Looking at the exhibitor list (as of 12/20/2017), it looks like Aprilia, Ducati, KTM, Triumph and Yamaha will not be there this year. Boo

So you mean all the good bikes?

If by good bikes you mean Yamahas, then yes.

Let me rephrase. If by 'good bikes' you mean Yamaha's, then no, there will not be any good bikes there. :D

No Honda either. Al Lamb did their display last year and I didn’t see them either. I don’t think I’m going to go.

Each year I spend less and less time there, last year I was there for maybe an hour. With the increase in price, shtty parking options for cages, I don’t think the risk equals the reward anymore

Honda is there. They are listed under American Honda Motor Co., Inc. I'm still debating on whether I will go or not.

Wow, Ducati had a big display 2 years ago when I last went . They were showing off their Scramblers.So did KTM, first time I got to sit on a RC390 like mine. Can't remember if Triumph was there but I know Aprilla was not. I think only the big shows in NY, LA, or Chicago, get the smaller brands like Aprilla, Triumph, and MV Agusta.

For me it will depend on the weather and all that good stuff, driving to dallas for a so-so show is kind of meh but the camping display part by itself has my attention.

Wow, no Honda, Yamaha, Ducati, Aprilla ! I did notice MV Augusta will be there which I never see one in person.
I plan on taking the train from the station by my house off 121. It takes you you Union Station in Dallas then jump on Dart which takes you right to the convention center, no parking or traffic mess.
