The second instalment of Moto Expo Melbourne will be held at the Victorian capital's showgrounds from November 25-27.
The first Moto Expo in 2014 proved to be a resounding success, and Troy Bayliss Events is following a similar formula in 2016 with all the latest bikes and accessories on hand as well as a multitude of other static displays, complemented by high-octane events such as the popular 'Baylisstic Scramble' as well demonstrations across the two-wheel spectrum.

Attendees at Moto Expo will have the opportunity to witness first-hand the unveiling of all new motorcycle models. A VIP bike viewing experience will also be open to the public, and will take place from 9:00am on Friday morning.
