Racers, riders and celebrities will share the spotlight with the latest bikes at the Sydney Motorcycle & Scooter Show which opens this Friday at the Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre.

Newly-crowned double Australian Superbike Champion Glenn Allerton will visit the show over the weekend, appearing on the BMW exhibit with the Procon Maxima S 1000 RR that he dominated on throughout the season.

Allerton will visit the exhibit at 11.30am and 2.30pm on Saturday and Sunday.
