Race ace Easton at Scots bike show 08 | 03 | 2011
HAWICK RIDER and winner of the 2010 Macau Grand Prix, Stuart Easton, will be a star guest at the annual Scottish Motorcycle Show being held at the Royal Highland Centre, Ingliston near Edinburgh this Saturday and Sunday.
"It's going to be terrific to be at the show which, I know, is always a major event on the calendar for Scottish motorbike enthusiasts," Kawasaki racer Easton (pictured), who will attend the show on Saturday, explained. "We've the new Ninja ZX-10R Supersport at the show, so I know there will be a lot of people coming to have a look at that.
"But what I always enjoy at the show is being able to stop and chat with all the fans who support me right through the year. It's my chance to give something back to them and it's always a whole load of fun."
The Scottish Motorcycle Show traditionally marks the start of the biking season in Scotland, and allows riders to experience an impressive line up of the latest motorcycles and biggest personalities.
With blistering performance and a raft of high technology — including advanced traction control, three way power mode settings and optional ABS braking — the new Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R Supersport is likely to attract a lot of attention.
"For the committed Supersport fans the Ninja will be the highlight," Craig Watson, Kawasaki sales manager for Scotland, said, "but there's also the new Z1000SX which has really captured the imagination as a Sport Tourer.
"Likewise, the Z750R is a real urban hero and will be of great interest to those who favour un-faired or so called 'streetfighter' bikes. Another highlight is bound to be the new retro styled W800 that has a real authentic 1960's look and feel
mixed with modern technology".
The Carole Nash MCN Scottish Motorcycle Show takes place this Saturday and Sunday, March 12/13 at the Royal Highland Centre, Ingliston. The show is open from 9am to 5pm each day. For more information visit www.scottishmotorcycleshow.com
