Floor 1

Come and enjoy a historical tour and learn about the evolution of the motorcycle from 1902 until now. Through it, you will be able to see the most legendary models and hear the roar of their engines.

If you are interested in the world of mechanics and restoration, you will be able to discover technical curiosities explained by a very special mechanic and you will be able to observe the workshop where Mario Soler restored many of the motorcycles of the exhibition.

This exhibition, located on the ground floor is divided into 5 areas:

1. The origins: Mario Soler. You will learn about the origins of the Museum with an interesting audiovisual introduction and you will be able to see some of the family motorcycles as well. On of these is the Soler Rápida, a unique piece in the world that Mario Soler manufactured in 1953 for his children to learn to drive a motorcycle.

2. The Pioneers (1985 - 1925). In this section you will discover the first motorcycle brands that were manufactured, many of them practically by hand. Here you will be able to understand the difficulty of driving them at a time when there were practically no roads. Some particular motorcycles stand out. For example this Clement in original condition from 1902 is the oldest motorcycle in the whole museum, but there are many other curious and very interesting pieces from the beginning of the 20th century (Alcyon, Peugeot, Norton, BSA,...).

3. The Consolidation (1925 - 1926). It is when big factories appear, mainly in Europe and the USA and the motorcycle becomes popular becoming a vehicle with its own design. Majestic and high quality motorcycles, like an Indian Four 120cc from 1938. In this area, there is a specific section devoted to motorcycle and women.

4. The Post-war period (1940 - 1959). Many initiatives popped up, both emergent and ephemeral, with very basic technology and low quality materials. Brands like Montesa, OSSA, Mymsa, Soriano, Sanglas, Moto Guzzi Hispania... will evoke memories for generations who lived through this complicated period in our country's history. Don't miss out a RACC's unique sidecar. The first and only road support vehicle at this company in 1957.

5. The Modern Era (1960 - 2000). It is when the market begins to drift towards the leisure product. Factors such as design and performance prevail over pure and hard functionality. In this room you will find spectacular sports models from Italian brands (Laverda, Moto Guzzi), Japanese (Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki) and German (BMW).

6. Scooters, the useful motorcycle. The exhibition ends in a fun space devoted to mobility. In this section you will be able to see versions of the iconic Vespa and Lambretta or the Honda Super Cun, the best-selling motorcycle model in history, which is still being manufactured today.
