The docket for this year includes the Harley-Davidson XR-750 (presented as “the most dominant production race bike ever built and raced by greats such as Mert Lawwill and Jay Springsteen”), as well as an iconic two-stroke ‘braap’ display showing off Motocross bikes like the Yamaha YZ490 and MotoGP Two-Stroke 500cc race bikes.

The Quail rounds up the front of the line with the stunning BMW /5 series; a fleet of motorcycles that were “made entirely in Berlin from 1970 to 1973 and featured electric starting and telescopic forks.”

“The Peninsula Signature Events team is thrilled for the return of The Quail Motorcycle Gathering featuring one of the finest and rarest vintage and modern motorcycle collections in the world,” says Kai Lermen, General Manager of Quail Lodge & Golf Club.
