The Honda Navi is the latest motorcycle from Big Red, and the entire ethos of the pint-sized machine is that its equally sized $1,807 price tag won’t break the bank.
Visually similar to the Honda Grom, the new Honda Navi is the latest to the Japanese brand’s miniMoto lineup, though it breaks tradition by using a 109cc single-cylinder four-stroke engine, shared with the Honda Activa 110 scooter model.
The Ducati Streetfighter V4 is already a pretty bonkers machine when it comes to “daily riders” that are just as comfortable on the street as they are on the track.
The 205hp on tap seems to come in waves as the V4 engine revs and revs and revs, as you hold onto dear life from the sheer wind force hitting your body.
If you have never experienced this, we recommend it as one of life’s simple pleasures. Like drinking an ice cold Mountain Dew on a hot summer’s day. But we digress…
How do you take a potent machine and crank it up to 11? You give it the “SP” treatment, in the form the 2022 Ducati Streetfighter V4 SP.
After many rumors and some obvious teasers, the folks in Bologna, Italy have finally unveiled the Ducati Streetfighter V2 model for 2022.
The recipe here is simply: take the Ducati Panigale V2 and give it the styling cues of the Streetfighter V4 (sans wings).
The Yamaha MT-10 is an underrated motorcycle, that isn’t helped by its polarizing “Johnny 5” styling cues. It’s fun, it’s powerful, and it’s affordable.
For many years after its initial debut, you couldn’t go wrong putting an MT-10 in your garage. But then time marched on.
Yamaha let the MT-10 languish for too long without an update, as its European competitors began to up their ante, offering more feature-packed streetfighters to the segment.
For the 2022 model year though, the tuning fork brand is hoping that sport riders will once again remember that Yamaha has a horse in this race, and that the MT-10 is once again the bargain-buy it used to be.
Getting a modest restyling and a bevy of key updates, the 2022 Yamaha MT-10 is certainly worth a look.
I’m sitting in the airline lounge at JFK right now, waiting to hop across the pond to ride the new Aprilia Tuareg 660 in Italy, and I was thinking to myself how weird it is at this stage that we don’t have any proper photos of the Aprilia Tuareg 660.
Well, the minds in Noale must have been picking up what I was putting down, because there was a dump of high-resolution photos of the Tuareg 660 put on their press site today.
For $12,000, the 2022 Aprilia Tuareg 660 puts out 80hp from its parallel-twin engine, and tips the scales at 449 lbs at the curb.
When we published our story about the Ducati Multistrada V4 Pikes Peak, we only had a few photos to share with our readers, which of course is not the Asphalt & Rubber way.
It’s a new month now, and we aim to make amends. Accordingly, here is an absurdly large gallery of super-high resolution photos of the street-focused adventure bike, for your viewing pleasure.
Aprilia’s 660 platform is making quite a splash, with the RS 660 dominating the MotoAmerica twins cup field, and the Tuono 660 offering an affordable, yet potent, offering for street riders.
Now, the next installment of the 660cc parallel-twin platform is ready for two-wheeled enthusiasts, as the Aprilia Tuareg 660 is set for its international unveiling (we’ll be riding the middleweight dual-sport in Italy in a week’s time).
With that debut imminent, details about the bike are coming in, most notably its price tag, which for the US market will be a cool $11,999 MSRP (add $600 if you want the Indaco Tagelmust color option).
BMW Motorrad’s venerable K1600 platform is getting an update for the 2022 model year, which means we have new BMW K1600B, BMW K1600 Grand America, BMW K1600GT, and BMW K1600GTL motorcycles to talk about today.
While such news would usually be a lot to process, the Germans have made it easy for us, as all four of the K1600 models share in their revisions to BMW’s six-cylinder engine, which is now Euro5 compliant.
Ducati is in the middle of its months long teaser/unveiling program for its 2022 model year machines, and tomorrow morning marks our third installment.
Lucky for us, the Italians have dropped enough hints on what we are about to see, though ironically some of the key details still allude us.
The 1,084cc parallel-twin engine in the Honda Africa Twin 1100 is a sweetheart of a motor, and so it doesn’t surprise us to see Honda using it on bikes like the Honda Rebel 1100.
Punchy, linear, and smooth, the twin-cylinder power plant is good for a variety of applications, and it looks like Big Red is about to give it one more additional duty.
Teasing a “new touring era” of motorcycles on YouTube today, Honda is most definitely getting us ready for what will be called the NT1100X in the European market.
Two years ago, we saw the KTM 1290 Super Duke R getting a bevy of upgrades for the 2020 model year. Then last year, the KTM 1290 Super Duke RR broke cover, with no shortage of go-fast parts for 2021.
Now, we are getting ready for next year’s machines, and our Bothan spies have been busy searching for clues for what we could see during the new bike season.
With that, we can confirm that “The Beast” will get another upgrade, coming as the 2022 KTM 1290 Super Duke R EVO.
