This section provides a central overview of new motorcycles and recent developments within the market.
Classic Legends has shown the Jawa 42 Bobber in a new All Stars version. Prices start at 208,942 rupees (around 1,897 euros / 2,203 US dollars), while the technology remains unchanged.
Sam Sunderland set off from London on 5 September 2026 on his round-the-world record attempt. In the photos from the start he is apparently sitting on a Triumph Tiger 1200 that does not officially exist yet.
CFMoto turns the 675 NK into the Aspar Edition, picking up the colours of its own Moto2 and Moto3 machines. 300 units are earmarked for Germany and Austria, and technically everything stays as it is on the standard model.
The 490 RC is set to become the smallest model in KTM’s new sport range. More recent information shows that it is not based on the 450 RC sold in China, but on a purpose-developed twin-cylinder platform.
Suzuki Germany is marking its 50th anniversary with two limited-run naked bikes. The GSX-8S Special Edition and the GSX-S1000 Special Edition each come in a run of 50 units, both with retro graphics and a package of genuine accessories.
BMW Motorrad shows the R20 uncamouflaged and almost finished for the first time in an official video. Company boss Markus Flasch openly says he would like to bring the two-litre boxer’s sales launch forward.
On 2 November 2026 Yamaha will show a new model that many expect to be a Ténéré 900 with a three-cylinder engine. If it does arrive, it will face a field of five established enduros separated by around 8,000 euros in price.
Kawasaki has released a twelve-second video on its European social media channels showing nothing but the sound of a supercharged engine and the line “Return To Beyond Belief”. Together with the already known US certification data for the 2027 model year, the signs are mounting that the Ninja H2 is returning to Europe after a five-year break.
Moto Guzzi celebrates 105 years of company history with a special edition for the Stelvio, V100 Mandello, V85 Strada and V7 Stone. The grey anniversary models with yellow accents arrive in October 2026 and stay in the range only until the end of 2027.
The Spanish heritage brand Bultaco is building motorcycles again, and the first new model is called the Rally GT 300 and costs 3,999 euros. The lightweight enduro is not built in Catalonia, however, but in China, and it is based on a machine that has been available there for some time.
BMW Motorrad has filed a patent for a newly designed rear swingarm intended for the coming superbike generation. What matters here is less the shape than the process used to make the part.
The ZXMoto 820X has been granted type approval and turns out different from the model shown at EICMA in November 2025. The documents list 116 hp, 218 kg and a wheelbase well above that of the concept.
Zontes expands its 703 three-cylinder range from two to four models, placing the 703R naked bike and the 703T sport tourer alongside the familiar 703RR and 703F. From model year 2027 the entire range gets an electronic throttle, cruise control and a quickshifter that works in both directions.
Yamaha has unveiled the new YZF-R2 in India, placing a model in the 200 cc segment that sits above the R15. The combination of 26.5 hp, 149 kilograms and an electronics package with riding modes and a quickshifter would be unusually complete by European standards too.
Honda UK is launching a replica of the CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP to mark John McGuinness’s 30th TT anniversary. Fifteen road-legal units will be built at 37,730 pounds each, sold exclusively by invitation.
Yamaha has announced a presentation in Milan for 2 November and turned it into a riddle. An image showing three uneven heartbeats and a line about the rhythm of the industry have been fuelling speculation ever since.
Kawasaki carries the Meguro S1 and the W230 over into the 2027 model year unchanged. Both 233 cc retro models will now be offered only in Ebony, which means the W230 loses its previous green.
Yamaha is launching a new fully faired machine in the R series on 27 August 2026, positioned between the R15 and the R3. Pre-orders are already running, while the manufacturer is holding back official technical data until the premiere.
BMW is working on an adventure bike that slots exactly between the F 450 GS and the F 900 GS. Photos of the prototype show a 21-inch front wheel, technology from several GS ranges and a name that is still completely open.
