SO I know we have all talked about the new 1000 RR and I have held my thoughts untill I looked at the bike. I have to say I like the front of the bike the new tank is OK but that is where it ends. the back half of the bike is nasty and the pipes I do not know what Honda was thinking?

The rest of the show was cool some nice customes and a Vincent black shadow very nice.

 

I thought the new 1000RR looks a lot better in person than in the pictures. When I saw it in the pictures it didn't look good to me at all, but in person... it does look good. It would need an aftermarket exhaust to make it look even better though.

 

Damnit I wanted to go to the show so bad, rosemont is about 12 min from my house and my lazy *** never made it!

 

Still wish they would have followed the new 600RR's looks

 

You went and didnt take any pics? Man-O-Man...thats it...drop and give me twenty

 

ffingers to save the day...i took like 50 photos.....i am going to start a thread with a link to the gallery...but i have to agree...i HATE the 1000rr in person the front looks horrible IMO.....anyways...here's a couple pics and a link to the album..

Maybe its just me but did anyone see the new spyder or the ktm sportbike at all? i looked for them and didnt see them ANYWHERE....lots of nice bikes but imo nothing tops the new ducati 848....Love that bike!

 

i looked for the KTM bike but it wasn't there...i was really disappointed...i really wanted to see it and try it out...i took a pic of that one KTM...but everything was mostly their dirtbikes and a couple of nakeds....

 

I took some picks at the show, but I droped my phone and it broke so I lost my picks with the broken phone. I did like the KTM the booth was over by the stunt ball thing. They had the new sport bike their I sat on it I thought it was cool. The bike I fell in love with was the Agusta MV I will have a hard time spending 20K on a 07 or 25K on a 08. I had a pick of the limited for 120K the carbon fiber was hot.

 

thanks for sharing the pics ffingers !
