Victory Motorcycles CORE concept bike to be at the 2009 Carole Nash NEC Bike Show

Victory Motorcycles CORE concept bike will make its first European public appearance at the 2009 Carole Nash International Motorcycle & Scooter Show.

Polaris Lead Industrial Designer Michael Song said “CORE is pure motorcycle. We wanted to strip everything that is not critical and build a motorcycle that borrows the production technologies we have incorporated into the Victory Vision. The frame and engine architecture of the Victory Vision was our inspiration however we wanted to make a statement beyond ‘custom’ and create something completely unique.”

Ride safe.

Harley-Davidson and Buell no show at 2008 NEC Bike Show!

Harley-Davidson and Buell have announced today that they will not be exhibiting at the 2009 International Motorcycle and Scooter Show at the Birmingham NEC later this year. This comes after Honda advised it would not be exhibiting at the show earlier this year.

Well personally this is a great shame for all UK motorcyclists, three major motorcycle marques won't now be at the show. It makes you wonder who's next to pull out and quite bizarre when the show is run by the Motor Cycle Industry Assocation whom these maufacturers support!

It means we could be left only with the MCN London Motorcycle Show as the major national motorcycle show he way things are going!!!

Ride safe.

New Honda Models for 2209

Honda have launched a number of new or revised models for 2009, many of which were available to see on the Honda stand on the Carole Nash International Motorcycle and Scooter Show, these included:-


Honda have launched the new Honda CBF125. Honda claim that he CBF125s DNA combines everything that Hondas founder, Soichiro Honda, instilled into his first motorcycles affordable, reliable, safe, good quality and a joy to own and use.

Doubless this new 125cc motorcycle from Honda will prove to be as popular as the outgoing CG125.


With apparently the best selling scooter range in Europe, Honda have further expanded their SH range of scooters with the newly revised 2009 SH125i scooter with a host of styling changes.


Honda have once again updated their highly successful CBR600RR for 2009 with the addition of optional electronically-controlled Combined ABS and a host of other improvements, including lower weight, new undercowl, significant engine changes, new exhaust system and new instrumentation.


Like the CBR600RR the CBR1000RR has the option of electronically-controlled combined ABS for 2009. The 2009 Honda CBR1000RR is available in HRC tricolour version to celebrate 50 years of Honda racing victories.


Honda have updated the popular middleweight offering of the Honda CB600F Hornet for 2009 with new adjustable suspension, styling updates including black metallic parts, a new meter panel and a brand new colour range.


Honda have introduced upgraded off-roaders in the guise of the 2009 CR450F and the CR250F.

The CRF450R is slimmer, lighter and more powerful and includes an all-new and lightweight fuel-injection and ignition system, which features a revolutionary fuel-injection indicator with engine stop switch to show the pre-race condition of the fuel-injection system a first for Honda


The CR250F benefits from a number of changes to the engine and gearbox and more edgy styling for 2009.

New Yamaha models for 2009

Yamaha have launched a host of new models for 2009 all of which they are currently displaying at this years Carole Nash International Motorcycle and Scooter Show.



These include the awesome new Yamaha VMAX. Yamaha have used this bike to showcase it's cutting-edge engine and chassis technology from the YCC-I and YCC-T engine control systems, plus the aluminium frame and the radial-mounted 6-piston front brakes, all providing 200 PS* and 167 Nm of torque.

All I know is it looks fantastic!



From radical to more conventional, Yamaha have relaunched their tried and trusted Diversion as the new Yamaha XJ6 Diversion. The bike has a new lightweight front cowl and a new look and a newly developed 600cc engine. The new model is also offered with ABS as an option.




From mid range to top range, Yamaha have again massively revised their top Sports bike the legendary R1. The new 2009 Yamaha YZF-R1 has the most significant development in engine and chassis technology. With an all new 998cc engine influenced the championship winning M1. The bike now has a slipper clutch.
The new engine is housed in a newly designed aluminium Deltabox frame.

Again I just think the new black and gold colour option is just stunning.

For those of you who prefer cruisers, Yamaha have launched an all new Yamaha XVS950A Midnight Star with a newly-designed 942cc high-torque air-cooled V-twin SOHC engine.


For those of an off-road persuasion there is the new Yamaha WR125X and WR125R enduro and supermoto models.
