Welcome to the third update of the 2009 New Model Buyers Guide – a complete index of all the new road-going models (including dual-sports, but not off-road) that will be available in Canada in 2009.

In this update we've added the final stragglers (mainly scooters) that we've been waiting on information on (though we know there are some new Peugeot scooters coming but the distributor seems to think it's better to not tell anyone about them ... sigh).

Please note, the NMBG is an evolving section which continually grows as more new models are released throughout the year. As we update or add to models we'll be sure to put the symbol next to them on this index page for easy reference.

To see each manufacturer's new model listings for 2009, click on their logo in the index below or their name on the main NMBG menu to the right (once it appears).

sure would be useful if the buyers guide had info on all current models available in ca instead of just new this year models. Posted by es 2008-11-9 14:39 Funny you should say that ....     Although it may take a while to get put together. Posted by editor arris 2008-11-9 15:19 Hey Big Fromage!     You could always just put the manufacturers webpage, or info on where the rest of the line is availible...    That's what I do.
