Ducati has just refreshed its Multistrada V4 Rally – the most off-road capable in its line of performance adventure touring motorcycles – after three years, with tech upgrades to make long journeys more comfortable and justify the higher sticker price.

It’s usually CFMoto making these kinds of headlines, but this time, an unlikely manufacturer has churned out a rather exciting motorcycle from its stable. And it might well go on to be the most exciting offering in the middleweight moto segment.

Kymco's AK 550i range has come far since its release in 2017. What was then, in essence, bold proof of the brand's technology and design has now come of age as a proper maxi scooter that boasts the ability to go long-distance touring... for $12,199.

The company behind what we called the Rolls-Royce of electric scooters has announced an interesting long-range speed pedelec called the SP01. The touring ebike sports a 1,000-watt mid-drive motor, Shimano gears and front squish.

Suzuki is reportedly preparing to add two new sport-touring models to its middleweight lineup: the 2026 Suzuki GSX-8T and GSX-8TT. This info comes from updated model certification documents submitted to the California Air Resources Board (CARB).

BMW's R1300 boxer twin family gets two new members, in the R 1300 RS and R 1300 RT. They replace the outgoing R 1250 RS and the R 1250 RT, respectively. And as you’d expect, there’s plenty of farkles on the touring bikes.

The Honda NT1100 has been a roaring success since its debut in 2023, but that's been limited to markets outside the US. Now though, Honda has just confirmed the sports tourer for America - and at a bargain price point too.

BMW's GT and RT motorcycles have a legendary status. They are terrific tourers that offer everything one could ask for – but if there’s one thing I’d change about them, it would be their MSRPs. Enter the sub-$12,000 Spanish Mitt GT-K.

Commuter ebikes are a great way to get to work, but you may want something a bit more versatile and durable if you're heading over some rough. Husqvarna's 2024 Grand Pather model is described as its "most adaptable and innovative touring ebike" yet.

After catering to most ebike riders with the e-Omnia range last year, veteran Italian marque Bianchi is repeating the formula with five new e-Vertic models for riders looking to tackle "the most adrenalin-soaked trails to the mean streets of town."
