Get the Riding Season into High Gear with Bike Week 2023

If you want to kickstart the 2023 riding season, then get your ass down to Daytona.

The home of Bike Week draws motorcyclists from far and wide and everywhere else. You can get your fill of competition and chrome with bike shows and races and plenty of other bike-related stuff from March 3 to 12 including high-end manufacturer displays, top-of-the-line gear, free test rides on Progressive Demo Road, and the Harley-Davidson Thunder Alley.

Bike Week has been a part of the Florida landscape for more than 80 years as this year marks the 82nd edition of the event and the 81st running of the legendary Daytona 200 race on the high banks and infield of the tri-oval track. 

Roadracing is only part of the motorcycle spectacular. Before anyone fires up a superbike the action belongs on the dirt with the Monster Energy AMA Supercross on March 4.

Later in the week the flat trackers take centre stage with the season-opening doubleheader of the 2023 Progressive American Flat Track championship on March 9 and 10.

In the beginning, the Daytona 200 was run on the sands of the beach itself. Those days are long gone and now MotoAmerica, home of AMA Superbike, partners with Daytona to host the 200 on the superspeedway. You can also take in the MotoAmerica King Of The Baggers Championship, marking the second time Baggers will race on the high banks of the superspeedway, as well as the opening round of the Twins Cup Championship. This action all takes place from March 9 to 11. 

If you want to do more than just watch from the bleachers, you can get a close-up front row seat from the back of a superbike in the Two-Seat Superbike Experience with speeds up to 150 mph. All proceeds from the Two-Seat Superbike program are donated to the Roadracing World Action Fund, a 501(c)(3) non-profit focusing on improving racetrack safety through the deployment of soft barriers.
