The Art of Racing – Special Exhibition 2017

Adrenaline-filled air, revving engines, eyes fixed on the starting signal. The world outside no longer exists. It's just you, your motorcycle, and the road ahead.
Your gaze sinks into them like into a tunnel...

Shortly after the great motorcycle adventure began, daring contemporaries stripped their machines of all unnecessary ballast in order to compete with others in tough races:

Beim wagemutigen Hillclimb oder auf der Suche nach dem ultimativen Speedkick an den Stränden Daytonas riskierten sie ihr Leben, um höher hinaus oder schneller ins Ziel zu kommen als ihre Gegner.

Whether it's board, flat, or dirt track racing, sprint or dragster racing, riding with the devil in cafe racing in 1950s London, or setting high-speed records on the Bonneville Salt Flats, fearless men and women have always sought to push the limits of their machines—and themselves.

The fascination with racing remains unbroken to this day in all its facets and is manifested in the machines that will be presented in a separate hall at this year's CUSTOMBIKE SHOW special exhibition.

Epochal racing machines and radical custom bikes that embody the spirit of competition immerse visitors in the world of people and riders such as Burt Munro, Ernst Henne, and Scott Parker.

This is more than motorsport, it is: The Art of Racing
