The truth is that it is difficult for a biker to assess with some objectivity the importance of one model or another. As much as one tries to be impartial, in the end one’s own tastes or the greater or lesser affinity with a brand will end up tipping the balance in favor of certain options. If the eventual judge doesn’t like the custom ones -to give an example- it will be difficult for a motorcycle of this style to enter the list. And the same will happen if you prefer Japanese brands to European ones, to continue with the same example.

And it is normal because the motorcycle is experienced in an extraordinarily passionate way and you tend to value it more with your heart than with a cold mind.

That is why we have asked an artificial intelligence, a machine devoid of feelings and prejudices -at least to this day and despite the fact that the bad predictions of the doomsayers who ensure that AI will destroy the human being come true- to value What have been the 10 most important motorcycles in history.

Normally, models that have brought about an absolute revolution in technique, design or the market would tend to be put on this list. However, on this occasion, it is important to note that we do not know the criteria on the basis of which artificial intelligence has decided the ten models.

On the other hand, it is also significant to highlight that the results have not arrived in chronological order, but exactly in the one in which we reproduce them. Finally, it should also be noted that the explanation that accompanies each model is the one that ChatGPT provides to justify its choice without having added or deleted anything at all.

Regarding the final result, without a doubt, the presence on the list of some models is fully justified by their real historical importance -such as the first Harley-Davidson, the Vespa, the CB 750 or the Ducati 916- while others are more questionable.

With this, we are not saying that the rest are not great motorcycles, but rather that we believe that their historical relevance is less. Artificial intelligence seems to have been governed for their choice, in these cases, more by performance criteria than technical or aesthetic. In any case, this is the list that we present below.
