First off I have to give the disclaimer that I still haven’t fixed my camera since it broke at SHOT show so these pics were taken with my mobile… sorry for the picture quality.

The Harley booth was by far the most fun of the show. They had a live DJ spinning music (following Ducati’s lead from last year’s show) and it is clear from the way the staff was dressed (and their demographic) that Harley was targeting a younger audience. I would say it worked well! Seriously I loved the vibe and just wanted to hang out at their booth lol.

My favourites were this Street Bob

And this trike

I also love the front fairing on the Road Glide Special

Again, too bad I did not have my DSLR to capture the metallic paint on these two

Street 500

In terms of bikes though, I think BMW had the most impressive selection and I didn’t even get pics of all their lines (Sport, Tour, Adventure, Heritage, Urban Mobility). First up from their sport line, the stunning HP4 Race

S1000RR

Lots of variations of the RnineT from their heritage line

R1200GS Adventure

I have given props to the Hayabusa in past reviews…indeed, it has been around for quite a few years now and if it aint broke…just introduce new colour schemes lol. I gotta say, I really found the look appealing.

As I did on this absolutely menacing V-Max…wow badass.

I dare say more badass than the new Ducati X-Diaval

Of course the big news at Ducati was the Panigale V4S…big crowds around this bike..i was hoping to see the 1299 Panigale R FE but no such luck

The 959

Supersport

Multistrada Enduro (note the same wheels as the BMW adventure)

All in all I would say the Ducati booth was more low key than past shows.

Then again, the show in general was smaller than previous years. In any case…

Indian Scout

The retro Scout FTR 750..what a beauty!

Indian Springfield Dark Horse

The all new Triumph Speed Triple

From their Modern Classics line, the Street Scrambler

Bonneville Bobber

Thruxton

Aprilia RSV4

Moto Guzzi MGX Flying Fortress (black) and Audace (orange)

I reported on these carbon fiber Kawasakis last year

Ninja 1300

Honda CBRs

Good idea for my living room lol

Yamaha R1

Alright on to the autoshow next week…hopefully my camera will be fixed by then.
