The overpriced V-Max...but the Aprilia RS125 was a damn nice machine though, it's being sold in the US for track use only of course, even though the one on display had a taillight, it was the Euro version.

The 1190 RC-8 was an awesome machine in person, magazine photos did it no justice.

I have to agree with the RC-8 compliment. All you missed was me drooling over it and getting dragged away from the KTM area! The lines on those bikes are SO sexy! I'm glad KTM was there.

the Moriwaki MD250GP bike was TINY..

Insert 6'2 gorilla for comparison...


Aprilia RS125 2T


As stated, the KTM RC8 was hot..


The carbon fiber model was nicer still, very narrow machine.


Ducati

In regards to the Buell... Why did they put the saddlebags on the front of the bike facing backwards?

I was hoping Vince from Slap Chop was going to be there after seeing the sham-wow guys. I have wanted to pimp slap that jackass ever since seeing the commercial the first time. ..Opportunity lost I guess.

Show was definitely smaller this year, kind of a reflection on the economy.
