India is not a country known for motorcycle racing – or indeed high-performance motorcycles. But Bangalore company Ultraviolette wants to start pushing the envelope, and it's announced its intent to go racing with its new F99 development platform.

Back in 2020, Cleveland CycleWerks revealed a retro-modern electric motorcycle called the Falcon. The company co-founder splintered the project into a new startup in August of that year, and now the Falcon has taken flight as the District.

One year shy of its 20th birthday, the V-Strom swaps its trademark V-twin for Suzuki’s brand new 776-cc inline twin, and puts on a 21-inch front wheel. The result is an adventure touring package that can venture far from paved territory.

Sondors caused much excitement last year with the launch of a $5,000 electric motorcycle named the Metacycle. It's taken a little longer than anticipated, but the company has announced that deliveries have now started for customers across the US.

After 12 years of absence from Honda’s lineup, the Transalp returns based on the same engine platform as the 2023 CB750 Hornet. It's designed for all-terrain performance and features a lush electronic arsenal similar to that of the Africa Twin 1100.

German company Vitesco believes emission laws will start forcing motorcycle companies to use hybrid power, and has presented an example of a hybridized Husky at this year's EICMA expo to give us an idea of how performance and weight will be affected.

Suzuki has hit EICMA with a brand-new 776 cc parallel twin motor, aiming to take on the middleweight market where a lot of the fun's at these days. The first streetbike to use it is the new GSX-8S, but on the spec sheet, it looks a bit undercooked.

A thousand lifetimes ago, at EICMA 2019, Aston Martin and Brough Superior teamed up on an eye-popping AMB 001 turbo sportsbike. In the post-apocalyptic wasteland of 2022, this sliver of unobtanium gets a souped-up 225-horsepower Pro stablemate.

Swedish maker of premium lightweight electric motos Cake has rolled into the EICMA 2022 motorcycle industry trade fair in Milan this week with a brand new medium-heavy model called the Bukk that's been designed for hard-but-quiet off-road riding.

The fourth gen of Triumph’s middleweight streetfighter has received a facelift, upgraded electronics, a small power boost, sharper geometry, and sees the addition of a racier Moto2 limited edition to the 2023 standard duet of Street Triple 765 R and RS.

Austrian-designed, Chinese-made electric motorcycle brand Horwin is hitting this year's EICMA motorcycle show in Milan with a super-scooter loaded to the gills with gadgetry, and a second wild concept that aims to upend traditional chassis design.

It's been a decade now since Ducati torched the rulebook and unleashed the iconoclastic Diavel on an unsuspecting market. Now the company has snipped the final thread linking the Diavel to the average cruiser, ditching its V-twin engine for a V4.

Yank Ducati's new Panigale V4 R out of its crate, replace the purely ornamental standard exhaust with a titanium Akrapovic race pipe and fill it up with a fancy "performance oil" from Shell, and you're sitting on a machine capable of 240.5 horsepower.

Ten years after the naked sportbike CB600F Hornet went out of production, Honda is plotting its return with claims of a class-leading power-to-weight ratio from its brand new 755-cc inline twin. The motor will also power the revival of the Transalp.

Part urban mobility solution and part fashion statement, the shiny Nano e-scooter looks like it was plucked straight out of sci-fi movie set in outer space, but could be coming to the streets of Earth sometime in the not so distant future.
