A good two years after its premiere in Milan, the KTM 1390 Super Duke GT is about to go on sale. At the same time, ahead of EICMA 2026, KTM is showing what changes for 2027 on the Super Duke R, the small Adventure models and the singles.
Kawasaki is giving the KLE 500 a bigger sibling with 70 hp, and it is clearly focused on long tours rather than off-road sport. Even the base version comes with cruise control and traction control, while the SE adds a quickshifter, a colour TFT display and tubeless spoked wheels, among other things.
Ultraviolette has launched the X-47 Venom in India, the first motorcycle on the new 100-volt VX-100 platform. Compared with the X-47 Crossover, it is lighter, goes further and, despite lower wheel torque, sprints to 100 km/h 2.2 seconds faster.
Triumph has significantly reworked the Tiger 1200 for 2027: all four variants now run a 19-inch front wheel, Bosch radar and suspension that lowers itself at a standstill. The triple makes 8 hp more, and prices in Germany start at 21,395 euros.
Royal Enfield is bringing the anniversary Classic to market for the brand’s 125th birthday, priced at 8,090 euros in Germany. Only 125 units are planned for all of Europe, with sales through dealers starting on October 29, 2026.
Benelli is launching the TRK 552X in India as the successor to the TRK 502X. This model is not coming to Europe, where the TRK 602 X takes over with the same base engine.
Aprilia is saying goodbye to Phillip Island, where MotoGP races for the last time this weekend, with a numbered special edition of the RS 660. The technology is unchanged; the difference lies in the livery, a victory plaque and the equipment.
Yamaha brings the MT-125 visually into line with the larger Hyper Naked models MT-07 and MT-09. Under the new bodywork, the familiar technology carries over, and the price in Germany is 5,949 euros.
Honda sends the CBR600RR into the 2027 model year with brake calipers and ABS from the Fireblade. There is also a redesigned front end, a larger display and no fewer than three HRC race kits for the track.
Honda is bringing the CBR500R Four to Europe for the 2027 model year, placing a four-cylinder sports bike alongside the familiar twin-cylinder CBR500R. The E-Clutch comes as standard, and there is also a factory version for the A2 licence.
Yamaha sends the XSR900 GP into the 2027 model year with the new Legend Blue livery. It recalls Christian Sarron and his Sonauto Yamaha, on which the Frenchman became world champion in 1984.
Yamaha is launching the XSR900 for the 2027 model year in a new livery called Neon White, which recalls the pink YZF 750R from the 1990s. Engine, chassis and electronics, on the other hand, carry over unchanged.
With the F 450 RR, BMW is launching the third member of its new 450 family and entering the A2 supersport class. The twin-cylinder engine is familiar from the GS and R, but the chassis, ergonomics and design are tailored to country roads and the race track.
Ducati is updating the Panigale V4 for the 2027 model year with changes to the engine, frame, gearing and electronics. On the Vallelunga circuit, the new version is said to be an average of 0.4 seconds per lap faster than its predecessor.
With the Versys 900, Kawasaki introduces a new crossover model between the Versys 650 and Versys 1100. It has the four-cylinder from the Z900, a new trellis frame and, for the first time in the Versys family, radar-based rider assistance systems.
Ducati is updating its Desmo450 MX and Desmo450 MX Factory motocross models for model year 2027 with lessons learned from racing. New features include shorter gearing, reinforced components and, for the first time, a dedicated suspension setup for the US market.
Kawasaki is sending the Ninja ZX-10R and the limited ZX-10RR into the 2027 model year without technical changes. New is a black paint scheme for the base model, and prices and timing have already been confirmed for the UK.
Triumph has announced four new motorcycles by December 2026 and has already set fixed dates for all of them. After the Bonneville T40 come the Tiger 1200, the all-new Street Triple 798 and the Tiger 900, each with a revised or new engine.
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.
