Went to the bike show in Birmingham today. Had a sit on all the latest bikes, including the new Ducati 1198 and KTM RC8. There was also a naked FZ6 in a rather fetching yellow. Here are some pics:
I caught an hour long programme on Eurosport last night about the show, all it seemed to be was an advert for Carole Nash.
Aren't you sposed to be able to get bargains at the trade stands at these shows?
StarWars bike? Isn't that the Bat Bike from the Batman film?
Looks like it to me Nooj.If you look behind the bike the photo on the wall is of the joker and to his right is the bat cape.
Great photos Lugs :thumbup:

yup its the bat bike
as there arent any handlebars you steer it with your shoulders apparently, bruce did say he looked at an fz6 but the lack of machine guns put him off
I went last monday and was disappointed at the lack of deals on anything. I bought a litre of ACF 50 at internet prices (less the p&p so a little discount), but wanted to buy a new lid and they were the same price as local dealer.
I went to the NEC last year and among other things I had in mind was a new helmet (the arai condor). I knew the list price was £249.99 and shopped around so that I got it for a straight £180.00.
Also picked up a touring screen from the Alf England stall £15.00 off, but ruined all my good work by blowing the discounts and a bit more in the Bull ring

The grips appear to be vertical. You can just barely make out the right grip and brake lever.
