Went today. Wasn't all that bad. Sat on the 2014 Honda CB500F, CBR650F, BMW R nineT, F 700 GS, F 800 GT, R 1200 R, Yamaha FZ-09, a Zero S and a few others that were just so meh that I can't remember. I'll be busy come spring time setting up test rides for some of those as I'm curious about them. Especially the Zero S.
Got a good deal on the new Shoei RF 1200 (not that I really needed a new lid but, I couldn't say no to the price or graphics) and Tourmaster Transition 3 jacket. Saw some nifty gadgets, farkles, and gear but the crowd was so overwhelmingly thick that we didn't stay much longer after purchasing my new gear.
All in all, there seems to be more offerings for new riders, a bit more real world gear for women than previous years and it was great to see the vintage bikes get more center stage attention this year instead of being hidden in the far back corner of the convention center.
