The 2014 Milan Bike Show

[teerex51]

This morning, a couple of riding buddies and I braved the crowds and visited the 2014 edition of the Milan Bike Show.

For the first time in several years, we went on a general-opening day as we couldn't break loose from work on the press days, when the show is less crowded.

In spite of the madding crowds, I managed to get some decent shots, some of them even containing assorted motorcycles. Enjoy!

Are those cases on the back of that Adventure a joke? lol! I'd be damned if I ever put something that looked like that on my bike.

The crazy thing is, they're aluminum cases—but made to look like wood (and they ain't cheap, either).

Takes all kinds, I guess..

@Wheatie. Hey guy, I'm glad you liked them...

Thank you for brightening a PNW day.

Is much as I love foreign exotica, I'm still not opposed to checking out some 'merican iron......

Thank you! Beautiful bikes (and chic too! )

Stef, thanks for taking us on a ride through the Milan Expo. I work with a Ducati enthusiast so we both enjoyed the photos. How come our models in the good 'ol US won't pose for photos like that??

Thanks a lot for these great shots. I see a new generation of adventure bikes coming out, there is one form Kawasaki I've never seen before, pic 24-25. Seems to be competing with Yamaha FJ09 and BMW 1000 XR?
