The arduous task to test 50 motorcycles in two days


At the end of last week, days 13 and 14, happened on the proving ground of Pirelli, Sumaré, São Paulo State, the vote of motorcycles motorcycle of the year contest finalists of the Duas Rodas magazine.


The worlds largest motorcycle contest elects the best releases of the last 12 months, you must have at least three competitors in each category.  You can also participate in the "Bike of the year" from previous year and/or category most in demand, if the number of launches is not enough.

Picking up all the information from Honda GL 1800 Gold Wing


For the second consecutive year had the opportunity to join this select group of journalists who had a "difficult task" to test and vote in 50 different categories 12 bikes, in two days. "Difficult" because the level of the bikes is getting better, and in some categories it was difficult to appoint a winner.


The questions on which we have 5 to 10 notes were: engine, suspension, brake, Comfort, Manoeuvrability, Design and Cost-Benefit.  The latter weighed to improve or worsen the average of several of them.


Besides me, the jury was composed by Arthur boiler (Infomoto Agency), Celso Martinez, (Canal Nostalgia), Cicero (Duas Rodas magazine), Leandro Mello (Program Auto Sport/the Duas Rodas magazine), Roberto Demarco (newspaper O Globo) and Téo Mascarenhas (O Estado de Minas).  The public can also participate by voting via the magazines website.  The result will be announced on the evening of 24 October.  Stay tuned!
