No kidding. I'd like to check it out, but how about Austin or San Antonio? I'm not going to Houston.

That would be so much fun...too bad they are not too close.

My husband and I did demo rides on Victory cruisers a few months back. I was surprised they let us take them out in the mountains.

What bikes do they have to demo? Is the Ninja 250 one of them? I'm signed up when they come to KC, just wondering what they have to demo.

Found the list.

Are you going to ride the Ninja 1000? I forgot to mention how easy the bike is to ride. There was not one section of straight road on Deer Creek Canyon, but the high, wide handlebars made the bike so much more easier to turn than the low clip-ons on the BMW S1000RR. I also forgot to mention how wonderful the brakes, clutch and throttle worked. Who cares how ugly the exhaust is.

It's not the exhaust that bugs me. It's the inverted turn signals, all the pointiness, and the bizarre shape of the tank and beak. I still plan to ride it when they get to Johnstown

Not the Connie, but I've ridden the -14R. ZOMG POWWAAHH! Picture Jeremy Clarkson saying that, and you've got it.
