Triumph and Bajaj, Moto Guzzi, and the Motorcycle Industry Council are in the news this week.
I write motorcycle news over at Web Bike World, and at the end of the week, I pull together all of the news stories that are the most important to me and share them here as well.
Here’s a look at the news stories I think you need to see this week.
Moto Guzzi Is Selling A Lot Of V85 TT Motorcycles
Moto Guzzi’s V85 TT motorcycle is a big hit with consumers and folks are trading in their BMWs and Triumphs to get one. This bike is having a big impact on the company.
Triumph and Bajaj Will Probably Work Together
The name of the game here is middleweight motorcycles from 400cc to 800cc. Bajaj needs a good 800cc, which Triumph has and Triumph wants a smaller displacement bike, which Bajaj has. Nothing is set in stone yet, but it could come soon.
Motorcycle Industry Council Crafts a Long Term Plan to Get New Riders
Motorcycling needs to attract new riders, and the MIC is working on a plan with a research group to help make that happen. The council doesn’t have a plan yet, but it’s coming soonish.
