I haven't been to a Montreal show since the days of Salon de Moto. It was a much bigger show than Toronto at that time. Unless the current organizers are able to provide a proper list of exhibitors/retailers it's a tough call. Sorry I don't have a better answer.

One step ahead of the cartels ?

A lot of the OEMs ditched last year, propped up by dealer exhibits. If you can find a complete, detailed list of who will be attending that might help ? "More information coming soon." - sigh...

How do you know so much ??? :sneaky:

I know where most of Mike Taylor's Kawasaki ZX750RR is, but I'm sworn to secrecy.

It's one of 3 prototype pre-production machines built for the (1968 ?) Tokyo Motor Show. I've been told that none of them exist any more (likely crushed). :confused:

Fair question - that pic was taken a long time ago.

Do houses of ill repute take credit cards ? I never knew that.

There's something funny with the side covers too - no vents like the 1969s and 1970s. Likely one off, hand made. And there appears to be some kind of metal bar running between the frame rails just above the oil filter. I wonder what that is about ?

They must have used an entire CB450 drum brake front end and maybe even a CB450 gas tank - it looks narrower than the later production models.

East, west, north, south ? Let's narrow it down.

Have a friend who lives just outside Kingston, apparently it was quite a show last night.

Just a thought - instead of paying for overpriced tickets to watch overpaid professional athletes why not go to your local rink or ball diamond and watch the local house league kids play ? Maybe buy the teams a hot chocolate or and ice cream after. I'll guarantee it'll be a lot of fun and a...

The small displacement BMWs are made offshore and likely make up a huge majority of their sales numbers. The list is where things are made, not necessarily where they are sold. India produced something like 24 million machines last year mostly for domestic consumption but that is slowly changing.

Remember commie cars like Lada? How'd that work out long term? For the Chinese 49,000 cars is likely one day's production.

Complicated, isn't it ? :)

Yes, I wish the data was drilled down a little better.

Even the Japanese build or assemble a lot of stuff offshore. Honda has plants in Brazil, Thailand and elsewhere for instance. You'd have to look at the VINS to figure out what comes from where.

How many BMWs are manufactured domestically and how many are outsourced ? Most of their smaller displacement machines are built in Asia, n'est-ce pas ?
