Wow that was certainly one of the better motorcycle shows that we have had in a while. Soooo many beautiful bikes and lots of new intros. I admit that I have not been reading up on the latest and greatest so there were a lot of new surprises for me.
Let’s start with Harley Davidson…
Tons of new product, such as the new 500 and 750 Street…including several customized with factory parts. I really liked this one
Although it looks really small next to me lol
More variants
One of my favourites at the last show, CVO Street Glide
Lol, I always manage to find something to match whatever shoes I wear to the show
Perhaps I need this buckle too
Equally sparkley…Sparkley Davidson?
This is certainly the Hoover Davidson..wow the electric Harley sounds like a vacuum! Check out the vid
Badass trike
Moving on to Ducati…they had several Diavals, sadly no AMG variant but they did have the carbon…good thing I wore black and white lol
The new 1299
And smaller brother the 899
Hypermotard
Multistrada
Monster
A complete surprise for me..the Scrambler! Looks great in person
More high end Italian bikes from MV Augusta..every one of them was beautiful. Every single one.
Dragster
Brutale
Aprillia also had a nice lineup
Including the RSV racer
And RSV4 street bike
Tuono
Moto Guzzi
Stunning race bike from Triumph
Rocket
Speed Triple…somehow it seems more conservative and less hooligan
Daytona
Bonneville
Tiger
Another stunning race bike, this time from BMW
S1000RR
K1300S
R1200GS
Next, KTM
RC8 1190R
Duke 690
Super Adventure
The fit and finish on Indians is incredible
One of my favourites of the show, Indian Scout
More great bikes from Indian
On to the Japanese bikes, I thought Kawasaki had the most impressive lineup.
In fact, the new Ninja was one of my favourites of the show. It reminded me of the Pagani Zonda R.
More Ninjas
My favourite Japanese bike, the Hayabusa
Love the R1
And the even crazier YZF-R1M
R3
V-STAR 1300 DELUXE SE…all 80 inches of it lol
And from Honda
The CBR900R
I am a big fan of Arai helmets, I have their GP-5W, designed for touring car racing.
And finally, something completely different, the Polaris Slingshot…this thing was wild! And bigger than you might think.
All in all a great show.
