Team-BHP 2-Wheeler of the Year, 2023

It’s only ALL-NEW bikes that are included in our 2WOTY award. That excludes the “refreshed” headlamp & tail-light versions, facelifts and engine variants.

Vote for the Team-BHP 2-Wheeler of the Year 2023

It’s time to look back at the year and cast your vote for The Team-BHP Two Wheeler of the Year. This is where YOU – the BHPian – will choose our Two-Wheeler of 2023. The Team-BHP 2WOTY is by owners & enthusiasts, not advertorial experts & paid jury members. Just as well since us bike owners are the ones who pay the industry’s bills.

Listed below are the launches of 2023.

• The contenders have been sorted in a price-ascending order (cheapest first).
• It’s only ALL-NEW bikes that are included in our 2WOTY award. That excludes the “refreshed” headlamp & tail-light versions, facelifts and engine variants.
• This is a public poll. Other BHPians will be able to see what bike you have voted for.
• Models costing over ~20 lakh rupees and a few niche players have been excluded from our 2WOTY. Reason = Low relevance & commitment to the Indian marketplace.
• Note that the list does not include the bikes that will be launched in December. The reason being that it would be a new product of which neither we nor BHPians would’ve taken a test ride to form an opinion. There would be no ownership reviews or posts, hence such bikes would be included next year.

• As has always been the case, we insist there will only be ONE Team-BHP Two Wheeler of the Year. Why? Simply because we don’t believe in handing out an award for the “headlamp of the year” or “footpeg of the year” (as examples). Some award ceremonies have 25 awards to ensure there’s one for each bike manufacturer (aka advertiser) in India. We have no such inclination, and will only focus on the best, most important new two-wheeler of 2023.

Looking forward to your votes, and also the reasoning behind your choice. Thanks!
