Told you we need a horizontal picture, and that yours was a vertical one. What did you expect?

Finally all the magazines are going to stop with the pressure in anticipation, as we're about to start the vote for the prestigious Motorcycleriders.net Bike Of The Year for 2025. Here are our 9 valid submissions: @boboneleg and his clean Suzuki DR650SE in lush British fields: @Buckster and his faithful Harley Davidson FLHX Street Glide, visiting the Scottish Christmas tree @JustaPor's Honda CB750 Hornet looking menacing in the Portuguese urban jungle: @MooN's Triumph Tiger 800XC, the best looking red Triumph touring in the French countryside: @Nute and his exotic Indian FTR1200, perfect blend of American sporty VTwin and historic British location: @Pedro, my own BMW R1200GSA, in it´s environment exploring the Sahara's landscapes: @Saul's mean and increasingly clean Triumph 900 Sprint, a labour of love and the perfect example of Britain's finest: @Sofia's beloved Triumph Speed Triple R, enjoying the perfect Douro (Portugal) road and landscape: @Vamana Gupta's KTM 990 Adventure, shiny and exploring Canada's dirt roads: We've got 9 entries, and you have 1 vote. If the voting is too scattered I will delete all but the 3 top voted entries by the 29th so that we can refine it and get a clear winner. Voting will close on the 31st at 21:00.

Right, we've got 9 entries, I'll start the vote in a bit.

First thing you've said that makes sense.

Going to choose this one for my entry Closing submissions in a few hours!

It’s because of comments like that you were elected twat of the year.

Submissions end tomorrow.

Undecided between these, but for now it’s the one with the camels

That's vertical. That's horizontal. Nicely done, Marcel!

I ended up giving mine a wash, and a 30 minute ride around the neighborhood too warm it up and get the water out of the nooks.

Here is the picture submission thread for Bike Of The Year 2025. Anyone can enter regardless of this year's BOTM previous winners. You can enter one horizontal picture of a bike you currently own, out on a ride in 2025. Don't worry about cleaning up the thread if you post more than one picture, I will consider the last one you post. On the 27th's afternoon/evening the vote will start, and submissions will have ended.

Spending Christmas with my mum and my brother, just us three tonight. Day after tomorrow meeting with Sofia for a few days, and would like to take the bike and spend a full day to get there. Thinking of washing it in a bit, it's dirty from rain on the motorway and it's sunny out, but chilly so might not do it. I'm embarrassed to be on the same forum as @Saul

What makes you think the other one someone else is selling for cheap won't have the same issues?

That’s like the water deciding not to be wet

There was only ever going to be a sure winner, but you weren’t nominated.
