The 2021 MotoGP season is underway with the first two races in Qatar at the Losail International Circuit. The first race in the top two categories threw up mixed results for Australian riders.
Maverick Vinales took the first checkered flag for the year in MotoGP on his Yamaha while Aussie Jack Miller could only manage 9th on his Ducati despite impressive times in pre-season practice sessions. Things went much better for Australian riders in the Moto2 category with Remy Gardner, son of Aussie legend Wayne Gardner, taking 2nd in the first race of his season on his KTM. Round 2 is being held at the same circuit, with reports that riders are expecting a faster performance from their rivals.
For those not content to just watch, but want to experience the thrill and excitement of owning a motorbike themselves, we provide a run down on some of the models available in Australia from manufacturers of the leading riders – Yamaha and Ducati. Plus, details on the cheap loans we have available to make that purchase a reality.
Consider a Yamaha Production Track Model
Yamaha is long-term favourite motorcycle brand with Australian riders and the current selection of road bikes covers all types of riders. For those that want more of a racing feel, the Super Sport range could be just the exiting ride you’re seeking. We draw to your attention the Yamaha YZF-R1M. According to Yamaha, this is their most advanced production track bike that they’ve ever released.
Dynamic in appearance and style and powered with a 998cc, inline 4 cylinder engine. The design was refined with the recent model updates with claims the new aerodynamic styling delivers 5.3% efficiency increase as well as reducing the wind noise as well as rider pressure when in the tuck position. Especially note the state-of-the-art racing suspension and then check out the affordability.

Ride like Jack on a Ducati
Australia’s motorcycle fraternity will no doubt all be behind Jack Miller and hoping he can replicate his pre-season times on the track and post multiple podiums in 2021. He is signed for 2021 2022 to ride for the Ducati factory team and is on a Desmosedici model.
If you’d also like to be riding a Ducati, then April 2021 is great timing. It is the designated month for the new Ducati Monster to commence being available through the company’s dealerships. Described by the company as a lightweight, sport naked bike with an engine that is both powerful presumably for the track but also suited to road use.
This has the 937cc L-twin Testastretta engine, a new gearbox and a redesigned sub-frame among many other components. Riders can select from the 3 riding models – sport, urban or touring, and tech and connectivity is well catered for. Read more here.
