Suzuki Classic Dirt 6
... transforming Queensland's Green Park MX complex into a celebration of the sport's golden years.
The size of the crowd underlined the view held by many regular historic moto-cross event attendees - Suzuki Classic Dirt is Australia's premier vintage dirt bike event. The event involves inviting past and present motocross and dirt bike riders, including a number of former champions, to a weekend of non-competitive vintage motocross riding.
Perry Morison, General Manager Motorcycles, Suzuki Australia, said that he was thrilled by the number of riders and the positive feedback received by Suzuki and event organisers.
"Since its inception in 2000, Suzuki has seen the merit in supporting these former MX riders; by providing the opportunity to get back into motocross in a non-competitive environment, these riders have the most fun they've had in years," he said.
Catering for pre-1985 machinery, the event also gave riders the chance to test ride a full range of Suzuki's latest 2-stroke and 4-stroke motocross models.
"Suzuki has proudly sponsored every Classic Dirt event," he said.
"Each year we add further support by inviting former Suzuki champions to attend as our special VIP guests.
