THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS ON OFFER AT 2020 VANCOUVER MOTORCYCLE SHOW

Vancouver, B.C. (January 14, 2020) – The Vancouver Motorcycle Show is returning to once again showcase the best new motorcycles, scooters, ATVs and side-by-sides of the year. The 2020 lineup, featuring some of the industry’s best and most exciting products, will be on display January 24^th-26^th at Tradex in Abbotsford.

“This year’s models are just as exciting and diverse as the riders who circle the Vancouver Motorcycle Show on their calendar every year,” says Show Manager Laurie Paetz. “Whether it’s style preference, brand loyalty, or a search for the latest and greatest model, motorcycle fans’ ride of choice reflects what drives them.”

The wide variety of bikes is sure to please any and all enthusiasts. Here are some highlights of the most anticipated new releases in 2020.

Electric Bikes
Motorcyclists from beginners to experts will get a charge out of the electric bikes on display at the Vancouver Motorcycle Show. Electric bikes come in a range of styles and sizes, from smaller, off-road rides for youngsters to super bikes manufactured by the most reputable companies in the industry. Fans will be able to check out the incredible Harley-Davidson Livewire™, the award winning Canadian made Damon Hypersport, the Vespa Elettrica scooter and the kid-sized KTM SX-E motocross bike for themselves and catch a glimpse of what the future holds.

Sport Bikes
If adrenaline is your friend and you have a need for speed you will want a super sport bike in your garage.  They are light weight, nimble, and optimized for acceleration, speed, and cornering on pavement.  These bikes are at home on the street or can be taken to the track for the ultimate rush. The 2021 Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP, the supercharged Kawasaki Ninja 1000 SX, and Yamaha YZF-R1M are some the supersport bikes on the show floor.  For those that seek exhilaration and a thrilling ride of a supersport bike but want a little more upright ergos you will want to check out the naked sport bikes or “streetfighters”. They offer many of the same qualities of a supersport bike but tamed a little for the street.  Imagine owning Italy’s Ducati Streetfighter V4, England’s Triumph Street Triple RS, Austria’s KTM Super Duke R, Germany’s BMW F900 R, America’s Indian FTR1200 or Japan’s Suzuki Katana 1000 as you tour the world of the Vancouver Motorcycle Show.

If you are just starting your motorcycle experience the show has something for you too. You can check out smaller, easier to handle bikes like the Yamaha MT-03, BMW G310R, KTM 390 Duke, Suzuki TU250X or the Honda CB500F.

Dual Sport & Adventure Bikes
Whether you travel on the highways, venture off road or just need to get around town dual sport bikes are the true all-purpose machine.  If you have always dreamed of riding to Alaska or Tuktoyaktuk this is the type of bike you want. They have an upright riding position and comfortable ergos plus their long travel suspension provides a super smooth ride on super slab, back roads or off road. For those that are in the market for something that fits their adventurous lifestyle the new Suzuki V-Strom 1050, Honda Africa Twin 1100, Triumph Tiger 900, BMW F 900 XR and Yamaha Ténéré 700 will provide ample opportunities to explore. If you are looking for something a little smaller and easy to handle, check out the new KTM 390 Adventure or the Kawasaki KLX230 & KLX230 ABS.

Three Wheelers
The Can-Am Spyder RT’s modern design and premium comfort are indicative of why Three Wheelers are quickly gaining in popularity. They offer all the excitement and enjoyment of a standard two-wheel motorcycle with added comfort and accessibility. Three Wheelers have proven to be especially popular with baby boomers thanks to riding stability and storage capacity. The Can-Am Spyder RT should be near the top of the list for anyone looking for three-wheel enjoyment.

Cruisers
Fans of the iconic 60’s film Easy Rider need no explanation of why Cruiser Bikes are among the most revered and sought after on the market. Their lower seat height, higher handlebars and a more laid back riding position lend themselves to long easy rides on the open road in both style and comfort. These bikes are a true reflection of those who ride them and there is an excellent selection at the show to choose from including the Honda Rebel 500, the Indian Scout, the Harley-Davidson Low Rider™ & the 2500cc Triumph Rocket 3.

Scooters
City slickers across Canada are already familiar with the enjoyment, stylishness and eco-friendly nature of scooters that make them a popular choice for riding in an urban environment.  The 2020 Piaggio BV 350 Touring and the Vespa Primavera Sean Wotherspoon highlight why these easy-to-drive, easy-to-park, easy-to-love and economical vehicles are the ride of choice for many.

Touring Bikes/Baggers
Live in the lap of luxury while taking a road trip on a Touring Bike/Bagger. The generous cargo space allows riders to pack up all the necessities for a long-distance trip. They are ergonomically designed and offer cruise control, stereo sound, heated grips and seats plus communication & navigation systems, for maximum comfort while you are touring the countryside.  Check out all the touring bikes including the Indian Challenger and the Harley-Davidson Road Glide® Limited. You can even try the Honda Goldwing DCT simulator.

Of course, the lineup of amazing new 2020 models is just a slice of the attractions show-goers can expect at the Vancouver Motorcycle Show. A Kawasaki Z400 giveaway, Ladies Night, the incredible VanCity Stunters and Seattle Cossacks Motorcycle Stunt & Drill Team and so much more promise to make this year’s show the best yet.

GET YOUR HANDS ON YOUR NEW RIDE

CALGARY, AB (January 2, 2020) – The Motorcycle Show – Calgary presented by NFP is fast approaching.  It will showcase the new line-up of 2020 models of motorcycles, scooters, ATVs and side-by-sides.  The Show runs January 10-12^th at the BMO Centre.

“Motorcycle enthusiasts are an extremely diverse group of individuals,” says Laurie Paetz, Show Manager, “they vary a great deal in age, riding style, why they ride, manufacturer preference, and what they choose to ride is often more of a reflection of their personality and lifestyle than anything else.”

With so many bikes to choose from, the following highlights some of the most anticipated new releases in 2020.

Three Wheelers

Three wheelers are the industry’s response to the shifting tastes of riders.  They are extremely popular among the baby boomers due to the fact that they are super steady and provide more storage.  They offer the exhilaration of a standard motorcycle without the physical strain that can come with riding two wheels.  The Can-Am Spyder RT, the Harley-Davidson® Tri Glide Ultra and the Piaggio MP3 are excellent options for those considering something on three wheels.

Dual Sport & Adventure Bikes

Whether you travel on the highways, venture off road or just need to get around town dual sport bikes are the true all-purpose machine.  If you have always dreamed of riding to Alaska or Tuktoyaktuk this is the type of bike you want. They have an upright riding position and comfortable ergos plus their long travel suspension provides a super smooth ride on super slab, back roads or off road. For those that are in the market for something that fits their adventurous lifestyle the new 2020 Suzuki V-Strom 1050, Honda Africa Twin 1100, Triumph Tiger 900, BMW F 900 XR and Yamaha Ténéré 700 will provide ample opportunities to explore. If you are looking for something a little smaller to handle, check out the new KTM 390 Adventure, Moto Guzzi V85TT Travel, or the Kawasaki KLX230 & KLX230 ABS.

Electric Bikes

Although still in the infancy stages, the electric bike category is extremely broad.  Ranging from pint sized off-road motorcycles for children to high end super bikes, and everything in between.  Electric bikes are gaining popularity and will continue to grow in the years to come. The Harley-Davidson LiveWire™ and the KTM SX-E 5 are two of the electric bikes that will be displayed at the Show.

Cruisers

There is a definite nostalgic feeling when it comes to cruisers.  Their lower seat height, higher handlebars and a more laid back riding position lend themselves to long rides on the open road in both style and comfort. These bikes are a true reflection of those who ride them and there is an excellent selection at the show to choose from including the Honda Rebel 500, the Indian Scout, the Harley-Davidson Low Rider™ & the 2500cc Triumph Rocket 3.

Sport Bikes

If adrenaline is your friend and you have a need for speed you will want a super sport bike in your garage.  They are light weight, nimble, and optimized for acceleration, speed, and cornering on pavement.  These bikes are at home on the street or can be taken to the track for the ultimate rush. The 2021 Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP, the supercharged Kawasaki Ninja 1000 SX, and Yamaha YZF-R1M are some the sport bikes on the show floor.

For those that seek exhilaration and a thrilling ride of a super sport bike but want a little more upright ergos you will want to check out the naked sport bikes or “streetfighters”. They offer many of the same qualities of a super sport bike but tamed a little for the street.  You can choose from Italy’s Ducati Streetfighter V4, England’s Triumph Street Triple RS, Austria’s KTM Super Duke R, Germany’s BMW F900 R, America’s Indian FTR1200 or Japan’s Suzuki Katana 1000 as you tour the world of the Motorcycle Show – Calgary.

If you are just starting your motorcycle life you can also check out smaller versions from around the world including the Yamaha MT-03, BMW G310R, KTM 390 Duke, Suzuki TU250X or the Honda CB500F.

Scooters

Scooters are fun, flirty, super stylish, and an efficient motorized mode of transportation offering up to 100 mpg.  Their quiet operation and eco friendliness make them a joy to ride in an urban environment. They are light weight, maneuver easily, have automatic CVT transmission and are a breeze to park. They are a direct reflection of their rider’s sense of style.  New in 2020 are the Piaggio BV 350 Touring and the Vespa Primavera Sean Wotherspoon.

Touring Bikes/Baggers

Considered the equivalent of a luxury car of on two wheels, touring bikes/baggers feature all the practical elements needed for life on the road.  The ability to carry gear and cargo is essential on long distance trips and these bikes can accommodate that. They are ergonomically designed and offer cruise control, stereo sound, heated grips and seats plus communication and navigation systems, for maximum comfort while touring the country.  Check out all the touring bikes including the Indian Challenger, the Harley-Davidson Road Glide® Limited and the Honda Goldwing DCT.

The Motorcycle Show – Calgary offers so much more than the new models.  There is a huge variety of aftermarket parts and accessories, as well as safety and riding gear. Be sure to take in some of or all the other features including; Ladies Night on Friday, January 10^th after 5:00 pm, the Canadian Vintage Motorcycle exhibit, Yamaha Riding Academy (ages 6-12 years), Strider Adventure Zone (ages 18 months to 5 years), the Handle Bar by Ill Fated Customs, and the Ground n’ Gravity Show.  Don’t miss your chance to enter to win between noon and 4:00 on Saturday, January 11^th for a chance to win a Kawasaki Z400 valued at over $5500.00.  Five qualifiers will be drawn, one of which will be the lucky winner, but you must be present to win.

Get your motor runnin’ – The Vancouver Motorcycle Show is back

Get your motor runnin’ – The Vancouver Motorcycle Show is back
The Seattle Cossacks, VanCity Stunters, electric Harleys and much more will be on display at Tradex January 24-26

For Immediate Release
December 17, 2019

Greater Vancouver, BC – The Vancouver Motorcycle Show is bringing the best and newest motorcycles, scooters, ATV’s and side-by-sides to Tradex in Abbotsford January 24-26. Powersports fans from across BC and the Pacific Northwest have long considered the Vancouver Motorcycle Show to be a can’t-miss event thanks to its reputation of showcasing the industry’s best vehicles, accessories, technology and expertise.

This team of riders have brought their spectacular shows to crowds all over the world since 1938 and have been featured on popular network shows like America’s Got Talent, Ripley’s Believe it or Not and Real People. Now into their eighth decade of performances, these feature riders are sure to be a highlight of the Vancouver Motorcycle Show.

Vancouver Motorcycle Show attendees will have the opportunity to see a very special customized 2014 military-themed Harley Davidson™ Street Bob® motorcycle, presented by Konquer® Motorcycles, on display at the Parts Canada Drag Specialities booth for the first time this year. This work of art has been produced in collaboration with the Princess Patricia Canadian Light Infantry Foundation (PPCLI) and the Heroes Hockey Challenge (HHC). The bike will be auctioned off via live stream at the HHC Gala at the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto in March, with proceeds going to support the PPCLI Foundation and HHC initiatives to support the men and women of the Canadian Armed Forces and their families.

NEW to the show this year is the Vintage & Café Racer Show N’ Shine sponsored by Class6Cycles and the West Coast Classics and Café Racers riding club.

It’s no surprise to regular show-goers that the Vancouver Motorcycle Show features some of the latest cutting-edge technology in racing and safety – and this year is no exception. On display this year is Honda’s Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) demo featuring the latest technology of Honda’s Goldwing with cruise control. Honda’s DCT technology lets riders focus on the thrills of accelerating, turning and breaking rather than gear shifting, meaning you’re one less worry away from enjoying the ride.

Speaking of technology, Harley Davidson’s fully electric 2020 Livewire™ bikes will be on display to let attendees and riding fans catch a glimpse of the future of powersports. Not only will individuals have a chance to marvel at these beautiful works of art, two bikes will be on display for fans to hop on and feel the impressive performance and acceleration offered by the Livewire bikes.

Riders attending the Show will be sure to check out professional riding instructor Clinton Smout lend his expertise and offer demonstrations ranging from obstacle avoidance to clutch control and slow speed maneuvers. Seasoned, novice and intermediate level riders can learn something new to help maximize their 2020 riding season.

Ladies looking to get their fill of motorcycle excitement can look forward to SHE Ride Night on Friday evening. Women can score half-price admission after 5:00pm and enter to win the She Rides Night grand prize. The lucky winner will earn a $2,000 voucher to spend at any and all of the exciting exhibitor booths at the Show.

TORONTO MOTORCYCLE SHOW – DECEMBER NOTEBOOK

TORONTO (December 17, 2019) – The Toronto Motorcycle Show presented by NFP opens at the Enercare Centre, Exhibition Place in less than 10 weeks. Here are a few show news updates before we break for the holidays.

KAWASAKI Z400 ABS UP FOR GRABS
Canadian Kawasaki is back at the Toronto Show with a chance for enthusiasts to win a new motorcycle.

One lucky person will win an all-new Kawasaki Z400 ABS in the Kawasaki “Own The Street” Giveaway. The Z400 delivers ultralight handling with strong low-end power ideal for rider-friendly, nimble street riding. Whether confidently navigating the city streets or parked strikingly on a street corner, this bike is sure to turn heads.

This motorcycle draw is open to all show attendees (over the age of 18) by visiting Kawasaki’s booth from 12 pm to 4 pm on Saturday February 22nd, 2020 and completing an electronic ballot.  The draw will take place live at the show that day at 4:15 pm.

LATIMER TO STRUT HIS STUNT TALENTS AT SHOW
Canadian stunt riding star Craig Latimer – master of Wheelies, Stoppies, Head Stands and Burnouts – has been confirmed for this year’s show, marking the fourth appearance for the Alberta-based performer at the Enercare Centre. He’ll be joined by Toronto’s Cesare Costantini for their street bike freestyle stunt-riding shows all three days of the event.

CLUTCH SOCIETY REVVING UP THE TORONTO MOTO SCENE
Last month we announced Clutch Society – an all-new “show-within-the-show” that will celebrate the best of custom motorcycle culture and will be the gathering place at the show where riders can refuel with friends while checking out amazing custom bikes, indie brands and artists.

The Moto Foto’s Dan Lim is producing this major feature in collaboration with the show, and he reports that response from the community has been strong and encouraging. “Since announcing Clutch Society, I’ve been blown away by the excited anticipation about the show from the GTA moto scene,” Lim said.

“Some of the GTA’s most respected custom bike builders and lifestyle brands have now confirmed their participation in Clutch Society.  There will be more than 20 one-of-a-kind bikes on display for visitors to soak up and enjoy, as well as a great mix of community events that showcase some of the very best of what the custom motorcycle scene can offer.  I’m so stoked and can’t wait to share the passion with you all.  Stay tuned for more details in the new year.”

THE QUEBEC CITY AND MONTREAL MOTORCYCLE SHOWS RETURN IN 2020

TWO OPPORTUNITIES TO “GET HANDS ON “!

Quebec City, Monday, December 9, 2019 – Quebec’s two largest events for motorsport enthusiasts, the Quebec City and Montreal Motorcycle Shows, presented by La Capitale General Insurance, will come roaring back to the Centre de foires in Quebec City from Friday, February 7 to Sunday, February 9, 2020 and the Palais des congrès de Montréal from Friday, February 28 to Sunday, March 1, 2020. For new and seasoned riders, the shows are a perfect opportunity to get hands on and discover the latest in new models, accessories and equipment.

Produced by Power Sport Services, the Motorcycle Shows offer the widest range of exhibitors in the industry. Visitors will be able to check out the latest bikes from the world’s top manufacturers, meet accessory distributors and shop for their next ride from the different dealers on site.  In addition to all the motorcycles, ATVs, scooters and three-wheelers, the events also offer a wide range of equipment, motorcycle clubs and federations, as well as activities and workshops. Hangar 17, in collaboration with Oneland, will be back at the Montreal Show and, for the first time, in its full version in Quebec City! This 5,000 sq. ft. space offers exclusive access to the heart of Quebec’s custom motorcycle scene, bringing together various builders and independent brands that celebrate the culture and lifestyle of riding.

SHE RIDES will roll out on Friday evening at both Shows. With more and more women learning to ride, this special event is a great opportunity to take the first step or the next step into the awesome world of riding.  On the program for that night: half-price admission for women after 5 p.m. and a women’s only draw for an exciting prize.

A family-favourite, the Yamaha Riding Academy, will be back at both shows, giving kids aged 6 to 12 the opportunity to learn how to ride in a safe environment, under the supervision of trained and certified instructors. Participation is limited to eight riders at a time, and each session lasts 15 minutes. The Yamaha Riding Academy is a great way to get kids started in an exciting sport and help them develop a real passion for riding.

“A visit to the Motorcycle Shows is the best way to forget about Quebec’s harsh winter and to start dreaming and planning next summer’s adventures!  Riders of all ages, styles and levels are invited to attend the Motorcycle Shows to discover new bikes, travel ideas, the latest equipment and a host of tips and advice from experts and others who are passionate about the lifestyle.  The two shows also offer visitors a chance to win big. There will be a draw for Kawasaki Z400 motorcycle at each of the shows,” says Bianca Kennedy, Manager of the Quebec City and Montreal Motorcycle Shows.

TORONTO MOTORCYCLE SHOW ‘CLUTCH SOCIETY’ TO CELEBRATE CUSTOM MOTO CULTURE

NEW ‘CLUTCH SOCIETY’ WILL CELEBRATE THE CUSTOM MOTO

CULTURE AT 2020 TORONTO MOTORCYCLE SHOW

Show Partners with Moto Community Leader Dan Lim of The Moto Foto

TORONTO (November 27, 2019) – The Toronto Motorcycle Show presented by NFP, today announced a new major feature called Clutch Society, that will celebrate the best of the indie custom motorcycle culture when the show rides into the Enercare Centre, Exhibition Place, February 21-23.

Inspired by the distinct gritty, rugged and raw feel of the home garage, Clutch Society will be THE gathering place at the show, where riders of all levels, riding styles and backgrounds can refuel with friends, while checking out amazing custom bikes and connecting with builders, indie brands and artists. In true custom-style, it will reflect the “built by hand and bought with pride” philosophy, with an authentic and grassroots approach that enthusiasts can experience together, while they hang out, order a drink, talk bikes and get revved up for the next riding season.

The GTA is one of the main hubs for this new wave of riders in Canada, and the Toronto Motorcycle Show has partnered with one of the community’s leaders to bring Clutch Society to life – Dan Lim of The Moto Foto.
A professional fashion and lifestyle photographer, and avid member of the Toronto moto scene, Lim will bring his spirit and passion for the culture and community to this new show-within-a-show concept.

“Clutch Society will be a motorcycle culture gathering place. We want to introduce and share our vibrant, inclusive, and friendly moto community with other GTA and Southern Ontario motorcycle enthusiasts who may not know about it,” said Lim, who has traveled the world capturing the essence of motorcyclists, and their authenticity, love for the community and their bikes. “We’re going to create a social experience that highlights some of the best of this lifestyle in a welcoming, fun, chill and engaging environment. It’s going to be something very different, and you’ll know it when you walk into Clutch Society.”

The custom motorcycle scene is trending across Canada and its popularity shows no signs of slowing down. Manufacturers, independent builders, lifestyle brands and artists are all introducing new bikes, new concepts, new gear and new accessories to this growing demographic of riders, who don’t mind getting their hands dirty in order to build a special kind of ride, suited to their unique tastes and preferences.

“The Toronto Motorcycle Show has earned its reputation as the only manufacturers’ show in Ontario, showcasing the new models and features for riders of all ages and experience. But at the same time, we recognize that the market is hungry for even more, and this desire for change and evolution is the driving force behind this new initiative,” said Toronto Show Manager, Neil Fardy. “Clutch Society will expand our reach and appeal to an even broader audience of enthusiasts. We’re absolutely thrilled to be working with Dan Lim and The Moto Foto to create this unique urban Toronto concept for the GTA riding community. His vision, creativity, professionalism, and connections make him the perfect fit and ideal partner to bring Clutch Society to life.”

Featuring the largest display of 2020 new model motorcycles, scooters, ATVs and side-by-sides, the show’s brand line-up includes Aprilia, BMW Motorrad, Can-Am, Harley-Davidson, Ducati, Honda, Indian, Kawasaki, KTM, Moto Guzzi, Piaggio, Suzuki, Triumph, Vespa and Yamaha.
