ASBK and ProMX to headline inaugural Warwick Bike Week 2025

By MA Media 0

The motorcycle racing spotlight will fall squarely on Warwick, Queensland and the multi-purpose Morgan Park motorsport precinct in June 2025 as it hosts the Australian Superbike and ProMX Championships over consecutive weekends as part of a wider celebration of motorcycle sports.

Thanks to support from the Southern Downs Regional Council, the mi-bike Motorcycle Insurance Australian Superbike Championship presented by Motul (ASBK) returns to Morgan Park Raceway for round four of its 2025 campaign from June 13-15, and then on Sunday, June 22 the ProMX Championship will make its first first-ever visit to the extensively upgraded Warwick MX Club-run Morgan Park motocross track.

The two Motorcycling Australia national championships will form the backbone of ‘Warwick Bike Week 2025’, which will also include a plethora of mid-week events such as:

  • A ride day at Morgan Park;

  • Motorcycling touring activities around the beautiful Southern Downs and Granite Belt region;

  • Rider and team activations in Warwick;

  • Rider education sessions and workshops;

  • Track walks and championship ambassador meets and greets; and

  • ‘Come and try’ activities.

For the ASBK paddock, Morgan Park Raceway has become a mainstay on the calendar. The tight and twisty nature of the 12-turn, 2.96km layout means that race winners rarely prevail without some serious heat – this year’s race two in the premier Superbike class a prime example as Mike Jones (Yamaha) just outlasted Ducati’s fast-finishing Broc Pearson in a cliff-hanger.

The Pirelli Superbike, Michelin Supersport, Race and Road Supersport 300 and bLU cRU Oceania Junior Cup classes will compete at round four of the ASBK Championship before the focus switches to the picturesque motocross track as ProMX makes its Warwick debut. The ProMX round will be round five of the 2025 championship.

For those keen to mix Warwick Bike Week 2025 with additional pleasure, the region is bursting with activities and attractions, including Queensland’s only cold-climate wine region, museums, the Southern Downs Railway ‘Downs Explorer’, and adventure-based pursuits such as boating, fishing, mountain biking, four-wheel driving, camping and walking/hiking trails.

Easily accessible highways and meandering country backroads ensure that travel to Morgan Park, whether by car or motorcycle, will be one of the best parts of your visit to the region.

Southern Downs Regional Council Mayor, Melissa Hamilton
“We are thrilled to welcome the Australian Superbike Championship back to Morgan Park, and this year we’re revving up the action by including the ProMX Championship.

“Warwick Bike Week 2025 highlights our commitment to hosting world-class sporting events, and attracting thousands of racing fans to the Southern Downs for this spectacular showcase. Events like this energise our local economy and create fantastic opportunities for businesses and future tourism.

“Warwick is the Horsepower Capital of Australia and Southern Downs is the best location for premier motorsport and equestrian events.

“I encourage everyone to be trackside and experience the thrill of the racing action in the stunning Australian bushland setting of Morgan Park.”

Motorcycling Australia CEO, Peter Doyle
“When the 2024 ASBK Championship round was held at Morgan Park in July, improvements to the adjoining motocross facility were going ahead at full steam.

“I’m delighted that we can now add Warwick to the ProMX roster in 2025, and the inauguration of Warwick Bike Week is a wonderful opportunity to not only highlight our motorcycle racing community but also a chance to soak up some wonderful motorcycle roads, meet some racing icons, enhance your motorcycle knowledge or simply enjoy all that the region has to offer.

“It’s going to be a fantastic week of competition, fun and festivities.”
