Just me, or a little sparse (attendance)? I was there all Saturday evening and it felt quite roomy and comfy! Can't complain though. Didn't miss Kawi at all. Heard a few vendors gripe a little about very low sales at this show and eagerly awaiting the January one, but personally I like the manufacturer "auto-show" classy vibe.
I enjoyed sitting on the F3 this year, and propping my newborn on every exotic and mini bike I could find.

I just don't see any reason to upgrade to the new 600rr because it's so similar to the previous gen. Sitting on it felt very familiar, right down to the identical gauge cluster.
As for the show overall, people are entitled to their opinions about it so I don't know why you're getting worked up about that. Personally, it was my first manufacturer bike show so I was curious to check it out. I expected it to be like the auto show and it was except smaller scale and not as much flare. Nothing there I couldn't see at a dealership for free. I'm glad I went but I don't plan on going back unless I hear about something exciting.
Damn, missed that.

+1. ^ This is it ^
You go to this show, but not every year. It is really only once in a while.
Years ago I had a chance to go to a motorcycle show in Europe, if I remember correctly the ticket was 4 euros full price (like 6 dollars, way cheaper than the $16 they charge here). They had everything the Toronto show has, TIMES TWO, for almost one third of the entrance fee.

I got my tickets for free. Have friends that work at Honda!.
Went Saturday mid day. Thought the overall show was good. I hadnt been in a couple of years and enjoyed it. Not sure if i would pay $16 to go to it every year, but it was nice to get back there again.
I agree, that the new CBR600RR feels very familar. I too was shocked to see the same gauge cluster. I was most impressed with the Honda and Ducati booths. (after all Ducat had booth girls!)
Ducati seemed to be pretty pushy when it came to them having used bikes on hand that they were tryign to move. One of the guys was chatting about a Monster with me, then told me about used ones, and offered several times to walk me over to look at them... As soon as I told him i wasnt interested he walked way and did the same speech to the next person.
As always I skipped drinks or the over priced food and opted to simply stop at Burger King on the way home.
hoping i can snag some free tickets to the January show as well.
Great pics to those who have posted from the show. I left my camera at home but will bring it next time for sure!

who's getting worked up? im simply stating the obvious
Did anyone pop into the AnimèCon event downstairs in the north building
LOL
LOL
As I was leaving the parking I saw some asians dressed up as what I can only assume was a robot of some sort. s/he was head to toe in boxes. Me and the bf just shook our heads.
there's weirdos everywhere. first time i saw that **** i though i might have ingested some shrooms, as several cartoon characters came prancing my way lol
My first thought was if I had of brought my niece she would have thought that her toys had come to life.
I had to giggle though....when we got there there were HUNDREDS of them in the main lobby waiting to get into the show....it's was like a singles mingle for Animè lovers
Adults dressed as Japanese cartoons
wow
that's a new level of crazy

let me tell you, done wrong, it is disastrous... but done right
Wow, all of them girls are amazingly gorgeous... but #3.... WOW...
Anyone happen to get pics of one of the models at the suzuki booth? Blonde and black hair from the last time I saw her... An ex of mine. Was trying to get me to come down to the show, but it sure isn't worth the drive.
I'll be there in January in support of some MX people.
