Aprilia had their 2 sportbikes there, the Tuono and Mille, as well as some of their scooters.


The Tuono was pretty nice, but that can has got to go. WAY too big, IMO.


The Mille was a pretty nice bike as well, and the finish on the cans couldn't be captured on film. It was really awesome, though. Kinda like brushed titanium, but with a bit of a pearl effect. You'll have to see it. Plus the dualy exhausts are pretty hot.


Scooter! 50cc two-stroke. It had an R in the name... Race prepped scooter? Sweet.

Triumph's display was sadly pathetic. They came with 5 bikes. Yes. Five. They didn't even bring along a new Daytona 675!!  :x  :x  :x        I was super sad about that. They had 2 Bonnevilles. A Rocket III, Speed Triple, and a Sprint ST. No Thruxton. No Daytona, big or small. No Speed Four. Nada. Blah. Pissed me off.


The Rocket III is a burly motherfucker. It was a huge freakin' bike. Absolutely monsterous. It's got an engine bigger than my car...


The new Speed Triple looks alright on the outside, but the cockpit is awful. The headlights don't turn with the forks because the headlights and guages are mounted to the steering stem, kinda like a fairing brace. The headlights stick out so far that you can see the backs of them when you're sitting on the bike. The instruments stick out on a little bracket of metal from the steering stem, and it just looks bad. I also didn't like how they chopped the tail to look like a Buell. I'd change the whole bike, with the exception of the engine, if I ever got one.

Some random stuff:


Ural had a display there. 30 year old new bikes. Russian tech. I wonder how well they actually work. Very retro/wartime chique, though.


Is this even a motorcycle?


It's got floor mats...


A camera to see what's behind you, with the screen on the inside...


And a windshield and windshield wiper. It's a freakin' car.

Moto Guzzi was there as well. I really like the look of the Breva, but from what I've read they aren't that reliable. Nice lookin' bikes though.


The Breva 1100. Pretty bike. I love the way the exhaust comes out the front and wraps around to the back; that looks awesome.


Nice dash layout as well, but I've never liked that style of bar. If you're going to bolt on bars to the triples, make them low bars.


They had the Breva 750, but I only got one picture of it, for some reason. And it was this one...  :dunno: The bars are better than the 1100s, but the guages aren't as nice. The red stitching in the seat is a nice added touch.

please post all fz1 pictures...and don't tell me you only too one!?!

We took 2. The first one I posted, and this one:



My dad is on the FZ1 board, and everyone else has already gone and taken pictures of it, so he didn't feel the urge to take any. I'll see if I can dig up a link to the FZ1 board's pictures for you.

God damn that naked bike looks hot as hell.
