Honest reviews, sharp guides, and the week in motorcycles.
Ducati bins the old 937 twin and drops its all-new 890cc V2 into the Hypermotard. The result is 120 hp, a claimed 13 kg shed, and, for the first time, an A2-legal supermoto with genuine Panigale attitude. Here is why the fourth-generation Hyper matters.
A wooden barrel, a vintage Indian Scout, and a rider circling a vertical wall with no net and no harness. The Wall of Death is over a century old and still one of the most extraordinary things you can watch a motorcycle do.
BMW has rebuilt its naked boxer from the ground up. The 2026 R 1300 R brings 145 hp, a lighter chassis, and the first Dynamic Suspension Adjustment on a production bike. This is the sharpest R yet.
With the 675SR-R sportbike and 675NK naked, CFMoto has aimed a home-grown inline-triple squarely at the Triumph Trident and Daytona 660. On paper, and at the price, it lands hard.

“The ZX-6R is the last of a dying breed, and it still delivers the high-revving, hard-charging supersport thrill that made the class great. It is showing its age on electronics, but as a pure riding experience it remains hard to beat.”
“The CB1000F is Honda doing heritage properly: a real litre-class inline-four with modern rider aids, wrapped in honest CB750F styling at a price that undercuts most rivals. One of the most likeable retros of the year.”
“The Daytona 660 revives a great name as a road-first supersport, and it absolutely nails the brief. It looks the part, sounds glorious and stays comfortable all day, and at its price it is one of the smartest sportbikes you can buy.”
“The Z900RS is that rare retro that backs its beautiful looks with a genuinely brilliant motorcycle underneath. Smooth, torquey, planted and exquisitely finished, it is the modern classic we would spend our own money on.”
The supersport class is reborn. These are the best middleweight supersport motorcycles of 2026, from road-first triples and twins to the last of the screaming 600s.

He broke more bones than any human should survive, cleared buses and canyons in a star-spangled leather suit, and made a whole generation believe a motorcycle could fly. This is the story of Evel Knievel, and why the myth still lands harder than the jumps ever did.
Twenty-five years after the first Brutale rewrote what a naked bike could look like, MV Agusta marks the anniversary with an all-new 931cc triple, a fresh frame, and a 300-unit Serie Oro that launches an entire new generation. Here is what the numbers, and the jewellery, actually mean.
In 1971 a surf-film director, a Hollywood star and a documentary about racing on dirt did something no advertisement ever managed. It made ordinary people want to ride. More than fifty years on, this is the story of On Any Sunday and why it still matters.
BMW resurrects the bike that invented the big adventure genre. The R 12 G/S pairs a 109 hp air-cooled boxer with a 21-inch front wheel and real long-travel suspension, a heritage scrambler that turns out to be a genuine dirt bike in disguise.
A rowdy July weekend in a small California town, a staged magazine photo, and one leather-jacketed movie star. The tangled true story of how the outlaw biker image was born, and why a Triumph, not a Harley, sat under the most famous rebel in cinema.

Yamaha drops its beloved 890cc CP3 triple into a dedicated supersport chassis with Brembo Stylema brakes and a full six-axis IMU. The YZF-R9 is the middleweight sportbike the R6 always pointed toward, reborn for the real world.
