2026 Motomorini X-Cape 1200
First introduced as a concept in 2023, the production version combines historic Italian engineering with modern Chinese-funded manufacturing to deliver a high-tech luxury maxi-adventure tourer. Since 2018 Moto Morini has been acquired by the Chinese company Zhongneng Vehicle Group. In late 2025, the production-ready model was launched, featuring an 1187cc, 87-degree, liquid-cooled V-twin engine, which is claimed to produce 129 HP and 78.1 Ft-lb of torque. The bike offers advanced rider-assistance features, including a 6-axis IMU, ABS/cornering lights, a bi-directional quickshifter, and rear blind-spot monitoring radar. It also features premium Brembo Stylema brakes, a fully adjustable suspension, and a front-facing 1080p HD dash camera.

2026 Suzuki V-Strom 1200 DE
The Suzuki V-Strom 1050 DE (Dual Explorer) is Suzuki's flagship adventure motorcycle, built on the legacy of the 1037cc V-twin engine, first updated to Euro5 standards in 2020. It debuted alongside a major overhaul of the electronics suite. In 2023, Suzuki expanded the V-Strom 1050 lineup by replacing the XT variant with the DE model. This model introduced off-road-specific geometry, featuring a larger 21-inch front wheel, longer suspension travel, wider handlebars, a more robust steel subframe, and a dedicated Gravel (G) mode on its Traction Control system and the ability to turn off the rear ABS. The following year, Suzuki refined the bidirectional quickshifter, added 5-inch full-color TFT instrumentation, and launched the Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (SIRS) which includes grade-dependent braking control, load control, and hill hold. This model continues for 2026 model year.

1975 Honda CB400 Four
First introduced at the Cologne Motorcycle Show in October 1974 before being marketed globally for the 1975 model year, the Honda CB400 Four, also known as the CB400F Super Sport, was introduced as an evolution of the previous model, the CB350F/Four. To develop the CB350F into the CB400F, Honda increased the cylinder bore and modified the cylinder head to increase the compression ratio. As a first for Honda, a sixth ratio was installed in the gearbox. Instead of mimicking the styling of the larger Universal Japanese Motorcycle (UJM), the CB750, as the 350F had, the CB400F had a more café racer look with lower handlebars, rear-positioned footpegs, and sleeker styling. It also gained one of its most recognizable attributes, the curved four-into-one exhaust system. Most middleweight motorcycles at the time were dominated by two-stroke engines. Although aimed at the sporting market segment, the four-stroke CB400F lacked the acceleration of competing two-strokes, particularly Kawasaki's three-cylinder engines. However, what the CB400F lacked in power it made up for in refinement, as small-displacement four-stroke engines were smoother, quieter, and far more economical than two-strokes. The CB400F was well received by the automotive press and reviewers. They praised its renewed focus over the previous 350F model, preferring its clean lines and sporty café racer appearance. However, in US, the CB400F did not achieve the sales success Honda had anticipated.

1997 Honda CB400 Four
Released in 1997, the Honda CB400 Four (NC36) was a retro-styled motorcycle specifically aimed at the Japanese domestic (JDM) market. With its classic looks, chrome accents, spoked wheels, and steel fenders, it was arguably the spiritual successor to the original CB400 Four of the 1970s. However, unlike the original CB400 Four, which used a four-in-one exhaust system, this 1997 model featured four independent chrome-plated megaphone-type exhausts on the left and right sides, creating a bold look. This bike thoroughly answered the question "what should a new-era Honda motorcycle model be like, one that is both nostalgic and fresh?" The motorcycle is powered by a 399cc liquid-cooled 4-cylinder engine, derived from the CB400 Super Four (NC31 / naked sport model with a modern design and more focused on performance). This engine is claimed to be capable of producing 53 HP of peak power and 29.6 Ft-lb of torque. In addition, the entire engine is positioned slightly upright, and has air-cooling fins on the cylinder sides, which gives it a distinctive and attractive appearance. The seat is designed with sufficient length and is comfortable even when carrying two people, equipped with a 4.6L storage box for storing everyday items, as well as four luggage hooks on the left and right sides for added comfort when touring. The braking system uses dual hydraulic disc brakes at the front to provide excellent braking sensation and a single hydraulic disc brake at the rear, ensuring adequate braking power. In addition, the use of lightweight aluminum rims and spokes on the front and rear wheels, combined with wide tires (front: 110 / 80-18, rear: 140 / 70-17), produces responsive handling characteristics.

1987 Honda CB450S
Released in 1996, the Honda CB450S is a street-fighter-style motorcycle assembled in South America and marketed primarily in Germany and Canada. The CB450S is mechanically based on the long-standing 400cc six-valve twin engine. It is powered by a 447cc air-cooled, SOHC parallel-twin engine with 3 valves per cylinder, producing 43 hp and 26.7 ft-lb of torque. A limited-27-horsepower version was also sold to comply with certain European learner/graduate licensing laws at the time. The bike's most prominent feature is its uniquely curved, exposed tubular frame, which intentionally uses the engine as a structural load-bearing member. Honda deliberately painted these exposed frame tubes in eye-catching, bright colors. Stopping power comes from dual 260 mm front discs paired with two-piston calipers and a 140 mm drum brake at the rear. The suspension is equipped with a telescopic front fork with 125 mm of travel and dual shock absorbers at the rear. The CB450S is recognized by automotive enthusiasts as a tough classic motorcycle. Due to its agile frame structure and body design, this bike is often a popular basis for cafe racer-style modifications or custom trackers by today's builders.

1984 Yamaha XS400R / Seca
Yamaha produced the original XS400 from 1976 to 1982. It was an air-cooled, parallel-twin single-overhead-cam (SOHC) engine designed for reliable everyday use. In 1982, Yamaha released the radically updated XS400R (alongside the cruiser-style XS400 Maxim). The "R" (or Seca) featured sport-oriented ergonomics, an angular body, and technological enhancements borrowed from the air-cooled, four-cylinder XJ series. The bike differed significantly from the standard XS models and previous cruisers by featuring a backbone frame, monoshock rear suspension, and a modernized double-overhead-cam (DOHC) engine producing a peak power of 45 HP and 26 Ft-lb of torque. The bike featured a sophisticated (for its time) rear monoshock (cantilever) suspension, coupled with a triangular swingarm. Designed as a lightweight, agile sportbike, rather than an entry-level commuter, it was dubbed by some magazines as the "RD400 reborn" for its aggressive styling and powerful performance. It featured an uncompromisingly sporty aesthetic, including 8-point mag wheels, a 2-into-1 exhaust, and a "ducktail" rear fairing inspired by the TZ250. Although admired for its handling, styling, and much smoother power delivery than previous models, it faced stiff competition and was discontinued after the 1983 model year.

2021 Crighton CR700W
The Crighton CR700W is an exclusive rotary (Wankel)-powered motorcycle launched in October 2021, marking the culmination of Brian Crighton's 40-year racing career. It was designed as a spiritual successor to the legendary Norton RCW588 racer of the 1990s. To address the classic rotary engine problems of heat and wear, the CR700W utilizes extremely hard silicon nitride to minimize wear. It utilizes exhaust gas energy to create a vacuum that draws cooling air through the rotor core, and liquid cooling channels are drilled directly into the main rotor bearing journals. technology has come a long way and while rotary doesn’t perhaps have a place to in an electric future, Crighton has developed a new sportsbike that serves a broader purpose today. Powered by a 220 HP 690cc twin-rotor engine that revs free and easy all the way up to 10,500rpm with peak torque 9,500rpm. That equates to a 319hp per litre, which is more potent that remarkably most MotoGP bikes and even the Ferrari F2004 F1 car. Besides being lighter, the 699cc twin-rotor engine offers better handling potential and can be mounted more centrally for more agility and stability. Its dry weight is just 285 lbs (129 kg), which is very light. Crighton says particular attention has been placed on the gearbox, which is notoriously problematic due to added stress when mated to a rotary engine. However, a quick removal cassette, dog-ring, super-finished, gear cluster with increased width for extra durability. Resplendent in its minimalist ‘naked’ carbon fiber and brushed aluminium finish, the Crighton CR700W is a stripped back, poised-looking sportsbike, complete with a cowled front-end and wings that bear more than a striking resemblance to Moto2 GP bikes. This bike was officially introduced as a track-only machine with a very limited production run of only 25 units assembled directly by Brian Crighton.

2023 Ducati Panigale V4R
The main engine in the 2023 Panigale V4 R is a 998cc V4 engine called the “Desmosedici Stradale R Evo.” It revs to a maximum of 16,500 rpm. In its base configuration, it produces 218 hp and 82 lb-ft of torque. While that may sound more than enough, the bike has a trick up its sleeve – with the optional Akrapovic racing exhaust system, those figures increase to 237 hp and 87 lb-ft. This exhaust package also reduces the bike’s weight by over 10 lbs. As if that weren’t enough, Ducati says that with special Shell oil, the V4 R is capable of producing 240.5 hp. For the first time on a road bike, Ducati uses precision-drilled titanium connecting rods that allow oil to flow from the cylinder head to the small end for improved reliability and lubrication in extreme conditions. Additionally, for the first time on a road machine, the pistons feature the Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating used in Formula 1 and MotoGP competition, reducing friction. The pistons also feature a new geometry that makes them lighter. The 2023 Ducati Panigale V4 R features several carbon fiber components, including the rear fender, swingarm, gear and crankcase guards, frame, and front brake cooling ducts, which improve performance and provide more efficient braking power. At the time of the bike's release, the 2023 Ducati Panigale V4 R had an MSRP of $44,995 USD in the US, while a custom Akrapovič racing exhaust system is a significant separate expense, often several thousand dollars extra, making the total package price significantly higher, with the racing exhaust potentially adding around $7,000+ when bundled in some regions such as the UK.

2014 Ducati 1199 Superleggera
The Ducati 1199 Superleggera is one of the most exclusive and radical sportbikes in the world, launched as a limited edition in 2014. With a name that means "super light" in Italian, the main focus of this project was to reduce weight as much as possible to create the best power-to-weight ratio of its time. Limited to only 500 units, Ducati managed to reduce the weight of this motorcycle to only 342 Lbs / 155 kg (dry weight) through the use of premium materials such as a magnesium main monocoque frame, a full carbon body, combined with a carbon fiber subframe, a single-sided swingarm, and magnesium wheels. powered by a 1198cc Superquadro L-Twin engine that is claimed to produce 200 HP and 98.8 Ft-lb of torque. The 1199 Superleggera was designed as the ultimate version, incorporating World Superbike technology into a motorcycle suitable for collectors and amateur racers alike. Its success paved the way for subsequent generations, such as the 1299 Superleggera (2016) and the Superleggera V4.

2014 Aprilia RSV4 APRC Factory
The 2014 Aprilia RSV4 APRC Factory is a flagship superbike, born from Aprilia's dominance in the World Superbike Championship (WSBK). Aprilia Performance Ride Control (APRC) was first launched on limited-run models and is fully integrated into the Factory and R lines to deliver advanced, track-ready telemetry. Powered by a 999cc 65° V4 engine producing 184 hp and 86.2 Ft-lb of torque. The Aprilia Performance Ride Control system includes multi-level traction control (aTC), wheelie control (aWC), launch control (aLC), and a quickshifter (aQS). The APRC Factory edition distinguishes itself with premium, fully adjustable Öhlins suspension, forged aluminum wheels, a variable-height air intake, and a tighter-ratio transmission. The bike offers an adjustable frame that allows the rider to change the position and height of the engine within the chassis for optimal, track-focused geometry.

1989 Suzuki Bandit 400
In 1989, Suzuki released the Bandit 400, a naked motorcycle that combined agile styling with a lightweight, high-performance engine. The Bandit 400 featured a highly rigid steel tube diamond frame. Going beyond the traditional expression of functional beauty, the model was designed with the key concept of "attraction" to express a playful spirit enhanced through volume and curves. Powered by a 398cc, DOHC, liquid-cooled, 4-cylinder engine, it was claimed to produce 59 HP and 28.1 Ft-lb of torque. The engine incorporated a slingshot carburetor known for delivering sharp acceleration with tuning that emphasized optimal performance in the low and mid rpm ranges, making the bike very comfortable to ride even on city streets. The model's beauty was particularly highlighted through elements such as the fuel tank, fairing, and exhaust. Another distinctive characteristic of the Bandit 400 was its various highly refined components, including the handlebars, headlight, footpegs, instrument panel, mirrors, stainless steel exhaust, and exhaust pipe.

1989 Honda CB-1 400
In March 1989, a new model was released that ushered in a new era for Japan's highly competitive 400cc street sportbike category. It was the Honda CB-1. The CB-1 was developed at a time when street racing was gaining popularity in Japan, as was the 400cc street sportbike category, and competition between manufacturers was intensifying. The development concept for the CB-1 was "pursuit of sensory performance." The goal was to create a motorcycle that would stimulate the senses by pursuing the high-performance appeal of a super sportbike, while still possessing the simple, functional beauty of a naked sportbike. The CB-1's engine was a liquid-cooled, DOHC, 16-valve, inline-4-cylinder engine borrowed from the CBR400RR, with a maximum output of 57 HP and 28.9 Ft-lb of torque. Its high-quality appearance was achieved by pursuing the functional beauty of a liquid-cooled engine. The twin-tube diamond-shaped frame gave the bike a rugged appearance. Although the CB-1 was a naked sportbike without a fairing, its performance was comparable to that of a naked sportbike.

2015 XJR1300 Racer
The Yamaha XJR1300 Racer, released in 2015, is a factory-built cafe racer introduced to capitalize on the "Yard Built" modification trend. Rather than building from scratch, they collaborated with world-renowned modders like Deus Ex Machina and Wrenchmonkees as part of their "Yard Built" program. Yamaha sought to direct the aging XJR1300 towards the growing "hipster" and custom motorcycle market. The standard bike was heavily updated with a smaller fuel tank, classic-style clip-on handlebars replacing the standard XJR's flat bar, a carbon fiber "bikini" cover around the headlight, a short carbon front fender, a matching carbon rear passenger seat cowl, and a shortened subframe, all of which gave it an aggressive look. The model was short-lived, discontinued shortly after its release due to increasingly stringent emissions regulations. Despite its visual appeal and collaborations with renowned custom bike builders like Deus Ex Machina and Wrenchmonkees, the XJR1300 Racer struggled commercially. The aggressive clip-on handlebars, while great for fast cornering, made the bike very uncomfortable for urban riding and commuting compared to the more relaxed standard XJR.

2016 Kawasaki ZXR1200 Daeg
The Kawasaki ZRX1200 DAEG is a modern "Universal Japanese Motorcycle" (UJM) produced exclusively for the Japanese market from 2009 to 2016. Combining classic 1980s Eddie Lawson superbike styling with modern fuel injection and suspension, it is the ultimate evolution of the iconic ZRX series of muscle bikes. "Daeg" is an old European letter, equivalent to the English word "DAY," and is meant to represent the days of refinement and development that the ZRX has gone through. The DAEG's lineage dates back to the 1997 ZRX1100, which Kawasaki designed as a nostalgic tribute to the legendary KZ1000R Eddie Lawson Replica of 1982. In 2001, the engine was enlarged to 1,164cc to create the globally successful ZRX1200R, renowned for its bikini fairing and ample mid-range torque. In 2007, global emissions regulations halted sales of the ZRX1200R in the US and European markets. However, the bike remained extremely popular in Japan. To meet this demand and address stricter emissions regulations, Kawasaki underwent a major redesign in 2009, naming this generation the ZRX1200 DAEG. This model comes with an updated 1,164cc inline four-cylinder engine with modern fuel injection (using a Z1000-based pump) and the transmission is upgraded to a 6-speed gearbox. Then the geometry is also updated, a reinforced swingarm, and modern Tokico four-piston brakes. Using a telescopic fork with adjustable settings for preload, compression, and damping (rebound) with dual rear suspension (dual shock) with fully adjustable settings. Special editions (Limited Edition) and some popular custom variants use rear suspension from Ohlins equipped with damping adjustment up to 20 clicks. This model was discontinued in 2016, because it could no longer meet increasingly stringent Japanese emission standards.

1988 Suzuki DR750S / DR-Big
Released in 1988, the Suzuki DR750S, also known as the DR Big, is a replica model of the DR-Zeta rally bike. Developed with the help of Dakar legend Gaston Rahier, its iconic design introduced a "bird's beak" style on the front end, which has since been adopted by many modern adventure bikes. Powered by a 727cc air-cooled single-cylinder engine with two 33mm Mikuni BST carburetors, the engine produces 52 horsepower and 42.7 Ft-lb of torque. This engine produces large torque and fast response from low and medium revs to high revs. To support the long-distance cruising capabilities of this adventure bike, the DR750S is equipped with a fuel tank capacity of 7.6 Gallons / 29 Liters. While its engine is slimmer than other off-road twins, this large single is perfect for those who find twins too heavy and need more power than smaller singles can offer. Of course, no large single is suited to low revs. However, casual riding in top gear isn't the DR Big's primary purpose. That's the limitation you'll have to accept when buying a DR Big. In 1990, the DR750S was replaced by the DR800S. Its engine featured a six mm longer stroke (the cylinder bore remained the same at 105 mm), and the displacement increased from 727cc to 779cc. Otherwise, the two bikes were virtually identical. This upgrade retained the title of the largest displacement single-cylinder engine ever used in a mass-produced motorcycle. The DR800S received ergonomic and styling enhancements, most notably a reduction in the tank size to a more manageable 6.3 Gallons/24 liters and a revised seat shape to accommodate taller riders. Changing market demands and shifting design trends led Suzuki to officially discontinue the DR Big series from its lineup, although the series retained a loyal following.

1988 Yamaha XT600Z Tenere
The Yamaha XT600Z Ténéré is a legendary adventure motorcycle born out of Yamaha's dominance in the Paris–Dakar Rally. Introduced in 1983, it brought Dakar-winning endurance, a large fuel tank, and rugged off-road capability directly to the masses, effectively creating the modern production adventure motorcycle segment. Named after the harsh Ténéré desert region of the Sahara, the first Ténéré, the 34L model, came with a 595cc air-cooled single-cylinder engine and a large 7.9 Gallon / 30 liter fuel tank. It was the first Yamaha off-road model to feature a front disc brake. It also used progressive Monocross suspension, offering great mileage over rough terrain. The 1VJ model was launched in 1985 (for the '86 model year), this iteration added a much-needed electric starter in addition to the traditional manual starter. Fuel capacity was slightly reduced to 6 Gallons / 23 liters. The 1988 Yamaha XT600Z Ténéré (type code 3AJ) was a major redesign that addressed the cooling issues of previous models. It introduced a new frame-mounted fairing with twin headlights, Yamaha moved the front fender directly above the wheel (lowering it) to improve airflow to the vulnerable cylinder head, improved engine cooling with enlarged cylinder head and cooling fins to address the chronic overheating problems common with the previous 1VJ model. The oil passages were revised to ensure smooth circulation to the upper engine under extreme conditions. The airbox was moved below the tank to allow for cleaner air intake and free of road debris. The 1988 single-cylinder 3AJ motorcycle laid the foundation for Yamaha's twin-cylinder platform. In 1989, Yamaha released the XTZ750 Super Ténéré with a parallel twin engine, pushing the adventure segment into even higher speeds and displacement classes. In 1991, the air-cooled XT600Z series was replaced by the liquid-cooled, five-valve XTZ660.

2013 Ducati Panigale 1199R
The 2013 Ducati Panigale 1199R is a lighter and more powerful racing homologation version of the standard 1199 Panigale/S. Key differences include lighter titanium engine components, a 500 RPM increase in engine rev limit, a tighter final drive ratio for acceleration, and the use of carbon fiber. Powered by a 1199cc 90-degree L-Twin engine, the Panigale R uses a lighter crankshaft flywheel and DLC-coated rocker arms, titanium piston rods, allowing the engine to rev up to 12,000 RPM (500 RPM higher than the S/standard version). The 1199R also features a Termignoni full-system exhaust system as standard. This engine is claimed to produce 195 Hp of power and 97.4 Ft-lb of torque. The Panigale R is lighter. By reducing carbon fiber components and engine weight, it has been reduced by approximately 1.5 lbs (0.7 kg) compared to the S version. It features electronically adjustable Öhlins suspension, but this has been designed with stiffer tuning for the track and also includes a GPS-enhanced Ducati Data Acquisition system. It also features lightweight Marchesini forged rims and a four-position adjustable swingarm pivot. In short, the standard Panigale 1199/S is a powerful superbike that is street-legal, while the Panigale 1199R is a race bike that is ready for the track and street-legal.

2013 Bmw HP4
Launched in late 2012 as a 2013 model, the BMW HP4 is a high-performance evolution of the S1000RR superbike. It is the first four-cylinder motorcycle in BMW's HP (High Performance) family, following previous boxer models such as the HP2 Enduro and HP2 Sport. A complete Akrapovic exhaust system comes standard, saving 9.9 lbs / 4.5 kg compared to the S1000RR. With a wet weight of 438 lbs / 199 kg (dry 373 lbs / 169 kg), the HP4 was one of the lightest 1000cc four-cylinder motorcycles of its time. This weight reduction comes from forged aluminum wheels, a titanium Akrapovic exhaust, and a lighter battery. The HP4 is a limited edition, with each unit featuring a serial number laser-engraved on the upper fork bridge. It is available in two main packages:
-Standard Package: Equipped with DDC, an Akrapovič titanium exhaust, forged wheels, and a quickshifter.
-Competition Package: A more exclusive variant with additional carbon components (such as a belly pan), folding brake/clutch levers, adjustable footpegs, and Racing Blue Metallic wheels.

2012 EBR 1190RS
The EBR 1190RS is an American sportbike introduced in June 2011 for the 2012 model year by Erik Buell Racing (EBR). Developed after Harley-Davidson discontinued Buell production in 2009, it was designed as a premium track-focused machine. It was produced in limited quantities. Of the 100 planned units, the majority were produced for the 2012 model year. Some sources indicate an additional 35 units were released in 2012 after the initial production run. Powered by a liquid-cooled 1190cc 72-degree V-Twin engine, the machine is claimed to produce 175 HP and 96.6 Ft-lb of torque. The bike uses an aluminum frame with an integrated fuel tank, weighs 369 lbs dry, with a wet weight of less than 400 lbs, and features high-end components such as Öhlins suspension and a single 375mm front disc brake with an eight-piston caliper. At launch, the price was $40,000. The 1190RS became the foundation for EBR's racing efforts, including appearances at the Isle of Man TT with Splitlath Racing and in AMA racing with rider Geoff May. The success of the 1190RS led to the development of the more production-friendly EBR 1190RX and 1190SX (naked bikes).

2012 KTM 1190 RC8R
The first concept motorcycle appeared in 2005, powered by a 999cc Super Duke V-twin engine. The displacement was increased to 1148cc with 155 hp for the production version (1190 RC8) in 2008. The motorcycle featured a steel trellis frame with a cast aluminum seat subframe. Suspension was provided by a high-end WP inverted fork and an aluminum alloy swingarm. One year after its initial launch, KTM released the more powerful 1990 RC8R variant with an engine enlarged to 1195cc, producing up to 175 hp. This variant offered track-oriented features, including more advanced WP suspension components and reduced weight. In 2011, KTM made significant internal improvements, such as the use of a twin-spark system for more optimal combustion and ECU remapping to address complaints of overly responsive throttle (snatchy) in early models. Production of the RC8R officially ended in 2015. KTM's CEO at the time, Stefan Pierer, stated that superbikes with power approaching 200 HP were too dangerous for use on public roads, so KTM chose to focus on developing MotoGP racing bikes for circuits and naked bike models for roads.
