What is Vintage Dual Sport ?

A Vintage Dual Sport is any Non-Current off road or older than 2001 Dual Sport motorcycle that can be plated for the highway and ridden off-road.

Generally speaking, if the item is older than 20 years, it falls under the term vintage...

Dual Sport rides are not competitions. Dual Sport events do not generally have classes.

So a Vintage Dual Sport event would just be a place to show off your Vintage Dual Sport Motorcycle.

X- Roads Buena Vista in Mid-August 2023 will have a Vintage component, if enough guys bring that old bike in the garage ?

 

• Ride it, talk about, take pictures or swap parts.
• If you have a plated Vintage Motorcycle, and it is capable of traversing a few Mountain Passes on 2 track roads and dirt roads, bring it and ride it on the Vintage Loop for a day ?
• If you need an excuse to to work on that old motorcycle sitting in your garage, a Vintage Dual Sport ride is the perfect excuse to bring that Vintage machine up to snuff.
  
• You could conceivably navigate most Dual Sport loops on your Vintage Dual Sport Motorcycle. But would you really want to ?
• The thinking is to sign-up with your more current Dual Sport, plated dirt bike or your Adventure bike and ride your choice of loops.
• But bring your Vintage bike along and ride it for a day. Or 2. Or a few hours.
