Whether you love cruising down wide boulevards on the lookout for the next exhibit, would rather live it up on the A1A with the ocean on one side and shop after shop on the other or just want to gawk at the lovely ladies on the beach, the Daytona Bike Week is the place to be.

The action will reach its peek on Friday night with the 70th running of the Daytona 200, the legendary race pitting Superbike and Supersport AMA riders against their European brethren. See your favourite warriors fighting it out on GSX-Rs, ZX-6s, R6s, CBR600RRs, Daytona 675s and Ducati 848s at over 250 km/h.
A little later on the Main, the bravest and most delinquent among us will have a field day in a screeching festival of burnouts and drag racing. Though the practice is officially outlawed, it’s tolerated in some areas during this one week where motorcycle riders are king. Yes, the Daytona Bike Week is pure joy. Don’t miss our photo gallery, capturing the festive air of an event where almost anything goes.
