All the race teams and big name riders feature in the game and with 22 bikes on screen, this is your chance to go head to head with your biking heroes to win one of the most exciting bike racing championships ever.
BikeFest UK will be a phenomenal mix of track action and full-on British Superbike testing sessions from Rizla Suzuki. There'll also be the chance to ride a host of manufacturers' new bikes on the track and on the road. It's not all road-bike action either. You can ride a new Aprilia or Suzuki on the off-road course,
have a go at mini-moto, ride a trials bike, watch the Vertical Brits' amazing stunt display, see riders defy gravity in the 'Globe of Death', and get your bike dyno'd - for free. There's even a massive retail zone full of all the latest kit and tuning parts, so you can grab a bargain on the day.
"The 'have a go' theme of BikefestUK represents the perfect location to give people a chance feel the sensations of riding a real Superbike in our video game" commented Jon Bailey, Head of Marketing at Koch Media.
