One of the most magnificent and terrifying steeds in motorcycledom gets its second major overhaul for 2024. The new KTM 1390 Super Duke R gets a bigger motor, a bigger tank, semi-active suspension and a savagely alien new headlight design.

Bimota has a whole new design for its wacky hub-steered front end, nearly doubling the steering range, and it's celebrating this achievement with one of the strangest production motorcycles of the year: a 200-horsepower supercharged adventure bike.

Boutique motorcycle company Langen has unveiled a stablemate to its delectable, super-lightweight 2-Stroke. The 2025 Lightspeed rocks a hard-punching 1190cc V-twin, and hits the one horsepower per kilogram mark – at least, til you sit on it.

Ducati has a new motorbike, and it's celebrating this fact with a series of photos and videos so flagrantly ribald and saucy they'd be pixelated out in Japan. I mean, look at them. In fact, forget the bike, can I buy some of this guy's talent?

Electric touring is officially on the menu ... Sort of. Evoke has built its 6061-GT electric motorcycle around the biggest battery pack ever offered in a production bike: a staggering 30-kWh monster offering more than 600 km (370 miles) of range.

Yamaha has been building eBikes for three decades and experimenting with 2WD motorcycles since 1992. A new concept to be shown at the Japan Mobility Show later this month suggests a lightweight AWD e-bike is on the cards.

One of the strangest concept bikes in all of motorcycledom has been reworked for 2023. Yamaha has unveiled a second version of its futuristic Motoroid concept, complete with a twisting swingarm, AI facial recognition, and the ability to self-balance.

The idea of a clutchless motorcycle just feels wrong to some riders. After many years trying to sell fully automatic motorcycles, Honda has come up with a "best of both worlds" E-Clutch system that lets you use or ignore the left lever as you please.

Kawasaki has managed to squeeze both a combustion engine and a full electric powertrain into its new Ninja 7 Hybrid streetbike – and it doesn't look as ungainly as you'd think. The benefits? Fuel economy, electric boost, and some other neat tricks.

Top-shelf touring motorcycles often come with full-on infotainment systems – but here's a touchscreen beauty you can plonk on any bargain-bin banger. NaviCam gives you dual dashcams, CarPlay, Android Auto, dual Bluetooth and tire pressure monitors.

Indian EV giant Ola Electric is expanding its all-electric portfolio with new cruiser, adventure and nakedbike models – and a sleek supersport called the Diamondback that aspires to push center-hub steering back into the motorcycling conversation.

Pumping up deflated tires has to be one of the most cumbersome tasks on two wheels. The electronic Mini Pump, pitched as the world’s lightest tire inflator, is just the kind of handy gadget that you’ll want to take along for the ride.
