Paint scheme on the HD was nice... but definitely HD colors.....  Did you happen to see (and maybe take some pics of) the new Honda models.... Sabre, Stateline and Interstate ?? Thoughts or impressions ?? Is it worth my going to the show in Ohio .... ????  |

Thoughts or impressions ?? Is it worth my going to the show in Ohio .... ???? well here is the Interstate..  1300fi The other models of new Honda's definitely have a different look to them...I believe they are trying to attract the more modern cyclist...I don't think they are being designed for any distance riding..they sit comfortable but your position is ...low seat,low handle bars with a longer stretch,forward controls so your legs are stretched also...any women under 5'5 will have a problem with the reach...they are all low, lean, with the definite chopper look to them... |

...I believe the show in Michigan was a downsized show....it was held on News Years day plus Jan.2nd -3rd....I don't believe there was as many vendors here because of this along with our dismal economy here in Michigan...we didn't even have many dealers here ...no Victory,BMW and the ones that did show didn't put much up for display's ...no Gerbings or Tourmaster limited riding boot vendors or helmets...very limited vendors, I wasn't happy...it definitely wasn't worth the money here ...but other places may have better local participation...

I was disappointed for my 12 bucks! It was half the show from last year. Honda- Hello something new besides a rebadged VTX line would be nice...... Fury looks good from far, but far from good. Kindalike the look of the Kawi Tourer...till I got close. Best bikes there were the Harleys, I hate to say. some nice new colors and styles. If I was in the market for a new bike,very limited choices.... unless money was no object.  I'll stick to the Valk for a bit.... like forever! B |

Those Honda's aren't re-badged VTX's ..... they are more like slightly modified Fury's I think... ??? I wasn't impressed with the show last year at Cleveland, and think it was less than the previous year as well. Beings I have to take a 2.5 hour trip there and then back (in snowy weather no doubt), pay Turnpike tolls in OH and PA, pay for parking and admission ..... hardly seems worth the effort of going unless there is a group.... and the guys are thinking it ain't gonna be much this year. And I think they are right.....  So if ya got more pictures, post em up so I can save myself the time and aggravation ..... |

Yea, that Voyager isn't bad lookin and it seemed comfortable enough. The dash on that really looks sharp too. I saw one in the local showroom. Not real sure about those bags and fairing ......the material is kinda flimsy. Otherwise looks nice tho....
Besides the vibration on that HD, I don't like the fairing...
what other pics ya got.....
