This year the Museum had a total of seven bikes on display for the public to enjoy:

• 1951 Velocette 'Twin-Shaft' factory 350cc Grand Prix road racer. One of only 3 in the world, this stunning bike has been totally restored by New Zealander Rod Coleman. Features of this bike include: Bevel-driven twin overhead camshafts, 5 speed close-ratio transmission, custom 10,000rpm Smiths tachometer, Amal TT remote-needle racing carburetor, 7 gallon alloy TT gas tank, a very unique 'full-floating' rear brake linkage, plus magnesium; wheel hubs, engine cases, controls and more.
• 1960 AJS/Norton Café Racer Special-this perfect running, totally handcrafted bike was built by noted British bike specialist Ron Peter. Utilizing an AJS 18CS 500cc single engine in a Norton Featherbed frame with lot's of custom components.
• 1971 Honda Mini-Trail 50-this '100 point' restored by Ron Stuppart mini-bike is a multi award concours winner. It was a real hit with the kids!
• 1977 Harley-Davidson XLCR 1000 Café' racer-one of the rare, highly sought-after models that were only produced for two years as a styling exercise by Willy G. Davidson.
• 1980 Bimota SB3-one of the earliest Bimota 'kits' using a Suzuki GS1000 engine and accessories in the Italian specialists chassis kit. (This chassis was based on their 500cc Grand Prix bike) The frame is assembled around the engine using aircraft style 'conical' joints. It also features a perimeter swingarm that pivots exactly along the transmission sprocket axis, eliminating the need for chain slack and the geometry changes that go along with it.
