If you’ve ever wondered how many types of motorcycles there are, the past couple weeks of two-wheeled news will give you an idea.

Over that brief span, we’ve spotted track motos, cruisers, street bikes, ADVs, electrics, scramblers and rally racers, to name just a few.

We’ve also become reacquainted with big names such as BMW, Ducati, Honda, KTM and Royal Enfield while getting to know lesser-known brands including Bimota, CFMoto, Dab, Morbidelli and Yezdi.

Catch up on everything you might have missed lately below.

Bimota KB998 Rimini Elite

As an even more focused and hard-edged version of the Bimota KB998 Rimini, the Elite is effectively a track-dominating WSBK machine you can buy for yourself. In practice, this means the bike tips the scales at a svelte 388 pounds dry while also making a total of 215 thundering horsepower from its Kawasaki-sourced inline-four. To accommodate those ridiculous figures, Provec Racing has added a host of top-dollar parts, including everything from upgraded Showa suspension and Brembo brakes to OZ wheels, an Akrapovič pipe and GBRacing covers. With the purchase of this rare and pricey machine, buyers also get some track time with the Bimota by Kawasaki Racing Team riders.

2026 CFMoto 450CL-C AMT

Like the original 450CL-C, this retro-styled beauty boasts a liquid-cooled 449cc twin-cylinder inline engine making 40 horsepower at 8,000 rpm and 31 ft-lbs of torque at 6,250 rpm, plus modern features such as dual-channel ABS, LED lights and a 3.6-inch round TFT display. Where it sets itself apart is with its automated manual transmission (AMT), complemented by a low-speed creep function that lets an idling bike move gently during stop-and-go traffic, parking and tight maneuvers. There’s even a finger-triggered manual mode with an automatic override for the safest shifting imaginable.

2026 Honda CB300R

Honda’s most approachable and affordable street bike easily ranks among the best entry-level options, thanks to rider-friendly qualities including a 31.6-inch seat height, 316-pound curb weight, capable suspension and standard ABS. The 286cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder four-stroke engine makes a claimed 31 horsepower at 9,000 rpm and 20.3 lb-ft of torque at 8,000 rpm, punchy enough for city commuting and two-lane bliss, while full LED lighting helps you see and be seen and a modern LCD display keeps key metrics such as RPMs, speed, current gear position and fuel level in easy view.

Ducati Factory Made Multistrada V4 Rally

Introduced in mid-February with other Multistrada V4 models, Ducati’s Factory Made program now extends to the brand’s best long-distance adventure bike, which boasts an 8-gallon fuel tank and long-travel Adaptative DSS EVO suspension, plus a 1,158cc V4 Granturismo engine making 170 horsepower to tackle anything the road or trail throws at you. The program’s enticing package of options lets you customize the bike right on the Borgo Panigale assembly line with a wide variety of paint schemes, as well as three variants of spoked wheels, different Brembo Stylema caliper colors and bonus configuration possibilities including seat options and additional accessories.

2026 CFMoto 1000 MT-X/2027 CFMoto Ibex 950

Already available in Europe with the MT-X nameplate, this liter-class ADV will carry the Ibex moniker into the North American market, where its estimated price point of $12,000-ish would undercut similar-sized competitors. And though the brand may not yet have the off-road pedigree of Honda or BMW, this bike’s KTM-derived bona fides are legit. Highlights include a 947cc engine making 111.3 horsepower at 8500 rpm and 77.4 lb.-ft. at 6250 rpm, nine inches of front and rear suspension travel, Brembo brakes and Bosch-powered ABS and traction control.

Brabus x Dab Urban E First Edition

Although the venerated cult-favorite customizer has previously partnered with KTM, this is the first time Brabus has taken the reins on a motorcycle. With the help of Dab Motors, that has resulted in the Urban E, a stunning commuter moto with a respectable 93-mile range, 75mph top speed, 350 lb-ft of torque and 37 horsepower. But the real stunner is the First Edition, which sees an all-over color scheme in your choice of four distinct, eye-catching hues.

2026 KTM 1390 Super Duke RR TRACK

On the heels of the fierce new 1390 Super Duke RR we covered just a couple weeks back comes this ultralight track-only edition optimized to be a lean, mean, knee-dragging machine. According to KTM, the Mattighofen-made bike is “devoid of any components that could make it street-legal,” with fresh titanium and carbon fiber components further lightening the load. Those moves take it down under 400 pounds, some 20 pounds lighter than the regular RR. That’s a heck of a proposition for a bike that, thanks to a souped-up 1350 cc LC8 V-twin engine and full Akrapovic Evolution Line exhaust system, makes an absolutely screaming 193 horsepower and 111 ft-lbs of torque. It’s limited to 100 units, and pricing has yet to be announced.

2026 Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 Apex

Building from the well-received Guerrilla’s platform, this sporty revamp features the same steel twin spar frame, Tripper Dash and 452cc Sherpa engine making 39.5 horsepower at 8,000 rpm and 29.5 lb.-ft. of torque at 5,550 rpm. The differences include lower handlebars, which put the rider in a more engaged, aggressive position, recalibrated Sport and Street ride modes and a tire swap, to Vredestein Centauro STs, road-focused rubber that delivers better grip in wet or otherwise suboptimal conditions. The Apex bikes also get a flyscreen, rim tape, a rear seat cowl and a color-matched front cowl, plus new paint schemes including Apex Red, Apex Black and Twilight Blue (as well as an existing option called Shadow Ash).

2026 Yezdi Scrambler

Hailing from the small-displacement oasis that is India, this retro-styled bike has all the makings of the ultimate off-road gateway drug, aside from the nagging little lack of US availability. That’s a shame, because the 32-inch seat height, lean 384-pound weight and small but spirited 334cc Katar engine sound more fun than intimidating. Throw in the capable suspension, switchable traction control, semi-knobby tires, fresh paint schemes and presumably wallet-friendly price, and this Scrambler would be a mighty welcome sight on our shores.

Morbidelli N125V

This small-displacement wonder’s style is either “inspired” by the iconic Ducati Monster or a blatant ripoff, but no matter which, it’s the customer who wins. After all, that just makes it a great-looking street moto … with a price that would likely fall under $3,500 if it ever became available stateside. Just don’t expect Monster power: the beginner-friendly bike’s 124.9cc V-twin engine makes a relatively benign 13.8 horsepower and 8.04 ft-lbs of torque … which should still make for plenty of cheap thrills zipping around town.

2027 KTM 450 Rally Replica

KTM’s 450 Rally Replica is the closest thing you can get to the Dakar-dominating bike, a machine that’s taken 12 of the last 21 wins at the arduous endurance race. Accordingly, along with a specially engineered hydroformed frame, some rally-ready gearing and a trick dual-radiator setup, it also brings a three-piece tank stowing up to 34.5 liters of fuel. Complemented by a carbon fiber nav tower, some fully adjustable WP Pro suspension and Brembo brakes, it’s made only better by thoughtful ergo touches like foam grips and wider footpegs. Just 100 are to be built for 2026, eight of which will receive the Luciano Benavides factory treatment.

BMW R1300 GS Adventure Dark Edition

The renowned German brand’s biggest and most capable ADV gets arguably its best-looking treatment yet via this blacked-out makeover, regrettably a BMW Motorrad France-exclusive offering. The Triple Black style gets outfitted with black spoked wheels, a high tinted windshield, tinted deflectors and black knee cut-outs on the tank, plus heated seats and an alarm. It’s priced at €22,900 (roughly $26,942 USD), about €1,700 ($2,000) more than the standard version of the bike, and available (in France anyway) through the end of June.

Segway Xaber 300

Segway’s Xaber 300 is a new electrified challenger to the established off-road segment, and it has the potential to punch far above its weight. Quite literally, as its 21-kW peak output and its svelte 187-pound heft mean that it boasts a best-in-class power-to-weight ratio of 0.25 kW/kg. Moreover, because of the Xaber 300’s 3-kWh+ battery capacity, Segway says the bike offers a segment-leading range of up to 62 miles when in 150 mode. Add to that tech like a three-mode power controller and a virtual Wheelie Coach, and it’s clear that the brand has its sights set on shaking up the incumbents.
