Barber Motorsports Park

Barber Motorsports Park in Leeds, Alabama, east of Birmingham, combines one of the world's most significant motorcycle museums with an active FIA-certified road racing circuit that hosts professional motorsport events throughout the year. The Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum houses more than 1,400 motorcycles — the largest collection of operational motorcycles on the planet according to the Guinness World Records — displayed across five floors of a striking curved glass and steel building in arrangements that treat the machines as art objects as much as vehicles. The collection spans over 120 years of motorcycle manufacturing from virtually every country that produced motorcycles commercially, including rare prewar European machines, factory race bikes, early American classics, and modern MotoGP prototypes. Several hundred machines are suspended at different heights on transparent mounts throughout the building, creating the impression of bikes in motion at every level. Alongside the motorcycle collection, approximately 260 racing cars are displayed, including Formula 1 machinery, Indy cars, Can-Am sports cars, and historic road racers from multiple eras. The surrounding Barber Motorsports Park road course is a 2.38-mile circuit with 17 turns winding through a park landscape planted with over 1,000 trees. Professional events on the circuit include the Honda Indy Grand Prix of Alabama (IndyCar) held in late April and MotoAmerica Superbike series rounds. On non-event days the paddock and pit lane are often active with club races, driver schools, and track days. Museum admission is priced separately from race event tickets. Most visitors spend two to four hours in the museum alone.
