The museum is a separate entity from the CVMG and federally registered as a charitable not-for-profit agency with a volunteer Board of Directors. Funds to sustain the museum's operations are generated by donations (for which tax receipts are issued) and fund raisers such as motorcycle raffles.

The CVMM was formed in 1994 by several dedicated CVMG members for the purpose of bringing some of the aims and objectives of that group into reality for future generations.

The museum has a mandate to record and preserve not only motorcycles but any and all memorabilia, magazines, posters and any artifacts pertaining to motorcycling, the people involved with them and the history of motorcycling in Canada.

The museum is located at 347 Greenwich Street, Brantford at the Canadian Military Heritage Museum.
