BMW Motorrad has announced that it will be exhibiting at this year’s BikeFestUK and following the huge success of its debut year which saw nearly 7,000 visitors attend, the show is returning for 2008 to Donington Park on Saturday 07 June.
Supported by one of the UK’s leading sportsbike magazines, Fast Bikes, BikeFest is a totally interactive, one-day show where visitors have the opportunity to test ride motorcycles - either around Donington’s famous Grand Prix circuit or on local road routes. Additionally there are a wide range of trade stands to be visited.
BMW Motorrad will exhibit alongside other leading motorcycle manufacturers and will have a selection of bikes on display including many of the brand new enduro models. The F 650 GS, F 800 GS, R 1200 GS and R 1200 GS Adventure will all be available to view and test ride. Naturally BMW’s friendly and knowledgeable staff will be on hand to offer in depth technical support and information.
The latest items from the 2008 BMW Rider Equipment range will also be on display showcasing the innovative design & technology designs that BMW Rider Equipment is renowned for. The new Rider Equipment brochures will also be available from the BMW Motorrad stand. There will also be representatives from the World of BMW to discuss the wide range of activities available to existing and potential customers including, BMW Off Road Skills, BMW Tours and BMW Rider Training. All details of the activities are provided in the 2008 World of BMW Activity Brochure, a free colour copy of which will be available on the stand.
Away from the BMW stand there is also plenty of on-track entertainment including stunt displays and appearances from British Superbike and World Superbike race teams, who will be riding demo laps to show off their bikes and riders. There will also be the chance to meet the teams with an “access everyone” race paddock. Visitors can also try the track out for themselves with manufacturers offering test rides both on-track and on official ride-outs on the road.
BMW Motorrad Marketing Manager, Tony Jakeman, said, “After the success of last year’s event we’re pleased to see BikeFestUK return for a second year. 2008 is a great year for BMW Motorrad. Our new enduro range has been extremely popular and with the recent release of the HP2 Sport reinforcing BMW’s new sporty image, the model is indicative of the brand shift that we have taken over recent years. It won’t be long before we’ll be seeing the recently announced S 1000 RR being ridden around Donington!”
