IMS Cycle World 2011 Show
 

So my BIL asked me to go as the MC guy, to help him look thru the new touring models.

So this Kawasaki Voyager was the main attraction for my BIL

nice sticker price. But like a Victory Vision, a test drive could kill it.

He really likes it

They are offering a stripped down version for more "solo riding" per the Kaw Corp people there. To which I said, yeah it's the "Street Glide" version DUH.

But they switched the bag type too, for the negative. Side opening <thumbs down>

Yummy, I bought 2 (and on phone here)

Yammy tried to meet with the Kaw but WOW does it fall short in some areas
http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3.../CW2011030.jpg

Like a CASSETTE deck on a 2011 bike! REALLY!?!?!?!?!?!
http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3.../CW2011031.jpg

Another Yammy, and boy is it a dead ringer for another brand?!?
http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3.../CW2011032.jpg

But talk about a poor use of fairing space
http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3.../CW2011033.jpg

Madonna called, she wants her bra cups back.
http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3.../CW2011034.jpg

A real nice straight cruiser
http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3.../CW2011035.jpg

Some WOW factor wheels
http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3.../CW2011036.jpg

If you don't have your testicles or ovaries anymore substitute them with another wheel.
http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3.../CW2011095.jpg

If you still have those body parts, you'll do better on this, honestly.

They had some nice customs. Honda had this "factory" custom that was real real nice.

All touch screen, but is the speedo in there?
http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l3.../CW2011105.jpg

Then all these custom built bikes through out in a bike show contest. I didn't even take pics of all of them.

Progressive was HUGE there. BIL was looking for Flo, for maybe inpure reasons, but she wasn't around. It's ok, he found great cut rate insurance for his future bike purchase. LOL

They had lots of nice vendors there. WAY more than they had last time I went 5 years ago.

Found this nice vendor product - Stop & Go Tire plugs

I don't.

Thanks for posting them Gas, Just out of curiosity do youhave any more pictures of the Turbo'ed B King? I would like to get a sense of which setup they are using. (God I own a a B King and that thing is proof that nothing can make them look good)

Some of the custom bikes look like they should have pedals.
