Default new bikes

coming next month the busa2. reworked engine with more bwhp and greater acceleration than the original busa which already dominates at the drags and is a best seller. awesome. the bking is a limited production naked busa. id love to ride once at least once, ive never ridden a bike that powerful before. triumph is introducing the new street triple which is like a cross between the daytona and street triple. interesting naked bike. the new bike i really like is the the buell 1125R, the first real sportbike buell has made. looks like a great year this year

Don't forget the new Aprilia Shiver and the new to the U.S. (may be Canada too) Kawasaki Versys.

Sound like some interesting bikes.

I'm not much for the naked bikes myself... label me a fairing guy.

versy has been available in canada for a while now. so has the middleweight bandit. for some reason we tend to get new bikes before america does. aprilla shiver looks cool to. aprilla is my favorite exotic. if money were no object id be riding the RSV1000R, the full factory version.

I kind of figured Canada had the Versys already. Since that basically Euromerica.

My friend who was going to order the Victory has put his plans on hold until he sees the new Yamaha Raider. He's....intrigued!

The new busa is a very nice looking bike. The back end of that bike looks much better now then it has.

One bike I'm super exited about is the new redesigned Kawasaki ninja 250

It actually looks good now. I want one all over again. all I can say is it's about time.

Amen, the new Ninja 250 does look sexy.

Too bad it's only a 250
