Stars of Mad Max at 2015 Sydney Motorcycle Show

The country’s best stunt riders and their bikes will be on show in Sydney from November 20-22

Three motorcycles from the action movie Mad Max Fury Road have been confirmed to be on display at the Sydney Motorcycle Show on November 20-22 at Sydney Oympic Park.

The heavily-modified Yamahas all featured in the movie that was shot on location in Namibia, Africa, with many of the stunts performed by Australia's top FMX and motocross riders.

Event Organiser Troy Bayliss said the display would be a popular attraction with visitors of all ages.

"Although these bikes returned to Australia following the filming of the movie, it is a rare opportunity for the public to have the chance to view them," Bayliss said.

"Anyone who has seen the latest instalment of the Mad Max films is aware of how big a part motorcycles played in the film. To have a selection of the actual bikes used in the movie on display brings a slice of Hollywood to the Sydney Motorcycle Show.

"It makes it all the more special knowing that Australian riders played a major role in actually doing the stunts, under the direction of Stephen Gall," Bayliss continued. 

Gall, who was the Motorcycles Specialist Coordinator on the movie will also be a special guest at the Show and said he was thrilled to able to share his experiences with the wider motorcycling community.

"This is really rare opportunity for Australians to come out see these bikes up close," Gall said.

"We are going to hold some presentations for visitors to the show to come and discuss the motorcycles and the stunts that were performed in the movie," Gall added.

The Sydney Motorcycle Show will pay homage to Australia’s successful motorcycle stunt industry and includes an action-packed line up of motorcycle stunt entertainment including KTM street bike stunt rider Lukey Luke, Yamaha stunt rider Dave McKenna, renowned freestyle motocross outfit Showtime FMX, World Freestyle Trials Champion Jack Field and for the younger visitors to the show the ‘Epic’ Darren Children’s Stunt Show.

Epic Darren recreates stunts inspired by famous stuntmen from around the world and all while riding a mini-bike. In a first for the Sydney Motorcycle Show Darren will attempt to write his way into the Guinness Book of World Records climbing through a tennis racquet while riding a mini-bike on Saturday afternoon.

Oset Electric Bikes will host the 'kids come and try zone’ at the Sydney Motorcycle Show giving children of all ages the opportunity to try the popular bikes in a safe, secure location and under the watchful eye of industry experts.

Capping off the celebration to the motorcycle stunt industry Australia’s very own Evel Knievel, Robbie Maddison will be mingling with show visitors on Friday and Saturday (November 20 and 21).
