The best 100 motorcycles of the 1960s, ’70s, and ’80s, whether you agree with the list or not, will be under one roof in the Greater Philadelphia indoor multi-line motorcycle dealership, Martin Motorsports, on Saturda,y March 12, 2011, from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.

The Modern Classics Bike Show is about celebrating the motorcycles of the ’60s, ’70s, and ’80s that made big contributions to their respective eras with their technology, style, performance, or setting new trends.

These are the retro motorcycles that made headlines. The bikes that made a difference. The bikes that you read about in magazines. The bikes you remember from the first time you saw it on a showroom floor or at the stoplight next to you. And this motorcycle show aims to showcase the models in the best possible condition.

In order to create a list of bikes that could dare deliver on such a preamble, Martin Motorsports assembled a motorcycle show committee of six serious enthusiasts who are collectors themselves, compiled a list of the most iconic bikes of these decades, and then went about bike hunting.

This show originated with the idea of creating a unique experience for collectors and enthusiasts of all ages to admire machinery that tells the story of the rapid evolution in technology, style, and performance of motorcycles over a span of three decades.

The motorcycle show takes place indoors in a well-established and beautiful showroom that, for one day, will transform into a showcase of classic machinery. On Saturday, March 12, Martin Motorsports is not open for sales or test rides.

The showroom will transform into a museum for a day to showcase this classic machinery, using all 13,000 square feet of space, including the giant movie screen on the mezzanine to show motorcycle and racing movies and possibly live coverage of the Daytona 200.

This show is an invitational. Each bike is selected for the show by invitation only through a nomination process. The bikes are not judged by a panel, but there will be a People’s Choice Award for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place. As with most events at Martin Motorsports, this show is for families.

Tickets are available online for only $3 now or at the door for $5. Children 12 and under get in free.
