It would have been in the Custom Bikes part of the show.

There are a few dealers taking money on them right now in CA & FL, most likely in the spring.

2016. $9500, but it does have 7000 miles on it. Good value?

I was told at the show that it would be in the US June.
I also rode the Yamaha Niken that was interesting.



Impressive turn out for the show, I've been going for 20 years and this was the biggest turn out I've seen!

I saw Tods GTM bike at the show. Looked a bit massive and kind of a single use type of machine.
