It looks like the Intermot Motorcycle Show in Munich, Germany will have plenty of new or updated motorcycles. The largest motorcycle show will of course not only show motorcycles, but also many accessories and more important; gadgets !!
BMW
I'd say that the most important new motorcycle to be shown at the show will be BMW's entry in the super sports motorcycle arena, the K1200S !! This 160 bhp motorcycle, stuffed with the latest technology, has been slated to be in the Hayabusa league.
So far the press that have had the chance to ride the motorcycle have loved it, so it'll look promising.
Kawasaki
Kawasaki should be showing their new ZX-6R motorcycle, and updates to the ZX-10R. Possibly, Kawasaki will also be showing the new version of their popular Z750.
Yamaha
Yamaha have already prelaunched the MT-01 a couple of months ago, so we can probably expect to see it in Munich, together with new development on their R6 sportsbike.
Suzuki
Suzuki are planning to show their announced updates to the GSX-R1000 (new look, less weight), the new Bandit 650 (replacing the 600) and their new supermoto, the SM.
KTM
Austrian motorcycle manufacturer KTM will most probably be showing their update to their successful 950 Adventure, and the 990 Duke.
Bimota
Bimota should be showing the first protos of the announced DB5 (the Ducati Multistrada equipped motorcycle).
Honda
Not much interesting this year from Honda. You'll probably see several updates to their existing product range, but nothing earth shattering, unless they've been very good at hiding their development efforts. It's doubtful that we'll see the new VFR1200....
The show is held between 15 and 19 September. I was hoping to go to the show, but prior engagements a few 1000 kilometers down south make it impossible for me to be there. Bummer !
