NZ BIKE SHOW DATES ANNOUNCED A fter the postponement of this year’s New Zealand Motorcycle Show we’ve been waiting to find out when the biggest gathering of the Kiwi motorcycle industry will next take part, and we finally have an answer. The next New Zealand Motorcycle Show will take place the weekend of November 7-8, 2020. While it seems like a long time between drinks for the annual show, this year’s event was pushed back for a variety of reasons, with the organisers saying that not wanting to compromise the quality of the show was a major factor. “The reason was simply because of dates not working for the new bikes to be released in NZ”, says NZ Motorcycle Show event organiser Azhar Bhamji. “We didn’t want to make the show smaller as it had a great response from the whole 112 KIWI RIDER community. With the new dates released the feedback has been amazing already with so many people starting to plan to attend. Many exhibitors have already confirmed, alongside clubs.” The event is looking to be the best NZ Motorcycle Show to date with Bhamji letting KR in on a few new features which will make their debut with the 2020 show. “There will be a few more new facets to the 2020 event”, he said. “There will be a huge outdoor entertainment segment in the arena alongside more features. There will be Tech Talk sessions, a Ride Out Zone and few more features we can’t talk about right now until we have it all signed up.” We can’t wait to hear more closer to the November 2020 date.
