I realise it's of limited interest to most muppets (except maybe to comment the on dodgy indian build quality ) but I couldn't see LML listed this year on the list of exhibitors.
They actually had a pretty good display last year (if you like that sort of thing and being a glutton for punishment I do, in spite of a knackered big end and dodgy indicators on my 2011 scoot )

I was looking forward to seeing the new 200 but I guess I'll find out tomorrow whether they are there this year.

Cheers for the post mate. Great pics, mostly helped me to the decision I am very happy with my 2010 Burgy 400 at the moment. Do fancy the Integra but still can't really like the front end as much as the Burgy. I know the power would be nice but the Burgy takes me and the missus all over the UK and still gives 60+ mpg with two up. The next one will have to be good to tempt me away........

quote"rk1 su : - Sue fell in love with the Sym GTS 300 and didnt want to sit on any other scoots !
Looking on second hand prices, they seem very low compared to other Jap stuff, is it due to badly made bikes and aftersales or other reasons ? as £3900 for a 300 seems ok as the S-Wing 125 is almost the same price."
the syms are a very good make.iv'e had the gts 250i and also regret selling it the same as martb4632.they are well built ,but have realistic price tags not like the jap over priced stuff...and when the time is right i may buy a gts 300 .

I sat on the new t max and bmw c600 and the yamaha felt the better bike, the build quality on the bmw seemed a little flimsy.

Yamaha has 10 years more knowledge in this sector anyway

The t max would definitely get the order if I was in the market for a maxi but I'm not and up to now I haven't seen a better bike than my vespa

The BMW rep told me the ones the brought to the NEC were pre production and not indicative of the final quality (he said this, I didn't need to ask). He also said the spec hadn't been finalised so they mayoffer base models without bells and whistles - such as heating - for less. It was nice to see them so enthusiastic about their new scoots. The GT is very very comfy and I think it looks great I will defo be taking a look at these when they are for sale.

The TMax in contrast is very well made but pig ugly, the rep seemed almost embarressed to be seen next to it. Maybe someone at Yamaha had a bet with Honda that they could make something uglier than the Integra?

Those cpi birds were well fit up close but the one with purple hair would have to sit in a bowl of dettol for a few hours before doing the juju.

I saw them on the first day on Facebook and I went yesterday and I don't think they have changed outfits for a week.
