Alright, it's about time I tell you about this year's Korea International Motorcycle Show (KIMS).
This appears to be the second KIMS hosted in Daegu, and I was lucky enough to be here for the last one in 2004 - see here:

Having also been to the MotoMesse in Munich, Germany, I thought I had just about seen the best in motorshows but this year's KIMS was awesome!
Two massive floors with wall-to-wall bike stalls with everything from Yamaha, Suzuki, Ducati, Harley-Davidson, Kawazaki, MV, Scooters, Hyosung, accesories, you name it. And of course, the obligatory racing girls were out in force. However, shockingly, NO HONDA!
Outside in the carpark they had hourly stunt shows and a racing circuit with all the latest sportsbikes battling it out hardcore.
I've never seen a Tokyo motorshow, but I think this would be about as close, if not just as good, as you can get.
As they say, "A picture is worth a thousand words", so here goes:

Racing girls!
sidenote: Got a call from my GF whilst at the show:
"How's the show?"
"Wow! There are racing girls everywhere!"
"Aww... they must be blocking your view of the bikes, right?"
:) What a good sport she is~!

*New graphics for the Hyosung?
OK - I'm done for now. More pix of other stuff just as soon as I shrink them down to a dial-up friendly size~

Some good bike shots there Korea, thanks! Looks like a great show, especially with the stunting show outside too. All those Aprilia's lined up are cool, wonder what happened to Hon-duh? :scratch:

Asian girls + motorbikes = that's what I'm talking about.
I respect the fact you didn't feel the need to be in every photo with these girls. I respect it greatly. Why people don't sell massively large posters of Asian girls on bikes I'm not sure. I'd pay extra for 3D or scratch n sniff.
It's hard for me to decide which model I like best, I would have to ride them all. This applies to the bikes and girls.
Cheers for making my night.

I would say you are wrong, but then i'd be lying.
Wouldnt mind some of Ms. Suzuki. That line up of Aprilias is pretty hot, and im a bit of a sucker for the Ducati Monster, pitty its not the one with the white stripe down the tank.

Ha~! They're not all mine, honest!
I think the girls are quite used to being ogled at ~ you think the crowds were looking at the bikes? Hell, I had to go a second time to actually SEE motorcycles.
But yeah, my photo-shoot started off quite shyly, then became increasingly more brazen, much like these characters...

But wait, there's more!
New Carbon/Graphic helmets from HJC,
Brake discs and tasty anodised bits laid out like they're in a candy store
Pastel HJCs for the ladies?

You know you want it...
"Whose bike is this?"
"It's not a bike, it's a chopper"
"Well, who's Chopper?"
That's ME. :yes:

Let me know if you get bored...
Heavily modified scoots and minis...
Korea
15th September 2006, 03:45
Ho hum, it's the new Hyosungs with graphics.
Hmmm... should be popular with the newbie riders.
(Nb. Racing girls not included, sorry.)

Alright, last one then...
Tasty offerings from Yamaha, a Suzi & Duke.
By now you will have seen about as much as I did - all the benefits of a Korean motorshow without actually leaving the country~
There's also some scandalous video footage if anyone's keen, but that'll have to wait 'till time allows...
Hope you enjoyed the show.

Okay, at long last: The video of the show is here!
Actually, being the dedicated video-journalist that I am, I took great pains to film everything at the show - scooters, choppers, cruisers, sportsbikes, and of course, the racing girls.
The edited video was about 8 minutes long and I thought I'd break it up into 4x 2 minute chunks.
But then something occured to me: The KBers have seen all the pix by now, and do they really give a rats about seeing more scooters in video?
No. Rather, a few more bikes, and a lot more racing girls. Ne C'est pas?
So here it is, edited down to 2x 4mb, 2-minute, 320X240 pixel .WMV files.
Hope you enjoy it~ K
