What's New

[DMAGOLDRDR]

I was at the show today and was disappointed as well, but I have been for years. The show gets smaller every year with less to look at.

No Moto Guzzi booth at all ( I really wanted to see the Flying Fortress up close) and as Bob said no BMW new bagger at BMW. Also only one Wing and one F6B in all of Hondas booth. Although HD, Indian and Victory had plenty to look at and sit of if you so desired. Even Kawasaki had a couple Vaquero's to climb on.
Oh well I guess I will have to check the local dealers.

But for me the show is just a reason to go to the City and walk around during the Holidays. Times Square and Rockefeller Center this time of year is favorite of mine.

Perhaps they are monitoring the site. I know that the lack of cruise control on the 2013 and 2014 models were a huge issue on this forum, and they put it on the 2015-current models saying that they were responding to consumer demand for it.

If the 2017 model had ABS, I would have to do some serious drinking. I mean, thinking.

Found myself stranded in New York for 3 days on a business trip (in a previous life)... had time to kill, and I had no idea that I was only a block from Rockefeller Plaza. Couldn't figure out what all the hubbub was about (streets getting blocked off, etc.), and showed up at the lighting of the Christmas Tree by accident.

Walked the streets of New York for the next two days, and even took in the "New York City Rockettes Christmas Spectuacular"... now that was... well... spectacular.

[Now back to the previously running thread.]

Bob Penn, remember that Director of Marketing is AKA Grand PooBa of Sales...meaning that you were talking to somebody who is fundamentally a salesman. I think Phantom's assessment is correct.

I do appreciate your report btw.

I saw that as well; several years ago at the Radio City Music hall. It was spectacular. I was dragged to it by my wife, fighting every inch. But in the end, I'm glad I saw it.

I hate NYC... feel like a trapped rat while I'm there.

Honda has finally decided to produce each motorcycle to the specifications of the buyer. The waiting period for delivery is just 5 years per purchase. They are retooling for the first order. Joe Bettercycles, head of Public Relations said there will be a slight price increase.
