Good Times Demo Tour (Plano, Texas)

[GoldOxide_imp]

Nice weather and pretty well organized. Had trouble getting the breathalyzer to read for me, but I guess that's just my Irish DNA putting up a resistance.



First demo: W800. Of course coming off the CB1100 I hit the 7000 rpm rev limiter. So light! And felt squishy.



My next demo in a couple of hours will be the 900RS ... which I lusted after while shopping for a motorcycle in 2018, but a used CB was half the price ... with cheaper insurance and cheaper gas grade.



So far my only incident was curbing the rim on my Camry in the small parking lot.



It's kind of like riding in a funeral parade (oh, I hope NOT! ), with a "cop" in front and in the rear.


Oh, and they also started dealing in Vespas (another memory). No demo rides though.

The W800 looks nice.

The W800 looks nice.
I remember wanting one of these back in the early 2000s but they were R-A-R-E in the USA, and fetched a premium used. The graphics on the tank are cheesy up close.

My favorite motorcycle commentator, Marlon, did a hilarious video overview. Check out his other videos as well.

That was hilarious. Thanks Bill.
