Dear Speedshow fans,
The coming
2009 Speedshow
will
this year feature

cars of all types, a
live action arena,
trade sites,
accessories,
merchandise and much
more.
Motorcycle
manufacturers will
be represented in
the motorcycle hall
and will take the
opportunity to
showcase their
wares, with
several
new 2010 models
scheduled to be
revealed.
Motorcycle
collections
A unique collection
of historic and race
bikes will be on
display. Amongst
those confirmed for
display are the
World
500cc Grand Prix
BSL500

engineer and
speedway enthusiast

Britten,
Ivan
Mauger's
World
Championship winning
track bike, a
Konig
GP bike

the movie replica of

Kiwi ingenuity will
also be on show,
especially in the
form of the
Synergy
V8
speedway engine,
which captured the
2008 Australian
midget title. The
Synergy V8 uses two
Kawasaki ZX-12R
cylinder heads, and
can make between 390

tune and fuel.

years, historic and

be the biggest
drawcards. There
