All motorcycle media had united together before agreed to divide the test into 2 sessions which are the Theoretical Session and the Test Ride Session. The Theoretical Session; each individual motorcycle will be judged based on its specification by the technical test team including faculty of teachers who are the master in motoring business. The judging criteria are based on the following topics namely performance, safety, equipment and special technique along with the environmental concern which is of interesting worldwide. For the Test Ride Session; GPI receives a good collaboration from various motorcycle business columnists and test riders. In order to rotate the test bikes equally during the execution of the test ride, these test riders are divided into a group of 4 persons each. This helps the scoring result to be at the highest accuracy possible. On behalf of the core organizer, Grand Prix International Company Limited has picked the Kangkrajan Circuit, Petchburi province as the test venue. There are two main stations to grab the most out of each bike. Those stations are determined to see how well the bike performs which includes acceleration test, handling test, nimbleness test, suspension test and braking test. An additional score will be given for the design as well. After the test of all 22 models is finished, each test rider group will have a meeting before submitting the scorecard to the central referees, which of course every step is being taken with honesty. WWW.BIKEOFTHEYEARTHAILAND.COM Once both tests from the Theoretical Session and the Test Ride Session are completed, the expert referees will combine the score acquired from both sessions and solve out for the Bike Of The Year. You can check the result on the next page. The result will be officially announced at the 31st Bangkok International Motor Show. Objectives 1.

The motorcycle’s history was beginning in the late 19th century. This kind of vehicle is the next step of the “safety bicycle” which is the bicycle that have the same size wheel. The first invented motorcycle is a very simple concept. At that time, the engineers have an idea to combine a motorized machine to the bicycle frame. After the century changed to the 20th century, the innovation in motorcycle manufacturing began to spring, start from the frame, engines, shape of the body and added the fuel tank and gearboxes to the engines. However, at that time, the shape of the motorcycle still similar to the bicycle complete with the pedal itself.

With the increasing number of years, many motorcycle brands have begun to emerge starting from Europe (German, British, and Italy) and America then continued to Japan and innovations on the development of motorbikes continued until now (Hunt, et al. 2015).
