Triumph brings the Bonneville name to the 400 class for the first time and presents the Bonneville T40 and T40 Black. Both models combine the familiar Bonneville style with a single-cylinder engine, cornering ABS and a round TFT display with navigation.
Chinese manufacturer ZXMoto has shown its new 1000 cc boxer as a real prototype for the first time. Liquid cooling, shaft drive, installation position and many details are strongly reminiscent of the BMW boxer.
Kawasaki is reworking the front end of the Ninja 650 for the 2027 model year, giving it an upside-down fork and radially mounted four-piston brake calipers for the first time. On top of that come a redesigned TFT display with navigation, a firmer rear spring and, in the UK, an unchanged price.
Suzuki is launching the GSX-8TT for the 2027 model year in a new red paint scheme with gold wheels. The technology remains the same, cruise control is new as an accessory, and prices vary considerably from country to country.
BRABUS, Fragment Design and DAB Motors are showing a special version of the BRABUS URBAN E electric motorcycle at ComplexCon 2026 in Los Angeles. The collector’s edition is limited to ten units, costs 53,550 euros in Germany and bears the signature of Japanese designer Hiroshi Fujiwara.
BMW expands the F 450 family with a naked bike for the A2 licence, focusing on low weight and plenty of standard equipment. The new F 450 R comes with 48 hp (35 kW), weighs 175 kg and is optionally available with a clutch that handles pulling away by itself.
Benda is bringing the Dark Flag 950 to the first European dealers from the end of November 2026. The cruiser relies on a 948 cc V4 with around 109 hp, in a class where a V2 is almost always found.
Ducati relaunches the Multistrada V4 S Grand Tour for the 2027 model year, with radar, cases, heating and a centre stand as standard. New is an automatic lowering system that drops the bike by up to 30 millimetres when coming to a stop.
CFMoto is equipping its small four-cylinder sportbike, the 500SR, with ride-by-wire and an optional electronic clutch. This eliminates exactly the weaknesses the base version had so far and improves the chances of an export launch.
KTM has confirmed its participation in EICMA 2026 in Milan and is inviting the press to a press conference in Hall 22 on 3 November. After skipping the 2025 show, the manufacturer mainly wants to present new developments in the off-road segment.
The CFMoto V4 SR-RR is turning its first laps on the race track, with riders in the saddle who will soon be racing in MotoGP. The test with the Aspar team shows how closely CFMoto links its first superbike to its own racing plans.
Honda is reportedly working on a new supersport bike with a 900 cc V3 without a compressor. The model, called the V3R 900RR, could replace the ageing CBR600RR and make Honda competitive again in the Supersport World Championship.
Ducati sends the Multistrada V4 Pikes Peak into the 2027 model year with a new livery in the style of its factory race bikes. Technically, everything stays the same, but the sporty crossover can be extensively customised straight from the factory.
At CIMA 2026 in Chongqing, Voge showed the CU-X, a power cruiser with a plug-in hybrid drive. Above all, the concept is a rolling showcase for a new technology platform that is set to find its way into production models step by step.
BMW Motorrad has released the silhouette of a new naked bike that will be unveiled on 1 October 2026 at 5 pm. Everything points to the long-awaited F 450 R, which is likely to combine the technology of the F 450 GS with the look of the S 1000 R.
An updated document from the Californian environmental agency CARB lists a new Ducati Streetfighter V4 SP for model year 2027. The track-focused version of the V4 naked bike is therefore apparently returning to the range after a one-year break.
To mark the Nürburgring’s 100th birthday, BMW Motorrad is launching the M 1000 RR, the M 1000 R and the M 1000 XR as limited special models in Nürburgring Green. Each of the three motorcycles will be built 100 times worldwide and should be available to order from 19 October 2026.
Ducati has published the full specifications and the price of the Desmo450 SM. The brand’s first race supermoto costs from 13,290 euros in Germany, weighs 109 kilograms ready to ride without fuel and reaches selected European dealers from December 2026.
With the VARG SM Sköll, Stark Future is launching a numbered special edition of its electric supermoto, of which only 500 units will be built worldwide. New are titanium parts, the full ALPHA power output and a look in which almost every component is black.
