Cycle World show pics

[reg71]

I'll post pics from the show that I got here and then if anyone else has some, we can collect them for those who can't go...

Here's a pic of the new GS from BMW


Here's one of the red bull racebike. (note I used my cell phone for these so they are kind of blurry at times)



Here's a couple of the Duc 848. I have to tell you, I think they will make a killing on this bike. It has the looks of the 1098 and will prob be a few $$ cheaper. It's even tempting to me. This thing would be a sweet track bike.





Does anyone ever think that ducati is listening to VFRworld instead of Honda? These last couple years, I have wondered...

Here's some custom that I snapped a pic of. There were a few there but not as many as you might think...



Here a couple old Norton's...



Another Norton...



Some more classics...



Here's one of the old land speed record holders... I believe he had this thing over 100 mph way back when...


Here's that really expensive Harley that has the record (I think)



More to come...

Here's a custom from Jesse Rooke that looks pretty neat...



Here's an action shot from the BOSS show that the cell did a pretty decent job with. (I had to use some creative timing to get the shot)



Here's a sweet 98 VFR that was at the show. The owner is a really cool guy and let me ride it home...

Thanks for the pics. Your cell phone takes A LOT better pics than mine does.

That's what I was sayin in the other post about being disappointed. There were a few there, but my wife might have been a little suspicious if I started snapping pics of chics while she was standing next to me. ;)

Great pics Reg, and good call on the pics of women with the wife nearby!!! They get a little funny about that stuff. You are right on about Ducati. They seem to be building some great and "affordable" bikes lately. That 848 is going to put a lot of people in the market for a supersport or GSXR 750 over the edge.... If that bike is $12-13000 its going to really change the market. I was looking at a new CBR 600 today, it was the graffiti paint scheme and just under $10000!!!

Dude, where's the 08 1000RR pic or was it that bad? BTW thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing the photos, the show doesn't get to Cleveland till the end of January!

There is a certain grace to those old Norton Commandos isn't there...

I looked at it for all of about 2 seconds. I can't explain it, but it didn't grab my attention at all. I moved right past it. In fact, nothing in the honda area caught my attention. It was just boring. The BMW area and Ducati areas were crawling with people.

Here's a couple more pics that Terri got on her cell...



And finally me on the harley street bob (i think that's what they called it). It was released last year I think. It's a dyna but done up to look more like a bobber. I really like it. the matte finish is attractive IMO. I might actually buy one of these. Probably not, but I might. It's still over $15k and that's a lot for me.

Thanks for the pics Reg, the first thing I notice on the 848 is the wet clutch, it should be more durable for street use, those Ducati are sure getting tempting these days




P.S. Your looking right at home on the Harley with the beard
