Motorcycle Show #Toronto 2014

Exciting stunt riders and trial demonstrations in the Direct Energy Building brought the action to the crowds of two-wheel loving fans during the Feb 21-23 Toronto show. It was easy to forget about winter and think about the open road in summertime on some of the new bikes that were out on display. The demos got the adrenaline going and the hundreds of bikes on hand had everyone settling into the seats checking out the comfort, feel and reach of the awesome machines.

"This Show is Ontario’s biggest motorcycle manufacturers’ event of the year, and much like its four-wheeled automotive equivalent, this will be the first opportunity for bike fans to see the new 2014 motorcycle, ATV, side-by-side and scooter models that will be on sale at dealerships when the spring riding season rolls around. In addition to the 400+ bikes on display, there’s a wide-range of new and exciting features, plus the latest in apparel, accessories and touring destinations, all under one roof in a space equal to three-and-a-half football fields."

Major manufacturers of motorcycles brought out their line-ups and displayed Aprilia, Arctic Cat, BMW Motorrad, Can-Am BRP, Deeley Harley-Davidson, Ducati, Honda, Husqvarna, Indian, Kawasaki, KTM, Moto Guzzi, Norton, Piaggio, Polaris, Royal Enfield, Suzuki, Triumph, Vespa, Victory and Yamaha. Not to be forgotten, there was also scooters, ATVs and side-by-side models ready for a chance to climb aboard and see what they feel like between your legs.

Additional features included the Yamaha Riding Academy for Kids, Yamaha how to seminars, demonstrations by members of the OPP Golden Helmets, Friday Night is She Rides Nite, the Castrol Rocket World Speed Record Challenger and Race Cafe.
