Title: NYC Motorcycle Show (pic link)
Post by: juggernaught on January 23, 2005, 08:46:18 AM
I went there on friday after work...before the blizzard ( :mrgreen: ) Wasn't too crowded yet.  On weekends you can barely walk through the place.

Anyhow...the "F" looks pretty good in black.  I didn't take pics of the custom bikes as they are all cruisers and i see way too much of them nowadays on all these cable shows.  So here ladies and gents...are my pics....

I went on Saturday at the start of the blizzard.  Went by rail all the way except for the walk from 33rd and B'way.  Got there around 5 pm.  Went to the window to pay with no one ahead of me nor behind me.  It was strange.  The place was about 1/3 rd full if not less.  Agree that the bike looks good in black.  Sat on lots of bikes like never before.  It's pleasure when you don't have to bump into people.  The vendors in their booths did not look very happy.  Very few customers.
Decided that the BMW RT1150 will be the last bike that I will buy.  Gonna be buried sitting on that sucker.  The riding position is sweet.  Fits me like a glove.  Same as my DL650.  The lower part of the fairing blocks the wind from hitting your legs.  I sat on a Harley Sportster and can't imagine anyone going on that thing more than 20 miles.  The seat is that bad.

I was also there on Friday..cut out of work early and got there around 2:45.  Lots of great bikes as always.  Liked the Buell XB9SX City and the Victory Hammer in sunburst was really nice.  I think the bike that fit me best was the new Kawasaki Z750S.  Really nice looking, riding position similar to the GS and fuel injected.  Anyone heard much about them?
