Largest Saturday Consumer Turnout Headlines AIMExpo 2015

ORLANDO, Calif. (October 17, 2015) – The 2015 American International Motorcycle Expo (AIMExpo) kicked off its weekend activities at the Orange County Convention Center (OCCC) and saw the largest Saturday consumer turnout in the event’s three-year history.

Just days after brand new products were showcased to media and industry the doors were opened to consumers, riders and enthusiasts alike to experience the all-new offerings. Not only were consumers able to witness the new products, but they were also able to demo them at AIMExpo Outdoors! OEMs Honda, Yamaha, Star, Suzuki, Kawasaki, Can-Am, KYMCO, Zero and Harley Davidson offered street demo rides, while Arctic Cat, BRP, Honda, Massimo Motors, Suzuki, KYMCO and Yamaha offered off-road demos of ATVs and side-by-sides.

BMW

The German manufacturer offered attendees the opportunity to be transported to a variety of locales across the globe for an immersive virtual reality experience aboard some of its latest models. Visitors were able to spin laps around the Circuito De Almeria, the iconic test facility in Almeria, Spain, as they battled with other riders aboard the BMW S1000RR; navigate along a dirt trail on the R 1200GS Adventure bike; and cruise down a tree-lined country road while enjoying the popular R nineT.

AGV Helmets

AGV showcased its all-new AGVisor, an innovative motorcycle helmet visor able to quickly change from clear to dark in less than one second with just a push of a button. The transition is achieved through a low voltage that is applied to the liquid crystal system and is capable of staying in dark mode for up to 12 hours. A small, rechargeable battery powers the AGVisor that features a fail-safe system, anti-fog property and patented visor lock. The AGVisor is available for the Pista GP, Corsa and GT-Veloce helmet lines.

Garage Party

Rounding out Saturday’s action-packed schedule was the first-ever Garage Party, presented by Ace Cafe. With a flood of custom bikes lining the show floor thanks to the Chopper Legends Showcase, rockabilly great Jason D. Williams showcased his electric style before a huge crowd. Garage Party ambassador Leticia Cline was on hand to help with the festivities, meeting fans and sharing her own bike build stories.
