We believe that motorcycle is a major piece of technical art of our civilization. We also believe that this “metal art on canvas” had it’s own Golden era, which held its part between 1930 and 1945. Among many reasons, the main one is a thrilling race in technologies that happened just before World War II. The collection presented to your attention is a product of love of millions of people, multiplied by analysis and mathematics. We present you rebuilt motorcycles in “ready to run” condition with displacement over 750 cubic centimeters from all continents. According to the set criteria, we have the most complete collection (or even the only one!) in the world, where a resident of Austria, Belgium, Great Britain, Germany, Denmark, Italy, Poland, the USSR, USA, France, Czech Republic, Switzerland, Sweden and Japan can personally see with trepidation the handiwork of his great-grandfathers.

We visited this on our first trip to Samara in Feb 2019. The tour was only available in Russian, but thankfully my wife was able to provide additional translation where I didn't understand. The tour guide is extremely knowledgeable and is more than happy to share more than just the standard tour speech. It is a very cool place to get an insight into how important Kuybyshev (now Samara) was to the Soviets during the war and to understand why Stalin decided to have the bunker built here. The fact that none of the surrounding embassies/consulates were aware of the structure is quite incredible. Highly recommend this attraction.
