As one motorcycle season ends, dreams of the next year of riding begin.

And the Toronto Motorcycle Show is the place for Ontario residents to see the latest motorcycles, ATVs and scooters before they hit dealer floors.

The Toronto Motorcycle Show will feature over 150 exhibitors from motorcycle manufacturers, such as BMW, BRP, Buell, Ducati, Harley-Davidson, Honda, Kawasaki, KTM, Suzuki, Triumph, Victory, and Yamaha.

"We're excited about the new 2010 models that will be on display," said Bob Ramsay, President of MMIC. "Our members, who are the major manufacturers, are committed to showcasing their newest models at the Toronto show because this gives potential buyers a firsthand look at the new lineups for the coming year."

Along with motorcycles and all the accessories on sale, there are custom bikes on display, fashion shows and a long list of other features that include:

SHE RIDES NITE with free admission for women on Friday; The Extreme Globe with daredevil riders; stunt rider Jason Britton, Host of "SuperBikes"; the Yamaha Riding School for Kids; Bikes and Birds with live birds of prey; Rider Nation featuring a variety of riding groups, associations, and weekend race events and charity rides; and Memory Lane with The Vintage Road Racing Association (VRRA) and Canadian Vintage Motorcycle Group (CVMG) presenting an exhibit of rare racing bikes and motorcycles from the past.

The Toronto Motorcycle Show, one of seven Canadian motorcycle and ATV shows owned by the Motorcycle & Moped Industry Council (MMIC) and Canadian Off-Highway Vehicle Distributors Council (COHV), will be held at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre from Friday, December 11th until Sunday, December 13th, 2009.
