He this one’s a variation on the same them this is the one that went around the world all the way around the world there there is that a new to on the front look at that it must have been bald pretty damned impressive they got all sorts

Here well I believe i’ have one of these up at Dam rolls very shortly this is the Kimco that’s the big boy the ak550 cracking looking scooter is it and this one is the cv3 in a matte green very very impressive 11 Grand mind it’s a lot of

Money in it cracking looking scooter I hope I get me hands on one of these in the summer super okay so here we are the new 450 water called Himalayan rally well with no doubt we’ll have one of these Simon they’ll be a to sort me

Out to demo Ro on this I’m looking forward to test riding this I got to say the finish up close the Finish is superb we got the same old um sort of bronzy tarnished um down pipe on the others all section swing arm at the back virtually flat monos shock got to

Say that looks pretty damn impressive so there you go screen looks nice got to say they really have Ed the game a long time fit and finish is pretty damn good yeah these will sell well these will sell well so this is the main inayan stand this is the one everybody’s been looking

At sitting on so we got typical sort of 5 foot 3 5 fo4 chap get on touch the ground flat foot no trouble fairly low bike yellow and black boxes aren’t bad I’m not sure what M they are probably Made in India so there you go really I’m impressed with the fit in

Finish I think it’ll suit most people whether they do a high seat or not I’m not actually sure okay so I know it’s not a new bike but it is a new bike to the range they’ve reissued the 350 bullet so it’s got the twin seat rather than the single

Seat looks okay in Black do it you can see the development of the later models this is a little bit what 2 three year old now this engine still looking pretty good but I’ve got to say when you look at the finish on the Iman it’s it’s in

The next Century really Same Old Clock same old Dash no Tripper on it yeah pretty damn good let’s have a look around couldn’t resist showing you this green and black with a gold pin stripe black engine cases black um head covers mag wheels pretty damn I’m good we’re walking through the

Hall we got gas gas and CCM over there we’ll pop over there in a minutes here we go the big boys ducatti so there’s a couple of bugs I want to look at on this stand there we go hyper motard 698 mono does that look the dogs or

Not it’s got lamb chops written all over isn’t it look at that back tire comes with a slick terion fit and finish is pretty damn good 11,895 12 grand for a 700 CC single it’s quite pricey is it so we got the desert X quite a tall broke on it i’ say 62

63 he’s getting into the groove on it we got the pellis on the back quite nobbly looks pretty good does it the rally X got to say I do like these it’s a sort of bik that have fit me very very nice so these are coming in at 192 19

Grand for the semi off-road bike it’s got the Dakar esque front on it it’s a lot of money for it is it jeez it’s the 937 engine 110 brake horsepower it’s the Testa L twin very tidy but a lot of money so this is the big one this

Is the the desert x with everything on it 15 and a half 15 and 1 half 15,500 this is the one you could go around the world on it’s got the big tank on the front extra 1300 quid gets you the uh the rally tanks look at the

Dash what is it 5 and 1/2 6 in it’s in portrait mode rather than landscape typical fit and finish on the diates or is it Matt yeah it’s a matte finish I don’t know where you’re going to put your T but yeah Benny’s getting on it he’s about uh he’s about

510 plenty of leg room is he comfortable vny vny likes it well rude not to show you this there’s no way I’m going to ride it I won’t ever be on this this is the the British super sport bike so this is another new model was been released a

Couple of months as you can see there’s plenty of scuffs on the paniers where people have been getting on and off it’s fairly tall bike the seat looks like he on the low position this is The Grand Tour the v4s I love those shark thin intakes they look great don’t

They got scorpion trail tires on it a nice picture of Italy in the back Benny’s just told me they they start at 22 it’s a lot of money for the B that’ll do 34 to the gallon I don’t think God fancy two on it it’s got the spotlights on the auxiliary

Spots got the screen on it so here we go I’d say 5′ 10ish the chap looks very comfortable on it not too you touch the floor not too excessive knee Bend was very impressed get the checkbook out 23 and a half oh 20 23,500 it’s quite nice it’s a matte

Finish there’s another big lad getting on it yeah looks a comfy bike for the big boy I think the Shor is need not apply it can just about touch the floor superb is it so here we go this is the rally now the joke here I can’t understand the

Same price as the T So this has got the 30 L tank on the T has got a 22 L tank on which I find quite strange lots of carbon got the carbon front mood guard on it same old engine paniers look quite um quite substantial quite big nice looking bike is

It what is it 8 in TFT little tiny jam pass look at that that t Bo up the clutch I’ve had trouble with the mtis in the past with the clutches looks pretty good here we go somebody’s getting on now i’ tell you another one about 510

511 looks very comfortable on it does he oh we get a chance to see a pan on the back here his Bry well that wasn’t too much trouble was it is it comfy it’s comfy she likes it he better get the checkbook out quick and buy

One there’s not there’s no top box on the back be interested to see what it looked like with a top box on there you go looks good does it good carry on so if you’re an ooligan and you want to be an Igan you can have a yellow

And black V4 SP2 Street Fighter this is probably the fastest naked bike on the road I’ve got to show it you because the fit and finish is absolutely Sublime all right 200 plus brake horsepower look at these air scoops on the brakes got the big m50s on it

Air scoops I do like the way they do the quarter paint on the on the wheels it looks superb that is amazing so if you ride it that’s the view from the cockpit it’s a bit low down there is it but that finish is amazing have a

Look at the rear twin up sweps look at them Cannon launchers that is gorgeous I must admit I’d like a go frighten your stupid but I’d like a go okay Benny’s just pointed out this is the when they say uni you can actually go to the factory and specify your

Colors your seat colors your exhaust type I dread to think how much these are you’re probably talking 50 Grand anyway let’s move on here we go CF Moto the number one premium Chinese brand these boys are making bgs for everybody now quick look round that’s the new sport the 450 Sr £

5,600 on the road it’s 50 Brak horsepower that is an absolute gorgeous piece of Kit is it at them brenbo monoblocks it’s got everything in it it’s probably a little bit on the China side for lofty but it looks good yeah are Benny’s going on Benny’s 510

So if you’re your average size human 5′ 10 66 years old with bad hips I think he found it a bit of a struggle I think it might be a bigger struggle for lofting this is the new model for this year this is the NK 800 i’ probably think we’ll be getting

These at Dam LS I’ve got to say that’s the naked 800 Roa and that does look superb it’s in a black and titanium finish are Ben he’s getting on it for me now that looks a lot more leg room that’s a good looking bike is it just have a copper look at the

Back yeah we got the old swing arm mounted herel sto number Place single pot that’s not too big is it that’s pretty damn good these Chinese bikes in off come on looks like we got a laptop for the screen jeez I’ve never seen nothing like

That he’s massive that’s got to be a 10 in that us got to be 10 in we got cter mirrors 7 and half Grand 7,500 7 and half Grand on the road parallel twin 800c lifted out of a KTM I really would like to ride this there’s the profile look at

That now you tell me that ain’t a bad looking bike he’s the X the CLX we rode this last year can’t fault it that’s got I’m sure that’s got higher bars than last year’s bike I’d probably call them kows must admit that’s a lovely bike

He’s the um the CLX the one with the drop bars it’s more comfortable than it looks here we go another new bike for this year here this is the mt700 this is based on the the kwasaki engine it’s a 650 kwasaki engine Bo out to 700 it’s been around a long time it’s

A a bad looking bike is it similar front to last year so we’re coming around the 800 Mt and here’s the the tour this is the bikee we rolled last year it’s had a few fewu issues a bit snatchy on the throttle but I thought it

Was a cracking looking bike me and Linny had it the one day for about 4 hours and we took it out we got some new graphics on it for this year but as you see it’s it’s the 800 KTM engine can’t fault it so Benny’s jumping on it there we go loads of

Room you could go around the world of this I found it very comfortable solo and two up the only thing I think thought was it I thought it was quite a pricey bike when you compare it with the KTM um Adventure 800 it’s quite pricey it’s coming in at

9,200 but that was nearly 11 Grand last year so the CF Moto 800s you’ve got a roid one very very nice okay brand new bike for this year this is the 990 Juke now when I say it’s orange they don’t get much more orange than that that one has as Benny said that’s

Been Tango look at those wheel Rings that’s proper proper proper Orange it’s quite a good looking cockpit not two wide handlebars it’s a matte orange and a matte orange seat I’ve got to say it a too bad we’ll get Benny to sit on it and show you what it looks like

To be fair as I say 5′ 10 that looks pretty comfortable doesn’t it plenty of leg room the cutway in the tank You’ get somebody 6′ 6’2 now trouble I do like it looks very very nice so another new bike for this year the

GT not over keen on the pan to be fair it doesn’t look a lot bigger than the um than the Juke but it’s got quite a big big front end on it so we got integrated paniers to be fair they look better than what they are I’d like to see inside

Them I don’t think there’s a lot of room for your kit they’re a strange shape they’re quite bulus in the lid I should imagine you’d have to have inner bags otherwise as soon as you open it the lot would fall out yeah here we go the rep here

Frantically trying to put the side panel on where it’s fell off as a puncher sat on it yeah look at that cracks Bang wallup first first time you take it off road it’ll fall off fall off here’s the front end view of that uh Super Moto

GT looks pretty damn mean doesn’t it I do like those um cornering lights they’re not the biggest of bikes to be fair but I should say the chap on it’s about 5′ 7 5’8 the typical the sort of size here we go see we can get a a decent shot of it

I think this Chap’s very smitten that seat’s quite sculpted I should imagine that definitely got a low seat on it the gap between the front seat and the rear seat there’s a good inch Gap here we go Benny’s jumping on 5′ 10 looks comfortable he looks pretty happy on

It yeah I’ve got to say it’s pretty nice that’s definitely fully down look at the Gap that’s low on its suspension they’ve made that appear as low as they can for people to sit on at the show when I pop up to JD and see Andy and the girls I should imagine the

Bike that or try out will be a lot taller a lot taller 125 Juke been around a while now engine Made in India by bad it’s ain’t a bad looking bike is it moving on next door we got the 390 Juke I’ve got to say the colors it’s

Exactly the same color as the 990 it’s a mini me that’s proper orange 390 good looking bike in it under slung exhaust when you think that you look at the features it’s literally identical to the big bike it’s just everything’s just been made smaller it’s really nice we got the rc125 the RC

390 they got quite a good range in the KTM 390 looks nice don’t it bit strange here they got a metal petrol tank and the actual seat mounting is all the same it’s composite of some sort like a one piece composite yeah that does look a bit

Strange doesn’t it so here we go the IG gun bik the one we rode last year the 690 KTM the Super Moto I’d say the chap sitting on it 5’8 5’9 I’m going to show you this I probably won’t get to ride it next year

Cuz this is the super Juke RR that’s all Kitty there ACA quic pipe on it loads and loads of uh carbon fiber this is the sort of thing you take on a track day give it some stick and should imagine it a fly it’s to compete

With a daati street fighter I think the deatti is probably slightly better looking but I’d think I’d probably have this engine I prefer the V2 to the V4 that’s just my opinion then white power Forks they are huge anyway let’s move on so we’ve got the upgraded 990

Adventure so also another one that’s well down on its suspension I think a lot of these bikes have been set up at the show so as they’ll appeal to the smaller person to be fair so you sit on it and you think I can touch the ground

Then when you get to the shop and everything’s fully loaded up and it’s um on his proper suspension setting it’s a lot higher it’s good looking bike is it it’s nice to see black instead of just all orange those paniers are rather big there we go Benny’s going to jump across

It fits well must admit the old the jugs at the front not really my cup of tea huge paniers we got one probably 35 L and 125 L I’d imagine not bad though pretty good looking so let’s just turn around and see the big boy that’s the adventure S I

Believe this is the 990 Adventure it’s the adventure s it’s the off-road version it’s a big tall bike with a big that seat’s a big tall seat here we go somebody’s jumping on it now I’d say about 58 5’9 definitely can’t touch the floor would struggle big time

But if you wanted to go Offroad not too heavy not too light this could be the one for you so moving across we got the super adventure 1290 now that’s a big beast isn’t it so we got the adventure R and the adventure s the S is the more Road one

And there we go there’s the r that’s the more offroy one well there you go can’t fault it so USV now this is um this might be coming to Dam rolles I believe I believe Steve’s in negotiations with husv to may be stocking them not 100% certain might

Happen might not if it does happen this is a bike I’m looking forward to riding so it’s the northern 901 now look at that and Old Troy and superimposed the picture of the CF Moto cuz when you think about it it’s the more or less the same engine KTM the

USV gas Gast don’t do it but CF Moto all these engines I believe now are made in China in the CF Moto Factory and you can see the family resemblance it’s quite good looking is it personally I think I prefer the nordon to the KTM personal opinion

That’s me at see looks like it’s probably in the low position it might go a bit higher we got USB on the front there lights 5 in TFT we’ll get Benny to sit on it so as we can see what it looks like for you now that does look comfortable it’s

Got the same jugs if you notice the same jugs that the CF Moto doesn’t have the jugs cuz it’s based on the the earlier engine but that that bash that bash plight is that’s proper solid last time I saw the bash plight like that it was on the original Africa twin

I like the lights I must admit I do prefer the round head light pretty damn good so he’s the little one the spark pillan this is the one I rode a few weeks back unfortunately I had some trouble with me um my sound and I haven’t had chance to

Put the video out but I’ve got to say I really enjoyed riding this I absolutely thrashed the goods out of it everywhere and had an real ball not a bit of a strange looking bike a very narrow when you sit on them but they’re very nice can’t fault it anyway

Let’s move on tro for got a huge stand nice Scrambler there absolutely monstrous the Triumph stand let’s have a look closer okay here we are this is for you Phil Jordan This Is The Tiger 900 in a red black and white color looks absolutely gorgeous £ 13,700

When I bought my original 800 tiger back in 2011 that were 7 and2 Grand 137 is Benny now Benny’s 5′ 10 loads of leg room fits nice and easy let’s have a quick look at the dash huge TFT Dash not activated but look at the size of that the bars look slightly

Pulled back this is the same I would say this is right on the bottom of its suspension put your feet down Benny so at 5′ 10 with a suspension quite low CU you can see the distance between the center stand and the floor is about 6 in

He’s he’s still semi Tippy toed so I think i’ think at 5’5 it’ll be a big bike but it’s good looking I’ll just show you this it’s the same bike it’s called the aragan it’s got the bars on it and everything 14 Grand similar Wheels to W and BMW they

Got the uh tubless tires with the spokes going to the outside it looks pretty damn good the rally arogant quite a big seat it’s amazing really it don’t seem that different to the original 800 tiger nice and narrow build quality for Thailand’s very good

Now so here we got one on the stand this one’s got a nice voice orange and black finish it’s got a silver rear subf frame rather than white I’ve got to say I think it’s a good looking bike anybody looking for a tiger 900 I don’t think

Can you see the difference now that Center stand there is probably 8 to 10 in from the floor so my suspicions are correct a lot of these bikes that you can sit on are very very low so this is the one we saw in the center stand and Ben’s on it 5

10 put your feet down B yeah there’s not it’s it’s not for little people I’m I think I think 5′ 10 is about the size you need to be to ride this got to say the color scheme’s lovely I’m going to swing my leg across this

One right now then so there’s me I’m sitting on it I’m actually in it and if I stand up the suspension relaxed I’m 6’5 and I’m flat footed and I find it a very very comfortable bikee indeed this is very very nice it’s the first one I’ve wanted to sit on about

That the first one I wanted to sit on this is a nice comfy place I do like this so the the front the face is very very similar to the 1200 if you pulled up anywhere I don’t think people would know any difference between the 900 so here we go he’s

Somebody all o Phil he is proper proper Tippy Toe how tall are you my mate H how tall are you 5 seven okay so there we go 5′ s and that’s a proper proper straight leg okay so here’s the Explorer this is the one Ashley bought recently with a big petrol

Tank on that’s definitely the low seat and that’s definitely quite low I can tell by the center stand 18,500 and you don’t get a lot for that the electric seats are extra the paniers are extra by the time you’ve spec it up you’re talking over 20 grand it’s a goodl looking bike

Mind I’d call it a pearlescent white it’s not a proper white pearlescent it’s got a gray infill on the top of the tank shaft drive of course that’s the one thing that drives a lot of people to buy these shaft drive very very comfy you could two of

The world on one of these and like I said with a 30 L the tank you wouldn’t have to stop for petrol very often anyway let’s move on here we go Team Green Team Green K Kaki they’re here today I believe I’ve not actually seen

Any of them but if I do I’ll have a chat I’ve come to see uh the hybrid bike so here we go this is it this is the hybrid the zed7 hvv looks quite low do it I can’t get all the way around it I can only do a

One size fit and finish is typical kosaki it’s not too bad the cannon launch is not too big let’s get a front view got got the quack um logo on the front looks very nice it’s a little parallel twin engine I believe it’s about 4 450 or something with the

Electric boost I’m going to try and find one that I can actually see okay so here we go this is the new Z E1 the electric Revolution this is quite an expensive bike it’s battery powered it’s it’s basically a 125 equivalent 7,000 700 see we get a better shot of

It fit and finish is quite good so I presume you put the key in here for the battery compartment all it’s under the SE I’m not too sure I don’t know a lot about these I’m hoping to ride this one in the new year so we’ve actually got a H7

HV the ninja 7h I you call it so these they’ve not actually announced a price at all I can get nice and close to it now so here we go the seven hybrid we got clipons but they’re mounted above the Yol very small TFT Dash not very big at

All seat don’t look too bad I’m going to put my leg across it when his chat lose so I’m sitting exro it slightly CED forward no screen it’s a bit like the 400 crash BS on the side so we got the fuel tank on the top and we got the

Electric melter based under the seat it’s pretty damn good really I’m going to move over and let get a second look a look got battle shift so you got up down on your gears cuz it’s an automatic so it’s fully automatic this one and then you’ve got also got a

Reverse gear oh that’s interesting so if you push it back that way look slightly so walking speed reverse on it push the throttle slide forward it goes into reverse EO boost so if you need a bit more boost for taking over vehicle or so when you’re actually riding you can use

The petrol engine and you can press the button the thumb button you get the ECO boost very interesting so 11 Grand or 12 Grand how much price no so we’ve not actually released the price from kak yet um because it’s not fully confirmed but expect to be showrooms around May time

So we’re going to be riding one in May or R well yeah but even other dealers I I work at D cont dealership number one dealership I today but even we don’t get told these prices normally you guys will find out at the same time with us a lot

Of the pros and stuff actually that us at halfast 5 the day before tomorrow a new promo start so you guys are as much in the dark as we are as well but very interesting know that being kazaki what we do really well is fastest motorcycles

On the planet that anybody can ride also very very competitive to price so but this is the first strong hybrid motorcycle so 451 cc engine two 1.61 batteries on there so 3.2 K and then on top of that you’ve got your EO as well so so I will ask you one question ahead

Are we AC or DC yeah not AC DC you’ll see come on is it AC or DC you mean they’re not saying oh F I’ll get you I’ll get some to confirm it for you they have a chat with you again this is my actual first time seeing this

Motle so we just the dealership okay so we’re not actually sure whether it’s an AC charge or a DC charge but he’s going to try and find out for us cuz it will make a big difference D so he’s asked the boss and the boss

Thinks it’s DC so I’ll have to when I get back toore Kawasaki I’ll have over with the lads and find out exactly what it is so the boys on the Kawasaki standard extremely friendly anyway I’ll going to show you the new Cruiser before we move

On so here we go this is the brand new Eliminator 500 smaller than the bulcan was it’s very very compact is it basically the same design we’ve got no prices again it’s going to be around 3540 break as you can see he quite narrow twin shocks on the

Back Little Engine quite good looking really is it there we got the Vulcan s next to it as you can see the difference straight away we got Center pegs whereas the Vulcan got forward pegs I think this will appeal to a lot of first time big

Bike riders very very nice I do want to see the 400 sport before we go and then we’ll move on okay boys there it is the ZX 400rr that’s a full-blown race bike is it that is a proper proper race bik got the SP can on the

Back looks very good do it you’d never know it was only a 400 look at that looks like a ZX ZX 6r good looking bik so and got a pretty big stand as you’d expect Suzuki in the background there’s a couple of Bs someone look at on the under

Stand there’s a little ONN it we saw last year I’m looking for the big orn it the F so here we are brand new bike for this year well basically it’s the old CB th000 engine new Dynamics it comes in silver white and red quite a good looking bike The Hornet f

There’s not much padding on that seat is there that’s quite low on the suspension as well they are Benny’s across it so at 5′ 10 it looks fairly comfortable the cut away not too bad he can flat foot it no trouble at all yes there is a quick shifter on

It we got nissing radial brakes we got the the new Honda TFT a cracking Dash this is the rear end similar to the outo model got a little ogre on it all so let’s get a full shot of the side there we go it’s not bad at

All so if you’re looking for a new Street Fighter and you don’t want the mentalness of the KTM or the dati this is your pretty damn normal bike you can have plenty of fun give it plenty of thrash and really enjoy yourself so the other side

View got to say it’s a good looking bike these will sell well looking forward to test riding this in the new year and now we’ve got the 500 or it so this is the the venerable 500 engine been around a long long time and they’ve

Stuck it in the Hornet um guys we got radial on the front we’re running Road sixes on it pretty nice tires to be fair for the price point of £ 6,200 nice looking bike anyway let’s have a look round so here we go another new addition for this year the CBR 650r and

The CB 650r they’ve got this latest invention which is called an e clutch you’ve still got a conventional clutch lever but you don’t need to use it at all put it into gear so it’s got some sort of electronic shift on the gear box you it into first gear pull the

Clutch back and away it goes so here we go it adds about five or six kilos to the weight but as you can see there it is built on the outside there an electronic actuator it’s not the prettiest of devices it’s not a

DCT it’s not a Twist and go CVC it is an actual electronically operated clutch it does activate the clutch the bike itself is based on the same B mik that’s it’s been around for three or 4 years and of course this is the r with a fair in it’s

A lovely lovely red color and for those who was on about the color of the shocks last year this one’s got a black shock folks no yellow one no red one so I’m going to come across and show you the naked one so here we go this is the

Naked model it’s in a very nice metallic matte green love the color of the engine there’s that clutch closeup again get a better angle of it it’s not the prettiest of things is it but it does work it’s very effective you change gear with a foot operated gear lever and you’ve got the

Clutch now you can actually pull the clutch in knock it into gear and drive it like a normal motorbike or you can just let the E clutch just ignore the clutch the clutch lever that is and just keep snicking it through if you actually do use the clutch and then you don’t use

It for a while the e- clutch automatically comes back in and resets what do you think it’s got that same dashboard nice big Dash I’ve got to say I really like this bike I enjoyed riding it last year and I really are looking forward to riding it

With the E clutch this is one of the bikes I’m looking forward most to test riding after Christmas when they come in the shop on that CB 650r The Naked Bike beautiful okay so the Africa twins had a facelift for this year this is the adventure sports now as

You’ll notice one thing the 21in front’s gone we’re still running tubless we’ve still got the same binle slightly different now this is definitely definitely been lowered to some degree there’s no way that is sitting on its suspension those panas are huge the top box is absolutely monstrous that’s got to be a

45 L top box so what do you think this is the manual version we got the same Dash nothing’s changed there oh no it is a DC I do apologize it’s a DCT Benny’s just pointed out this is the hand breake so you pull it towards you push the click and and it

Goes got the Flappy paddles cracking looking bike as I say that’s definitely on its uh bottom of its suspension there’s no way that he sitting up straight here we go Benny’s jumped on it it’s got the low seat on it as well I can tell straight away he can just about

About touch the floor there’s no way at 5′ 10 he would touch the floor with a suspension on its full setting you’re paying 17,6 00 very nice I do like it got to say I’ve always had a soft spot for the Africa twin one of my favorite

Bikes this is the Matte Black Version it’s the same model the DCT so coming in the corner we got the uh the red one this is uh it’s also a DCT I think yeah it’s a DCT it’s got the foot operated um gear lever 21 in front it’s the more paired back off-road

Version these are £1 15,900 fairly tall chap on it i’ say 511 maybe 6t looks very comfortable on it we got the metal boxes the metal boxes aren’t as big as the uh as the standard plastic boxes it’s the same old engine I believe they’ve increased the mid-range torque by some

7% low seat again good looking bike is it it’s a different red different red so they’ve actually got the old USB cable here it’s already in fore to put your iPhone in and uh have a bit of a play dashboard’s the same feels very familiar to me of course

Owning a an NT there your two mode everything’s there cracking cracking looking bike here it be rude not to show you the new blue this is the matte blue not sure whether you can see it in this light it looks quite dark it’s definitely matte I’m not over keen on

The matte blue but the red here we go it’s a bit like the old cardinal red Triumph used to use in all the pictures I saw of it it looked quite bright but I’d say it’s more of a sort of a a crimson red not bad though is it just look

Different as the price changed that’s the question question now it’s about the same 12,640 this is the manual I’m not over keen on the spots I know people have them they seem a bit low to me but I can’t think where you could put them unless you had the bars

Around and then remounted them on the bars but the old NT it hasn’t changed still the same bike good looking though is it let’s have a look at Suzuki okay so we got both the new bikes I’ve come to see right next to each other so this is the GSX

8r and I’ve got to say In the Flesh it does look a lot better than the photographs that looks pretty damn smart so it’s in the same Suzuki metallic blue and we’ve got a funny what I call Gray Rim different can’t wait to testro this hopefully we should have these in the

New year it is gorgeous love the TFT it’s the same as on the 800 S that is yeah that’s cracking that is that is a real nice bike so here we go look at the front it’s similar very similar to the GT is’t it cracking looking but now this is the

Other one I like to see this is the brand new 2024 model GSX SG X it’s a mouthful I’ve just come back to the r again so Benny’s got his leg across one this is the other color it’s a silver silver metallic it is it’s matte matte

Finish with a lovely crimson red wheel the wheels look superb so there he is 5′ 10 easily flat footed these do feel like a proper motorbik though they are a full size whereas the ornit can feel a bit small the GSX is a lovely looking piece of

Kit that’s nice I’m just going to throw me leg across it yeah it feels a lot like the S the cutway there you 6’5 the Cutaway is not bad I quite like these um these bars in general I’ve got to say this is one of the bikes I’m most

Looking forward to test riding in the new year here so let’s get a closeup of this GX so £4,500 another one with this um matte green this is a darker green than the trium green lovely looking seat this has got some extras on for certain look at that

Stitched very very nice paneers look pretty damn good bit of a strange shape I would imagine they are made by jivy we got some Rim tape on yeah missing calipers the dash it’s a different Dash it’s a bigger Dash look at that Dash got to say that Dash is

Superb this is a far nicer bike than the GT basically it’s going to take on the XR the BMW XR I think it to be fair my opinion I know you can’t put a center stand on it but my opinion is it a very very nice looking bike and those red

BOS but we’ve got one over here Benny’s going to have a sit on it for me so the Chap’s just gone on and his first comment was as he g off it was it feels like a tricer I suppose it does look a lot like a tracer it’s another one

That’s very low on its suspension I’m going to come and get a side view so here we go this Chap’s I’d say at least 6′ tall yeah it looks pretty comfortable forward him to be fair don’t look a lot bigger than the uh the r the r and the S the 800s of

Course he’s got the th000 CC in line four the seat the seat the passenger seat very very high I’d say the drop between the the the main seat in the passenger seats probably five six Ines it’s got a nice short cannon launcher on it same old engine they’ve always used

Good looking bike not so keen on the black not so keen on the black I’m more of the gray there we go we’ll be able to lift a photo off that one that’s not a bad picture good looking bike I better show you the GT one I’m here they got lovely

Red color for this year and it’s got a nice titanium bronze colored subframe cracking bikes these are it’s a shame you can’t put a top box on this one whereas on the the new GX you can put a top box on it’s got a plate on the

Back for it but they are cracking voice is they anyway what’s next sou folks I’m back again at the moment I found a new St we got a couple of brummy lads here I’ve actually developed something for visors it’s an electric insert that stops your Visa fogging I’ll just turn it

Around they’re called viz they got this insert it’s it’s metallic it’s it’s electronic and you plug it in I’ll show you one there got one we got one in there in a case here these are the batteries although they’re quite big you can fit them in your tank b or anything

I’ve been having a chat I’m hoping to do a demonstration with them we got the unit here so here we go we’re going to get a quick demonstration of it working Aris has pushed the button so we got an helmet inside a cleared environment where it’s sealed so he’s going to

Create some steam and condensation and then the battery will kick in and I believe originally goes to a boost stage right and it actually clears the Visa and you you leave it on it can leave it on for 8 hours during the day so you’ve got like a constant

It’s more of a preventative so before you missed you clear and you stay cleared all day fascinating so here we go not sure what you can see starting to steam up yeah you can see that so now the Boost kicks in so that’ll start to flash in a second once that starts flashing

Bch pack turns on first thing it does is go into the boost mode so there you are it’s early morning it’s raining very heav your voice has misted up and you’re thinking course is that traffic light on green or red here we go that’s how quick

It starts to ease off that’s good in it I mean you can see around the insert how much condensation inside there it’s very aggressive so what are we talking 15 seconds clear as a bell that’s plent clear enough to see through but of course n to just stay in

That state until your your rid’s over wellow I’m impressed Aris thank you very much appre I’ll send you an email when I get back sounds good look forward to working with you fantastic thanks very much thanks ly take care cheers I’ve thought I better show you this so

There’s Rod asam’s rotary I’ll come around get a closeup the old NSR the original rotary the old croon design fantastic and now I’m just going to scoot across and we got the V4 SV in the same colors full carbon fiber package absolutely drop dead gorgeous that’s probably the prettiest bike at the Show very very nice it’s called the v4s 588 that’s very nice I’ll come around the other side and show you some of the other models in the same delvery so here we’ve got the uh V4 CR that’s amazing that is look at that kind of not on the

Back it’s worth coming to show just to see this to be fair I really do like that and I’ve got the original 961 there I’m going to come around so here we go this is the 961 The Commando it’s called the Commando 961 Le 588 look at the finish on

That I love the paint work there’s no prices on any of these in the 588 colors but that is superb isn’t it we got a nice stand not NE just give it a bit of a look around it’s very very busy lots of people on the Norton

Stand we got a there semi- built have a look at that and of course he’s the 961 CR beautiful looking bike I prefer the one with the flat bars personally that’s got the clipons anyway see you in a minute okay I’ve got to show you this I

Can remember being 17 years old in the the old little Bike Shop in wara and looking at one of these 900 Super Sport thinking if only I could afford that’s the one that is absolutely my idea of a beautiful motorcycle I forgot how skinny the wheels was

Cracking I’m just going to show you this if only th motorcycles and let me ride their bikes and video them I would love to take this one out the 800c leonino Benelli gorgeous looking bike originally Kawasaki based of course made in China can’t absolutely fault it it’s gorgeous

In it 7 Grand on the road similar to the CF Moto version it’s got the Caroll bars on it I do like that wow anyway there we are we’ve pretty much um add it I’m going to stand here with the banelli swing in the background I do like these Bellis well I think

That’s the show I’ve I’ve pretty much tried to film everything that I’m probably going to ride and maybe a few others star of the show I don’t know it’s a toughy last year it was the royal mfield got to say the imilan is an absolute gorgeous bit of kit

But I do like the Suzuki I think the 800r and the uh 1000cc GX are both very nice bikes pretty impressed with Suzuki in general it’s a good show if you can get come and have a look it’s cracking there’s a lot going on there’s a lot

Happening in the areas the zones and whatever displays it’s worth coming worth a look anyway if you’ve enjoyed the video click on the like subscribe ring that Bell that’s be a question I’m man too happy to answer there’s lots of stuff going on in the background but

We’ll see what happens anyway so this is the lofty boa saying Tada for now Tada
