Royal Enfield was front and centre with the largest stand at the show, providing support to this not-for-profit charity fundraising event held by Premier Events and the Papakura Rotary Club, where 100% of the show’s profits go back to the community including the National Burns Unit and Assisted Education Scholarships. From the new Classic & Meteor 350’s to the Himalayan and 650 Twins, all of the Royal Enfield models were on display for the public to view and experience. Front and centre at the Royal Enfield stand was the Royale Cars & Motorcycles “No. 55 GT 650 Production Racer” custom Continental GT 650 race bike.

“No. 55” was built by Royale Cars & Motorcycles in Hamilton for the recent Royal Enfield Australia & New Zealand Busted Knuckles Build-Off Competition and entered into the NZ Motorcycle’s bike comp in the “Competition Bike” category. Over 500 motorcycles from all brands entered into the competition side of the show for voting – from highly modified machines to stock standard classic bikes – and a large range of categories, prizes and trophies up for grabs, the awards are hotly contested.
