The Quail Motorcycle Gathering is one of the best events for motorcycles in the entire world. This year the 13th iteration of the event will be held at the Quail Lodge & Golf Course in California. However, before that event happens, I thought I would take a look at the previous Best of Show winners.
A Retrospective Before the 13th Iteration of The Quail Motorcycle Gathering
The Quail is known for having numerous bikes worthy of the Best of Show crown, but only one bike can win per event. We’ll start with 2009 and work our way toward the present day.
(Note that the event took a hiatus during the pandemic, so there are a few years missing.)
