800KM was born back in 2013 when we imagined a race that could gather both classic motorcycles collectors and friends -who did not find a space where to
ride and show their vehicles- and to give them the possibility to ride along the best argentinean roads, driving through unforgettable places and enjoying the best views.
After almost a year, the first 800KM edition was born: Patagonia Classic 2014. The one and only regularity and average-test classic motorcycle race in Latin America started in San Carlos de Bariloche, Río Negro. Riders stayed at the spectacular Llao Llao Hotel, surrounded by Cerro López, Tronador Mountain peaks and the Moreno and Nahuel Huapi lakes.
Since its birth, first class brands and companies, government institutions in each of the cities and villages we visited, and specialized press have supported 800KM. The race already belongs in the FIM calendar and -in Argentina- is also part of the MOTOR SERIES program together with Dakar Series, World Rallycross, WTCC and MotoGP.
It runs on open routes and does not involve track bikes.
It takes place in the only circuit of MOTOGP of Latin America – Termas de Rio Hondo, Santiago del Estero, Rep. Argentina – and admits, in addition to the classic, track motorcycles.
Each 800KM new edition is inspired in new and challenging geographies presenting riders a selection of roads, mountain tracks and unique places along which they can also enjoy relaxing moments, gourmet food and breathtaking views. From the first edition these are some of the sponsors with the same values that accompany us: Tissot, Citibank, Tam, Audi, LS2 Helmets, Triumph, BMW, Ducati Ogio, Bodega DV Catena, Bodega Argento y más.
800KM has received the “Marca País” (Argentina Brand) distinction granted by the Ministry of Tourism of Argentina. This endorsement has encouraged us to present the first international edition of the competition: 800KM Mallorca Classic.
800km makes available to foreign motorcyclists wishing to import their motorcycle to Argentina, the possibility of renting motorcycles to local trainers and collectors.
800km offers the possibility of getting in touch with other motorcyclists who share the same passion for classic motorcycles, generating unique links beyond nationalities and distances.
