Record numbers of local, interstate and international vintage motocross riders and enthusiasts attended Suzuki VMX Classic Dirt 6 over the Queen‰Ûªs Birthday weekend, transforming Queensland‰Ûªs Green Park MX complex into a celebration of the sport‰Ûªs golden years.
The size of the crowd at the 6-8 June event, held at the Sunshine Coast Motorcycle Club‰Ûªs superb, natural terrain track, underlined the view held by many regular historic motocross event attendees - Suzuki Classic Dirt is Australia‰Ûªs 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.
‰ÛÏSince 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‰Ûªve had in years,‰Û
