Sky Valley Motorcycle Show Classes

Enter Your Bike

Got yourself a show bike? Crazy Chop? Best around? Righteous Hog, Classic Brit, Trike? Or just the badest ratbike we’ll ever see this side of Hades? Bring it down and let’s see it parked on Main Street.

This is a ride-in Bike Show. Anyone can enter any number of bikes (at $20 each), provided you ride each bike into the show registration area. Everyone at the show can vote for their favorite bike for People's Choice Best of Show, but please only vote one ballot slip!

The decision of the show judges is final.

Show Categories

250cc and under

Any motorcycle with an engine displacement of 250cc or less. Examples: Honda Dream, or Harley Davidson Hummer.

Antique /Vintage (pre-1983)

The Antique Motorcycle Club of America defines antique as at least 35 years old. The Antique Historic Motorcycle Racing Association defines Vintage Motocross as pre-1975 and Vintage Superbike as pre-1982. For this show, any motorcycle built in 1983 or earlier. Motorcycles may be restored or in existing, as found condition.

Classic (1993-1998)

Classic is a largely unofficial term, but this one is used more to determine style than year. Where a vintage bike is just old, the term classic generally refers to bikes that have stayed more original, rather than custom. Most agree that 20-25 years old is classic.

British/European

Any motorcycle manufactured in a European country, including the United Kingdom. Examples: BMW, Ducati, and Moto Guzzi, Triumph and Norton.

Japanese

All motorcycles manufactured in Japan or by a Japanese company, such as Honda or Suzuki.

Rat

We all know one when we see one, no explanation necessary.

Sport Bike

A sport bike, such as a Buell Lighting, Suzuki GSXR, or Honda Interceptor.

Stock

Any make or model of motorcycle that is essentially stock. No engine or frame modifications. May have a few bolt-on stock parts as from manufacturer. Exhaust modifications accepted. Examples: Stock Harley Davidson with aftermarket exhaust and hand grips, or a stock Indian with an aftermarket seat.

Woman Rider

Any make or model of motorcycle ridden by a female rider. This category is intended to encourage women to enter their own rides, and in no way, is intended to offend any rider.

Full Dresser

A cruiser-style motorcycle from the factory intended for comfortable road use. Typically has high comfort suspension, hard fairings, a large windshield, hard panniers/saddlebags, large pillion seat and trunk. May have a Tour Pack. Motorcycles may be modified but should have the feel of the original style. Examples: HD Ultra Glide, HD Classic, Victory Vision, Honda Wings, Aspencade, Kawasaki Voyager, Suzuki Cavalcade, Yamaha Royalstar and Venture.

Half Dresser

As with a Full Dresser, but from factory with smaller/no fairings, with screen, hard or leather saddlebags. Examples: HD Standard Road King, HD Street Glide, HD Heritage, Victory Vision, HD Road Glide Tour Pack, Victory Crossroads, Cross Country, Honda Interstate, Yamaha Star Stratoliner Deluxe, Silverado, Star 1300 Tourer, 950 Tourer, Suzuki C109RT, C-90T, C-50T, Kawasaki Vulcan Classic LT and Nomad.

Adventure/Dual Sport

An adventure motorcycle is designed to perform well on both paved and unpaved terrain, but it is more oriented towards long-distance travel on paved roads. These bikes typically have larger engines, usually 650 cc or more, and are equipped with features like large windscreens, crash and protective guards, and pannier bags to enhance comfort and protection during long trips. They are heavier and more comfortable on roads but can still handle some off-road conditions.

A dual sport motorcycle, is more focused on off-road performance while still being street-legal. These bikes often have smaller engines, typically 650 cc or less, and are designed to be nimble and agile off-road. They may have smaller or no windscreen, a flat seat, and are generally lighter than adventure bikes. Dual sport motorcycles are versatile and can handle a mix of on-road and off-road riding, making them suitable for both street and trail use.

Chopper

A sixties style chopper: skinny rear tires, wire wheels, hard-tail. Drum brakes accepted. No aluminum engines, no billet.

Customs

Customs are defined as motorcycles that have been altered from factory specs or custom built. The type and number of modifications to your bike determine which of our 3 Custom Classes your bike belongs in. Modifications may include paint, engine, frame, suspension, fenders, side covers, fuel tanks, lights, handlebars, wheels, exhaust and brake systems, etc. Bolt-on items count toward a total number of modifications. 3 individually classed bolt-on items equal one modification.

Example 1: A stock bike with custom-gel pad seat, bolt-on windscreen, bolt-on mirrors, bolt-on foot pegs enters as Manufactured Custom because this is 4 items (1 modification + 1 bolt-on).

Example 2: A stock bike with custom-gel pad seat, bolt-on windscreen, bolt-on mirrors, bolt-on foot pegs, stroked 124-inch motor, powder-coated frame, and custom paint with graphics enters as Mild Custom because this is 7 items (2 modifications + 1 bolt-on).

Example 3: A bike with custom-gel pad seat, bolt-on windscreen, bolt-on mirrors, bolt-on foot pegs, stroked 124-inch motor, raked & stretched frame, hand built exhaust pipes, custom billet wheels, powder coated frame, custom seat pan, custom oil bag, custom handle bars, custom wiring harness, custom lighting, custom shift linkage, custom accent lighting, and custom paint with graphics enters as Radical Custom because this is 17 items (5 modifications + 2 bolt-ons).
