Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum Adds Todd Henning’s Drixton 450 to Collection Following Acclaimed Common Tread XP Film

Legendary race bike restored in acclaimed RevZilla film finds home at the world’s largest motorcycle museum ahead of the 20th annual Barber Vintage Festival

PHILADELPHIA, PA, UNITED STATES, September 25, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- RevZilla and the Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum are proud to announce the addition of Todd Henning’s legendary Drixton 450 to the museum’s permanent collection, the world’s largest assemblage of motorcycles as recognized by Guinness World Records.

The motorcycle’s journey from race-winning machine, to decades-long obscurity, to its return to the track was chronicled in a Common Tread XP documentary released earlier this year. The film followed motorcyclist and journalist Ari Henning, who recovered, rebuilt and raced his father Todd Henning’s Drixton 450 at the 2024 Barber Vintage Festival as a tribute to his father’s career and legacy.

The episode concluded with the motorcycle being donated to the Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum, ensuring its preservation and continued ability to inspire future generations. During the upcoming 20th annual Barber Vintage Festival (October 3–5), the film will also be shown in the museum’s theater as part of the weekend’s program alongside other featured films.

Produced by RevZilla, part of the Comoto Family of Brands and one of the leading voices in motorcycle culture and retail, the Common Tread XP film series explores the people, machines and stories that define the riding community. RevZilla has long been known for bringing motorcyclists closer to the gear and experiences that fuel their passion, and the Drixton project exemplifies the brand’s mission to honor the heritage of motorcycling while inspiring new generations of riders.

“The Drixton 450 was the bike my father poured his passion and energy into, and it became such a big part of my own journey as a rider,” explained Ari Henning, who is also a Media Lead and Editor at RevZilla. “To see it not only come back to life but also find a permanent home at the Barber museum is incredibly meaningful. I’m proud that we were able to share its story with riders everywhere through the film, and now, the bike itself will continue telling that story for generations.”

With the 20th annual Barber Vintage Festival approaching, the addition of the Drixton to the Barber collection underscores the event’s role as a global gathering place for motorcycle culture. Visitors to the museum will be able to experience firsthand a machine that embodies the determination, innovation and resilience that motorsports history is built upon.

“The Barber Museum’s mission is to preserve, interpret and exhibit the history of motorcycles and motorsports,” said Brian Case, Executive Director of the Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum. “Adding the Drixton 450 to our permanent collection not only honors Todd Henning’s racing legacy, but it also celebrates the powerful way motorcycles connect families, communities and generations.”
