Round-up: 2017 Carole Nash MCN London Motorcycle Show

The 2017 Carole Nash MCN London Motorcycle Show opened its doors to visitors on Friday with punters arriving in a flurry to see the latest bikes, buy gear and watch the Australian and British ‘Slide’ teams in the arena.

This year’s show had it all, and then some. The live action ‘Slide’ show, which saw the likes of John McGuinness, Chris Walker, Neil Hodgson, Troy Corser and Billy McConnell go head-to-head in a series of flat-track races.

There were also loads of new bikes on display, including the 2017 Ducati SuperSport S, the Norton V4, Yamaha’s R6 and Honda’s Fireblade.

The crowd also seemed very impressed as Triumph’s Street Triple RS made it’s first public UK appearance, as it was ridden by US stunt riders Ernie Vigil and Nick Apex.

Several zones, including an adventure one was filled with companies offering dream adventures, and there was also a host of talks from some of the best adventure riders in the world.

If classic or custom bikes was your thing then the Classic Bike of the Year finalists and the London Custom Bike Building Championships winners were announced.

There were also plenty of special bikes firing-up over the course of the weekend, including Ducati MotoGP bikes.
