Indian Motorcycle has unveiled a special model based on the Chief Vintage to open the 86th Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. Just 125 units of the Sturgis SD Edition will be built worldwide, with exactly one earmarked for Germany.
Honda has shown ten motorcycles and scooters in New Delhi that will in future be built entirely in India. Seven of them are new, including two cruisers, two off-road models and an electric scooter.

For model year 2027 the US Environmental Protection Agency has certified only six Scout variants from Indian. Several models and the entire Limited +Tech trim level disappear from the range.
A covered prototype near BMW’s Munich development centre shows that the M 1300 GS is close to production readiness. Rather than a mere equipment variant, everything points to a thoroughly rebuilt GS with a clear off-road focus.
Harley-Davidson has filed trademark applications for the model names RMCR and RMXR with the US Patent and Trademark Office. That increases the likelihood that the cafe racer concept shown in February will actually become a production motorcycle.
Honda has shown a new CB 500 in India with a completely newly developed single-cylinder engine. Because the GB 500 name has long been trademarked in Europe, the model could later go on sale here as well.
With the TRK 902, Benelli enters the maxi class for the first time while staying under 9,000 euros. On the first kilometers in the Dolomites, the lavish equipment was joined by weaknesses in engine character and weight.
A prototype of the upcoming BMW S 1000 RR was spotted testing on the Nürburgring Nordschleife. The photos obtained by our editorial team reveal components that a design drawing simply can’t show.
Keeway America has launched the Benelli Tornado 550 in the United States, pricing it at an introductory $5,999 (about €5,275). In Germany, the fully-faired sportbike has already been at dealers since 2025 — albeit at a noticeably higher price.
In July 2026, a drawing surfaced that reportedly comes from a design patent BMW filed in India, showing the next S 1000 RR. Along with the image, early technical details have leaked, chief among them a claimed output of 215 hp.
Stark Future is building two strictly limited special editions of its electric off-road motorcycle. All 500 machines get a complete works suspension of the kind normally reserved for race teams.
Kove is working on a smaller sibling to the 450 Rally. New design patents reveal the 350 Rally as a street-legal variant with an entirely new bodywork.
Suzuki is bringing the Hayabusa to the US market as a 2027 model with three new colors and a white Special Edition. Technically nothing changes; the 700 US dollar (about 615 euro) surcharge buys the look alone.
Indian is expanding its touring and bagger lineup with the limited-edition PowerPlus Signature Series, featuring four elaborately painted models. Two of them pay tribute to the 250th anniversary of the United States with a red-white-and-blue look.
The CFMoto V4SR-RR has taken another development step in the wind tunnel of Pininfarina near Turin. The first completely newly developed V4 superbike from China relies on movable winglets and is aiming to join the ranks of established sport machines.
Honda is putting the four-cylinder CB400 Super Four and CBR400R with E-Clutch into series production in Japan. There’s still no commitment for Europe.
Harley-Davidson has unveiled the Deadwood, an all-black production bobber based on the Softail platform that will be sold exclusively in the United States and Canada. Priced at around $17,999 (roughly €15,780), the Deadwood combines classic bobber styling with the large Milwaukee-Eight 117 engine and an extensive electronics package.
