This is a well kept secret in Lahti, a few kilometres away from the centre. The owner Riku is a great personality and can tell you everything there is to know about motorbikes. The collection is rare and there are great stories behind the bikes. This a perfect place to visit on a summer day and after the tour you can enjoy a cold beer by the lake.
The museum is really excellent for its collection of bikes. Lot of varieties with its uniqueness. I would like to take this opportunity to appreciate the efforts out in by Mr Riku Routo.
Apart from the collection of bikes what we can definitely look for is to click some amazing pics if you are photography enthusiast
100% recommendation to visit this museum located at Lahti, Finland
A very unique & rare collection of world's renowned motorcycle brands. Riku has spent tremendous efforts to make this happen i believe. From the oldest Japanese made model to the stylish russian bikes to the grand old Indian royal enfield, it has all the famous brands. Harley, Kawasaki, BSA, Honda, Raleigh, Sunbeam, Indian, Java, are some of the models at display. Not to forget the ever shining Lambretta & Vespa are also at display!! Riku said, there is plan of expansion too.
Worth a visit surely.
Bangalorean in Lahti :)
We were very excited with this museum. Really interesting place to visit in Finland, regardless, wether you’re a bike fan or never even rode one.
I wish all the the best to the owner, who let us in despite the museum was closed (trip advisor showed open though).
We had a great conversation with this outstanding man who shared his future plans for museum development.
This place is a must visit in Finland.
Visited Motorcycle museum in Lahti, Finland. For some reason it’s not listed as Ace Cafe even it’s, it was the first one outside London. Nice small museum, good display of various motorcycles and the selection change annually. People have all kind of vierd stuff that the can bring here for display. There is also a bar & cafeteria that serve what I know good burgers during summer months. If you’re in Lahti and like motorcycles, go! But be warned, you might want one and then there is no way looking back.
Collection is really huge, too big for the current premises (but they expect to expand in 2019!).
The host is living legend of the world motorbike culture, very friendly and welcoming.
Ticket price is high (€12 per person incl. school children), but worth it. I would recommend to include a kind of info booklet into the visitor’s package: each motorcycle has its own story to share!
