We’re counting down the days until the green flag drops on the 20th annual Barber Vintage Festival. Legendary tuner Eraldo Ferracci will serve as grand marshal for the October 3-5 event. Expect lots of unique experiences, highlighted by BMW Motorrad Days Americas, Isle of Triumph, demo rides, and the always popular swap meet.
Friday evening’s exclusive “Motorcycles by Moonlight” charity fundraiser, with its wine tastings, five-course meal, and live auction in the museum’s “Grand Atrium,” is expected to sell out. All funds raised are earmarked for the Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum’s education programs led by Dr. Liz Johnson.
Speaking of the museum, home to the world`s largest motorcycle collection, many special events are scheduled throughout the weekend, including engine fire-ups and behind-the-scenes tours of the restoration shop. Daily seminars will feature guest speakers providing historical insights and in-depth tech talks.

Did someone say, “Two-stroke Tuesday”? In this photo, 2024 Barber Vintage Festival Grand Marshal “King” Kenny Roberts accelerates out of a corner on the 17-turn, 2.38-mile Barber Motorsports Park road course aboard his 1980 Yamaha 0W48.
Part of the museum’s permanent collection, the aluminum-framed inline-four was one of two factory machines that Roberts raced to his third consecutive premier-class world title. The other bike was the 0W48R, which reversed the outer cylinders.
This year, legendary tuner (and an excellent racer in his own right) Eraldo Ferracci will be the grand marshal for the 20th annual Barber Vintage Festival, October 3-5. Remember, children 15 years of age and under get in free with a ticketed adult.

Not many folks have the great good fortune of living 100 years. Of that fragment of the population, even fewer have created a legacy equivalent to that of John Penton, who celebrated his centenary on the 19th of this month.
As a reminder of Penton’s history-making contributions, the museum encourages visitors to swing by the off-road exhibit on the third floor to experience up close one of Penton’s KTM-produced two-wheel masterpieces.
This beautiful 1968 Penton Six Day 125 will soon be joined by one of the museum’s most recent acquisitions, a perfectly preserved, zero-mile 1997 KTM 200 Jackpiner—a modern, liquid-cooled version of Penton’s ’72 175 Jackpiner.
