Welcome to the 2011 New Model Buyers Guide – a complete index of all the new road-going models (including dual-sports, but not off-road) that will be available in Canada in 2011.
Please note that if the model name is followed by “NFC” that means “Not For Canada” as in you can’t get it here but we thought you’d like to read about it anyway.
Oh yes, and “Concept” denotes that it’s a concept bike and not actually in production (as in also NFC by default).
BTW, the NMBG is an evolving section which continually grows as more new models are released throughout the year. As we update or add to models we’ll be sure to put the 
symbol next to them on this index page for easy reference.
To see each manufacturer’s new model listings for 2011, click on their logo in the index below or their name on the main NMBG menu to the right (once it appears – you need to get into the system first).
