At 9am the Press was taken on a tour to meet and get introduced to the new line of motorcycles that all the major dealership had at the show. While on this tour, I was accompanied by another dear friend, Marjorie Kleiman, aka Shadow, editor of Thunder Press Magazine and was also able to finally able to meet Lance Lau of Maverick Moto Media.
The tour for me started at Honda Powersports (I was late and missed the BMW intros, but stay tuned for those bikes). The first bike that caught my eye was the NC700x (of course). We had a month long special about this bike on MotoChatTV. My co-host J. Brandon was part of the Cycle World NC700x Challenge. (You can find out more about the challenge via our YouTube Channel.) It was awesome to finally see, feel, touch and sit on it. The NC700x is truly a great bike for the money. At under 7k, it's a steal and so are many of the other bikes Honda had to offer. The CBR collection of bikes have truly kept up to the Honda standard. Sharp looking, comfortable, and fast is still part of the package when it comes to these bikes. The CBR600RR features a new front suspension with 12-spoke aluminum wheels and to finish off with C-ABS. For you off-road enthusiasts the CRF250L is calling your name. Fuel injected single-cylinder engine, electric starter, comfortable sitting and very affordable at the pump. The CB1100 was one sharp bike. If you love cafe racer style riding or just cruisers, you'll love this bike. It has an 1140cc Transverse-Four engine, which is pact with power and gives you a nice smooth ride.
Something is wrong with your blog, when you click on some of the pictures, a text file wants to be saved on our computers. Try the NC700 picture.
ReplyDeleteWeird! I wonder why that happens. I don't know how to fix that. It took forever just get them all lined up like that. Blogger isn't really pic friendly. Or perhaps it's just this template. Any suggestions Mr. Ferreira? ;)
DeleteWho said that motorcycle shows are only for guys? Well, more and more women these days love and enjoy going to an event like this (myself included). :’) It’s really fun as this is a great time to see a lot of fabulous bikes all at once!

I know tons of women that ride Katelynn. It's wonderful to see women riders all over the place. I was on a trip 2 yrs ago and was in Ontario Canada at the time. I was living in Wisconsin. I met a lady at a HD dealership that was on her way to Nova Scotia from Wisconsin. She just learned how to ride and this was her first big trip, on a Ultra Classic nonetheless. She was 5'2"! Anyways, it's great to run into women solo or even in groups. I have tons of stories Let's chat sometime!
