Reader’s Choice: Here Are Your Picks For The Ten Best Motorcycles Of 2017

Every year, we sit in a room and bicker about the best motorcycles from various categories for our Ten Best Bikes competition. Insults are shouted, tears are cried, and feelings are hurt as we try and narrow the list to something we can stand behind.

This year, our picks are widely contested. Readers are upset that we chose Harley's updated touring platform to win the best tourer or that a bike like the Tuono could win for best standard. While we get to experience more bikes than many of you (and in a wider variety of riding experiences), we're just a bunch of dudes with opinions at the end of the day; just like you. This year, we polled our Facebook followers on what they would have chosen to win.

We've counted and tallied your picks, and the results are as follows:
