Motorcycle of the year


Riders' selection of the 100 best bikes for each year from 1990 to 2024

Below are the "Motorcycle of the Year" as selected by bike riders from all over the world. The 100 best bikes each year are listed. Unlike ranking in motorcycle magazines, these lists are dynamic. Adjusted rankings are published every saturday morning (GMT) to reflect more riders' opinions and more experience with, for example, repair costs.

If you disagree with a rating, please rate the bike.
