Welcome to the exciting world of Motorcycle Gymkhana!
We are a Taupo based group of motorcycle enthusiasts running non profit gymkhana events catering for learners and beginners through to riders with many years of experience and national level racers.
Gymkhana is not a high speed event. Speeds are unlikely to exceed 30km/h! It focuses on the use of the most basic motorcycle handling skills, skills a lot of us take for granted. There will be different classes based on bike type. Each person's run will be timed with the goal to improve on one's own time. There will be a more serious competition for the top class.
These events serve several purposes including:
- Increasing awareness of rider's bike handling skills
- Improving bike handling skills
- Increasing awareness of situations
- Improving riders' ability to "think and ride" at the same time
- Providing riders with real-world skills to help maximise their safety on the road
- Improving the public's perception of motorcycling
- Having fun!
