BMW Motorrad makes first appearance at Dirt Bike Show
Wednesday, October 25, 2006 - BMW Press Release


Preparations are well underway for next month's Dirt Bike Show at Stoneleigh Park in Warwickshire from 16-19 November. It is the UK's biggest off-road motorcycle show and for the first time in the event's six-year history, BMW Motorrad will be making an appearance as one of the main exhibitors.

Having just released details of the new 650cc single-cylinder G Series range - which includes the Xchallenge enduro, Xmoto supermoto and Xcountry adventure sports bikes - BMW Motorrad will be offering visitors a chance to see these machines in the metal, along with the powerful HP2 Enduro and much more besides.

If this isn't enough to whet the appetite, other highlights on the stand will include the BMW all-purpose Globetrotting machine that currently leads the sales charts by some distance in the Adventure Sport category - the MCN Award winning R 1200 GS Adventure. The BMW F650 GS Dakar single-cylinder machine will also be on display at Stoneleigh Park.

Off-road aficionados will be well aware of Long Way Round's Charley Boorman and BMW Off-Road Skills Chief Instructor Simon Pavey's efforts in this year's Dakar Rally. Their adventure has been turned into the Race To Dakar book and television series, which is currently being shown weekly on Sky. Charley's modified Touratech F 650 GS Dakar race bike will be exhibited on the BMW stand.

BMW's dedicated range of off-road clothing will also be on show for visitors, including the new Enduro helmet, Protector Jacket, Enduro Shirt and Enduro Goggles. Another highlight for visitors is the release of the new 2007 World of BMW activity brochure, which includes details and dates for all of BMW's Off-Road Skills courses, BMW Rider Training, and World of BMW tours all over the world. A free copy of the activity brochure can be collected from the BMW stand.

The 2006 Dirt Bike Show will take place at Stoneleigh Park from Thursday 16 to Sunday 19 November. Tickets cost £13.50 on the door (£7.50 for children aged 7-16) but you can save £1.50 (and jump the queues) by booking online or by phone. All advance tickets are available by visiting www.dirtbikeshow.co.uk or alternatively customers can call the ticket hotline on 0870 010 9019.
