NYC Motorcycle show 2014
« on: December 17, 2014, 09:50:13 PM »
Here is a report from the NYC motorcycle show. 

Only Harley-Davidson brought their electric bike.

I spoke with representatives from KTM & Yamaha to encourage them to bring their concept bikes to the shows.

Enjoy!

Well it is too bad that only H-D showed up at the show, considering what a big market the NYC show represents.   ???

That's pretty strange... what the hell's the point of a car or motorcycle show if not to show off concepts and gauge interest? I'm REALLY surprised Zero wasn't there. They can't ship the SR-onna-crate from FL to NY, with a couple salespeople?

OTOH, being in Orlando, I'm glad to see AIMExpo prodded some buttock. :)
