I'm VERY disappointed that Kawasaki pulled several stops off the circuit this year. What gives? I was anticipating hitting 2 of them this year and now I cant hit any and i really want to take a couple out of a final ride prior to making my next purchase this year..Major bummer

We had to cut some from the tour because inability to reach agreements with property owners and other logistical nightmares. There also will be a "Dirt Demo" truck and staff added to this years budget so as usual we can't please everyone. not that we don't try.Sorry

My husband and I went to both Boston and NY. I loved the pick up on the 10R but I loved the Versys the best. I found myself looking for bumps and imperfections in the road to run them over. Too bad there weren't any dirt roads around. We're already signed up for the Boston event so far. Can't wait!!!!

Guess its not bad if your on the eastern seaboard but several stops were dropped from the midwest leaving one in St Louis. No sense even trying to make that one because it'll probably be saturated.
Not a person attack Dxtr the rides Ive been on were well planned and all the staff were knowledgable and helpful.

When you look at how the events are clustered in PA, MD and VA, either a lot of time was put into the target audience or lack thought and $$ made it neccessary to drop some huge geography. Either way, I see it a lose/lose situation for Kawasaki and the midwest. Maybe next year the event planners can throw another venue like Denver back in the mix.

Yeh, I know. we have a very limited amount of time to get these events out there . We found out fast the it gets TO HOT after July and spring is very iffy on storms and cold. The clusters of events are the most densly populated areas and are a bigger bang for our budget bux. Don't think we aren't trying our very best for you . we could even ad events when possible so keep an eye on the schedule.

Cool..I just got taken out of the buying phase for this year..Hopefully next year they'll throw another venue back in the mix..May still try to make one someplace just to try out the line-up anyway..Will be getting a touring model of something and it's down to 3 bikes with the Concours being one..Oddly enuf a HD is another but the $$$ and hype are hard to get around.
Thanks for the hard work

LOL! They even dropped Nashville off the Venue.

Hey Dini Meanie, the Versys is intoxicating! That is the bike I bought after last years "ticket to ride" demo event.
Hey Dxtr, Are they going to have a green and black Vaquero in the lineup at Roswell, GA?

Yes , there is a green and a blue one on the east coast truck.

Well crap. They've dropped the Denver demo. Great. (yes, I'm just noticing this now)

Cool. I guess I am heading to Roswell this weekend. Hopefully the rain holds off.

I went to the Kawasaki Demo event in Tampa this past weekend and had a great time. I did not make it to this event last year but wish I had. The ride is considerably longer and better than the Daytona bikeweek demo ride (understandably). The Ninja 1000 is a fantastic bike and ZX14R is just a bullet train. There was even a local radio station broadcasting from there for a few hours and I won a nice Kawasaki golf shirt. Thanks to Kawasaki and ROK for a great event.
