Please make your selection for the Bike of the Year for 2023. I'll try leaving this poll thread open so that if you want to tell us about the finer features of the your bike you can do so. Pretty sure you only get one vote.
Thank you
Bill

As always, there is no slam-dunk, glaringly obvious, no competition choice for me. I love a carefully cared for survivor (650Ed???), I am awed by a spectacular, numbers and date code correct restoration, and I fully appreciate the creativity and number of hours that go into a full custom.

Are you sure we cannot vote early and often?

Done, voted!  The poll wasn't up when I replied.

BTW, January, January, January.  Does that count for three votes?

If movies have taught me anything, if you say the name three times it causes the named thing to appear.

Who is the owner of the January bike? The lines are so clean.

What's going on behind the carbs?
