I took these a few weekends back while @ Barber Raceway for the AMA superbike races. Most of these pics were taken inside the Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum on site - which is 5 stories tall and is about 98% motorcycles from every origin.

This place is like a hotwheels storage case filled with nothing but stuff I'd like to own. Many bikes look factory fresh - and many actually are. they have stuff there you wouldn't expect to see ina museum - like a factory-new 2005 CBR 600RR - since it was the first year of the new plastics - they have one there.

The bottom floor of the complex is a full restoration facility for anything they feel like working on, and is only open during race weekends. There's a fully stocked HAAS CNC machine shop there, so anything that can't be bought, can be recreated. Some of the bikes get rotated off of static display and put into a rotation where they get a few laps around the complex's access roads to keep them functional.

Here's the link to my Flickr set where you can flip thru the pics (sorry all I had was my Droid to take pics with): Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum

But there was this was one, absolute wish-I-could-take-it-home-with-me bike - it was built on a '78 Honda CBX which conveniently there was a stock CBX on display - in case you aren't familiar with the inline 6-cyl CBX:


And this their other CBX that I was told "Chuck" (one of the restoration guys) had built out of random parts in his spare time:

 

Wow, that's some classy good-ness!

wow,i guess you can do whatever you want dream up as long as you have a drive to achieve it.

 

That is a very nice museum w/ some very talented & decated workers.

Thanks for posting up the pics.

 

oh man, when I was first looking at bikes I found an old cbx that I really wanted... Now i kow for sure I should have grabed it..
