Musée Baster Musée de la moto

Musée Baster — Musée de la moto is a private collection created by Guy (André) Baster, displayed in about 2,000 m² in Riom. The museum traces motorcycle history with everyday machines and high‑end classics.

Expect over 400 two‑wheel exhibits including mopeds, scooters, sidecars and notable classics like a Brough Superior SS100, a Vincent and MV Agusta, plus a rare 1930 TRAIN 4‑cylindre. The site also hosts a monthly motorcycle market for parts and vendors.

A compact, well‑filled museum for motorcycle enthusiasts and casual visitors alike. Displays are arranged chronologically and by type, with workshop‑style presentation reflecting the founder’s background.

Highlights:

• More than 400 motorcycles, scooters, cyclomoteurs, sidecars and bicycles covering circa 1905–1985.

• Notable machines on display: Brough Superior SS100 (1927), Vincent, MV Agusta and a 1930 TRAIN 4‑cylindre.

• Exhibition space of roughly 2,000 m² with workshop elements and period signage.

• Monthly "Marché de la moto" (motorcycle market) on the second Sunday — vendors and parts.

Best way to experience it:

Visit with time to browse steadily; the displays are dense and best enjoyed up close. If your trip coincides with the second Sunday of the month you can combine the visit with the on‑site motorcycle market for parts and local collectors.

• The collection is private and reflects the founder’s workshop style.

• The museum’s website and local tourism listings are the best sources for current opening times and events.

• The monthly motorcycle market occurs on the second Sunday; check the museum site before planning.

• Large groups or specific accessibility needs should be confirmed with the museum in advance.
