I was lucky enough to test-ride the all-new 2026 Honda CB1000GT in Spain’s Alicante, covering 140 brisk kilometers (over 86 miles) after its presentation at the Melià Villaitana Resort in Benidorm over the weekend. It felt like a full-circle moment, coming almost exactly a year after I rode the CB1000…
CFMOTO has surprised me more than once at trade shows, but stepping into Hall 10. Stand I52 at EICMA made me pause when a bike in their display immediately felt more mature than anything I expected from the brand. The new 2026 CFMOTO 1000MT-X still fits the tidy, unmistakably MT-family…
Walking the Suzuki stand at EICMA 2025, an unexpected newcomer, the 2026 Suzuki SV-7GX, immediately stopped me in my tracks. From a distance, it reads like a tougher, more purposeful SV650 with a compact half-cowl, tall screen, knuckle guards, and a neat rear rack. Up close, it is clear that…

Walking through the Yamaha stand at EICMA 2025 in Milan, the all-new 2026 YZF-R7 immediately caught my eye. Under the bright lights it looked sharper and more aggressive than its predecessor: a slimmed-down fairing with winglet tips, reshaped tank and tail, and a distinctive M-shaped LED duct that screams R-series…
