You're invited to bask in A-grade scooter buzz at the inaugural Australian Scooter Festival (ASF) on the Gold Coast!

To be held at the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre from 20-22 February 2009, the ASF will showcase the nation's most comprehensive range of scooter manufacturers and models under one roof, making it easier than ever for the first-time rider or devout enthusiast to compare features and cost.

The brands

Exhibiting local and international manufacturers include Honda, Suzuki, Aprilia, Vespa, Yamaha, Sachs, TGB, SCP, Benelli, Gilera, Piaggio, Hyosung, MotoVert and Bug, with more to be confirmed as the event grows closer.

The lineup includes entry-level 50cc to luxury 500 and 600cc scooters, and everything in between.

Mark Petersen of Exhibitions and Trade Fairs said the event was created to cater for a growing market of scooter enthusiasts and the range of quality manufacturers.

"We feel the Gold Coast is the perfect place to introduce the first-ever Australian Scooter Festival - it's a lifestyle that is actively embraced by tourists and locals alike," he says.

"The city is expanding at a rapid rate and more and more people are recognising the benefits associated with riding a scooter to work or on the weekend."

The event will also feature scooter test rides, demonstrations, a range of apparel and accessories displays and entry discounts for club members.

Ticket price

Tickets, which include entry to all three showcase events, start from $13, with the Family Pass (2 adults and 2 children) costing $44.
