New Model Preview

Krämer Motorcycles announced a new APX platform of track-only motorcycles built around small-displacement engines. The first model on the new platform will be the Krämer APX-350 MA, which will be used in the 2025 MotoAmerica Talent Cup series. A prototype will make its public debut this weekend in Texas with demonstration laps during the MotoAmerica round at Circuit of the Americas.

The original CBR400 models (and the first Honda CBRs, for that matter) were first introduced in 1983, with an air-cooled Inline-Four and a rotational-speed valve stop mechanism “REV” that was a predecessor to Honda’s VTEC system. The CBR400F pictured above was one of the earliest examples, but it evolved into variants like the CBR400RR showcased in the video below.

Bombardier Recreational Products has expanded its range of three-wheelers with the new adventure-touring Can-Am Canyon. Available in three trims with a starting price of $25,299, the 2025 Can-Am Canyon will arrive in dealerships in spring of 2025.

Kawasaki has submitted paperwork to homologate a new Versys 1100 model in Australia, suggesting a larger engine and potentially other updates to its adventuresque sports-tourer.

Yamaha has filed trademark applications in Europe suggesting a new family of RW series models across multiple displacements. These separate trademarks include an RW125, RW155, RW250, RW350 and RW700.

Back in June, Dennis Chung first reported about CARB certifications for the Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP, indicating an imminent announcement about the bike’s availability in America. Well, that time is now. Honda has officially announced the Fireblade will arrive on US shores later this year as a 2025 model. The move comes after the Blade was first introduced in Europe for the 2024 model year, and while getting left out for a year is annoying, in some ways we should just be glad Honda’s continuing to pump out sportbikes at all – which is more than at least one of its Japanese rivals can say…

Ducati announced the end of the line for its middleweight supersport with the introduction of the Panigale V2 Superquadro Final Edition. The full press release will be included at the bottom of this post, and we’ll summarize the highlights as well, but the announcement does raise a big question: Is this the last time we’ll see a V-Twin power a Ducati sportbike? Judging by the wording of the press release, the answer very well could be yes. But more on that in a minute.

As we dug deeper, we discovered more information that not only confirms an MT-09 with Y-AMT is on the way, but also that it was originally supposed to be announced as a 2024 model and is now likely delayed for 2025. Here’s what we’ve discovered so far.

MV Agusta is nothing if not exotic, and the company introduced its new limited edition Superveloce 1000 Serie Oro to its assembled group of journalists exactly how you’d expect: by emphasizing its beauty. Sure it’s powered by a 200-plus horsepower four cylinder with titanium connecting rods and radial valves, but that’s not really the star of the show here. According to MV’s Stefano Campaci, the Superveloce 1000 Serie Oro had to appeal to both motorcyclists and even non-motorcyclists alike. There had to be an attraction. A romance. “We call this the shape of desire.” Like the Superveloce 800 before it, I think it’s safe to say MV’s delivered another looker of a motorcycle.

BMW is teasing a new model announcement for July 5, with all the clues indicating it will be for the 2025 R 1300 GS Adventure.

Ducati announced a new DesertX variant that comes standard with a number of accessories to make it more adventure-ready. With an MSRP of $19,995, the 2025 Ducati DesertX Discovery offers a middle-ground between the $17,995 baseline DesertX and the more hardcore $22,995 DesertX Rally.

American Honda is preparing to add a new member to its Minimoto lineup in the funky Dax125. Also known as the ST125, the Dax has been available in Europe since 2023, but will finally be coming to the U.S. for 2025.

Last October, Triumph reached out to the public for help in tracking down a number of motorcycles Elvis Presley reportedly bought for his “Memphis Mafia” crew. This March, Triumph partnered with the Elvis Presley Charitable Foundation and Gibson Guitars to auction a one-off Bonneville T120 and matching Les Paul. It now appears Triumph will continue its association with The King with a Bonneville T120 Elvis Edition model for 2025.

After being absent from the 2024 offerings, the CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP is poised to return to American Honda’s lineup for 2025 with the updates introduced at EICMA.

KTM debuted a new prototype with an automatic transmission at last weekend’s Red Bull Erzbergrodeo. KTM calls the prototype the AMT, but we suspect it will eventually become a new 1390 Super Adventure.

Kawasaki introduced an all-new KX250 motocross bike and KX250X cross-country model for 2025, featuring a redesigned engine, revised electronics, and a chassis derived from the KX450.

With a completely new R 1300 GS now available in showrooms, it should be no surprise that BMW will follow it up with a GS Adventure model. That’s always been the pattern for BMW, with a new GSA following the introduction of each generation of GS. While we don’t expect it to be announced until the fall, Motorcycle.com has been able to obtain some initial specifications about the 2025 BMW R 1300 GS Adventure.

American Honda announced the 2025 Grom featuring updated styling and new accessories. This marks the third redesign of the Grom, which is remarkable in the industry today, as it only debuted in 2014. The original Grom helped kick start Honda’s MiniMoto line of small two wheelers.

Triumph announced several 2025 models returning with new colors this morning. Apart from the new paint options, the returning models are mechanically identical to the 2024 models. The announcement didn’t include all of Triumph’s models however, so we expect there is more news to come. It remains to be seen if any of these other motorcycles will receive any changes, but one model in particular appears poised for a substantial update for 2025: the Speed Twin 1200.

Yamaha has filed two patent applications that suggest an updated YZF-R7 is on the way. The modern R7 debuted in 2022, and has yet to receive a substantial update, but with an R9 potentially waiting in the wings and the R1 following the R6 into retirement, the time may be right for an update.

Royal Enfield has been making a bigger push of late with its 650 platform, with the new Shotgun 650 and Super Meteor 650 joining the older INT650 and Continental GT. The Indian brand is showing no intentions of slowing down, as trademark filings made in multiple markets including the U.S. and Europe confirm two more models in the works: the Interceptor 650 Bear and the Classic 650 Twin.

We’ve been waiting for KTM to release a true successor to the RC 8 R sportbike for a while now, and the closest thing we got was the limited edition track-only RC 8C. Until now, that is, with the announcement of the new 2025 KTM 990 RC R.

It took a bit longer than we expected, but American Honda has officially announced the updated 500 models revealed at EICMA are coming to America for 2024. These include the NX500 (previously known as the CB500X) adventure bike, the CBR500R sportbike, and the CB500F, which most of the world calls the CB500 Hornet.

Piaggio is celebrating its 140th birthday with the release of a special edition Vespa that may prove to be the one of its most exclusive models ever. Based on the Vespa GTV, the Vespa 140th of Piaggio is limited to a maximum of 140 units, and will only be available for sale for four days, and only in select markets (those of us in North America are unfortunately out of luck).

Aprilia has revealed new special edition liveries for the RSV4 Factory and Tuono V4 Factory recognizing the RSV4’s first World Superbike Championship race win in 2009.

Indian announced a fully-revamped Scout lineup, led by an all-new 101 Scout model. The new 2025 Indian Scout range features a new frame and a new 1,250cc liquid-cooled V-Twin engine, making for the first full-scale revamp of the line since Polaris relaunched Indian.

Triumph revealed a new special edition Trident 660 that pays tribute to the “Slippery Sam” Trident that won five consecutive Isle of Man TT races through the ’70s.

LiveWire officially announced the new S2 Mulholland, its third electric motorcycle and second to make use of the S2 Arrow platform behind the S2 Del Mar. Described as a performance cruiser, the S2 Mulholland is available now at retailers in the U.S. for $15,999, and Canada for CA$21,999.

As we were first to report, Harley-Davidson’s electric brand LiveWire is preparing to launch its next model, to be called the S2 Mulholland, with new teasers confirming the model name and a full reveal to come March 21.

Husqvarna released preliminary details on a new Svartpilen 801 model, including footage of a prototype tearing it up in the dirt … and on ice. Husqvarna plays up the dirt oval and ice track riding as part of the Svartpilen 801’s “extensive testing process,” but let’s not kid ourselves. Husqvarna did this because it looks cool.

KTM and tuning house Brabus have been working together for several years now, producing limited edition 1300 R models based on the 1290 Super Duke R. With KTM now introducing a 1390 Super Duke R EVO, it makes sense if the collaboration continues with the new platform.

Along with the new Hydra-Glide Revival Icons model, Harley-Davidson announced this year’s additions to its Enthusiast Collection with the Low Rider ST, Ultra Limited, and Tri Glide Ultra getting a special edition Tobacco Fade color.

Harley-Davidson officially announced the latest edition to its Icons collection with the new FLI Hydra-Glide Revival. As with past Icons models, the Hydra-Glide Revival draws inspiration from a model from Harley-Davidson’s long history, in this case, the Hydra-Glide that first introduced a telescopic front suspension to the brand 75 years ago.

Motorcycle.com can confirm that Indian is preparing liquid-cooled versions of the Roadmaster and Chieftain for 2025, possibly using a new 1,834cc (112ci) version of the PowerPlus engine that currently powers the Challenger and Pursuit models.
