Bonneville Motorcycle Speed Trials
Motorcycle land speed racing takes over the Bonneville Salt Flats during the annual Bonneville Motorcycle Speed Trials, where riders chase American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) and Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM) records on one of the most famous speedways on Earth. Held just over the Nevada-Utah border near West Wendover, this high-speed event brings racers and spectators to the salt for several days of two-wheeled horsepower.
Gear up for some of the most thrilling high-octane excitement on two wheels at the Bonneville Speedway, where motorcycles from all different classes (and from all different countries) go head to head for the title of the fastest motorcycle on Earth.
Sanctioned by the AMA and FIM, Bonneville Motorcycle Speed Trials is the premier motorcycle land speed racing event. Riders compete across a wide range of classes, including streamliners, electric motorcycles, record-ready builds, and “Run Watcha Brung” entries.
The Bonneville Salt Flats have earned their reputation as the Speed Capital of the World for good reason. The vast, flat salt surface creates a racing venue unlike anywhere else, drawing land speed racers from around the globe to push machines and records across this stark, otherworldly landscape.
After a day on the salt, West Wendover is the closest Nevada basecamp for casino resorts, restaurants, entertainment, and post-race downtime. For race details, spectator passes, racer registration, and schedule updates, visit the Bonneville Motorcycle Speed Trials website.
