Daryl Beattie will join fellow premier class motorbike grand prix winners Chris Vermeulen and Kevin Magee at the 2024 Repco Adelaide Motorsport Festival, riding a Honda CB1100R at the event on Saturday 16 March.
Beattie raced in the grand prix motorcycle world championship (now known as MotoGP) between 1992 and 1997, winning three 500cc grand prix races and finishing runner-up in the championship in 1995.
The Honda CB1100R was produced in limited numbers from 1980 to 1983; a four-stroke 1000cc road-legal sports bike. It was Honda's first homologation special, racing in production class events across Europe, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. Â
