Anyone notice if MV Rivale is there?

Yeah its there.

I liked the show, it was nice. I got to sit on everything I was curious about and saw everything I wanted to. I also got someone else hooked into riding I hope. Signed up for some demo days too. Overall a great show. Lots of helpful people on hand to answer all my stupid questions. Lots of incentives too. Was not too busy at all and never felt rushed.

Just wish there was some more choice for food.. The people I came with were getting hangry towards the end..
 
It was a good show...good to see you Roomie & Nick!

Great pictures man, I won't even bother posting mine. Especially impressed with the H2R one, it was so lit up and reflective taking a nice picture was a real pain in the ***...

What time was that BP? The floor looked slippery, me and Paulo left after watching it for 5 minutes. I said to Paulo if there was going to be a show with an accident it was going to be this one.
 
Car show trumped the bike show, especially with it taking over its usual location at the MTCC. Didn't even realize it was on until now. Ah well, bought a new bike already so not much need.

This was in the 1 PM show on Saturday right at the end. It was just a gentle tap ... no big deal. I think they wanted to come up to the fence in a stoppie, but they slid instead.

The stunt riders both low-sided and slid into the fence yesterday!

lol those two guys were sketchy to say the least - Normally when stunt riders miss a mark they still look under control, like they have a margin for error, those two look like they were riding way above and beyond that margin.

i spend a lot of time checking out a few naked bikes, fz09 and the moto guzzi cafe' racer v7....nice!!!
Click to expand...
So are you buying the FZ09?

Had a great time, I don't think i have sat on so many bikes at any show. Well worth whatever money costs for a few hours of entertainment.

Is there a blue? or you mean the metallic grey with the blue wheels?

I am not into yellow but that one with the FZ09 in yellow on the side is kind of nice, but the metallic grey with blue is also nice

Good luck deciding :)

bring your own bottled water? even that last time was a few dollars. :rolleyes:

I think it was $5.25 at the food stands run by the landlords, and $2.75 in the machines.

It was really quiet late on Saturday, but a regular says that it's like that every year.

I liked the Vintage displays. But of course you couldn't sit on them.

Were the KTM Duke 390 and RC390 there?
Click to expand...

Yeah, both were there.
The Duke 390 is priced at $5500 and the RC390 is $500 more. Gpbikes website says the Duke390 will be $6099 and the RC390 will be $6599. So.... who knows how much it really is.

The guy in the ktm booth said their site prices include freight and pdi is why they are higher.
 
Correct, they will normally charge these. But I was able to get it for $5999+HST @ GP.
 
Tuono 1100 was not there (I didn't see it if it was, and it was not at the Aprilia booth if it was).

But the 2014 1000cc was there and it was spectacular. Whenever I walked by the guy was cleaning the drool, spuge and evidence of sexual abuse off it.
 
I went Friday evening, really enjoyed the show. Was looking at bike's to eventually replace my wife's CBR250 assuming she ever gets off her butt and starts riding. Lots of nice bike's coming out that will be a good next step up.

Scrambler seems like it will be a big hit, I wouldn't mind spending some time tooling around on that. I think they will eat Triumph's lunch over the next few years and force them to update their stale classic bike lineup.

I wanted to check out the new Yammy FJ-09 being more of a sport touring kind of guy, but was disappointed in how it looked in person, especially the cockpit. I was more pleasantly surprised by the new Kawasaki Versys 650/LT.

I signed up to 'ride' the Livewire (I'm already on Harley's spam list) and found it to be excessively shakey and loud - like a Harley. I don't get it. I currently commute on a Zero XU and love how quiet, smooth and nimble it is. Maybe an on road test would be different.
