I was also less than impressed. I wouldn't say it sucked, but there just wasn't enough content there. I will say though that I went there with nothing on my list to look at where as in years past I always had a 'shopping' list. A new bike, or helmet or gear or gizmo....something to give me purpose. I'm the same way. IMO, if someone is looking at buying a new motorcycle, its a great show to look at bikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkow97 Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 I got in for the price of parking, so I can't complain. I mainly sat on stuff I would actually look to buy (used) though. They didn't have a WR250x that I could find, so I sat on the dualsport model. I sat on a Grom. I sat on a KX100 and CRF125 to see what replaced the CRF100. what I found most informative was actually the Hyosung display. They pay contingency (for novice and expert) on their 250's and 650 twin. $375 for a win, $250 for second, and $150 for third. They seemed really high on promoting the bikes as capable machinery. That said, the model I was looking at was an air-cooled 250 single... Not going to win anything with that. They have a liquid-cooled, fuel-injected 250 twin set to come out in 2017. it has steel brake lines and inverted forks from the factory. THAT might actually be capable of winning some races.

ninjachk08 Posted February 28, 2016 Report Share Posted February 28, 2016 I agree with wolfeman. We were not that impressed. It felt smaller than last year, in Chicago, not that much merch to shop for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
