Biker's Classic is the kind of event with an irresistible appeal for those who truly love the history, engineering, and legend of the old GP queens. What could be more enticing than blending, in a single weekend, some of the most iconic bikes ever seen (and heard...) with the magical atmosphere of a place as evocative for motorsport as Spa-Francorchamps? If you haven’t planned anything for August 16–17 yet, this is a destination you definitely shouldn’t miss.

What will be in the paddock?

This year, the showcase on the Belgian rollercoaster offers a real delicacy. In the paddock, in the garages, and even on the ultra-fast sweepers of a legendary track, you’ll be able to admire some of the most fascinating racing motorcycles. In detail:

Honda RC30 and RC45: when Superbike was legend
Ducati 916, 996 SPS, and 998R: Italian perfection at full throttle
Kawasaki ZX7RR: another piece of World Superbike history
Suter MMX 500: a modern 2-stroke with technology and a sound to die for
Honda CBX six-cylinder: an unmistakable icon of the Seventies
Ex Moto2: modern race bikes with GP DNA
Laverda, Gilera, Norton Commando, BSA: British and Italian engineering at its best
Honda RC174 the only working GP legend on this side of the ocean

The riders who made history

Of course, it’s not just the bikes—there will also be so many riders who have written indelible pages in the history of the World Championship since its first edition in 1949. Spending two days at Biker's Classic will feel like taking a ride in a time machine, landing straight in the roaring years of this sport.

Who doesn’t love racing sidecars?

For decades, sidecars were an integral part of the program at the most prestigious World Championship GPs, enjoying enormous popularity, especially in Northern Europe. Spa-Francorchamps, in the Ardennes, and an event like Biker's Classic could hardly resist the noisy charm of historic three-wheel racing machines. The ultra-fast track will host a true race between these spectacular machines. Over the two days, you can also test more than a hundred road models completely free of charge.
