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.

2027 Honda CBR600RR – Brilliant Value, But Has Honda Run Out of Ideas?
The 2027 Honda CBR600RR has arrived, and I'm torn. On one hand, it's still one of the most capable and competitively priced supersport motorcycles on the market. 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.

2027 BMW F 450 RR: A Brilliant Little Sports Bike That Looks Like a Cheap Knock-Off?
BMW has unveiled its new A2-friendly F 450 RR, promising genuine supersport performance, impressive electronics and an accessible entry into the RR family. At £6,730, it might be one of the most interesting sports bikes of 2027. There's just one rather large elephant in the room…

New Kawasaki Versys 900 (2027) – Clever, Capable and Competitively Priced. But Has Kawasaki Got Its Priorities Right?
New Kawasaki Versys 900 (2027) – Clever, Capable and Competitively Priced. But Has Kawasaki Got Its Priorities Right? The new Kawasaki Versys 900 and 900 SE have arrived with a 122 PS inline-four engine, radar-assisted safety technology and a surprisingly attractive price tag. On paper, there's plenty to like. But in an increasingly competitive sports-touring market, has Kawasaki spent its money in the right places?

2027 Honda Rebel 1100: New Colours, Same Big-Twin Attitude
2027 Honda Rebel 1100: New Colours, Same Big-Twin Attitude. Cruisers don’t all need to be enormous, dripping in chrome or powered by an engine that looks like it belongs in a small aircraft. 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.
