Further Proof that the Honda CBR1000RR-R Will Not Be Cheap

By No Comments

Even before we saw the Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade in all its glory at EICMA, we knew that the newest superbike from Japan would not be cheap, with our Bothan spies tipping that a major price hike was in the works.

Though there have been some hints that this rumor was true – most notably that American Honda was not bringing in the base model CBR1000RR-R, opting to keep the CBR1000RR base model instead – the smoking gun regarding Honda’s pricing strategy hadn’t revealed its…until now.

This is because we have just received the first official price tag for the 2020 Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade, with the United Kingdom pricing the base model at £19,999 and the SP model at £23,499.

MV Agusta Rush 1000 Priced at €34,000 in Europe

By No Comments

If you were in Italy for the EICMA show, then you surely had a conversation with someone about seeing the MV Agusta Rush 1000.

This special version of the MV Agusta Brutale 1000 was polarizing with its radical looks, but we heard enough positive mentions to believe that the Italian brand will have no trouble selling out of this eye-catching streetfighter.

If you are one of the believers though, then you better ready with your wallet, because the MV Agusta Rush 1000 has been priced at €34,000 for the European market.

There Is a New Italjet Dragster on the Market, And It’s Rad

By No Comments

We didn’t know how badly we wanted a scooter in the garage until we saw the Italjet Dragster at EICMA this year. The Italian brand is bringing back one of its most…unique models, with a decisive modern twist.

The funny front-end you see is Italjet’s patented Independent Steering System (ISS), which separates out the front suspension and steering forces, which the Italian company says filters out any roughness from the road, without transmitting any vibrations to the handlebars.

Honestly, we just think it looks cool, along with the exposed steel trellis frame and its aluminum plates.

MV Agusta Releases a “Cheaper” Version of the Superveloce 800

By 2 Comments

Continuing the trend we saw with the MV Agusta Brutale 1000 RR for the 2020 model year, that Italian brand from Varese has a “regular” version of its popular Superveloce 800, for sale next year.

Now while the MV Agusta Superveloce 800 might be the “cheaper” alternative to the $35,000 Serie Oro model, don’t let the name fool you.

The talk of the town at EICMA, all the main elements are still here on the 2020 MV Agusta Superveloce 800 that made it such a drool-worthy creation last year.

The MV Agusta Brutale 1000 RR Debuts for Naked Enthusiasts

By No Comments

The 2019 EICMA show hasn’t even started yet, and already we have our first bike debut. Say hello to the new MV Agusta Brutale 1000 RR, the Italian brand’s newest naked bike that the rest of us can afford.

Based off the well-received MV Agusta Brutale 1000 Serie Oro, which debuted last year, the RR model brings the same basic streetfighter design to market, but without the über-exclusive price tag that matched.

Ducati Streetfighter V4 Priced at $19,995 for the USA

By No Comments

We knew going into it that the Ducati Streetfighter V4 would be an expensive motorcycle, and I have been telling readers to brace for a $20,000 price tag since this bike first began teasting.

Well, sometimes it sucks to be right, because the 2020 Ducati Streetfighter will certainly come with an MSRP of $19,995 – which is a lot of money for a naked motorcycle, and places the red bike at the top of the pricing heap in the category.

Ducati Streetfighter V4 Debuts with Superbike DNA for the Street

By No Comments

We have been waiting for Ducati to make this motorcycle for literally years. Ever since the Ducati Streetfighter 1098 debuted, we have begged the Italian brand to follow-up this mean machine with models from its new superbike lines.

Now with the Desmosedici Stradale V4 engine, our prayers have been answered, and the 2020 Ducati Streetfighter V4 is ready for public consumption.

Based obviously on the Panigale V4 superbike, the DNA from the track is obvious in this street-focused machine.

Don’t Call It a 959, Here is the New Ducati Panigale V2

By No Comments

Ahead of Ducati’s special media event, we knew that the Bologna brand was going to update the Ducati Panigale 959 for the Euro5 regulations, with spy shots showing the bike getting a heavy remodel, to make it look more like the Panigale V4.

Well, now we know how far Ducati is going to make its v-twin superbike look like its four-cylinder sibling, taking things all the way down to the name of the 2020 Ducati Panigale V2.

2020 Suzuki Katana Priced at $13,499 for the USA

By No Comments

After much teasing, and officially debuting the model almost a year ago, we finally know what the 2020 Suzuki Katana will cost American buyers, and the answer is a stout $13,499 MSRP.

We had hoped that the new Katana would be priced aggressively against its naked bike competitors, especially since the “new” machine is largely a restyled Suzuki GSX-S1000F, which comes with an MSRP of $11,299.

That new bodywork must add over $2,000 of value in Suzuki’s eyes though, with the 2020 Suzuki Katana commanding the largest price tag out of the Japanese models in the relevant category.

MV Agusta Brutale 1000 Serie Oro Priced at $46,000

By No Comments

If MV Agusta’s current marketing strategy hasn’t turned you off to the brand, and you have the coin, the Italians have two pricey motorcycles that they would like you to put in your garage.

First up is the gorgeous MV Agusta Brutale 1000 Serie Oro, which sees the superbike engine found in the MV Agusta F4 shoehorned into a naked chassis, complete with winglets. With 205hp on tap, the MV Agusta Brutale 1000 Serie Oro is claiming a 187 mph top speed.

If you like that sort of thing, then you better break the piggy bank, because the limited edition MV Agusta Brutale 1000 Serie Oro is priced at $45,998 of the US market (€42,990 for the European market).
