2020 Bike shows
Looks like they might not happen either.
KTM and BMW have already announced they will not attend any this year.

Re: 2020 Bike shows

Ironically the shows are what might kick start there sales.

Reading an article on NME website ( i think) they reckoned they might be no mass gatherings allowed pretty much anywhere all year.
