Opened in August 1993 with the principal support of Messenger Press and Port Adelaide Council this museum is unique number of ways.

"The National Motorcycle Museum was started by Brian and Margaret Kelleher. Many of the motorcycles are on loan to the museum for display, but the majority are owned by the Kelleher family. Some of the favourite machines on display are the Kenilworth scooter (1919), the twin cylinder water-cooled 2 stroke Scott, and the Vincent Black Knight. There is an excellent range from the early nineteen hundreds, and a lot of very interesting later machines. Allow an hour or two to have a good look around and read some of the interesting history presented."
