Among all the flap of EICMA, with new models being released and concept bikes teased, some other news came out—KTM’s financial problems are reaching a crisis point. KTM has been dealing with money problems seemingly ever since they got tied up with MV Agusta; the first serious signs of trouble came last fall, when KTM’s parent company, Pierer AG, announced significant cutbacks in their Euro…

CMG Staff — Wed, 13 Nov 2024 06:56:02 +0000

If any company was unlikely to create a race-winning off-road bike on their first try, you’d think it would be Aprilia. The Italian company has made a lot of high-performance roadracing machines over the years, but they are not known for their dirt prowess. But they have been winning races this year, a lot of them, thanks to their new Tuareg 660 adventure bike, and now that race experience is…

Ever since the Ninja 400 replaced the Ninja 300, Kawasaki fans have been asking for a Versys 400 to replace the Versys 300—and they haven’t had that wish granted. But now, from what we saw teased at EICMA, they may be getting the equivalent of a Versys 500… or maybe something else. Although Kawi hasn’t really said anything about it officially, we got the following photos from EICMA themselves…

Honda announced minor updates to its value-menu CL500 scrambler and XL750 Transalp adventure bike at EICMA this week. Neither machine has been on the market for very long, only a few months here in Canada, so the changes to each bike are minor. The CL500’s changes are mostly skin-deep. As Honda’s press release says, “Its head-turning style has been amped up for 25YM with two new colours…

Enter The Honda GB350S (To Europe)

CMG Staff — Wed, 06 Nov 2024 15:54:57 +0000

EICMA is a constant reminder that the rest of the world gets interesting bikes we’ll never ride in Canada. The Honda GB350S is probably another example of this—although there’s one good reason we might never see it here. Honda’s GB350S is a mash-up of the basic mechanics of their made-in-India CB350 with styling and a name borrowed from the old GB500, a single-cylinder Brit bike knock-off that…

Ducati has punted its 959 engine and introduced a new 890cc V2 powerplant, with significant changes, and installed that engine into new Streetfighter and Panigale models. The new V-twin engine doesn’t use Desmo-style valves, the first V-twin from Ducati like this. It does, however, have a new cam phasing system and lots of other internal trickery that gets the weight down to under 60 kg for the…
