Anyone going? I'm going tomorrow (Saturday), went last year for the first time and actually it wasn't bad, plenty of small stalls to look around

What do you think about this show? Is it worth visiting (next year) if I have to fly 3hours, book a hotel and spend a lot of money for this? :)

In all honesty Northern - no, not worth spending a lot of money to attend in my opinion. It's a nice few hours out, but many major suppliers (like Givi for instance), don't attend and the actual main manufacturer stands are quite small.

Bike shows can be great but I can't think of many (or any) that would be worth flying three hours to get to.  Better off spending your time and money going to MotoGP or Superbikes or IoM.

I see... So other word - if I deside to earn extra points from my Mrs, it will be nice to take her to London in February  (and then,among other activities, visit show) :)
Other ways it's not worth it...

Thank you, Dave, but I have bin in London for many times (last time in the first days of this February). Also have bin in Excel. Just never during the bike show. Knowing how big is Excel, I was thinking what this bike show could be pretty impressive.

Does bike show take place on both sides of Excel or just on one side?

Just on the one side, on the other side (both this and last year) was a push bike show
