Sydney Bike Show Print E-mail

23rd November 2008

Held at Homebush, within Sydney’s inner west, the Bike Show was a large success with a large crowd turning out to view the latest and future models of motorbikes. Custom bikes were also scattered throughout so that those with the modifying bug able to scope what they could do to certain bikes if they were to buy one.

 

The 2009 model Suzuki and Yamaha ranges proved very popular with crowds, 3 people deep, forming around their stands throughout the weekend.


One particular company which launched a whole new range was KTM. This company is better known for their range of dirt bikes with their products typically the choice by the most elite extreme racers. But KTM’s new range of road bikes stunned crowds with their angular designs and use of their trademark orange, black and white colours. Keen followers of the automotive world will know that KTM also plan to release their X-Bow “Race” Track car. With acceleration and top speeds to rival even the most supreme supercars, KTM seem to have their heads in the right places in order for their companies profile to grow. If you browse the internet for pictures and videos of this car, what you see will demand you wanting one. Luckily, talks between KTM and Audi have expected Australian release due mid 2010. Although the X-Bow may only arrive in limited numbers, its success has already been shown with a very limited release in the UK.

 

New company Can-am had also officially launched their new tricycle range for the Australian market appropriately named the Spyder Roadster. Although these vehicles have been on our roads for the past few months, knowledge of them has been quite minimal. The attraction to these vehicles is their 1000cc engine and handling abilities. Reviewers state that these vehicles are able to outrun some of the top street bikes due to their superior handling and cornering abilities.

 

With many bikes to view from street, cruiser, custom, racing and dirt varieties, the show was a huge success and proves that the bike culture is just as strong in numbers compared to the car enthusiasts.
