1299 @ The Long Beach International Motorcycle Show

The 1299 at the show was the base model. The blurb/price sheet in front of the bike was for a 1299S.
 
Show sucked. I took a bunch of photos but I'm tempted to just delete them.

One thing I did notice is that some of the 600's (R6 and GSXR600) have gone down in MSRP price. The R6 is priced at $10,990 and Suzuki is $11,199. I don't remember any 600 being in the $10's in a few years. The new Repsol 1000 looked pretty cool with the MM93 scheme. They even slapped full front n rear Ohlins and Brembos on the bike. Even the GSXR750 and 1000 are now equipped with Brembos. I remember all them having Tokiko brakes on them. There was a handful of cool lookin bikes including Rossi's M1 but the rest were trash. Yamaha has even joined the game with their new R3 to compete with the cbr, ninja and ktm390. Man that ktm race version gave me a hard on. Beautiful and very light track bike. Probably will be $7-$8k range.

I'd love to see any pictures you may have taken of the RC390 Cup racebike.
 
Mike was the 1299s and Panigale R there also?

And thanks for the pics.

Mike

You're welcome. No S or R. The sign in front of the bike described an S but it was the base model on display.

I could only take 3. It was all the way against their display wall so I couldn't get a good shot of the exhaust side. Let me upload real quick.

I swear I thought I heard my phones screen crack when I started snappin these H2(R) photos. The sheer ugliness almost broke my camera phone. Then I had this red bike with one eyebrow up and lookin at me like, HUH?

That's about it folks. Nothing too exciting. No multiple Panigale colors, no MV Agusta. It was kind of a boring show. I asked for my money back as I walked out but it didn't work. Hmphh..
 
Thanks DoubleO sorry I couldn't make it down there with you guys. Did your son have a blast?

He did. Of course every "little" motorcycle we came across....."daddy, can you buy me that?"

"Buddy, your pocketbike looks much better. It's blue and white just like daddy's motorcycle. You don't need another when you've already got the best"

He stopped buggin me after that lol
