Motorcycles are awesome, but there’s no reason for them to exist. There are far too many other options to cover distances with, faster, cheaper, more comfortable.
What’s even more pointless is the race breed of motorcycles. For a lot of people, MotoGP, WSBK, Isle of Man TT are just a bunch of retards going around in circles on machines that cost more than the GDP of Rwanda. They crash often, go redundant every year, and go nowhere really really fast.
But then again, everything is pointless. Why go to the Moon? Why build rockets that go Mach 10? Why spend the billions on science to understand where we came from and where we’ll go?
The best things you do in life are done for no reason.
So here’s a random collection of probably the most beautiful racing machines that’ll repeatedly hit the dirt this year.
Less talky, more viewy.

Even after two decades, the Repsol livery of Honda still takes my breath away!
Never liked it much myself!
Reminds me of the golden era of PC games like Moto GP and GP500…I had a celeron D :p
I had the P4, could never control the motorcycles in games, always played NFS 🙂
