Fans can savour the sights and sounds of their favourite motorcycles at the Sydney Showground, before heading out to Eastern Creek to witness the nation's top riders going toe-to-toe at close to 250km/h.

With over 180 entrants across multiple classes confirmed, the final round of the championship will be the biggest yet, and the crowning of this year's Superbike champion will certainly be a monumental occasion.

Organisers from the YMF Loan Australian Superbike Championship and Sydney Motorcycle Show have teamed up for 2006, bringing fans a number of fantastic initiatives to ensure they can enjoy both events.

On Friday November 17 at 6.30pm, a lineup of Australia's top motorcycle riders will appear on the Main Stage, with fans able to get up close to their track heroes.

Headlining this exclusive appearance are riders from the top factory teams, including: The Stauffer Brothers, Jason O'Halloran, Mark Aitchison, Shawn Giles, Robbie Bugden, Adam Fergusson, Glenn Allerton, Russell Holland, Bryan Staring, Shannon Johnson and Josh Waters.

Also available are a limited number of YMF Loan Australian Superbike Championship discount admission passes, making entry into the premier series even more affordable than it currently is!

Terry O'Neill, YMF Loan Australian Superbike Championship Event Director, said he was pleased to be able to offer show and race attendees the chance to benefit from both events, and expected a massive response.

"This is without a doubt the biggest motorcycling weekend for New South Wales in 2006, we have worked hand in hand with Sydney Motorcycle Show organisers to ensure fans can experience all aspects of their passion for motorcycles, from the showroom right through to the race-bred and engineered versions on the track," said O'Neill.

"There is always the opportunity for fans to meet with their heroes at the track, but the Sydney Motorcycle Show presents them with a really good opportunity to get an autograph and have a chat while the riders relax after a frenetic day out at Eastern Creek for the practice sessions."

"The discount ticket offer makes attending both events even more enticing, this will be a weekend to remember!"
