The 2026 Toronto Motorcycle and Powersport Show

[RL1]

Harley-Davidson always has a huge presence at this show so I often start or end my reviews with them. This year is no different lol. So here we go with Harley!

Baggers seemed to be the theme as they brought a lot of them! Case in point, all CVO bikes this year are part of the Grand American Touring line!

CVO Road Glide ST

CVO Street Glide

CVO Street Glide ST

I really liked the red windscreen

Really cool track-ready suspension featuring adjustable front inverted forks with DLC-coated sliders and rear remote-reservoir shocks!

Don’t recall seeing carbon fiber trim on a Harley before!

CVO Street Glide Limited

There is even a CVO trike, the Street Glide 3!

Non CVO Road Glides and Street Glides

My absolute favourite bike of the show (and maybe ever), the Police Road Glide!!!

I was definitely wearing the right hat

The programmable red and blue lights are integrated into the fairing while rear lights mount to the Tour-Pak luggage carrier. Together they can function as sequential left, right, or combined directional arrows. I was also told they are insanely bright!

Controls for the factory installed siren allow Officers to choose power and tone and even link the horn button to fire the siren air horn! The system shuts off the siren automatically with the lights or when the kickstand is lowered!

I need one of these to go with my dream Zodiac MilPro Hurricane police boat

ceriksson liked it too

More Police bikes, from the OPP

And if you think Harleys don’t move fast enough to be Police bikes, check out these demos! The sound is incredible!

Now you cant talk about Harley without mentioning the Terminator’s bike, the Fat Boy.

Per tradition, I always get a pic of me on a Fat Boy at every bike show.

Honda also had a huge presence at this show. I liked the Ben Young CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP with its well worn slicks.

versus a new stock CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP

ceriksson liked this one too

The CBR6650R with new e-clutch

The Africa Twin is my favourite from Honda

The black paint is nice

But I prefer the classic red/white

Even better, a rally spec

Custom NX500

I liked the lights on the Rebel 1100 Touring

Moving on to beautiful Italian bikes, not one but two MV Agusta Superveloce

The lighting did not do justice to this black Brutale, which certainly lived up to its name in a menacing black

 

[RL1]

ceriksson liked this one the best

Much better in all black than blue/silver

Dragster

Both Ducati Canada and GP Bikes had Ducati on display

Ducati Streetfighter v4

Ducati Panigale

Ducati Monster

If you find stock Ducati too subtle, check out these stunning track monsters from OPP Racing

A couple of Moto Guzzi, including a V7 Special

and V100

Aprilia RSV4

and Tuareg Rally

Huge range of bikes from Triumph from the tiny TXP-12

To the monstrous Rocket 3 Storm GT

 

[RL1]

Street Triple 765 RX

Trident

Thruxton 400

Scrambler 1200XE

Bonneville Bobber

KTM 990 RC R

A sea of blue from Yamaha

YZF R1

BMW

S1000RR

I didn’t take pics of the stock GS series so here are some in their more natural state

More modified BMW GS

Kove

 

[RL1]

Not sure how you sit on this one

Beachman ’64 e-bike

Signed helmet from one of the riders at Isle of Man

MT Helmets had a huge selection, I liked these two

Great to see my friends from Mad Hatter Industries. The veteran owned/operated apparel company is also very into bikes and had their own custom on display in addition to being part of the Harley demo riding team.

So there you go, not quite as big or as many special editions as last year but the Harley Road Glide Police made up for it.

Great pics. Thanks for taking the time to put this thread together!

 

[POWERMAN]

Thank you VERY MUCH for the pics!!
Dunno why, but something seems off with Harley's designs lately. The Brutale's looked gorgeous. No wonder they command top dollar.

I've been toying with the idea of getting a new bike for my 40th birthday next year. Leaning more towards a cruiser. Looks like the Honda Rebel and Triumph Bobber are out (too small). Still leaning towards the Indian Scout or Triumph Rocket. The Sportster1250 was nice to sit on but not sure I could live with its design.
Dont think I'd want to pick up a Naked or Sport variant as I like to go cruising around the entire day.

The one HD bagger we looked at was seventy-one grand!!!

I liked the lights on the Rebel but wasnt crazy about it otherwise.

I looked at the Sportster S at last month's show (at the International Centre) and quite liked it.

The Rocket is amazing! I was hoping they would have the Evil Knievel limited edition but no luck lol. I saw the Indians but didnt take any pics.
