Cycle World International Motorcycle Show

2008 Cycle World IMS in San Mateo, California

We were on the lookout for evidence of the recent economic downturn; Harley-Davidson was the only major vendor without a floor display (we found out later that H-D missed the show due to a scheduling conflict). BMW had a much smaller display this year. Despite H-D's absence, visitors were able to take unguided test rides on the new Harley-Davidson XR1200.

The 2007 International Motorcycle Show in San Mateo featured the expected assortment of motorcycle manufacturers, accessory vendors, and crowds. Manufacturers large and small were in attendance, presenting their latest offerings to an eager crowd.

The weather was superb compared to past years' events; event organizers claim over 41,000 in attendance - the motorcycle parking lots were full all weekend.

These events are offer a good opportunity to try out bikes and accessories from many manufacturers in one place - motorcycles, helmets, jackets, gloves, you name it. Some manufacturers had other product lines on display: personal watercraft, generators, and the like. Whatever your interest in motorcycling, it's a great opportunity to immerse yourself in motorcycle and motorsports technology.
