1973 Motorsykkel-VM-sesongen

MV Agusta -teammedlemmene Phil Read og Giacomo Agostini kjempet om overlegenhet i 500cc-klassen, men sesongen ble ødelagt av dødsfallene til Jarno Saarinen og Renzo Pasolini på Monza . 500cc-rytteren Kim Newcombe ble også drept i løpet på Silverstone på slutten av sesongen. Agostini fikk sin 13. tittel i 350cc-kategorien. I 250cc vant tyske Dieter Braun kronen for Yamaha . Kent Andersson ga det japanske merket enda en tittel i 125cc selv om Kreidler dominerte i 50cc etter at Derbi falt ut av konkurransen. ]
