At the end of every week, I like to do a roundup of the motorcycle news stories that broke during the week.
Honda, the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, and UK motorcycle and scooter sales made the cut this week.
Here’s a look at the best news stories of this past week.
Honda Unveils the 2021 CBR600RR
Honda’s new 2021 CBR600RR offers up a revised engine, new body, and electronics pulled from the CBR1000RR-R Fireblade. The bike looks like a fantastic machine, but it will not come to the U. S. unfortunately.
UK Sales of Scooters and Motorcycles Jumps Considerably
It’s driven by commuters who would rather not ride public transit or take taxis. Getting on a bike is a low-cost way of getting to work and getting around. Scooters are selling the fastest.
South Dakota Department of Health Confirms COVID-19 Case from Sturgis
A man who attended the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally has been diagnosed with COVID-19. He was at the rally and had the potential to spread the virus. It will be interesting to see if other cases pop up now that the rally has ended.
