Apart from the usual range of updated models for 2010 from most exhibitors, Ducati have the new Multistrada, BMW the much talked about S 1000 R sportsbike and Kawasaki the all new Z1000 naked.

BRP are showing of a number of RT touring Spyders, one set-up with a trailer.

Suzuki have all the 2010 update models, with newly crowned Aus Superbike champ Josh Waters gracing the stand. Yamaha have a few interesting bikes with the LAMS legal 600 FZ, and an electric concept scooter.

The event opens at 9 am daily on Saturday and Sunday.
