EICMA, Milan, Italy (Pic Heavy)
« on: November 09, 2014, 01:51:37 AM »
Visited the 100th EICMA show in Milan this weekend.

This is the crowd around the BMW venue, just an example of every hall, every vendor, everywhere. Wall to wall, a$$holes and elbows.

Now, I really thought I might like the new Scrambler. I really wanted to like it, then I saw the first commercial and thought, 'are they marketing this to hipsters?'

So I headed over to a pretty cool set-up, the Scrambler expo



Saw what I think is a pretty cool little runabout bike.



Then I saw this......

Strange that the 2015 C14 is being displayed with an aftermarket muffler installed.    ???

Thanks for the pics!

Thanks for sharing your day. :thumbs:

I'm not impressed with the upgrades minor changes made to the '15 C14...

I guess after six years and 60,000mi. it's time for a change.
The '15 FJR is now number one on the list for a new bike this spring.

I'm guessing that head of sales for Kawi in Europe made a wise command decision not to show it with the potato launcher  ;)

Nice pics. 

I am liking the green pin striping on the Connie.  Might could attempt that on my bike. 

I like the "off road" version of the scrambler.  If I can get a test ride this spring I will go with cash in hand.

Wonder how they got the windscreen to stay in the up position with the bike off?
