Every year we post the latest supermoto offering from Husqvarna, even though the Swedish brand makes only incremental changes to its track-only, tire-shredding, dirt bike with street wheels.
Why? Because the world needs more supermotos in our lives, and right now Husqvarna is leading the pack when it comes to track-ready motards. As such, here is the 2022 Husqvarna FS 450.
We already had a pretty good idea what to expect from the 2022 KTM RC390, but that perhaps only whet our appetite for the pint-sized road bike.
Getting the full monty today, we can see explicitly what changes the Austrians have brought to the KTM RC390, which will debut in the United States in March 2022.
Triumph is not being bashful about its upcoming new models, teasing today what will be the 2022 Triumph Tiger Sport 660 adventure bike.
The first piece of Ducati’s World Superbike puzzle was revealed today, as the Italian brand is welcoming back Alvaro Bautista to its ranks for the 2022 season.
Alvaro Bautista is set to replace Scott Redding (who is headed to the BMW Motorrad squad for more money), and all signs point to Chaz Davies also leaving the Italian brand at the end of the season (Davies is currently 10th in the WorldSBK Championship).
Aprilia has confirmed that Maverick Viñales will be joining the Italian factory for the 2022 MotoGP season, with an option to continue for 2023.
The Spaniard will join Aleix Espargaro in the Aprilia Racing factory team once Viñales’ contract with Yamaha expires at the end of the current year.
Franco Morbidelli is to race for the Monster Energy Yamaha team next year.
Speaking to us, Yamaha Motor Racing Managing Director Lin Jarvis confirmed that the Italian is to move up to the factory team for the 2022 season, once the details of the contract have been sorted out.
Jarvis was speaking to us as part of a much larger interview to be published after the Austrian round of MotoGP.
Morbidelli’s move to the factory team is a result of a situation which was hard to imagine at the start of the 2021 season. Back in January, Yamaha looked to have one of the strongest rider lineups in MotoGP.
If you are a fan of the Honda Monkey (you should be, the bike is adorable), then we have some good news for you, as the pint-sized dual-sport is getting a welcomed upgrade for the 2022 model year: a five-speed gearbox.
Garrett Gerloff will stay in WorldSBK for the 2022 season, as the American has signed a one-year extension with Yamaha Motor Europe to race superbikes next season.
The 25-year-old from Texas has made waves in the WorldSBK paddock, showing strong speed on the Yamaha YZF-R1, and a promising future in the category, if not beyond.
The BMW CE 04 electric scooter has debuted, as expected, and will be coming to the US early next year.
Focused on being an electric two-wheeler for the urban market, the BMW CE 04 will come with a price tag that starts at $11,800, which is neither a bargain-basement deal nor a wallet-busting MSRP.
The bike’s aesthetic is probably the machine’s biggest draw, as despite the BME CE 04’s modern look, the new EV platform is a bit underwhelming in the performance category.
The BMW S1000RR is getting some very mild updates for the 2022 model year, but they do go beyond the attractive “bold new colors” that come with the new black livery that is available.
The biggest change is that BMW Motorrad is making the M Chassis kit for the BMW S1000RR standard on the 2022 model, which means an adjustable swingarm pivot and adjustable tail riser.
Every year, KTM offers a handful of lucky racers the chance to own a rally raid race bike that is as close to the factory-spec as possible. For the 2022 racing season, this offer is no different.
The 2022 KTM 450 Rally Factory Replica has been built with the direct inputs from Dakar Rally racers Toby Price, Matthias Walkner and Sam Sunderland.
