India has radically restructured its motorcycle tax. Triumph and KTM are responding with downsized engines, and this could eventually change the European market as well.

Honda is now taking a step in the opposite direction with a new patent, adding exactly this complexity back in. The goal is not an end in itself, but rather more precise control over power delivery, particularly in competition use.
American Honda is recalling the off-road models CRF250R, CRF250RX, CRF250RWE, CRF450R, CRF450RX, and CRF450RWE from the 2025 and 2026 model years. The handlebar clamp can cause the handlebars to rotate unexpectedly during riding.
The third CEO in six years is completely changing course. Harley-Davidson aims to grow again with more affordable models, stronger dealers, and a return to its own roots.
The Norton Manx R marks the true restart of the British heritage brand under TVS ownership. With an all-new 1,200 cc V4 engine, 206 hp, and four trim levels starting from £20,250 (approx. €23,250 / $27,440), the Manx R positions itself as a serious alternative to the Ducati Panigale V4 and BMW S 1000 RR.
Segway is launching the Xaber 300, an electric off-road motorcycle that clearly sets itself apart from the brand’s previous scooters and e-bikes. Starting May 15, 2026, the e-dirtbike will be available through authorized dealers in the United States.
The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) issued two security advisories for electric two-wheelers in April 2026.

BMW Motorrad France introduces the R 1300 GS Adventure Dark Edition, a limited special variant of BMW’s best-selling motorcycle. With Triple Black design, heated seats and alarm system, it costs 22,900 euros after customer discount — available only in France.

The KTM 450 Rally Replica returns for the 2027 model year. Limited to just over 100 units worldwide, it brings proven factory technology straight from rally competition to customers starting in July 2026.
BMW Motorrad celebrates half a century of RS models. What began in the 1950s as a racing designation on the track became synonymous with the combination of touring and sport in 1976 with the R 100 RS. The current R 1300 RS continues this tradition in its seventh boxer generation.
The MV Agusta Brutale 800 gets a second colour option with the Nero Carbonio livery. The black premium finish with red accents costs 500 euros more than the existing Rosso Ago Opaco version.
