Mecum’s 35th Annual Vintage & Antique Motorcycle Auction kicks off in Las Vegas on Tuesday, Jan. 27 and runs through Saturday, Jan. 31. The event returns to the South Point Hotel & Casino and promises pulse-raising action as more than 2,000 motorcycles will cross the block this year, including 30 significant motorcycle collections.

The expanded five-day schedule allows Mecum to better showcase the depth, diversity, and historical importance of the motorcycles offered while delivering a more complete experience for bidders, collectors, spectators, and media alike.
