1 week ago | topspeed.com | Punya Sharma

Back in March, Honda filed some interesting patents for an unmissable electric motorcycle. Now, merely months later, the cat is finally out of the bag. It’s called the E-VO, and it is the closest thing to a full-sized motorcycle by Honda yet. There is a lot to like here, in terms of technology, performance, and equipment. So let’s jump right in.
Harley-Davidson’s Entry-Level Revolution May Be Closer Than You Think

1 week ago | topspeed.com | Punya Sharma

We all know there’s some serious trouble behind closed doors at Harley-Davidson. While that does affect all of us, we need to focus on is what’s happening outside and how the brand aims to cater to us (its customers). In that regard, the bikemaker has recently dropped hints about its plans to whip up new entry-level machines. While it was the company’s soon-to-retire CEO, the remarks come from the Vice President for International Markets this time. Let’s dive in.

1 week ago | topspeed.com | Punya Sharma

Some time ago, we told you Ducati was readying its new flagship Panigale to sit above the refreshed-for-2025 Panigale V4 S. It would bear the ‘R’ tag, serving as a homologation special to race in the World Superbike championship (WSBK) next year. Now, the new Panigale V4 R has finally been spotted out in the wild, during the WSBK test days at Misano World Circuit in Italy. There are a lot of juicy details to note, so let’s jump in.
Why The Flagship Versys Is Kawasaki That Checks Every Box

1 week ago | topspeed.com | Punya Sharma

Perfection is a myth. Nothing is perfect, and even if something looks perfect, there are irregularities at a molecular level we just can’t see. The same applies to motorcycles. No bike is perfect, and if something seems to check every box, it’s probably doing something wrong that you’re simply overlooking. So, for a motorcycle to check every box, it needs to offer the best compromise of everything. In Kawasaki’s 2025 lineup, there’s only one machine that promises such an experience.
A New 250cc Royal Enfield Is In The Works, Says The Rumor Mill

1 week ago | topspeed.com | Punya Sharma

Not long ago, we told you about Royal Enfield’s exceptional sales record. Much of the credit for that goes to its entry-level machines, much of which comprises a handful of 350cc bikes. Now, it appears Royal Enfield wants to shake things up a bit in an attempt to increase its market share. By doing what, you ask? Well, by whipping up an even smaller entry-level machine.
The Forgotten Inline-Four Suzuki That’s Still In Production

2 weeks ago | topspeed.com | Punya Sharma

There was a time when inline-four motorcycles were everywhere. And by everywhere, we mean you could have four-cylinder machines of all sizes (even 250cc and 400cc). Fast forward to today, such engines are no longer the go-to. The number of parallel-twin, V-twin, and inline-triple motorcycles is higher than ever–that too, across segments. The complexities of making an inline-four engine meet new emission norms doesn’t help the case either.
The Honda CB125F Is What You Should Be Buying As Your First Motorcycle

Imagine you want a feature-rich Honda bike for learning the basics of riding and commuting around town every day. Your options include the Rebel 300, CB300R, or something from the minimoto range. The 300s have remained the same since forever, while the minimotos are…well…minimotos with their petite constructions. So it’s likely you’ll end up looking at other brands.

Not long ago, we told you Kawasaki is whipping up a new streetfighter to take on the liter-class segment. While we could just confirm the name back then, we finally know some of its specifications now. These are courtesy of official homologation data (sourced by Motorcycle.com) from across the pond in Europe, and some of these things are perplexing. Let’s dive in.
The Cruiser Bike That Redlines The Limits Of Performance

2 weeks ago | topspeed.com | Punya Sharma

A decade ago, horsepower was nowhere near a priority for cruiser motorcycles. It was all about big torque figures and punchy low-end grunt. But as time progressed and technologies became better, a niche ‘power cruiser’ segment rose to new heights. In 2025, this segment comprises cruiser bikes that make liter-class superbikes rethink things by offering seriously high horsepower and torque. Out of these, there’s one that beats all of its rivals fairly and squarely.
Buell's New Touring Bike Is Here To Worry The H-D Pan America

2 weeks ago | topspeed.com | Punya Sharma

At the start of 2025, Harley-Davidson finally bit the bullet and whipped up a sporty Pan America. Its adventure flavor was tossed in the bin to favor a sport-touring experience and proper corner carving shenanigans in the hills. Accordingly, the Pan America ST became the only sport-touring machine from America. However, those bragging rights seem short-lived now. That’s because Buell has just launched the SuperTouring as part of its 2025 lineup.
