Honda WILL attend the 2015 AimExpo in Orlando

[Hondasxs]

Last year Honda remained for the most part absent from the 2014 American International Motorcycle Expo, AimExpo. Only sneaking in as the Hall of Fame sponsor and nothing more. With the Pioneer 700 such a popular item one would have expected to see Honda attending and offering demo's along side other manufacture. Yet they remained MIA. We were left clueless to there decision not to attend. Unbeknownst to us club member @bigc seemed to know the answer as he posted the following:

Re: AIMExpo... WHERE IS HONDA?
they are busy building the best on earth

An that they were! Honda knew they had bigger plans for the future as there Flag Ship units where not quite ready for the 2014 show.

Jumping forward one year, Honda has pushed a major shift in the powersports game. The announcement of a new 1000cc motor powering two FlagShip units. The Pioneer 1000 Side by Side and the African Twin 1000 Adventure bike. Honda now has there arsenal ready to show!

IRVINE, Calif. (July 7, 2015) –The American International Motorcycle Expo (AIMExpo) announced today that American Honda (Honda), a leading manufacturer of motorcycles, ATVs and side-by-sides, will make its AIMExpo debut October 15-18 at the Orange County Convention Center (OCCC) in Orlando. The world’s most iconic powersports brand will be represented both inside the OCCC and at AIMExpo Outdoors! With the addition of Honda, AIMExpo now includes all four Japanese brands among its continually expanding list of key OEMs.

In a statement, Chuck Boderman, VP, Powersports Division at American Honda said:

“We’re pleased to officially be a part of AIMExpo for 2015. During our activities around last year’s show, it was clear that it can be an effective avenue for us to connect with our customers, dealers, industry partners and media friends. We look forward to being in Orlando in October.”

Larry Little, VP and GM of AIMExpo had this to say about Honda's announcement:

“Honda adds a significant and welcomed presence to the show floor at AIMExpo, and to the strong experiential element of AIMExpo Outdoors! They did their homework and recognized the value inherent in the platform’s expansive architecture and will be taking full advantage of the four days of opportunity presented this October in Orlando. It’s going to be a very exciting exhibit hall this year and we look forward to welcoming Big Red and the new machines they’ll be bringing to the party!”

We are excited to see Honda's booth as well as full demo rides from there 2016 line.
