KIWI RIDER 03 2019 VOL.1 | Page 22

Pricing for New Zealand has already been confirmed ahead of the May launch, with the base model V85 TT (available in Grey) set at $19,990 with the Premium Yellow/White/Red option sporting a $1000 premium at $20,990. With both bikes being identical in specification apart from the colour scheme, you’ll need to ask yourself; do I want to ride incognito, or stand out from the adventure riding crowd? NZ MOTORCYCLE SHOW DATES VANNOUNCED ew Zealand’s biggest motorcycle show will be back for another cracker year, with the confirmation that the New Zealand Motorcycle Show will return to Auckland’s ASB Showgrounds in September. Taking place the weekend of September 14-15, 2019 marks the third year the show has run in its current form at the ASB Showgrounds after outgrowing its original venue. Event Director, Azhar Bhamji, says the show is already well into the planning stages with 2019 to be even bigger than 22 KIWI RIDER last year’s show. “We are currently working on massive outdoor spectacular for this upcoming year alongside some feature bikes which have never been seen before, he told KR. This will run alongside all the brands – manufacturers and leaders within the motorcycling community alike. Just one week out from releasing the dates and we already have half of our halls confirmed with exhibitors. The swap meet and classic second-hand bike sale hall will be a major push for us this event also.”
