Honda Motorcycles

This one’s a biggie. Honda has just posted its first annual loss since becoming a publicly traded company back in 1957. And it’s not a small number either – Honda reported a staggering net loss of US$2.7 billion for the fiscal year ending March 31.

Times are weird, and I guess weird times call for weird measures. At least, as per Honda, which thinks it's about time electric motorcycles replicated the old-school feel of gas bikes.

There probably isn’t any other bikemaker in the world that’s more synonymous with scooters than Kymco. The company has now launched its ninth model in the US – which is billed as a middleweight grand tourer.

Hint: It's not Royal Enfield. A company that produces more than 4 million motorcycles every year and has a presence in more than 90 countries across the globe, TVS is eyeing the mainstream electric motorcycle segment with the eFX 30.

Swiss engineering company Picasso has mostly made its name with super sports cars and hypercars. Now It’s come up with a flat tracker motorcycle that features an adjustable carbon frame – which makes perfect sense for flat tracking.

Ducati’s Desmo450 EDS is on the cusp of a global release. It's based on the Desmo450 MX motocrosser, powered by a 450cc single that puts out 63.5 hp and 39.5 lb-ft of torque. Plenty of power for a sub-500cc street-legal enduro!

Think mini motos, and you’d undoubtedly think about the Honda’s mini line-up: the Cub, the Monkey, the Trail, and the Grom. But what if these bikes could get even “mini-er”? Say hello to the Bluroc X-Bongo 50.

Phelon & Moore made its comeback in the two-wheeled scene only recently. It looks like the brand isn't resting on its laurels, coming up with an adventure scooter in a span of mere months since its revival. And it's coming for Yamaha and Honda.

Whether it’s internal combustion being pushed in new directions, electrification finding more convincing use cases, or brands revisiting legacy nameplates, 2026 is shaping up to be a year where companies take real risks instead of playing it safe.

Mini motos have never been about speed or the spec sheet; they’re all about approachability, reliability, and going places you’d think twice about on bigger bikes. The AJS Imber 125 is exactly that, while being cheaper than the OG, Honda Trail125.

Honda’s new patent asks one weird but very interesting question: what if motorcycles came equipped with a steering-assist system, which would help with crash avoidance – a feature most modern-day cars come with?

CFMoto has been one of the most talked-about bikemakers, and most of the plaudits have been for its adventure offerings. Now, the 1000MT-X debuts as the brand's new flagship ADV, ready to take on the established players like BMW, Ducati, and Triumph.
