I liked the new tank but thought the metal flake paint was a bit much.

Thanks for the pics, CA. I think the spoked wheels on the '17 CB really look good.

Also went to the bike show. Here are a few pics.

Lots of new models.

Some old models (these two are owned by a friend of mine).

A model popular with those with gray or no hair.

Proving that my wife had too many beers at Hofbrauhaus prior to the show.

I would own one of these (but it's not a motorcycle).

Oh...and a free shoeshine to boot (so to speak).

ES, at first glance I thought "Lots of new models" meant the ones in the red dresses.

RE: Bike show - the Ferret - 02-11-2017

Those toaster 750 beemers are collectible.

Eddie has about 15 vintage or soon to be vintage bikes, including a CB400 which I have offered to "store" in my garage free of charge.

Did you notice if the clutch pull was obviously lighter with the new 'slipper clutch'?

No, I did not notice.
