2027 Yamaha MT125: How can a 17 year old afford one?
Yamaha has unveiled its next-generation MT-125 for 2027, bringing sharper styling, revised ergonomics and a fresh dose of MT attitude. It looks good, there's no denying that, but with the outgoing model costing an eye-watering £5,300, I can't help wondering whether Yamaha has completely lost touch with the very riders this motorcycle is supposed to attract.

2027 Honda CBR500R FOUR – Now THIS Is Exciting! But Is It the End of the CBR500R?
Just when I was beginning to think Honda had forgotten how to surprise us, it announces the 2027 CBR500R FOUR. A brand-new, 72bhp, high-revving inline-four sports bike with E-Clutch, a low seat and some seriously tempting specifications. I genuinely didn't see this coming, and I reckon it could be one of the most entertaining motorcycles Honda has launched in years.

On the other, Honda has essentially given us another version of a motorcycle that was already brilliant twenty years ago. So, is this a case of if it ain't broke, don't fix it? Or has Honda missed a golden opportunity to do something extraordinary?

2027 Ducati Panigale V4 Launch: How Do You Improve Perfection? And Does Anyone Actually Care?
2027 Ducati Panigale V4: How Do You Improve Perfection? And Does Anyone Actually Care? Ducati has made the Panigale V4 faster. Again. But with another two horsepower and four-tenths of a second shaved off a lap time, I can't help wondering whether the Italians have completely lost sight of who's actually buying these things.

Honda’s Rebel 1100 has always taken a slightly different approach: low-slung styling, a punchy parallel twin and enough modern tech to make everyday riding a bit easier.
