BMW Motorrad Days Barber Vintage Festival

After a successful inaugural BMW Motorrad Days Americas last year, the event will return to Alabama for the 2024 Barber Vintage Festival on October 11-13.

The 2023 event, also held during Barber Vintage Festival, celebrated the 100th anniversary of BMW Motorrad. BMW motorcycle enthusiasts from across the country traveled to Barber Motorsports Park to enjoy the festivities, demo ride BMW motorcycles, and connect with other BMW riders.

“Last year’s celebration of the BMW Motorrad Days Americas at the Barber Vintage Festival was so much fun, there is no way we could not be back,” said Luciana Francisco, head of marketing and product for BMW Motorrad USA. “There is no better community than the global motorcycling community, and we could not ask for a better host than the Barber Vintage Festival. Seeing so many people, from so many different backgrounds, together, celebrating our passion for riding, is truly a special experience.”

The BMW Motorrad Days Americas will include the BMW Motorrad Fan Zone with new and vintage motorcycles, a kid zone, live music, a biergarten, and a great view of vintage racing on the Barber circuit. There will also be on- and off-road demo rides of the newest BMW models, like the R 1300 GS, F 900 GS, R 12, and CE 02.

“I couldn’t be more thrilled to announce the return of BMW Motorrad Days to the Barber Vintage Festival, said George Dennis, President of ZOOM Motorsports. “It’s a celebration of passion, performance, and the vibrant community that fuels our love for two-wheel adventures.”

Tickets for the Barber Vintage Festival will go on sale on May 21, and those who purchase event passes through BMW Motorad USA will access ticket discounts.

We never have a bad time at the Barber Motorsports Park, and that especially holds true for the Barber Small Bore event. The event is full of riders zipping around on small bikes, competing in races and competitions, and having plenty of fun. This year, the Barber Small Bore, presented by MNNTHBX, will run June 9-11 for its fourth iteration.

Racing includes drag races on a dual-lane 168-foot strip, the two-hour Minibike Endurance GP held in partnership with Sportbike Track Time, and pitbike races. Each race event has dedicated track time before the race to give you the chance to sharpen your skills.

A returning fan favorite race is the Creek Bottom Classic, in which streetbikes with displacements of 200cc or less compete on an off-road trail. All riders and bikes that fit the requirements are welcome. There will also be a minibike hill climb and an amateur stunt competition with a $1,000 cash prize. A stunt lot will be available throughout the weekend to practice your stunts before the competition.

A party in the South wouldn’t be complete without good BBQ. On Saturday night, there will be a whole-hog pig roast, beer, and a custom minibike show. At the end of each day, there will be parade laps on the famous 2.38-mile Barber Motorsports Racetrack.

Eight miles of trails for off-road riding will be available, top vendors will be selling their wares, and some riders will be enjoying recommended off-site rides.

A weekend pass is $50, and one-day tickets are $30. For those wanting a quiet retreat from all the activity, $120 gets you a weekend pass along with access to the Paddock Club with a private balcony, an air-conditioned lounge, and catered meals. Tent camping is $40 for the weekend, and RV camping is $100. Some events have an entrance fee, but most are included with admission.
