From the dirt tracks of motocross to the asphalt battlegrounds of international road racing, Billee Fuller has carved her path through motorsport with grit, speed, and an unshakeable determination that’s putting New Zealand women’s racing on the world map.

EARLY YEARS

Born on September 20, 2003, in Hamilton, New Zealand, Billee Fuller grew up in Taupiri as part of a proper motorcycling family—the kind where two wheels aren’t a hobby, they’re a lifestyle. With older brother Zak already tearing up tracks, racing wasn’t something she stumbled into; it was woven into the fabric of her childhood. She started as an accomplished motocross rider, getting comfortable with speed and dirt long before she ever considered the smooth, high-speed world of asphalt racing.

But motocross was just the beginning. The heady, high-adrenaline world of road racing eventually called, and Fuller answered. At 18, she made the switch from off-road to circuit racing, drawn by the allure of faster bikes, greater horsepower, and the technical precision required to navigate corners at breakneck speeds. It was a bold move, but Fuller wasn’t one to play it safe.

OTHER INTERESTS

While racing dominates Fuller’s life, her roots in motocross speak to a broader love for motorcycles in all their forms. Coming from a family steeped in the sport means she’s been around engines, tracks, and racing culture her entire life—it’s not just what she does, it’s who she is.

EARLY SUCCESS

Fuller wasted no time making an impact once she transitioned to road racing. In the pandemic-shortened 2021 season, she clinched the GIXXER 150 class title—a statement victory that announced her arrival on the scene. She piloted the same Suzuki GSX-150F that had launched her brother Zak’s racing career two years earlier, proving that talent runs deep in the Fuller family.

Her success didn’t stop there. Fuller went on to dominate multiple national championships, including the Carl Cox Motorsport Ninja Cup and the WIL Sport Women’s Cup. By 2024, she’d racked up championship wins and was consistently finishing on podiums in New Zealand’s highly competitive racing series. She also competed in the ProTwins category, where she finished as runner-up, further demonstrating her versatility and speed across different bike classes.

Her performances caught the attention of Carl Cox Motorsport, the team that had been instrumental in developing emerging Kiwi talent. Fuller’s rise through their Cup program earned her backing and, eventually, a ticket to the world stage.

NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENTS

INSPIRATIONS

Fuller has been vocal about her admiration for fellow Kiwi racer Avalon Biddle (now Avalon Lewis), a champion on the international stage. “Champion Kiwi international Avalon Biddle is an inspiration and I hope I can be as good as her one day,” Fuller said early in her career. The two stayed in touch, with Lewis offering guidance and encouragement as Fuller navigated her own ascent through the ranks. In 2025, they became teammates at Carl Cox Motorsport for the WorldWCR season—a full-circle moment that highlighted New Zealand’s growing presence in women’s motorcycle racing.

REPUTATION

Those who’ve worked with Fuller consistently praise her untapped talent and humble personality. She’s not afraid to use her natural ability, but she does so with grace and without ego—a rare combination in any competitive sport. Her approachability and genuine enthusiasm for racing have made her a role model for young women considering the sport.

“I’d advise other young women to give this a go. It’s so much fun,” Fuller has said. “Everyone involved in road-racing is so lovely and very supportive.” That warmth and encouragement have helped her become not just a competitor, but an ambassador for women’s participation in motorsport. She’s motivated others simply by showing up, racing hard, and refusing to be anything other than herself.

FUTURE GOALS/PLANS

Fuller’s 2025 season in WorldWCR represented a major leap forward, racing on legendary European circuits against the best female riders in the world. Though she withdrew from the final two rounds at Jerez, her rookie campaign provided invaluable experience and exposure at the highest level of women’s motorcycle racing.

Looking ahead, Fuller has expressed ambitions to continue developing her skills on larger displacement bikes, with long-term goals of competing at the top tier of women’s racing. Her short-term focus has always been clear: improve, stay consistent, and keep pushing the limits. With her talent, work ethic, and the backing of a strong team, there’s little doubt she’ll continue climbing the ladder.
