I’m going to the one in Cleveland at the end of the month. which is nice, since I’m in the market for a new bike. but not so nice because, well, it’s fucking Cleveland.  

though I hope Honda is there; they were last year.

I spoke to a guy who said they were only going to be in cali texas and ny. I dont know how true that was maybe you can look into the lineup. What bike are you looking into?

as of right now they’re on the list for Cleveland. I mean, it’s their home state!

I was originally interested in the BWM G310R or KTM 390 Duke, but the more I thought about it I’ve already had my starter bike, so rather than getting another bike I’ll want to sell within a year, I’m thinking I’ll just go full size with something like the F800R:

Or Street Triple:

I sat on the bmw and for a 300 and the price it felt the best in that segment it felt like a proper bike. With the new street triple coming out you might get a good deal on a leftover model.

“proper bike?”

Yeah what i meant was that it felt really put together and really nice for a bike that cost 5k.I rode the duke 390 and it felt cheap and almost toy like. The bmw felt very well put together you will see when you throw a leg over it.

yeah, that’s what I’ve been reading. both are Indian-made but the G310R is supposedly in a plant dedicated to BMW, so they’re keeping quality high.
