Previous post was on Honda CBR250R I saw on May 21, but this is some of the other bikes I saw at the two dealerships I visited. Of course of late, Blogger is kind of mixing up the photos but still works ok. Here is at left big and green is one of the Harley-Davidson CVO models. I think that stands for "Custom Vehicle Operations", and what that gives you is more bike of certain HD models. For instance this one comes with a lot more chrome than is standard, and a great deal of performance upgrades thanks to its "Screaming Eagle" package. If you want more of what HD has to offer, this bike (and others in the CVO line are for you. Of course, this bike was a bit over $32K!
Commonwealth Power Sports is practically within walking distance of Colonial Harley-Davidson (where the photo at top was taken). They carry Suzuki, Kawasaki, Yamaha (plus the Star Line) and Honda motorcycles. They also have ATV's and "Jet Ski" type water craft. The dealership is large and has a number of accessories for those vehicles, plus a service department, and also have clothing and other items (but nothing clothing wise on the scale of your average HD dealer). It was my second visit there since coming to Richmond, and I like the shop. Trend in Japanese dealerships seem to be "bigger is better" though you can still find single brand dealerships.
Seen here is one of the motorcycles at Commonwealth Power Sports; in this case the Kawasaki ZX-10. While the Japanese make all sorts of motorcycles, they are probably best known for their sport bikes. Those bikes tend to be technologically advanced to a great degree and provide some very high performance. I ride a Japanese cruiser (a Kawasaki Vulcan 1500 Classic) and even that has many features not found on the typical Harley such as water-cooling, and a shaft drive (though Harley does have the water-cooled V-Rod line which raises the bar for that brand). They also tend to sell for a lot less than your average Harley does.
This is Colonial Harley-Davidson, which like Commonwealth is located in Colonial Heights, Va (which by the way is located between Richmond and Petersburg). I liked this one, has a good line of motorcycles, nice service department from what I saw, and people as at Commonwealth were friendly without being pushy. There was a poker run going on while I was there, and there were a slew of bikes coming and going. Harley dealerships tend to have a lot going on, and usually serve as a starting point for many "Harley Owners Group (aka HOG) events. I like visiting Harley shops as you get to meet a lot of interesting riders, and see some great classic bikes.
