The 2021 bikesales Bike of the Year, proudly presented by Shannons, is underway, with 10 motorcycles in the running for the top prize. Now we're giving you the chance to have your say.
We revealed our list of ten contenders on October 13 and, from that diverse list of models, our expert judges will select two Highly Commended machines and one overall winner.
But, before we choose the 2021 bikesales Bike of the Year, we are giving you the chance to vote for your favourite bike via the poll below. Each vote will go towards deciding the 2021 bikesales People's Choice Award.
There are 10 excellent and exciting models to choose from, with a field comprising both new and updated bikes. All-new machines include the Aprilia RS 660, the BMW R 18, and the Harley-Davidson Pan America, while next-generation models such as the Ducati Multistrada V4 S, the KTM 890 Adventure R and the Triumph Speed Triple RS all improve significantly on their predecessors.
Also included are several big hitters that have been overhauled for 2021, such as the Suzuki Hayabusa, the Yamaha WR450F and the Yamaha MT-09.
And, for the first time in Bike of the Year history, an electric motorcycle has been nominated, with the Harley-Davidson LiveWire reflecting a rapidly changing motorcycle industry.
So which bike do you think is the best of the bunch? It’s now time for you to vote for your favourite via the poll below. Voting will close on November 22, and the People’s Choice Winner will be announced on November 24. Then, on December 1, we will announce the overall winner of the 2021 bikesales Bike of the Year award, proudly presented by Shannons.
