About Australian Performance Motocycles

I’m Paul Drane, the owner and lead mechanic here at Australian Performance Motorcycles, and I’ve spent over 25 years honing my skills in mechanical and engine reconditioning. Early in my career, I had the incredible opportunity to work with three of Australia’s top factory superbike teams — Yamaha, Kawasaki, and Ducati.

It was during this time that I developed a deep understanding of high-performance motorcycles. Since then, I’ve expanded my expertise by working in various areas of mechanics, which has only helped me grow as a technician. My passion for motorcycles and motorcycle racing remains as strong as ever, and I still race and attend events to stay connected with the industry.

At Australian Performance Motorcycles, I offer everything from basic bike maintenance and repairs to performance tuning, custom builds, and even specialised motorcycle transportation solutions.

No matter the service, I put my full experience and dedication into ensuring that every bike I work on gets the attention it deserves.
