That's stunning, but honestly it doesn't sound much different from when I spent a year in Omaha. Harley's everywhere, nary a BMW or Ducati or Triumph or KTM in sight. I had a Moto Guzzi there and must have been seen as a real oddball. Smattering of UJM's but it was definitely HD country. Considering the roads out there, it made sense. Aside from the occasional freeway off ramp, there were no curves to speak of.
Here, in Colorado, it's R1200GS, DL650, and KTM country. Seems everyone is an ADV wannabe. Lots of HD's too, and they're probably in the majority, but I also see lots of Ducati's, Triumphs, etc. When in Denver I'll usually see an RNineT and Duc Scrambler amidst the crowd of Honda Ruckuses, Aprilia Scarabeos and inexpensive Chinese scooters, and during the summer, the mountains are flooded with lolly-gagging HD's and Gold Wings with out-of-state plates. I've never seen a "new" Norton, Motus, or one of those Miami Beach-styled Huyabusas with an extended swing arm. Probably not so cool for the roads out here.
