It was here at Newport last weekend. 

Where were the demo bikes?

I've never seen them have a demo when they have an unveiling/first showing.

The real question is; Would you trade your Evo for one?

On looks alone, no way!  Power wise, thank goodness I can't ride it right now haha.  ;)

Cool Beans.  I would love the extra HP but I would not trade the extra weight for it.  Pretty sure one can get an Evo down to 360lbs. wet.

Especially if I bought BST wheels......   [drool] [drool] [drool]  Can't justify that spend this year though.

I'm aircooled Monster all the way for looks, but I just saw the new Monster for the first time at the Vancouver Bike Show a couple of hours ago, and it is much nicer looking in real life than it comes across in pics.  I can't wait to see one with Termis which will undoubtedly look a lot better because presumably they'll have a nice, tidy CF heat shield to replace that weird coily, plastic stock thing.  Let the mods begin.

There is NO justification for motorcycles. ;D

How was the turn out Arrick?

I was in Foster City on that day, but like many have hinted at, I was actually working and left before the unveiling at Munroe. I'll try to catch it in Atlanta.

Oh now I disagree. I get almost 50mpg at 75+ and can make it from Orange County to Downtown San Diego in 55 mins. Name another vehicle that can do that!
