Never understood why some people want to have these "pretties" (matter of taste, I find most not very pretty) around at the shows. Imho it keeps other women and families or couples a bit away and adds nothing to the exhibitions. Better off without those "pretties" imho.

Most of those bees are wasps, and those aren't stingers in their pants.

I'm only there for the Cars / Bikes of course...  my Wife happily comes along....

 

...but, it's difficult to explain the need for wearing mirrored sun-glasses indoors...

Women at motor shows are acceptable - as long as they are young and pretty.

But families and children? Brats running around and making a lot of noise are horrible. They should do that somewhere at school or maybe in a park or beach far away. ????

Option A:

Option B:

 

[eisfeld]

Well, I didn't mention children. But I think the overall motorbike scene would be profiting from more people, including women being interested. The bigger the population that rides proper bikes, the lower the prices, bigger offering in terms of models and dealers as well as lower chance of anti-bike laws being passed. Just like sales girls who know f-all about what they sell and were just highered because of their looks, I think it's actually counter productive.

 

Damnit, now I sound like some politically correct social justice warrior ????

Sorry, I contributed to that. So to get back on topic: were there any new bikes announced that were not previously announced somewhere else? Didn't do much research to be honest.

Especially in BKK where herds of thai men all need to make pictures of those girls, pushing real customers away from the bikes they are interested in....they should stop with it and only show bikes.

[canthai55]

No need to be Sorry. Your views and comments always welcome. Nice to hear from someone who knows bikes.

As per OP - CRF e-Bike

[Damrongsak]

My sister accompanied my Dad one time at a trade show.  Became a defacto "booth babe".  They were selling industrial equipment, so she fit in. 555
