The Early Days
Our History
In 1963, Speed & Sport was founded by Gary and Judy Hilgenberg as an Ames, Iowa, Triumph motorcycle dealership. The line of new Suzuki motorcycles was soon added (as Suzuki dealer number 27 in the U.S.), as was Bultaco. Other minor brands were carried from time to time before the purchase of the local Yamaha shop in 1975.
In 1978, they sold the major part of the business and relocated to Arizona to concentrate on other commercial interests, while still owning a small British cycle shop.

Speed & Sport has been actively involved with the American Historic Racing Motorcycle Association (AHMRA) since its inception. AHRMA is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to preserving and displaying classic competition motorcycles mainly through competition. AHRMA-approved events take place across the US, and include roadracing, motocross, trials, dirt track and cross country. The calendar of events, rules and updates are posted on AHRMA’s website.
