RE: Bike Show
Agree, I have my doubts about a 2015 CB1100, even the Honda 2015 literature (sales brochures) only reference the 2014 Deluxe.

RE: Bike Show
Just got back to Wisconsin from Fl. and did get to the Bike show. Here are a few pictures.
Liked the Duc. Scrambler . ergo's were great. Looks FUN. But 10K.
Fell in love with the new 300 Yamaha and the new KTM390,fits me just right. The CB1100 was still # 008 like everywhere. Asked if anyone had seen the new KTM run and got a negative on that. Thought the custom SR400 US olive drab one was to much. Some others were great. - BMW ,Honda grom etc.

The boss thought the new Kaw. 650 cruiser did not meet her approval even with the pegs back as far as can be.

RE: Bike Show
What's with the can on the Duc Scrambler? Wouldn't that fill up with water if it were parked outside in the rain?

RE: Bike Show
You should see an FJ-09 with a set of color matched bags from a 1300 FJR on it. ( bags go right on). Looks great. However when I sat on one I had to climb on by stepping on the footpeg and my leg on the other side dangled a good 10" off the ground. No way could I ride one. Too bad nice looking bike.

Same here Mickey. I'm sure there will be after market lowering links soon to help those of us who are vertically challenged. I lowered my Tiger 1050 by 20mm, front and rear. That bike had the same seat height as the FJ09 and with the suspension mods, I was able to get the balls of my feet on the ground.

I don't even pretend that I could ride a KTM comfortably. I think they're designed by ex-NBA players.

RE: Bike Show
My nephew bought a 690 Duke and brought it over to show me. Offered me a ride. I declined. he insisted. So he held it up by the back of the bike, I climbed on put it in gear and let out the clutch and took off. Rode it around the neighborhood where I didn't have to stop, took it back and when I got to him I put on the brakes and he caught the bike and I climbed off. Crazy tall.

Reminded my of my sons first mini bike. he was 4 I think, turned 5 before spring hit. The Z 50 was too tall for him so we put a concrete block in the yard and he would climb on it, get on the bike and take off. he he stopped anywhere in the yard and jumped off the bike. He had to push it back to the concrete block to get back on. Lol

Exactly what I noticed and posted on a previous Scrambler thread ! I don't get it.
