Overview

The Dune Motor Museum in Villasanta houses a focused collection of about 80 Yamaha off‑road motorcycles and related memorabilia documenting rally raids from the 1960s–2000s. The exhibit is curated by collectors connected to the Italian Yamaha importer and preserves helmets, suits, photos and trophies.

The museum operates from an industrial exhibition space and is typically visitable only by appointment. Contact ahead to confirm access and any visitor arrangements; some listings note free entry but visits should be arranged in advance.

What to Expect

A concentrated, specialist display for fans of rally raid history and vintage off‑road bikes.

Look out for:

  • Original Yamaha rally motorcycles used in Paris–Dakar and other international raids.
  • Period helmets, suits, photos and trophies that document race histories.
  • Thematic displays spanning roughly the 1960s through the 2000s.
  • A compact warehouse-style layout rather than a formal museum route.

Best way to experience it:

Contact the museum by phone to arrange a visit; plan for a focused 30–60 minute walkaround and bring any specific research questions if you want curatorial context.

Things to Note

  • Visits are generally by appointment—call ahead to arrange a time.
  • Some listings state free entry, but always confirm before travelling.
  • The venue is in an industrial/warehouse area with limited signage.
  • Collection is specialist (Yamaha off‑road rally bikes), not a general automotive museum.
