Montreal Motorcycle Show 2015



Annual Motorcycle Show
Montreal

February 27 - March 1, 2015


This is the only Motorcycle annual show in Montreal that brings together about 150 exhibitors. The majority are the world’s major motorcycle manufacturers, who exhibit all of their latest models. There are also a number of industry experts. The Montreal Motorcycle Show, presented by La Capitale General Insurance, features many attractions making it the must attend event for motorcycle aficionados.


Project LiveWire Experience is now in Montreal.The visitors have a unique opportunity to "test-drive" the first electric motorcycle from Harley-Davidson, installed on the JUMPSTART demonstrator. They can experience first hand the fast acceleration and the specific sounds of a Harley-Davidson, and can conclude that the electrically juices motorbike remains truly powerful. The bike on display is only prototype, with no date of production yet in view.


For the first time at the Show, and in collaboration with Spydertv.net, a display of customized Can-Am Spyders includes seven Quebec bikes as well as those that came from New York and New Jersey. The owners are on hand to answer visitors’ questions. The design of these three-wheelers by Can-Am BRP proves to be increasingly popular.


The traditional She Rides Nite return to the Show on Friday, February 27, 2015. Starting at 5 p.m., women pay just half the regular admission price. This celebration of the feminine side of riding will include surprises for visitors, including draws for a Ninja EX300 ABS Special EDT courtesy of Kawasaki and Sport Collette, and two motorcycle outfits compliments of TruCulture Motorcycle Clothing. 


In addition, visitors have the chance to view the Women’s Motorcycle Exhibit, a travelling display of 30 photos by renowned photographer Lanakila MacNaughton (see an example of her exhibited work just below).  Inspired by the new wave of modern female motorcyclists, MacNaughton’s exhibit reveals the brave and exuberant women who live to ride, expressing their personality, freedom, and independence.
