The American Historic Racing Motorcycle Association Ltd. (AHRMA) is a not-for-profit organization
dedicated to restoring and competing on historic motorcycles.
With over 3000 members, AHRMA is the largest historic racing group
in North America and one of the biggest in the world.
The association’s popularity reflects the nation’s fascination with classic and historic bikes.

AHRMA offers national and regional roadracing, motocross, dirt track, cross country and observed trials competition for historic motorcycles. In addition to conducting the AHRMA Fast & Safe Roadracing School, the organization also showcases “alternative” modern racing – Sound of Singles®, Battle of Twins®, Sound of Thunder and Formula Lightning®, zero-emissions electric motorcycle racing.
AHRMA’s mission is to recreate and preserve the vintage era of roadracing, including the sights, sounds, smells and camaraderie. Certain historical groups of machines are also included in AHRMA’s paddock. See our National schedule.
The machines raced in the era were basic transportation-based models with slight modifications. They were raced over farmland settings with natural challenges. Higher speeds, terrain and off-camber turns provided the main challenges on these tracks that are typical of those used into the early ‘70s. See our National schedule.
Machines of this era were purpose-built motocross racers which introduced many technologies, from the very first long-travel suspension through to the advent of water-cooled engines and linkage-controlled rear suspensions found at the end of this exciting time in motocross. See our National schedule.
AHRMA’s observed trials goal is to provide its members a safe, historically accurate environment to showcase and experience vintage machinery. With period-accurate sections, machines will remain true to their original concept, and the techniques required to ride them will do the same, enhancing the entire vintage trials scene. See our National Trials schedule.
