YYC Calgary Motorcycle Show

After few year not attending the Motorcycle show in Calgary today was the day to go and see whats in store. I was very disappointed with the limited vendors that were there. Adventure motorcycles were very limited and most anticipated brands such as KTM and BMW did not even have a booth. only positive was that Yamaha and Honda was there and Honda showcased their 2024 Africa Twin Models and Transalp.

The Edmonton motorcycle show was similar. Can't blame manufacturers for not wanting to invest in going. We went to Argyle motoraports after and that was great to see. They had more bikes than the show itself. Worth the trip from northern BC to see the guys anyway

I know but at least some luggage and other gear and accessories, completely nothing worth my time

I must have been at a different Calgary Motorcycle and Powersports Show than you since I thought it was a great event with so many awesome local businesses and organizations involved. If you want to see every new bike from every brand you should probably just book your flight to Milan now.

I've been at this show a few years back on more than one occasion and it was ok but sorry Not this time very poor, not ADV accessories No KTM No BMW no Suzuki at least there was a Honda and Yamaha and Husky

BarnesBlackfoot was not there ? The rv show couple of weeks ago was the same some shops just decided to organize some special events directly at the dealership. Probably also the www dont really help.

Very disappointing in my opinion money grab and nothing to benefit bikers that spend money on admission. No major motorcycle accessories as it used to be back in the day's. Definitely will not go again in the future unless they will improve this shit show lol

I heard it was a LET DOWN 😞 Plus the Price of $18 + $1.50 service fee on-line was Expensive. :-( This is 2 reason why I decided Not to go. However, MANY of My Friends went and I can name a few models that were there. 2024 Triumph Daytona 660, 2024 Honda Trasalp 750, 2024 Aprilia RS 457, 2024 Triumph Scrambler 400, newer Kove 450, 2024 Trumph's new MX Dirt Motorcycle (with Modes now)

Yes very disappointing for the city size of Calgary not too much to be proud off 😉

[@AngelFaceMotoRider]

Especially considering The HIGH Price and that fact that it's been 4-years since the last major indoor MotoShow. Did you meet any other MotoVloggers there.? I know of at least 10 that were there.

[@AdventureTravelandScuba]

No, I haven't met anybody that I would recognize. At least just my group of friends that we usually write together

If you want to meet other Canadian MVers this year, I can maybe introduce you since I know-of so many. I hope you met my real life Friend Tony-James of "Hill Quest Dual Sport" :-) He was working at the Show, but only on Saturday morning.
