“I remember going to the exact location years ago for the Red Bull City X and it was huge, hopefully, we can replicate that.”
Said event organiser Troy Bayliss: "We are absolutely thrilled to be giving motorcycle fans the first opportunity to watch Robbie (Maddison) ride the waterbike.
“He has been pushing the limits for years, his stunts such as the Corinth Canal jump, Arc de Triomphe jump, and backflip over the Tower Bridge in London have made him a household name.
“To see him riding the same waterbike he rode in the big Tahiti waves is a rare opportunity not to be missed. It may not be done again.”
Showcasing the latest motorcycles, scooters, ATVs, side-by-sides and much more, the 2017 Sydney Motorcycle Show will be held at the Sydney International Convention Centre in Darling Harbour from November 24-26.
