Inside Simon's Incredible Classic Motorcycle Collection

From rare race bikes to cherished classics, see inside one enthusiast's extraordinary garage and discover why specialist multi-bike insurance matters.

Every motorcycle tells a story.

For some owners, that's a single machine they've cherished for decades. For others, like Peter Best customer Simon, every bike marks a different chapter in a lifelong passion for motorcycling.

When Classics World presenter Joe had the opportunity to visit Simon's home and film his incredible motorcycle collection, he didn't need asking twice. As a huge motorcycle enthusiast and Isle of Man TT fan himself, the chance to see a garage filled with rare and fascinating machines, including a Ducati race bike worth around £150,000 with genuine Isle of Man TT history, was simply too good to miss.

The result is a fascinating look inside one enthusiast's collection, exploring not just the motorcycles themselves, but the stories, memories and history behind each one.

Watch the full video below and step inside Simon's remarkable collection.

Bringing enthusiasts together

Our partnership with Classics World is all about celebrating the people behind the vehicles.

Whether we're showcasing a beautifully restored classic car, a unique motorcycle collection or hearing the stories behind decades of ownership, we're proud to help bring these incredible collections to fellow enthusiasts.

Simon was kind enough to open his home and share not only his motorcycles, but the memories that make each one special, and we think you'll agree it's well worth watching.

A collection built through passion

What makes Simon's collection so special is the history behind each bike. 

Every machine has been chosen for a reason. Some represent engineering milestones, others hold personal memories, while a number have genuine racing pedigree. It's exactly the kind of collection that reflects years of careful searching, restoring and preserving.

For enthusiasts, collections like Simon's are rarely planned overnight. They're built over decades, one motorcycle at a time.

And as every new bike joins the garage, insuring them all can become increasingly complicated.
