The value of the motorcycles at these museums can vary a great deal. Ask any Titlemax rep which motorcycles are worth the most and you may get several different answers. While Titlemax would value a newer motorcycle higher for title loan purposes, there are some older motorcycles worth more than a million dollars.
Open 10am - 4.30pm. Winter times (Dec- Feb) closed during the week.
