As announced last week, BSA is back. The first motorcycle of its new era has now been revealed at the UK's Motorcycle Live show, and it's a revival of the Gold Star, one of its most famous motorcycles, which was in production from 1939 until 1963.

The messy rebirth of Norton Motorcycles seems back on track under the company's new ownership, India's TVS, and the V4SV superbike is now ready to get its pants off. The V4CR cafe racer stands ready to join the super-naked class as a street weapon.

One of the world’s leading motorcycle manufacturers of the 1950s and 60s, BSA is set to resume operations almost half a century after it went bankrupt, funded by its new owner, India’s Mahindra & Mahindra, and with a new factory under construction in England.

EICMA Milan: it's motorcyclese for Christmas, when the factory elves bring forth a bounty of gifts for the coming year – and we stand in cold, cynical judgement on their labors. Here are the bikes that have caught our attention thus far.

Zero's 2022 SR/F and SR/S electric motorcycle lineup gets a sneaky boost in battery capacity for 2022, as well as a new, cheaper SR model. But the news isn't all good – some of these bikes' features will be locked behind a new pay-to-upgrade system.

The extraordinary Crighton CR700W extracts an incredible 220 hp from a 690cc twin-rotor Wankel engine, and weighs just 129.5 kg (285.5 lb) dry for a MotoGP-level power-to-weight ratio. Its maker believes it could be the final word in combustion bikes.

Honda has turned its Africa Twin adventure machine into a sports tourer, in the most Honda way possible. The NT1100 looks quick, capable, comfortable and reliable, but does perfect engineering come at the cost of excitement?

The second model to join Triumph’s new entry-level range comes in the shape of a street adventurer and is based on the new 660 cc three-cylinder powerplant that was first introduced with the 2021 Trident roadster.

There's no bike on earth remotely like the bizarre WMC250EV, an electric land speed racer built to slash aerodynamic drag by taking the radical step of tunneling a giant hole through the middle of it. Boy does it look surreal on track in this video.

When we drove the Polaris Slingshot last year, we noted a few things that we thought could use some improvement. Well, Polaris must have listened, as the new 2021 model has a lot of updates that make it one of the funnest vehicles we’ve driven.

I'm sorry, motorcyclists. I know you've already had a bad day. Valentino Rossi has announced his retirement, and now I'm about to tell you about a set of vegan motorcycle leathers. Insult upon injury. I promise I'll try to make it fun.

A new Aprilia Tuareg 660 joins the filthier end of the middleweight adventure spectrum, bringing some parallel-twin competition to the Yamaha Tenere 700 and KTM Adventure 790 using the 660cc motor from the RS660 sportsbike and Tuono 660 nakedbike.
