2025 Best In The Desert Vegas to Reno - Motorcycles
06:38 AM August 15, 2025 - The first few bikes appeared in the distant valley. The engines were at a constant speed - WOT. Once in a while a short blip - RPMs drop, but not for even a second and back to wide open throttle.
This was mile 53 of the 2025 Vegas to Reno. The first bike left the start line around 05:50 AM. Less than an hour in and here they are flying by and headed to the finish over 400 miles away.
I was here at mile 53 until 08:09 AM - at which time most of the bikes, quads, and three wheelers had passed by. Here's a link the race gallery. Check it out if you want to see all of the photos. 2025 BITD Vegas To Reno Photo Gallery
The first bike I see is with Johnny Campbell Racing - Tyler Lynn on bike N304.
Next was Axel Pearson with Norman Racing on bike N26.
And here is not only the overall bike winner, but also the over all race winner - bike N1 Shane Logan, Arturo Salas, and Claran Naran (not sure who ridding).
Here's Ron Byrum - HBMC and AMA District 37 President on bike O14 (ironman).
And here's proof that there are still some ATCs out in the wild! I saw this ATC much later in the day at mile 444, and they were still headed to the finish! Good times! Please check the gallery link above for more photos from the 2025 BITD Vegas to Reno!
