List of motorcycles of the 1910s is a listing of motorcycles of the 1910s, including those on sale, introduced, or otherwise relevant in this period.

The 1910s has their share of expensive historic motorcycles sold at auction, especially the brands Cyclone and Flying Merkel.[2] A 1915 Cyclone Board Track Racer went for US$852,500 at an auction in 2015, one of the just 12 that survived; another of this model sold for $551,200 in 2008.[2] A 1911 Flying Merkel Board Track Racer went for $423,500 in 2015 and a 1911 Flying Merkel for $201,250 in 2011.[2] A 1911 Harley-Davidson 7D went for $283,400 in 2014.[2] The $850k for the Cyclone Board Track was the highest price yet known to be paid publicly for a motorcycle auction (of any decade).[2]
