Carole Nash Motorcycle Show 2010 (Inc Ramp'd Motocross Freestyle)

Carole Nash Motorcycle Show 2010 (Inc Ramp'd Motocross Freestyle) Nov 27-Dec 5.

As always, the Carole Nash Motorcycle Show at the NEC in Birmingham didn't fail to showcase the bikes, new, current and classic that are on offer to bikers, aswell as showcasing some of the best custom bikes from around the country. It also gives us a great opportunity to get our hands on gear with a decent discount, from gloves, jackets and lids, to spares, gadgets, and stands.

The show had all of the major manufacturers, Triumph, Yamaha, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Harley Davidson, Honda, Ducati, Mv Augusta, KTM and Victory, aswell as smaller names such as Hyosung and Sym.

The one off customs were fantastic this year, including a boat load of bikes customed by enthusiasts in the UK, and this Suzuki Hayabusa which was commissioned by Pepsi for an advertising campaignm featuring Beyonce, J-Lo, and David Beckham. The bike shown here was used by J-Lo in the advert.

The show also included some beautiful classic bikes, such as Royal Enfield, and Norton. On the Royal Enfield Stand, a bike lots of people will recognise from the latest Harry Potter film, complete with sidecar.

The wide range of bikes naturally included some of the fastest and most expensive bikes, from the 186mph Yamaha R1 (left) to the Suzuki Hayabusa (yes, that is me sat on the 'Busa).

The superbikes weren't all limited to the run of the mill, ride out of the dealer types either, with examples of the racing bikes which competed in championships this last year.



As you can see, the standard of the customisation this year is first class, with some truly beautiful machines graving the stands, from imposing streetfighters to chromed choppers.

I really enjoyed this years show, and can't wait to see what 2011's will bring.
