We would like to introduce you to the unique collection located at the Antique Motorcycle store in Moorabbin, just 15km from Melbourne.
The owner of this extraordinary collection is John Gee, a motorcycle enthusiast since childhood. He developed his love for motorcycles at the age of 8, and it has only grown stronger over the years. In 1998, John Gee founded Antique Motorcycle, which has since become home to an impressive collection of 130 motorcycles.
John Gee’s collection at Antique Motorcycle includes an astonishing 130 motorcycles.
The Antique Motorcycle collection features a wide array of one-of-a-kind vintage motorcycles.
For instance, there is a sidecar motorcycle in the collection that was once used by the legendary Steve McQueen.
You’ll also find one of the two Honda Four motorcycles used in the 1981 film “Mad Max.”
John Gee’s collection even includes Billy Gibbon’s Destroyer II bike, which was converted from a Kawasaki Z1R.
John Gee has preserved the original tears on the seat of Billy Gibbon’s Destroyer II to maintain the historical significance of this motorcycle.
Among the collection is a rare 1942 Harley-Davidson WLA, one of the military motorcycles used for testing purposes.
Another notable motorcycle is the Indian Chief 2002, famously ridden by actor Arnorld Schwarzenegger in the movie “Terminator 3.” Only two of these motorcycles remain in the world, as two were destroyed during filming.
Don’t miss the Hercules Wankel 1975, one of the few large-displacement motorcycles featuring unique rotary engines.
If you’re looking for power, the Honda CBX1000 Turbo motorcycle with its 6-cylinder engine and turbocharging system is sure to impress. It delivers a staggering 140 horsepower.
For vintage racing enthusiasts, the Harley-Davidson WR 1951 is a rare gem.
The Indian Squad 1951 has held a special place in John Gee’s heart for the past 25 years.
John Gee’s collection doesn’t stop at motorcycles. He also proudly displays a selection of rare bicycles. Among them is a unique bike with parallel seats and dual pedals that allow couples to ride side by side.
Even if you’re not a motorcycle enthusiast, a visit to Moorabbin is simply incomplete without a trip to John Gee’s Antique Motorcycle.
