Anthony Gobert, the late Australian motorcycle road racers, Bimota race bike up for auction at the MCN London Bike Show with Iconic Auctioneers, 16th February 2025.Affectionately known as “Go Show” by his fans, the late Anthony Gobert was immensely gifted as a rider but his ‘rock n roll’ lifestyle eventually took its toll and he passed away at the age of 48 last year.
The Australian was signed up as a teenager by Honda for the WSB Championship in 1994. Kawasaki followed Honda and he won his first race for them at the 1994 Australian GP. Various other teams including Suzuki followed as did spells in the World GP series.
Gobert’s party lifestyle overshadowed his track exploits but in 2000 whilst riding for Bimota he pulled off an amazing win in the wet at Phillip Island for the Australian World Superbike round, finishing 30 seconds ahead of Carl Fogarty. This became his last ever WSB race win and it is this very bike that is now up for auction.
