Lyon Air Museum, a world class showcase of historic aircraft and vintage automobiles, with a reputation of curating never-before-seen exhibitions, to host THE MOTORCYCLES.  

A collection of notable motorcycles will make up the photo opportunity-rich exhibit, including one of the very first Norton motorcycles ever built, a 1902 Energette. In addition, World War II-era motorbikes will be displayed, all complimented by the rare, historic World War II and Korean War-era aircraft on display in the museum. The story is further told through authentic motorcycles previously owned and ridden by pop culture icons, including Steve McQueen, Dennis Hopper, John Wayne and Paul Newman.  “Pete ‘Maverick’ Mitchell’s” motorcycle recently featured in the blockbuster movie Top Gun: Maverick will be showcased, as well as a rare Factory Works Kawasaki, at one time ridden by one of the greatest Supercross riders of all time, Ricky Carmichael.  The exhibit runs July 1 through September 2, 2024 at Lyon Air Museum, located on the west side of John Wayne Airport in Orange County, California.
