Ducati's new Multistrada will be unveiled at the Montreal show.

The Montreal Motorcycle Show opens today at the Montreal Convention Centre.

The MMIC show will feature the new motorcycles and ATVs from all major manufacturers, and two highly anticipated bikes will be debuted there: the Ducati Multistrada 1200, and Harley-Davidson's Sportster Forty-Eight.

Accessory distributors and manufacturers, custom builders, clubs, and other groups involved in modern and vintage motorcycling will have displays there.

MMIC motorcycle shows are staged across Canada and feature special events for women and children as well as fashion shows, information about everything connected with motorcycling, and large displays of all the current and especially the new motorcycles.

Montreal's show has gained a reputation for extravagance and entertainment.

The show runs today to 10 p.m., Saturday from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Sunday from 10 to 5 p.m.
