Most of us have been to many museums. Some of them, however, stand out for their originality. Like the Museum of Historical Motorcycle in Nicosia, Cyprus. An effort of a private individual, that counts over 30 years, can only impress the visitor. Especially if he’s a fan of 2-wheel vehicles.
The Museum was founded by Andreas Nikolaou and the result of all this great effort is, to have a hundred and fifty motorcycles gathered in a place in Nicosia today. In the museum, you will see motorcycles from 1914 to 1983, such as AJS, MATCHLESS, NORTONS, BSA, MV AGUSTA, TRIUMPH, ARIEL, BMW, MOTO GUZZI, JAMES, ROYAL ENFIELD and many others.
