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.

In many works, it is read that the IOC later met to decide which events were Olympic and which were not. This is not correct and no decision has ever been made. No discussion of this item can be found in the account of any Session.
