My local Kawasaki dealer arranged to have the Kawasaki Demo truck for a couple of days last weekend so I took advantage of it. Temperatures for the rides were in the 40s which kept the number of demo riders down and probably kept away less committed and experienced riders. I ended up riding 9 different bikes. Here were my experiences and opinions of those bikes:
The ride over to Decatur, Alabama on Friday and took some pics when I got there.
One of the lead riders was going to be late because he was flying in from California and his flight the previous day had been cancelled. This delayed the start of the ride giving me some time to kill. I checked out the demo fleet.

I also checked out the showroom. It was completely packed with bikes. It seems like most of the supply shortage of bikes is now in the past. Royal Enfield and Triumph has been getting bikes here for a while, Recently Kawasaki sent over a bunch of inventory. Of the brands sold here only Yamaha still hasn't figured out how to get inventory over here.
Until recently small dual sport bikes were next to impossible to find in showrooms but they had some here.
A new gray KLX230.
Even a KLX300.
