2007 Vancouver Motorcycle Show

Well, another year and another motorcycle show. This year we went on Friday evening and it was the right choice. The crowds were much less and we saw everything we wanted to see in only 2.5 hours without rushing around. My buddy Rob and I left work in Burnaby at 5:30 and arrived at the Trade Ex at Abottsford Airport around 6:30 PM. (Hurray for carpool lanes!)
Over the next days and weeks I'll post pictures of bikes that interested me. This is not a soup-to-nuts coverage of the show by any means. These bikes were appealing to me enough for me to release the shutter.
This is the new 2007 BMW F800ST. It's an 800-cc twin-cyclinder sport-touring machine. Makes something like 80 hp. I categorize it as a mid-sized bike as it fit me fine at 6'2" and my wife also liked it and she's 5'4". (We tried it on at John Valk BMW Ducati in Vancouver several weeks before the show.) I am leaning 49%/51% towards the F800S as my favourite of the two. I'll post about that tomorrow.
