Vintage Wheels and Modern Steel Head to Potchefstroom
The annual Potchefstroom Motorcycle Expo returns this year, marking its third iteration as a hub for local biking enthusiasts. Scheduled for 16 June 2026, the event brings together a diverse display of two-wheeled history and modern engineering, offering a look at how motorcycle design has shifted over the decades.
The expo features a mix of vintage, veteran, and classic motorcycles, alongside contemporary models straight from dealerships.
What to Expect on the Day
The gates at 86 Chris Hani Street open at 08:00 and the event runs until 16:00. Attendees can view a broad lineup of machinery, with past events hosting over 100 motorcycles ranging from brand-new releases to models dating back 90 years.
Event Highlights
Exhibits: A wide range of makes and models on display, showcasing the evolution of motorcycles.
Bikes for Sale: Private owners can put their motorcycles up for sale during the event, with voluntary donations from successful sales going toward the local church.
Food and Drinks: A variety of food stalls and a cash bar will operate throughout the day, accompanied by music.
