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.
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.
Honda is once again offering the CB350C as a Special Edition in India for the 2026 model year. The top version costs 204,700 rupees (approx. 1,875 euros / 2,135 US dollars) and differs from the cheaper variants mainly in its looks.
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.
Seven teams from around the world have each rebuilt a Scrambler for Triumph Originals 2026, from a big-bore supermoto to a bike wearing deliberate patina. A public vote running until 22 September, combined with an international jury, decides who takes the title Triumph Original 2026.
Honda sends the NT1100 into the 2027 model year with two new paint finishes. Nothing changes technically, it still matches the state of the major 2025 update.
TVS is bringing its first own adventure tourer to Europe and starts in Italy in November 2026. The A2-compliant RTX 300 comes in two versions and is already better equipped in base trim than the Indian entry model.
For the 2027 model year, Kawasaki is bringing the Ninja H2 back with a heavily revised supercharged engine that meets the Euro 5+ emissions standard. In Germany the supersport bike starts at 32,500 euros (around 37,500 US dollars), and the limited H2 Carbon reaches dealers as early as October 2026.
CFMoto brings its largest adventure model to North America as the Ibex 950. Behind the new name sits the familiar 1000MT-X, but price and positioning differ from the European market.
Benda is bringing the Rock 707 cruiser to European dealers from mid-September and is asking 9,999 euros in Germany. The 692 cc V-twin comes with an electronically controlled clutch, twin-chamber air suspension and a seat height that drops by 30 millimetres at a standstill.
Royal Enfield has unveiled the Himalayan 440 in India and is asking less money for it than the industry had expected. The air-cooled enduro replaces the discontinued Himalayan 411, but for now it stays confined to its home market.
At the Turin Motor Show, Suzuki presented a special series of the GSX-R1000R finished entirely in black and built just ten times. The price is 21,690 euros (approximately 25,160 US dollars), and the machine can only be ordered through the manufacturer online shop.
Model year 2027 begins earlier than usual, with the first machines appearing in price lists and at dealers as early as the summer of 2026. This overview page collects every confirmed and announced motorcycle release for 2027 and is updated continuously.
