FIM Heritage Programme

Protecting and promoting the historical and technological heritage of competition.

The International Motorcycling Federation (FIM) has launched a programme aimed at conserving motorcycle competition heritage at global level and promoting this historic heritage.

Certifying the technical and historic value of competition machines forms a big part of this programme.

Protecting
and promoting

The FIM Heritage Program certification helps to protect and promote the historical and technological heritage of competition through a global database. It also offers organizers, through FIM Historic Events, the opportunity to showcase these machines in action to an audience of enthusiasts on the world's most iconic circuits, where they raced in the past, or in themed exhibitions.

All competition machines

The FIM Heritage Programme covers all competition machines from the time they are retired from the sporting scene, so there is no minimum age for eligible machines.

For all generations

Our program allows the public to discover not only the machines that have marked history since the creation of the championships but also the most recent ones such as MotoGP, Superbikes or endurance machines just retired from competition.

“The sport that stirs our passions every day has a rich and universal history.

We must not only respect its origins, but also draw strength from them to tackle future challenges.

The classic scene that we know in Europe and worldwide fuels this passion for authentic motorcycle racing heritage.

In this context, it is important to recognise technological and sporting value and also the authenticity of racing motorcycles, which is vital to ensure harmonious and beneficial development for everyone involved in this activity.

Within the Foundation created by the FIM, the FIM has decided to set up a “Heritage” programme.

Its main focus will be certifying the authenticity of racing motorcycles.
Certification will aid efforts to protect and promote them to the public thanks to the historical and technological value of these amazing pieces of machinery.

The second strand is the launch of a new series – “FIM Historic Events” – which will enable organisers to present selected motorcycles so that the public can indulge their passion with complete confidence thanks to the accuracy of the information provided.

Today, we are proud to be launching our first activities with all enthusiasts.”
