The Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum is a unique facility, offering motorsport enthusiasts an opportunity to view an extraordinary collection of motorcycles and cars.

It is a beautifully designed architectural wonder. Guests from all over the world are amazed when they enter the museum by its sheer size and splendor. Visiting the museum is truly an experience that can be enjoyed by all.

The museum presently houses a collection of over 1100 motorcycles spanning over 100 years of production. There are over 700 bikes on display at any given time. Guests can see a variety of unique cycles representing domestic and international manufacturers. Exhibits include common street bikes as well as rare, “one off” factory-built racing motorcycles. Our collection showcases cycles manufactured by familiar companies such as Harley-Davidson, Honda, and Indian as well as bikes made by less familiar manufacturers like Showa, DSK, and Cagiva.

In addition to motorcycles, the Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum has on display a collection of rare, unique sport cars. The world’s most extensive collection of Lotus racecars resides here.
