Check Out the 2025 Bimota KB998 Rimini

Bimota has pulled back the silk on its KB998 Rimini—a snarling race-bred creation distilled just enough to slip through the tight hoops of FIM homologation. “Production” feels almost too generous a term.

Bimota plans a mere 125 units by February 2025, another 125 by year’s end, with a final push to 500 by the close of 2026. Call it a tightrope act, but if they hit the mark, this Italian beast, which was briefly shown before, will grace the World Superbike grid.

Check Out the 2025 Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello Range

The Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello shook up the brand’s traditional image with its 2022 debut, boasting a liquid-cooled 1,042cc V-Twin engine, six-axis IMU, and pioneering active aerodynamics.

For 2025, this Italian thoroughbred evolves further with Euro5+ compliance, a refined transmission, and for the S variant, forward- and rear-facing radar systems—a tech leap Moto Guzzi borrowed from its Stelvio sibling.

Check Out the 2025 Triumph Rocket 3 Evel Knievel Limited Editions

The 2025 Triumph Rocket 3 Evel Knievel Limited Editions just rolled out two stunning motorcycles that tip their helmets to the daring legacy of Evel Knievel.

Check Out the 2025 Aprilia Tuono 1100 V4

The Aprilia Tuono 1100 V4 has long been a standout favorite—muscular, thrilling, and unapologetically wild. But in recent years, it seemed Aprilia’s engineers had parked this beast on the sidelines.

Minor tweaks in 2021 offered just a glimmer of attention, but now, for 2025, the Tuono V4 and V4 Factory receive a few more notable enhancements to remind everyone why they’re still contenders in the super-naked ring.

Check Out the 2025 Ducati Streetfighter V2

The 2025 Ducati Streetfighter V2 may have struggled to steal the spotlight from its big brother, the Streetfighter V4 S, but the naked 2025 edition aims to rewrite the script. Introduced in 2022, this compact brawler might’ve debuted during peak hyper-naked mania. But 2025’s updates could finally bring the attention it deserves.

Check Out the 2025 Ducati Panigale V2

The Ducati Panigale V2 has been reigning supreme in WorldSSP, thanks to Adrian Huertas and Nicolo Bulega. But for 2025, the Italians have upped the ante once again with a revamped Panigale V2—and an even hotter V2 S variant. This marks a new chapter as the first Ducati sportbike to ditch desmodromic valves, all in favor of a fresh V-twin engine.

Check Out the 2025 Moto Guzzi V7 Range

The venerable Moto Guzzi V7 line is getting a fresh jolt for 2025, just in time to mark the brand’s 104th anniversary. With nearly six decades of V7 heritage to honor, Guzzi’s latest tweaks keep the tradition alive while giving riders more punch and a modern edge.

Check Out the 2025 Moto Guzzi Stelvio Duecento Tributo

Moto Guzzi’s newest special edition, the Stelvio Duecento Tributo, pays tribute to the legendary Stelvio Pass—a route famed among thrill-seeking riders for its 88 hairpin turns and towering 2,758-meter elevation in the Eastern Alps.

This storied path, opened to travelers in 1825, marks 200 years of dramatic climbs, switchbacks, and tales of daring travelers on two (or four) wheels.
