Texan company Quin Design has released a remarkable flip-up, carbon fiber smart helmet for adventure and touring motorcyclists, with built-in Bluetooth communications and the ability to detect crashes and call for help when a rider's in trouble.

BMW's wacky Concept Link electric scooter from 2017 is within a few months of becoming a super futuristic-looking production bike, and this new Definition CE 04 is the last time we'll see it without mirrors and a license plate.

The premium SP variant of Yamaha's third-generation 2021 MT-09 naked triple gets higher-spec suspension, a dedicated color scheme, and goodies like cruise control as standard.

The third application of Ducati’s V4 platform gears up for adventure touring duties in the new 170-hp Multistrada V4, which is loaded with cutting-edge electronics while, surprisingly enough, ditching the desmodromic valve system.

French manufacturer Voxan can now claim to have the world's fastest electric motorcycle. Using a short airstrip instead of a salt flat, rider Max Biaggi and the 362-horsepower Voxan Wattman set no less than 11 land speed records on the weekend.

It's a major model update for Yamaha's nutty 3-cylinder street demon in 2021. The MT09 gets a bigger, punchier, more efficient motor, a totally overhauled chassis, great KYB suspension and a ton of electronic upgrades. A great bike gets a lot better.

MotoAmerica's King of the Baggers race was a crazy idea, pitting some of the least-racy motorcycles in the USA against one another around California's famous Laguna Seca racetrack in a knee-dragging, luggage-dragging, motor-popping spectacle.

This Washington-based company will build you a murdered-out, snub-nosed electric brawler of a motorcycle, at a fantastical price. It'd be the perfect bike for a post-apocalyptic hellscape, provided that hellscape still has power points to plug into.

Austrian bikes have always been world-class and prior to WW2, the Puch name was the pride of Austrian mobility. One bike in particular has emerged as an auction block star with its outstanding engineering and exceptional rarity: the Puch 800 V-four.

The middleweight adventure motorcycle segment is already showing signs of capacity creep. Two years after introducing its 790cc adventure machines, KTM has announced 890cc versions offering extra power and grunt. But will there be a weight penalty?

A new Texan startup has announced its first electric motorcycle. The awkwardly named Volcon Grunt is a fat-wheeled off-roader with a 100-mile range, and it'll soon be followed by a pair of side-by-side four-wheelers built for practicality and fun.

The original intercontinental overlander of the motorcycle world, BMW's R/GS series, has received a bunch of high-tech electronic upgrades for its 40th anniversary, giving an already well-appointed bike even more appointments for its hoard.
