We made a trip to the Barber Motorsports Museum in Alabama a few years ago. This place should be on everyone's must see list. The grounds and track are lovely and the museum is just spectacular. Motorcycles of every description beautifully displayed along with some fine vintage race cars. Plan on spending some time when you go as there is much to see.

Bit off topic, I can't see a single CB1100.

Just kidding, thanks for saving me several thousands of pounds and two weeks off work to take such lovely pictures myself.

I have been there many times and always go to the Barber Vintage Days.
I became a member last year and hope to be a volunteer this year.

Definitely a must-see for ANY motorcycle enthusiast. Visited 3 years ago and had a tingle up my leg. Big Grin The only downside is that at the time, there wasn't an 83 CB1100F on display; neither a red or blue version.
At the time, I owned one of each. Thumbs Up Biker
I've since learned/heard that they rotate models from time to time.
Seriously, the Barber Museum is heaven to us motorcyclists.
God Bless that man! Beer

What a cool museum, now I know why people have a bucket list. Good photos and I wonder of the history behind the modified Kawasaki, certainly an exercise in casting and fabrication as was the Britten.
