NZ MOTORCYCLE SHOW 2023
The annual NZ Motorcycle Show has now come and gone , with organisers celebrating another successful outing . Held at Henderson ’ s The Trusts Arena over May 20-21 , the annual charity show raised funds to pass on to its chosen charities . Exhibitors of note included BMW Motorrad , Benelli and Royal Enfield with the latter using the show to showcase the new Super Meteor 650 to the masses a week after its local dealer launch . Also on hand were not one but TWO examples of the iconic Britten V1000 ( three if you count the mini bike version !) as well as another stunning example of Kiwi motorcycle engineering in the Engrich ART motorcycle . While , admittedly , it was disappointing to see such a low turnout from the New Zealand motorcycle industry , the NZ Motorcycle Show more than made up for it with the turnout from clubs and solo bike exhibitors alike . The sheer number of Italian machines in particular was something to behold . Other rarities included a lineup of Vincents ,
rare Triumphs and even a Harley-Davidson military spec Rotax dirt bike . If you missed this year ’ s show , keep an ear out for next year ’ s dates by following the NZ Motorcycle Show Facebook page or subscribing right here to KR .
