Continuing our epic shindig at Intermot International Motorcycle Show, more drooling and dribbling imminent straight through to 2017. Here is a selection of images from Aprilia, Kymco and Horex...

We had a right ol' good time drooling over the 2017 new bikes and updates at Intermot.  So much so that we decided to put absolutely everything in a gallery, FOUR in fact, above is part two with...

The MCN team spent absolutely every second of every hour at Intermot in Germany to bring you the latest news in the motorcycle industry.  From the new Honda Fireblade SP, to the new BMW R nineT...

Despite all the new model launches at Intermot today, the bike teased in the first R World video was not shown. Yamaha instead released a new teaser video, revealing the launch date of the new model...

Ducati’s two new SuperSport models mark a significant change of direction  for the traditionally sportsbike-focused Italian powerhouse. These bikes, according to the factory, “blend Ducati’s...

Several models in the Ducati line up will get minor upgrades for 2017 - mostly to bring the in line with Euro4 regulations. 1299 Panigale The standard and S models gain the next generation of EVO...

The standard CB1100EX model gets a raft of nips and tucks for 2017. Front and rear lights are now LED and the new 18in wheels run stainless steel spokes. The rims roll under a new 41mm Showa Dual...

Honda’s retro CB1100 has never been the rampant success story they’d hoped for. A stylistic blend of the SOHC CB750 of the 1970s and the twin-cam models of the 1980s, there was never much wrong with...

This is more like it! Honda’s previous Fireblade range-topping model was a slightly apologetic attempt at taking the Fireblade up a level, but this new SP2 is the real deal, and then some.  A...

‘All 1000cc sportsbikes are extraordinary examples of high performance engineering. But for us, for our new Fireblade, we want extraordinary to be the pleasure of handling and controlling such a...

Blimey. This is going to be epic. Take the engine from the Super Duke R, give it a fiddle and a tweak, shove it in a huge hardcore enduro chassis, and pull the pin. If you thought the 1190 Adventure R...

This is the direct replacement for the 1190 Adventure, and comes with everything the R boasts, but skewed firmly towards tarmac riding, rather than being genuinely dual-purpose. The biggest and most...

The new 1290 Super Adventure T isn’t really that new. This is essentially the current Super Adventure, made Euro4 compliant and given an extra character on the end of its name (T for Travel) to make a...

KTM’s continual drive to offer bigger, better, and more banzai adventure bikes has gone to a whole new level for 2017. Gone is the 1050 Adventure, and the whole family of 1190s, replaced by a cleaner...

For those willing to concede that the vast majority of their riding be on the tarmac, the standard 1090 Adventure is the more logical option. Fundamentally the same bike as the Adventure R, it...

America was introduced to the SCR950 earlier this year, and Europe quickly threw its dummy out of the pram. We wanted the new scrambler, too – and now we’re getting it. Based heavily on the XV950, the...

Yamaha’s simple recipe for the original MT-09 was a moment of pure genius. Now three years old, the firm has gifted the 850cc triple a host of significant updates for 2017, making this a genuine...

The MT-10 smashed its way into our affections this year with a superb blend of naked street bike hedonism, and effortless comfort and drive. Load it up with the firm’s touring accessories, and it...

Triumph blew everyone away with a stunning range of retro rockets this year and three more mouthwatering offerings look set to stun in 2017. The new range will boast a full complement of 900cc...

If you’ve been lusting after the gorgeous T120 Thruxton this year, but didn’t feel comfortable with the size, power or price, salvation is here – and it’s called the Street Cup.  Essentially a...

It seems extraordinary that, after 32 years of GSX-Rs (yes, the GSX-R400 predated the 750 by a year, arriving in 1984), Suzuki have only just seen fit to give us a GSX-R125. And here it is. If you...

Suzuki’s GSR750 always had one tyre in the ‘hit’ camp, and one in the ‘miss’. The problem was less what it delivered, but more what it had promised. When the idea was mooted of a naked GSX-R750, the...

The V-Strom 1000 gets a range clean-up and a host of small changes – all of which adds up to a better offering. Gone are rambling something-or-other editions, and in come two models, the stock V-Strom...

The 2017 V-Strom 650 may not be an all-new model, but it’s not far off. The long-suffering 645cc V-twin engine has been around so long that universities let their students practice archaeology on it –...

A whole 12 months ago Suzuki unveiled a ‘concept’ GSX-R1000R that looked as finished as any production bike. But it wasn’t finished. Which is lucky, really – because the new GSX-R1000R needs to be top...

The H2 range gets a new Öhlins TTX shock to add a little more control (and bling) to the back end for 2017 – although the mounting point for the remote reservoir looks like it was designed in the...
