CFMoto is showing two new adventure bikes at EICMA 2026 that share a newly developed twin-cylinder engine. The 550MT is designed for tarmac and long tours, the 550MT-X for gravel, rocks and forest trails.

KTM surprisingly unveiled the 450 RC for the 2028 model year at EICMA 2026. The small twin-cylinder supersport bike comes with cornering ABS and adjustable WP suspension, but has nothing to do with the announced 490 range.

CFMoto has unveiled the production version of its first superbike at EICMA 2026. The V4SR-RR comes with an in-house V4 engine, more than 210 hp and movable winglets, but price and delivery date are still missing.

At EICMA 2026 in Milan, Ducati, Honda, Yamaha, Harley-Davidson and Benda have unveiled their new models for 2027. All presented motorcycles with the key figures, plus the premieres still expected.

Many major new models for 2027 were presented online before EICMA 2026, and some specs will only come after the show. Only a few manufacturers have explicitly announced something new, including KTM after a year’s break and CFMoto.

Eleven new patent filings from China reveal in detail for the first time how the V4 engine of the CFMoto V4 SR-RR is built. One of the documents also explicitly describes a turbocharged variant.

A prototype from China has gone faster than BMW claims for its world championship-winning superbike. On paper, the CFMoto V4 SR-RR therefore looks like a rival to the M 1000 RR, but one widely quoted figure distorts the comparison.

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.

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.

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.

CFMOTO’s European research and development centre is celebrating its tenth anniversary. Behind the name Modena40 is a team in Rimini that is now responsible for the design and development of almost every current model from the Chinese brand.

MV Agusta has confirmed its entry into the Italian crisis procedure Composizione Negoziata della Crisi, admitting both operational and financial difficulties. For owners and prospective buyers this raises very concrete questions about spare parts, warranty and resale value, which neither the factory in Varese nor the German sales company has answered so far.

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.

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.

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.

Bimota and electronics partner GET have revealed how the movable winglets on the KB998 Rimini work. The technology is now fitted to the road-legal model as well, but it could disappear from racing as early as 2027.

KTM boss Gottfried Neumeister has gone public with the expansion of the RC range. Alongside the 990 RC R, a 790 RC and a 490 RC are set to join the line-up.

Jorge Martinez has clearly spelled out the order of CFMoto’s racing plans. The Chinese manufacturer is to enter World Superbike first and only tackle MotoGP after that.

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.

CFMoto has filed production patents for the 250SR-R, revealing for the first time what’s hiding under the small sportbike’s fairing. Instead of the previous single-cylinder engine, a parallel-twin is set to deliver more revvy character and a punchier exhaust note.
