Still pretty stoked on my v1 Bronson. New bikes are overrated, time to get out and ride is what I'm excited about.
Having said that, my friend is going through an extensive demo process right now and that Evil The Following looks pretty sweet.

I should have a Spot Rollik in the spring. Very impressed with the demo I rode.

I'm mostly excited to see what arctic cat puts out for an M8000 this spring.
I mean hey, it has handlebars. And it trumps by far my excitement for any bicycle right now (right now being february)Besides the comet that killed the dinosaurs nothing has destroyed a species faster than entitled white people.-ajp

I have to agree the 5010 produced that same feeling for me. It would probably be the perfect bike for maybe 2/3 of my riding. I demo'd a Nomad same day as well. It climbed pretty well considering its geometry, that is until things got steep. I took it up this hill that gets steep at the top, same hill I took the 5010 up. When I got to the steep part the Nomad didn't just get hard to pedal is just stopped dead, as if I was pedalling it straight into the ground. The 5010 climbed it no problem.
I might have to see if I can lighten up my old delirium - right now it's a 41 lb tank. Swapping in air fork/shock and lighter wheels would make it light enough to be fun to ride again. Then I could get away with it and something like the 5010.

Anything with a horst link, 26" wheels, and non-stupid geometry.

I'll just be thrilled to ride in shorts.

Just put studded tires on my Scout for the shitty winter we are having. Picked it up toward the end of last season. Just an awesome bike. 2016 scouts (which mine is), have a higher BB and shorter cranks which basically eliminated the pedal strikes from the 2015 version.

Bike I'm stoked on currently: my Canyon Strive - got a few good rides on it near St George over Tgiving and I'm fired up for this spring. The shapeshifter switch is a dream come true for this bike fiddler.
Bike I'm lusting over next: Intense Uzzi 275 . Slap on a 26" rear wheel and a longer 2.75" stroke shock with offset bushings... make an 8" bike travel bike that should pedal & carve awesome in the low 30-lb range

Waffling between a Ripley LS and a mojo HD. Analysis paralysis...

The TransAm 275 frame in my shed. Building it out with a 140mm 36/ flow ex/ xt 1x11. Having a hard time staying motivated for skiing with temps in the 50's here...

What Bike Are You Most Excited About Spring 16?
"One season per year, the gods open the skies, and releases a white, fluffy, pillow on top of the most forbidding mountain landscapes, allowing people to travel over them with ease and relative abandonment of concern for safety. It's incredible."

Anybody looking into plus bikes this year? If I can swing it would love to get one for my girlfriend. Seem like perfect approach to getting over the hurdle of technical or rocky terrain

It's not so much the pedaing going up, she's great at that and loves it, as riding through tech sections going down. If it's a dirt highway like kingdom trails she can ride for hours and hours, but gets real timid on rocks and roots
