KNMV

KNMV stands for Koninklijke Nederlandse Motorrijders Vereniging, the Dutch national federation for motorcycling. It serves as the national governing body for motorcycle sport and acts as a representative organization for riders and clubs in the Netherlands. The KNMV issues licenses for road riding and competition, sanctions national championships, and coordinates the Dutch national teams for international events.

The organization develops safety and education programs, offers rider training resources, and runs campaigns to promote responsible riding and helmet use. It supports local motorcycling clubs, provides services to members, and communicates information on rules, safety guidelines, and event calendars. In its broader role, the KNMV engages with government and traffic-safety authorities on policies affecting motorcycling, road safety standards, and equipment requirements.

Internationally, the KNMV is a member of bodies such as the Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM) and FIM Europe, representing Dutch riders in international competition and helping to align Dutch regulations with international rules. The federation has a historical presence in Dutch motorsport and was granted the royal designation, reflecting its national role.

Overall, the KNMV aims to promote safe riding, advocate for motorcyclists’ interests, and support the development of motorcycle sport at all levels in the Netherlands.
