Looking for an old school chopper or the latest ultra-cruiser? What about a super sport bike that could easily handle one of today's exotic cars? Well, look no further than the International Motorcycle Show presented by Toyota Trucks. This show is sure to appeal to a variety of riders from beginners to the hardcore, iron-butt veterans. Manufacturers from the American icon Harley Davidson to the German built BMW to the super sexy Italian bikes from Ducati and MV Agusta were definitely representing! Whether you're a motorcycle fanatic or a casual fan, you don't want to miss this show when it comes to town. Here are just a few examples of the hundreds of bikes on display.

The Ducati 999 Testastretta's name alone implies that a bit of testosterone is needed to handle this cycle.

Are your Spidey senses tingling? If so, then you know this is the Mototek Spiderman RS250.

Leave it to BMW to add a flat screen to a bike. OK, it's not a DVD player, but it does consolidate major control features into an easy to read LCD screen.

What's born when a Honda Gold Wing mates with a Civic? One sleek car inspired sport tourer dubbed the Honda ST1300.

With no sign of backing down, the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R continues to hold its own in the world of super sports.

OK, you may not make it to the MotoGP level, but at least you can look like it with this version of Honda's CBR 100RR.

It all starts with the Yamaha PW50. So face it, at $1,079 how can you say no to this smile?

Regardless of your level of experience with off-roaders, Kawasaki has something for you.

This custom Harley Davidson has too many add-ons to list. Rims, forks, chrome, wheels, seat, paint, exhaust pipes. You name it and this chopper has it.

Suzuki claims their revamped 2005 GXR 1000 pumps out 176-horsepower. Is Suzuki trying to reclaim their super sport bike crown???

StreetDreamz custom paint job was off the hook. This picture doesn't even do the Gotham City themed chopper adequate justice.

The Moto Guzi MGS-01 Corsa features a one-piece carbon fiber body design, 1256cc V-Twin and fully adjustable Ohlins suspension...perfect for on and off the track.

It's the 2005 Victory Hammer which comes with the largest rear tire (250mm) attached to a production bike.

Black on Black Yamaha Roadstar Warrior with red pin-stripped rims. What more is there to say but, Nice!

Toyota was on hand showing its rough, rugged, yet refined and versatile 2005 Tundra Double Cab

Just one of the many "mini" racers in the house from Xtreme Mini Racer, located in Woodbridge, VA. Baby Baaaby!
