The sixth Classic Motorcycle Day, organised with the Vincent HRD Owners Club, was scheduled for 2 July 2023 at Crich Tramway Village.

A contemporary April 2023 announcement said all display places had been taken, with 350 motorcycles expected. Exhibits were to range from vintage machines to motorcycles from the 1990s, all at least 25 years old.

The 2023 organisers advertised trophies for categories including Best Original, Best British, Best Japanese, Best International, Best Pre-war and Best Scooter.

The Best in Show trophy was to be chosen by a public vote.

Vincent HRD Owners Club organiser, Jon Lambley said:

“Many of the classic motorcycle owners consider this event to be one of the most important in the year, and we hope that everyone will enjoy this year’s display and vote for their favourite machine.”

The organisers said exhibitor places were fully booked ahead of the event.

Events Manager at Crich Tramway Village, Candi Bell, said:

“The event is so popular, that we are already full of classic motorcycles for display. We are looking forward to welcoming everyone for another great day for browsing the classic collection of motorcycles and enjoying vintage tram rides and live music in the afternoon from The Moonshiners.”

The 2023 preview also advertised vintage tram rides and afternoon music from The Moonshiners.
