10th Anniversary V-Twin Expo Delivers
10th Annual V-Twin Expo delivers more than just a world-class show to dealers and exhibitors alike.
Agoura Hills, CA— Despite snowstorms, closed airports and cold weather; the 10th Anniversary of the V-Twin Expo in Cincinnati proved the V-twin industry and its dealers are alive and flourishing. In addition to a world-class trade show, the Expo is also considered by many to be the barometer for the upcoming selling season within the v-twin industry.
Dealer and exhibitors alike left the 10th Annual V-Twin Expo with revitalized passion, enthusiasm and poise for the v-twin industry. Not only was the show floor flooded with new products and innovation, the topic most talked about was related to the trend industry insiders are seeing coming to life this pre-season and how to capitalize on it; hundreds of thousands of used bikes becoming “new” to someone else in 2010. Data supports this and both dealers and exhibitors alike were invigorated by this new opportunity and abuzz with ideas and products geared to meet the upcoming riding season.
10th Anniversary V-Twin Expo attendees spent the first February weekend in Cincinnati attending seminars, meeting with suppliers, builders, designers and much more. Dealers leaving Expo presented seminars were overheard talking about how spot on the seminar topics were and that each offered real time ideas and solutions dealers could apply in today’s sensitive business environment.

Our 10th Anniversary exceeded expectations and will continue to serve as the one and only truly focused V-twin Industry trade show for dealers and exhibitors. We are here for the long haul” commented Show Producer Jim Betlach. “The industry is right-sizing. With as many years as I have served this business, seeing this cycle before, I know those that come out on the right side of the process will be rewarded” finished Betlach.
