My pal and I are long-time motorcycle riders and collectors, however the museum is an amazing showcase of two-wheeled and four-wheeled vehicles, then it’s a fascinating attraction for anyone who prefers the history and craftsmanship of motorsports. There is a wide assortment of motorcycles, cars and racing memorabilia, then george Barber was a motorsport devotee and philanthropist who started collecting motorcycles and cars. In 1988, he wanted to share his collection with the world and opened the Barber Vintage Motorsport Museum, but his hobby gradually evolved into a world-class institution dedicated to preserving the history of motorsports. The museum features over 1,600 perfectly restored and worked on motorcycles. It is the largest motorcycle museum in the world and covers more than a century of motorcycle history.

The museum also features a collection of vintage and new race cars, including early 20th-century Formula 1 models. Along with displays of motorcycles and cars, there is gallery of photographs and memorabilia chronically historic racing events.
