Did anybody go?  If so, what did the RE reps have to say about delivery of the 650's?    Was the Kawasaki W800 there?

I went to the show -- AND yes the W800 was there in all it's glory HOWEVER it was overshadowed by the new Enfield twin in an outstanding  display booth and a considerable lessor price.  The new Triumph scrambler was also featured, again a LOT of money.  The place was packed and interest seemed to be focused on the smaller machines.  Spoke with the Enfield dealer in Brea who seems very optimistic with the interest in Enfield's.  Many interested in the Himalayn and he is offering test rides from his dealerships by appointment.
