The MAM Journals -Motorcycle Live Show 2023 

Great video! One of the better tours of Motorcycle Live I've watched! Really enjoy hearing your opinions and thoughts on bikes, you produce excellent depth in your videos. Plus you have a very similar appreciation as myself in motorcycles, lover if the classics and classic looking models, but very appreciative of some newer tech at the same time. Keep up the great work!!

Well done great presentation style as always very engaging some beaut new bikes spoilt for choice

Great video...thank you!

Thanks Michael!

Great video again Michael, saved me going to the show this year 😊

I have to admit I skimmed it. So many moto show videos. Thumbs up, though. Nick

I was at the show on Monday, nice to say hello to you as I’ve watched most of your videos 👍🏻

Thanks great vid

Thanks!

I enjoyed your smile and obvious enjoyment. Looks like a couple new bikes in Michaels future and maybe a trip? Nice.

Great vid as always....

Managed to spot myself filming on the BMW stand as you were filming the M sport bikes. Was an interesting show but a shame there were no Guzzi, Aprilia or Harley on show.

Great video once again Michael. Well done. I must admit, I avoided the RE stand like the plague. 😁

Absolutely 😂.

Thanks Michael, good video. I went yesterday and enjoyed it.

I went to the show on Saturday and really enjoyed it. My favourite bike was the zx4rr. I find that bike really intriguing. Another great video, thanks for sharing.

great video as always almost feels like we are there for a chat, some great new bikes this year and awesome deals around, still out of reach for me but the new GS and the new GSX1000GX would be top of the list or even the 800DE as a regular bike next to my old blade , roll on spring

Very nice, well-rounded tour. I hear Canada is on some folks touring bucket list.... 😉

Michael always unique on his unique way to talk bikes

I guess you could of just changed my mind on my first new bike in many years, a clue I have a red one from the first year of manufacture (1987) Thanks for another superb video 🙂

Excellent presentation !!!!!!

I went to the bike show on Tuesday and enjoyed it more than any recent show. Agree with many of your choices, especially the RE's, and the big Suzuki Hayabusa. For me though the stand out bike was the BMW R18 touring. What a machine...

Another really interesting video your knowledge on so many bikes is amazing . The GS looks great but at 22 grand for a fully specked up version it's a little rich for my tastes. Did you see the new blacked out GoldStar, blacked out bikes are not really my scene but at £5999 + otr its price now undercuts the Interceptor.

Interesting video as always, thank you. Keen to see your full DL800 RE review to see if you agree with me about the screen.

Again, a very fine and detailed video! The GS with green and yellow is very attractive - and I like it being more smooth/lighter looking than earlier models (did I get the BMW virus already?)! Thanks!

Enjoyed that! You mentioned that Harley Davidson weren't there and Piaggio are also a notable absentee this year, so there were no Moto Guzzi or Aprilia stands either. Wonder why?

Good video and u always enjoy your reviews so keep it up! I would argue that the average salary is less relavent now than 50 years ago given income inequality has massively increased and a greater proportion of income is now required for housing, food and fuel etc. I take your point but for normal working people modern motorcycles are unaffordable and frankly without PCP (basically rental) sales would be 80-90% less than they are now and there would be no sustainable motorcycle market in the uk. Its also worth noting that bikes are much more expensive here than in the USA, Japan and continental Europe. Frankly i think we are being fleeced in the UK and its only 'creative marketing' (read PCP) that is getting most bikes out if dealerships.

Another very all encompassing video Michael, thank you. Apparently HD decided that the fall off of attendance wasn't worth their visit, not sure if that was a good decision? Moto Guzzi was supposed to be there but didn't turn up which was a big disappointment to my mate who travelled from Carlisle to see the Stelvio, a shame MV weren't there. I was a little disappointed with Henry's kettle, I noticed no 'Watercooled' on the cylinder walls, it was still tidy as one would expect from such a genius as Allen Millyard. A question for a Z1 aficionado, I know you're a bit 'vertically challenged' your words, but don't you find that the Z900RS's are so much smaller than the original Z1's?

Yes you can, 2nd hand. 😂

The 1st GSXR model was a 400 not a 750

How was the Suzuki gx for height and size compared to your gt.

What have you got against the new Norton 🤔🤔

BMW don’t sell small ones? What’s the 310? I would say that’s pretty small myself.

No Chinese motorcycles?

It's funny how you emphasize the importance of the new GS. I don't think it will attract any new riders, it's just the next GS. Just maybe, the new Himalyan will stir the global market much more.

Good review of the show, some great bikes and wonderful you didnt get stuck on the BMW or RE stands🥱. Surprised you never got to see the new Black BSA Gold Star.
