Motorcycle racing at the Summer Olympics

Motorcycle racing was featured in the Summer Olympic Games programme in 1900 (two events).[1] These events have generally not been classified as official,[2] although the IOC has never decided which events were "Olympic" and which were not.[3] Events involving motorized transport were later excluded from the Games.
