“We have a great variety of styles and brands of bikes being shown for the first time ever in Australia as well as a huge line-up of 2015 bikes, ATVs and UTVs (side-by-sides) that have only just landed in Australia," Petersen said.
“If you are a motorcycle enthusiast, Moto Expo is the place to be. For anyone thinking about motorcycles as a new form of transport or enjoyment, experts will also be on hand to offer excellent advice. We also have a range of motorcycle learning courses on hand and a great line up of new LAMS-approved motorcycles.”
