Next Level Custom Motorcycles Are Coming to 2024 Moto Craft Show
The motorcycle scene in Toronto has been booming as of late. Between the massive moto takeover of the Distillery District last fall, the huge success of this year’s Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride — which brought out over 500 riders and raised over $150k for charity — and the ongoing growth of monthly Moto Social gatherings, the draw of collective cultural gatherings seems stronger than ever. That’s not to mention other events and activities like the Toronto Motorcycle Film Festival, or member clubs like Flying Squirrel that bring the riding community to gather on a regular basis.

From June 7th to 9th however, the city’s vibrant motorcycle scene is getting a boost at an international scale with the arrival of the first Moto Craft Show. Flying under the banner of “Where Speed Meets Art”, the show will include a diverse display of custom motorcycles, an artistic alley featuring moto-inspired art and crafts, a swap meet, vendor booths, and even a Talk Series, where builders, designers, and adventurers will share their stories and insights.
Of the many custom cycles on display, one of the leading highlights is the large selection of motorcycles travelling north to Toronto from the Haas Moto Museum in Dallas, Texas. The 20,000 square foot facility down south is home to over 200 spectacular motorcycles that span over a century of design and development. This exclusive collaboration with the Moto Craft Show is bringing a specially curated set of bikes from Bobby Haas’ collection, specifically curated to demonstrate how design and functionality merge to create moving art. This collaboration not only brings these motorcycles to a new audience, but also highlights the evolving narrative of motorcycles as style and culture icons. In the lineup you’ll find the BMW Alpha built by the late Mark Atkinson, first featured on SHARP back in 2017.
A number of noteworthy builders from across North America will also be showcasing some of their works at Moto Craft Show, including Victoria BC’s Jay Donovan, Max Hazan from Los Angeles, and award-winning owner/builder of Madhouse Motors in Boston J. Shia. With each builder bringing their own flair and flavour to the show floor of Toronto’s Queen Elizabeth Building, the diversity and creativity on the floor will be unlike anything the city has ever seen. You can also expect to see some of Toronto’s own crème-de-la-crème on display, as some of the city’s own custom creations have received the coveted invite for a spot on the floor.
Tickets for the festivities are already up for grabs here, with a 15% discount over the entry price at the door. Avid motorcycle fans are expected — and the site has allocated a reasonable amount of dedicated motorcycle parking — but you don’t need to be a rider to enjoy what’s on offer. These rolling sculptures are the kind of thing you won’t get to see often, and who doesn’t love a weekend afternoon spend staring at artful engineering marvels, and enjoying some top-tier hospitality along the way?
