2007 Cycle World Int'l Motorcycle Show, New York

While in sheer size, it may pale in comparison to some of the European shows, the 2007 Cycle World International Bike Show rolled into New York City's Javits Center as one of the largest consumer motorcycle shows in America, hosting as many as 80,000 rabid motorcycle fans over the course of the mid-holiday weekend.

For the frozen Right Coast, the show is a welcome relief at a time when most riders have put up their bikes for the winter and are hungry for any two-wheel relief. This year's show did not disappoint, putting more than 600 new bikes on display from 19 different manufacturers.

Although it was cold and raining outside, hordes of frigid motorcyclists welcomed the opportunity to come inside, look at the new products the industry is unveiling and to begin planning their next purchases for the upcoming riding season. If the New York show is any indication, 2008 looks like another banner year for anyone who loves two wheels.
