Jan Zantingh - Sourcing & purchasing
Sometimes, life takes you exactly where you need to be—and that’s exactly how my journey with VintageMotorcycles.nl began.
Wiljan and I have been friends since our youth, and over the years, we both followed our own business paths. Wiljan sold his software company in 2018, and I recently sold my company completely in 2024, officially stepping away from it.
When I saw how much fun Wiljan was having in his work, something clicked. The thrill of hunting for classic motorcycles, finding rare gems, and connecting them with new owners? That sounded like something I’d love to be a part of. And that’s how I joined VintageMotorcycles.nl.
Searching for the Finest Classics
Since then, I’ve been traveling across the country and beyond, searching for the most incredible classic motorcycles. The adventure of tracking down rare models, discovering hidden gems, and negotiating the best deals is something I truly enjoy.
With my experience in negotiating and a keen eye for special bikes, I’m now responsible for much of the sourcing and purchasing. Whether it’s a rare 2-stroke, a perfectly preserved 80s superbike, or a classic British twin, I’m always on the lookout for the best additions to our collection.
A New Location in Someren-Eind
Beyond motorcycle sourcing, I also took on another big project: establishing our third location. Right across from the main building, at Hoog Vaartje 8 in Someren-Eind, we’ve created an additional space to expand our collection even further.
With this new location, we can showcase even more classic motorcycles and offer enthusiasts an even better experience. It’s amazing to see how VintageMotorcycles.nl continues to grow and how we’re building something truly special together.
The Adventure Continues
Whether it’s a long road trip abroad, uncovering a hidden motorcycle, or sealing an exciting deal—every day is different. Together with Wiljan, Esmée, and the team, we work daily to find the most exceptional motorcycles and connect enthusiasts with their dream bikes.
