Sportsbikes

Barely a decade ago, CFMoto was largely viewed as a budget-focused Chinese manufacturer building practical commuter bikes and ATVs. Fast forward to today, and it's preparing to field a V4 superbike capable of brushing against the 200-mph barrier.

It seems small-bore motorcycles are finally being given a fair shot in the USA. Kawasaki is the latest bikemaker to reintroduce an entry-level sports bike to its American lineup, with its Ninja 300 making a comeback after nearly a decade.

QJ Motor's SRK 125 R is a proper entry-level sport bike that debuted last year. Now, it looks like brand wants to spruce things up, with an updated trim and one very noticeable addition … Winglets. Is that stretching things too far?

Bimota remains one of motorcycling’s most uncompromising niche manufacturers. The Italian bikemaker has never chased volume, producing motorcycles in extremely limited numbers with obsessive attention to detail. And this one follows the same ideology.

For years, the Kawasaki ZX-4RR has been the go-to choice in the 400cc supersport segment. With QJMotor launching the SRK 421 RR, can the Chinese bikemaker grab a share of the pie?

The KTM 990 RC R was first released as a road-legal race replica in late Spring 2024. It was the brand’s financial woes that delayed the project, but with KTM now having resumed production for a while, the 990 RC R finally breaks cover.

Honda has sent motorcycle enthusiasts into a state of frenzy by revealing the CB500 Super Four retro standard and CBR500R Four sportbike at this year's CIMAMotor show in Chongqing, China. Both models are scheduled to launch in early 2026.

CFMoto is not resting on its laurels, having just recently revealed its first-ever inline-four sports motorcycle. The Chinese bikemaker has just revamped its lineup for America with some exciting motos that make the brand hard to ignore.

CFMoto has unveiled the all-new 2026 750SR-S, which becomes its first inline-four motorcycle. The 749cc motor produces 110 hp and 59 lb.ft of torque – not exactly groundbreaking numbers. But it will be incredible value for money, typical of CFMoto.

What started as a one-off has ended up as a limited production run moto of nine units – and they’re all for sale at $44,900 each. This iconic Ducati 821 is draped in polished aluminum, all without any visible fasteners or mounting points.

CFMoto recently revealed images of its new sportbike, the 750SR-R, and the renders showed what looks like a seatbelt, which fits in nicely with the patent CFMoto filed last year – the first-ever bike with a seatbelt could be just around the corner.

It's been ten long years since Yamaha launched the MT-09, an accessible, affordable and very naughty nakedbike, whose 847 cc triple motor put concentrated fun exactly where street riders need it. Now, there's finally a fully-faired R9 sportsbike.
