Scooter News Australian Motorcycle Expo Specially painted motorcycles and scooters used to promote upcoming Motorcycle and Scooter shows.
Toby Lynch The first in an industry-wide series of eye-opening custom painted motorcycles has hit the streets.
The eye-catching Can-Am Spyder Roadster will be hard to miss as it cruises through Melbourne, Sydney and the Gold Coast, the host locations of Australia's three premier motorcycle showcase events.
Sporting a metallic red, black and silver paintscheme with detailed illustrations, the three-wheel roadster is just one of the new promotional bikes set to spread the word about the Australian Motorcycle Expo Melbourne and Gold Coast and Sydney Motorcycle Show.
Event Manager Mark Petersen of Exhibitions and Trade Fairs said there were a few more incredible motorcycles still to be unveiled at various locations across the East Coast.
"Our Can-Am Spyder has been on the road for just a few weeks and the response from the public has been amazing - it's a unique bike to begin with but the custom paint scheme, by Mark Brown of Brown's Grafix, really sets it off," said Petersen.
"We're less than two months away from the Australian Motorcycle Expo Melbourne and the Spyder will be seen on the streets of Melbourne leading up to the show, along with feature stands at the MotoGP, Sydney Motor Show and National 4x4 Show, Fishing Show and Outdoors Expo."
"As well as being convenient and easy to park, the Spyder is very fuel efficient compared to a car. There is little wonder that so many people are turning to two, or in this case, three wheels, as a cheaper alternative with petrol prices and the general cost of living so high."
To promote the first ever Australian Scooter Festival on the Gold Coast, a special edition Yamaha Aerox 50 sporting a custom 'Dukes of Hazzard' paint scheme will also take to the streets.
Organisers will pull the covers off two more incredible sports bikes at this year's MotoGP event at Phillip Island at the start of October.
Visitors should head to the Australian Motorcycle Expo stand at the MotoGP Expo for a first look at the airbrushed moto masterpieces, and keep an eye out at coming industry events for even more exciting promotional machines.
The Australian Motorcycle Expo Melbourne runs from Thursday October 30 to Sunday November 2 at the Melbourne Exhibition and Convention Centre, and will present the latest lineups from local and international motorcycle manufacturers as well as a host of products, accessories and services.
The Sydney Motorcycle Show will follow soon after, from November 21 to 23 at Sydney Olympic Park.
The inaugural Australian Motorcycle Expo Gold Coast roars into the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre from February 20-22 2009, incorporating the Australian Scooter Festival and the Australian Personal Watercraft (PWC) Show.
