NZ's new Supermoto Series. Round 1

Supermoto has been crying out for it's own series and on Sunday the 2nd of May that's what it got when Taupo's Nigel Bevin and his helpful crew got round 1 off the ground.

Bike Mart Supermoto winner Stephen Briggs, did it again, taking home the points lead for the day. He was followed home (and on occassion passed) by Dannivirke's Brendon Stephenson.

Stephenson commented on how fantastic the all new off road section was. "It was sensational, the berms were fast even on my heavy thing and the jumps were great even for the inexperienced" Stephenson went on to say "The turn out was a little disappointing (about 30 odd) but I guess some people were put off by the weather on Saturday. It didn't rain on race day and it really is an all weather circuit, so once people get wind of how good it is I'm sure we'll see the numbers grow."

Affordable?

The series has an unbelievable deal going on leathers and tyres for those looking at contesting a minimum of 2 rounds.

Series boss Nigel Bevin also tells us that the event is run under the New Zealand dirt bike federation so there is no need for a MNZ competition licence.

The next round is on Saturday 12th of June.
