The Atlas represents Norton's first serious attempt at entering one of motorcycling's most fiercely contested segments, and perhaps its clearest statement yet about where the reborn British marque is headed under TVS ownership.

SYM’s latest parallel-twin maxi-scooter is powered by a 508cc engine that's good for 45 hp and 36.8 lb.ft of peak torque, and will make you question whether getting a motorcycle is even worth it anymore.

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.

For years, the maxi-scooter conversation has started and ended with one name: the Suzuki Burgman. Now, Taiwanese scooter manufacturer Sanyang Motorcycle is looking to challenge that status quo with the Cruisym 400.

I wouldn’t blame you if you haven’t heard of Great Wall Motor Company by now. But you probably have heard about Souo S2000, the monstrous eight-cylinder, two-liter cruiser bike from China. Now it’s reportedly coming to the US.

Suzuki's beautiful new crossover-styled, sport touring SV-7GX takes the hugely popular SV650's legacy forward. It dares to take on the likes of the hugely popular Triumph Tiger Sport 660, Kawasaki Versys 650, and the Yamaha Tracer 7 in Europe.

After the retro-styled CB1000F was introduced to the lineup last month, a third bike has now broken out that’s based on the Hornet. The CB1000GT sports tourer comes with the same reliable bodywork, but gains some serious touring credentials.

While many ebikes will provide assist for your outward commute, and possibly back home too, options decrease for weekend trekkers. Following the long-range Titan fat-tire ride, Fiido has now launched a triple-battery tourer called the Nomads.

With so many small-capacity motorcycles coming out of India at the moment, standouts can be difficult to spot. But every once in a while, a moto comes along that's interesting enough to break through the noise. The Apache RTX could just be that moto.

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.
