- A list of the top 10 bike review videos and text reviews of 2021
The year 2021 may have not been as action-packed when it came to being out and about, and doing what we love the most - riding motorcycles. Nevertheless, there have been some pretty interesting and entertaining motorcycles that we've had the chance to review during the year. Despite restrictions and safety concerns due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which meant we had to have our guard up, be distanced from people, 2021 did have its stellar moments when it came to riding motorcycles. These aren't necessarily the 'best' bikes in their respective segments, but bikes which we really enjoyed riding and reviewing, when we did get the chance to do so.
