Bike/ATV show this weekend

[beyondmike]

Anyone go to the show at the roundup center? I'm thinking of going but was wondering if anyone went? If so, what did you think of the show? Thanks!

I am heading down today at some point. Thinking of building a bike or taking on a small project. Looking forward to it.

Pedal or motor? I know nothing about bikes, but my son has an '06 Specialized P2' frame. Brand new. He's looking to get rid of it.

im going today with a couple buddies. hopefully its decent its so damn expensive to park and get in these days. i also think a bike show should be held in spring/summer but what do i know( totally off topic lol )

They have the show now so you have a couple of months to soften the wife up so she'll let you spend another $15,000 on a toy that just for you.

some super nice bikes there..

Really impressed with the Ninja 400 or 450 cant remember which CC it is..

Also really likes the CBR 400cc aswell..

The CBR600 I fell in love with tho.. Feels amazing for me.

Went down and wandered with a bunch of people. Was fun to wander around but nothing really new and exciting for me.

- New Duc is ugly as shit and looks like that DN-01 Honda Auto bike.
- Harley has some nice bikes this year that I could see myself on.
- Yamaha V-Star 1100 Custom was a damned nice bike too.
- Some of the vendors were pushy as shit.
- The trials guys were good. The english dude was amazing on that bike.

Overall worth going just to feel the urge build up in me, however not really into getting a new bike unless I am changing to a cruiser.

400.

It is a nice bike, I think Kawi is splitting their market a bit to much.

250
400
650
600


getting lots of bikes in that low cc

Do they post prices on the bikes???

[Cos]

^^ depends on the company. I know Duc and Harley had prices. I know Suzuki and Yamaha didnt.

[Twin_Cam_Turbo]

I am glad I picked up my Raptor 250 last spring. I only got a few days in but its fun as hell to ride a sports ATV. Just wish it had selectable 4WD and a bit more ground clearance at times...

i dont know whether to hate it or like it. sure is interesting!

[Cos]

Towards performance there isn't much to hate. Towards looks, its always a touchy one with their literbikes as of late.
Frick I wish I went. Dammit..... :banghead:

[CUG]

I've clearly lost my enthusiasm. The second I got off the plane on friday I went down with a bunch of friends. Socializing is always more fun than looking at bikes, I think.

[HHURICANE1]

Went and saw my next new bike. Ducati 848 Evo. :drool: Was thinking of a R1 but for the same $ I can have a Ducati.

read a bit more about that Ducati before you buy it... bottom shelf suspension still plagues that model... another option would be to buy an older 1098s.. much better if you are set on a Duc
