The MCN Awards is designed to celebrate the very best in biking. The MCN awards recognise the very best that motorcycling has to offer, from the most talented and greatest racers in the world, to the greatest men, machines, products and dealers that keep the industry thriving.
The good news this year is that everything out there in the biking world for 2010 will automatically be entered into it's relevant award category, so no need to write an entry! As well as our independant panel of judges we will also be drawing on the results of the biggest biking survey, MCN Biking Britain conducted in 2010, where MCN readers have rated the best of the best that they own and use.
The winners will be published in the MCN November 17th issue.
These are the machines and manufacturers that brightened and broadened our horizons the most in 2009.
