Nothing Special !!

I have been browsing the net the past 2 days, reading all posts and news coverage of EICMA, i was also following Facebook posts by a couple of friends who are attending the exhibition but unfortunately -apart from the EICMA girls – this year exhibition had nothing special.

It’s more of a scooter exhibition than a motorcycle exhibition, most of the bikes at EICMA were either a different color version of last year models or just face lifted 2010 motorcycles.

Most of the manufacturers had a couple of scooters on display, but the chatter was mostly on BMW scooters the C 600 Sport and the C 650 GT plus concept C and concept E. Aprilia also introduced 2 new scooters, the SRV 850 and the SR Motard which comes in either 2-stroke 50cc or a 4-stroke 125cc. but the most radical designs came from Vespa.

There must be good reason for BMW to go back to the scooter market, is it the gas prices, is it the bad city traffic, or its just a trend that’s becoming a cult ?

Note: the video above is from last year as i couldn’t find any good ones of this year.

The new MOTO GUZZI V7 CLUBMAN RACER…can you see the side mirrors, can you resist not loving this Guzzi?

Oh.. the technical data -its crap -, but who cares when you are riding a bike with such looks.

Ecima kicked off yesterday, and motorcycle manufacturers unveiled their latest creations…the ones that will hit the streets soon and the ones that will stay a concept like the above Concept 6 from BMW.

Last year BMW also introduced the Lo Rider concept, what ever happened to that?

BMW Lo Rider

This is getting interesting, BWM just showed off its new concept of a Low Rider cruiser… apparently the bike will be fully customizable just like a Harley Davidson but with BMW brakes and German performance.
