Cleveland Bike Show 2010

[Porkchop]

Hey all! I know I havn't been around these parts in awhile, but I thought I'd see if anybody is interested.

I will be going up to the Cleveland International Motorcycle show on Sunday the 31st with a friend or two. Any Ohio people going?

Racedoll, Jojo, or Topgun???? :idk:

DC was last weekend, while I didn't go I know several that did. They all said it was sorta a disappointment compared to previous years. Less vendors, less manufacturers, etc. Drastically scaled back, due to the economy, no doubt.

[racedoll]

I doubt we will go this year but if we do, I will let you know. Enjoy the show!

That's exactly how it was at the Greenville, SC show compared to the previous year...

I figured. With Buell being nixed and I figure Moto Guzzi wouldn't show again with their financial troubles.

The Big 4, Ducati, Aprilla, BMW, and KTM should be there. I just wish Triumph would show up in Cleveland. They didn't last year.... :panic:

I got to sit on a s1000rr today at detroits auto show so Im good on that one. Definitely a sweet bike with a nice feel. I liked it A LOT better than the feel of the 1198.

And I may be up there on sunday. I know if I go itll be then but Im not 100% yet.

I was up in the air about BMW, but KTM??? Did you see their booth last year? It was rediculous! You would think with both of the company's flagship bikes coming to the states this year, that they would want the publicity.

All of the cool kids go on Sunday!!! :dthumb:

Aprilia wasn't there either. A couple shops had a bike or two on display from those companies...but no factory display.

They werent in NY either. No aprilia and no ktm, triumph was there though. I actualy thought the show was prety good this year. I got a set of SS brakelines for the track bike, a pin for my pitbull front stand and some new mounting hardware for my condor stands.

Also spent a lot of time with the nesba guys since I will be doing 4-6 days with them this year since they go to vir south and beaver run.

Sounds like it worked out for you.

it def did, i was quite happy with the show this year. Not a lot of the overpriced custom choppers, and just a small area with custom sportbikes and for once I dont think the stunnas had any booths this year. Only saw a few assclowns in the wannabe bullet proof vests :lol:

[marko138]

I'd say that adds up to a decent show. :lol:

Not a lot of eyecandy though, but I did go on friday. usualy they have some busted ass models but they dress em up in lycra minidresses and high heels so its something to look at :lol:

I'd be psyched if Triumph made it to Cleveland! :rockwoot: I don't really care about KTM, I sat on the RC8 last year, but I always felt so good on Aprilia stuff.

We'll just have to see... 4 days....

I want to see Norton :lol:
Just got the latest Motorcyclist and they had a blurb about it. The Commando looks a lot like the cafe racers from triumph and ducati.

:rockwoot: That's what I'm talking about! IIRC, they'll start at $10k with the special Ohlins/Brembo version at $15k. Competitive pricing.

[racedoll]

I like! :dthumb:

[Phenix_Rider]

There was talk of bringing back a rotary racer too.

That thing looks so uncomfortable, but damn is it sexy.
