The debates are already getting heated in the office – even before the Castrol oil cools in the engine and the coffee machine finishes brewing the first cup. That can only mean one thing: it is almost time for the Allianz Malaysia Motorcycle of The Year Awards (MMOTY). We are thrilled to announce that MMOTY 2026 is officially on the horizon—and this year, we are handing the megaphone to you. Yes, we are happy to unveil the People’s Choice Award. Since last year, our panel of experts—led by our Managing Editor, Keshy Dhillon—has had the tough job of picking the winners. They have tested, torqued, and critiqued everything from pint-sized cubs to litre-class superbikes to determine what truly deserves the crown. But 2026 is the year we let you, our readers and followers, to do the talking. Introducing the Inaugural People‘s Choice Award We know that the soul of Malaysian biking does not just live in the dyno charts or spec sheets; it lives in the hearts of the riders. That is why we are ecstatic to announce a brand new category for 2026: The People‘s Choice Award. How will it work? Simple. Just log on to moty.com.my (add link, open in new tab), register and vote for your favourite motorcycle from the list provided. Home We want to hear from the Sunday riders, the daily commuters, the lepak legends at the mamak, track junkies, and the hardcore tourers. Do you think the latest and cool modern classic deserves the spotlight? Has the new wave of Chinese imports converted you? Or does the sheer versatility of a Japanese middleweight have your vote? Or the unmistakable rumble of a V-Twin? Or the blood red bike that gets your blood pumping by just looking at it? Tell us. The nominees will be drawn from every segment, and the winner will be the bike that receives the most love from the people who matter most: you. The countdown to the Allianz Malaysia Motorcycle Of The Year 2026 has officially begun. Get your riding gear ready, polish your keyboard for voting, and prepare to make your voice heard.
