don’t have a price on any of these Norman bikes on the stand today. All we do know is going to be competitive. So we’re in the BMW stand. Right behind us, we’ve got a row of the F450 GS bikes. This was a concept bike last year. Now it’s in production, and now we get to sit on one. So, the F450 GS price on the road, £6,990. The model on display is £7,760. And uh we’ve got 48 horsepower at 8,750 RPM. We’ve got 74 m to the gallon, 43 new m of torque at 6,750 RPM. So, we’ve also got a curb weight of 178 kilos, which is actually probably one of the lightest bikes in this segment. Rider’s helmet helmet round. Yeah, you really do sit on sit on top of the bike. Like I said, this is the first time I’ve sat on the F450 GS and uh you you are really upright. Um whereas the the Norton we’ve just been sat in, you sit right into the bike. This one you sit on top of the bike. It’s a nice riding position. I think this one’s got quite a few optional extras on it like the the wider foot pegs. It’s also got the uh the Afro can on it as well. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I remember I remember seeing the concept bike last year and it’s obviously got a lot of interest this year. Um, are these are these available to to buy now then? Not now. So, we only have these are literally the four that we have in the world at the moment. Oh, really? Yeah. Yeah. So, these were just previously from show in over in Milan, but um the market launch would probably be probably around April time next year. Okay. So, we’re expecting these to be at uh retailers around Yeah. April. Okay. So, yeah. Not not too long not too long to wait. So yeah, but yeah, 6,990. It’s close to 7,000. I think I think what you’ve got there, you can tell it’s a real nice well-built bike. And um yeah, it it just looks superb. And uh yeah, I think I might put one on my Christmas list. So guys, we have literally ran out of time on day one, but we’re going to be back to finish off a few of the stands that we still need to get round to see some of those fabulous motorcycles. So, as always, I hope you enjoyed today’s little walk around Motorcycle Live 2025. Don’t forget to hit that subscribe, give us a like, and we’ll see you in the next one. [Music]

  1. Iagree with you these chinese bikes will hopefully bring more young people into biking, the only problem is insurance companies will still want to charge extortionate rates which might deter a lot of new riders

  2. Just bought myself another bike it’s years since I’ve road a bike and never had a 750 bought a Honda 750 NC not new but new to me pick it up from Blackpool in the morning after a 4 1/2 hour drive and a 4 1/2 hour drive home never even read one before or sat on one it was an eBay purchase looking forward to it

  3. Great content , royal Enfield always come in at right price because they are underpowered, agricultural, and have no resale value that’s why. As long as you are aware of that they serve a purpose.The Chinese are a coming, watch out other manufacturers!

  4. Nothing like seeing another bike show to knock 20 years off your age. That new bike smell gets me going, lol. RE's Flying Flea electric models have the best looking batterys of all the electric bikes. Just seeing you and Amy B. gives me an extra charge. 👍👍

  5. Thanks Amy and Simon. There are some great bikes thanks for showing us around save me going now 😂, for interest rode past the "bog of doom" yesterday some work going on there clearing and fencing. 👌

  6. Have been going for years, even remember when you had to ride down to Ally Pally in London before it moved to Birmingham which was great as not far from Loughborough. At least there should not be any snow on the Ashby road this year. Great video and now what to head for first😊

  7. Enjoyed the walk around. Certainly a lot of new machines from each maker. You could tell where a lot of the interest was. The more affordable machines no matter where they were from. That is a telling tale of things to come. Some great value for your money as well. Even the GS price loaded seemed well in line if it stays that way and depending on the market it is in. A straight pound to dollar exchange would price it pretty high almost $10,000 so it's not that premium. Sure BMW will work on that. Just how many great looking machines were TVS based? Lots. The 700 and 900 Yamahas looked great. To me the Ducati took the stage. Look forward to the Desert X with the V2 engine. You didn't see, yet, the 750 Himalayan. Many passed it by. It must have been hidden well in the crate room. I saw Rich and Ewa there as well, On The Road. Next time Nomad Mountain Man

  8. £25 for a ticket and £10 to park, why are so many people moaning about the price, £35 for a day out of that quality is an absolute bargain, you can even take your own butties in your rucksack if you’re not a fan of overpriced cafes
