Review:
George Barber’s passion for speed spurred his idea for the Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum. He raced Porsches in the 1960s and held 63 first-place wins. Since the world’s best car collections had already been established, Barber listened to his old friend Dave Hooper — a motorcycle aficionado who ran Barber's delivery fleet for 27 years — who suggested that Barber focus on motorcycles.
Barber seized the opportunity to build the world’s largest and best motorcycle collection. With its unrivaled attention to detail, the museum is home to over 1,400 motorcycles covering over 100 years of production. On any given day, more than 650 bikes can be viewed, and examples from 20 countries are represented. Enthusiasts can see famous bikes ranging from Harley-Davidson, Indian, and Honda to Showa, Cagiva, and DSK.
