Hoping to see the V force in person this weekend. The International Motorcycle Show opens in Dallas tomorrow and they will have all the good stuff on display. At last year's show, I saw the Z400 and Honda Rincon long before they were in dealer showrooms. Maybe I can get some specs and pictures.

 

Lucky you, I have to wait until the end of January for the show to get in my area (Cleveland, OH).

 

I hope it's there, since I'm going to the show in Seattle in Mid-December. If it's not there, I'll spend more time looking at the trophy girls and drinking flat beer from the venders!!! Gotta love bikes, beer, and babes!!!

 

What is the international motorcycle show

We went to the show this weekend and Kawasaki had not brought the new V-force. In fact, the only ATVs Kawasaki had on display were the Prairie 650 and KFX 400. I was wanting to see their mini quads, but they were not there.

The only thing new was the Polaris Predator and the new Honda Rancher with the built in GPS, which was flown in from Japan just for the show. The Honda had some cool looking plastic, much like the new Rincon. There was also a Gas Gas 450 that looked to be race-ready.

The Predator was disappointing. I had seen the Predator previously this summer on their promotional/testing tour. The pre-production unit seemed to have better fit and finish than the production model. They have changed the plastic and seat some from what I saw earlier.
