Honda’s long-awaited VFR1200F, Yamaha’s reverse-engined YZ454F with the fuel-injector sitting at the front, BRP’s new Spyder Touring, and the Fischer MRX American-build sportbike with Ohlins rear suspension — those are among the new motorcycles that will be available for hands-on inspection at the Toronto Motorcycle Show, Dec. 11–13.
More than 150 exhibitors, including including Aprilia, BMW, BRP, Ducati, Harley-Davidson, Honda, Hyosung, Kawasaki, KTM, Polaris, Suzuki, Triumph, Victory, and Yamaha will fill the South Building of the Metro Toronto Convention Centre at the MMIC show.
Other highlights will include Suzuki’s new Boulevard M50, GSX1250FA and SEA sport-touring models and off-road RMX450Z; Yamaha’s Rossi Replica R1 and Stratoliner Bagger Deluxe; Honda’s CBF600S; and an electric scooter by E-Max that has been approved for road use in Canada under the same rules as 49cc scooters.
Then there is the annual She Rides night, with free admission for women on Friday after 5 (which should be a general rule, everywhere); Extreme Globe, with young daredevils performing three times a day, if they survive; an appearance by Jason Britton, host of SuperBikes; the Yamaha Riding School for Kids; Bikes and Birds; and vintage displays by the Vintage Road Racing Association and the Canadian Vintage Motorcycle Group. You’ll also find all kinds of info on clubs at Rider Nation.

Hmhhh, it appears that Steve may have been drinking and typing … 🙂
Sorry, fixed the spelling errors now.
BTW, yes Norton will be there – just got confirmation of that yesterday. More info to follow.
“free admiossion”??? I’ve never seen such a short article with so many errors in it before.
Norton UK have said to me on email that Norton Canada LTD will be presenting at the show also but I do find that hard to believe. Not sure if you lads have any info on that?
“GSX250FA and SEA sport-touring models” >> too bad a “1′ is missing as I’d rather have a 250 then a 1250.
RET
A Yamaha YZ4540F? I didn’t know they made a 4.5 litre engined dirt bike… Typo?
hmm … and don’t forget Moto Guzzi … booth 1705 :p
