My dad and I jumped in the truck and drove up to Dallas to check out the show. I failed to get any photos. There were too many people crawling all over the bikes to really do much photography. My skills are lacking anyway, so Google will be a better source of images.
Thanks to Jedd for the tip on the promo code.
They had a 2014 Standard on display. The big star of the Honda booth was the new Africa Twin. The tube tires and 21 inch front wheel are big turn-off for me as a mostly pavement rider. Another big problem I had was the grab handles for the rear cargo rack are huge and stick wayyyyy out. It caught my left knee and OUCH!
The VFR1200X is much more my speed with tubeless spoke wheels, shaft drive, and lots of wind protection. I'm gonna be test riding one ares soon as my new employer gets one that isn't sold.
Lots of wild custom Harley stuff, some vintage rides, and tons of vendors. The Victory Project 156 Pikes Peak bike was on display as we're the Victory Ignition and Combustion concepts.
I was also happy to throw a leg over the new Yamaha XSR900. The Kenny Roberts livery looks great. Sorry, too lazy to post stock photos for reference.
Good show and I can't wait to get my hands on more of these bikes in the coming months.
