Bike Classification Descriptions

Here are the newly updated Ride-in Bike Show Classes for 2008

General Rules - All bikes must be operable and licensed. Bikes must be ridden to the bike show. Trailered bikes will be disqualified. To qualify for an award, bikes must be present in the Bike Show portion of the rally. No crybabies.

SPORT – Also known as the Crotch Rocket or Ninja. This bike is made to make hairpin turns and reach overwhelming acceleration and speed. They are lightweight and not burdened with additional riding accessories common to the other classes. They are low profile and the rider is often lying over the gas tank.

Examples – Kawasaki “Street Bike”, Buell, Yamaha YZF-R, FJR, and FZ, Honda CBR 1100XX, RC51, Super Hawk, Interceptor, and CBR600RR, most BMW’s, and many other bikes with strange names using incomprehensible letters and numbers.

CRUISER – This includes a wide range of bikes from the "in town", light weight cruiser to the slightly heavier bike that is also good for the open road. Typically between 550 and 700 pounds dry weight.

Examples – Harley Davidson Sportster, Yamaha V Star 650, VMAX, and Virago, Honda Shadow, Magna, Rebel, and Nighthawk, all Triumph, Suzuki Volusia, Marauder, Savage, Kawasaki Vulcan 800 or less, Indian Scout, and BMW R1200C.

TOURING - The largest of the bike classes, this bike is made for long term trips. These are usually over 700 pounds dry weight. Often known as a bagger or dresser, if you have a light 500 pound bike with a full bags and fairing that is advertised as touring, sorry, go to Cruiser you’ve been out classed.

Examples – Harley Davidson Electra Glide and Road King, Yamaha Royal Star, Honda Gold Wing, Kawasaki Vulcan 1500 Nomad, Voyager XII, Indian Chief, and BMW K1200LT and R1200CL.

CLASSIC - 1970 thru 1985; All makes and models welcome. Restored originals, unrestored originals, choppers, modifieds, customs, all are included. Must have original VIN numbers on engine cases, the rest is wide open, frames, frontends etc. Bikes will be judged on individual merits. Attention to details and shine always a plus!

BUILDER – These are the “Show Bikes”. These usually very expensive bikes feature lots of customization. They are usually the chopper style but with creativity could be about anything. If you really must trailer your awesome bike to the event, you will still need to ride it to the show.

Examples – American Ironhorse, Blue Steel, Boss Hoss, Home Built, Orange County Choppers, PCC, West Coast Choppers, Etc.

TRIKES AND SIDECARS – Anything with three wheels, including sidecars.

RAT – So ugly, can't believe it runs

Prizes – All bikes will be categorized into the eight classes listed above and judged by a selected panel of 3 to 4 judges. First place in each class will receive $100 and a plaque. Second place in each class except Rat, will receive $50 and a plaque.

A $100 Participant's Choice: This prize will be awarded along with a plaque to the bike that receives the most votes as the best overall bike. If you are registered for Run-A-Mucca, then you get a vote, even if you don't have a bike in the show. Intending no personal insults to our highly qualified judges, this one is out of their hands. Each registered rally entrant will have one vote per registration. Entrants can use any standard they choose like “baggers are best”, or “mine is always better than yours”, or whatever, people’s choice.

A $500 Best of Show: We know this will be a tough one, but our brave judges have volunteered to choose the best of show.

Disclaimer: The classes will be judged solely on the personal preferences of the judges. We don’t claim that they know all about the subject matter and may not be completely sober at all times. No points may be awarded and no score sheets will be made available for review by contestants. Contestants are responsible for choosing the correct class for their bikes, and no registration fees will be refunded. No whiners or crybabies please, this is a fun event. Good Luck, you’re going to need it.
