E
veryone does Bike of The Year stories.
The problem with them is many publica-
tions—not us, obviously—will award a
Bike of The Year title to a motorcycle even if
they haven't ridden it. Crazy, we know.
Here at Cycle News, we focus only on the
bikes we have ridden—hence the reason this
article is called our favorite Bikes of The Year
and not just Bike of The Year. There are several
motorcycles we would have liked to have tested
in 2024, but for whatever reason (usually time),
we couldn't, but such is life. The bikes we have
tested, however, range from cruisers to super
-
bikes, commuters to motocross bikes, and
pretty much most bikes with knobby tires.
So, without further ado, we present to
you our staff's favorite Bikes of The Year.
