15 Awesome New Motorcycles Rolling Out Right Now

Radian is looking to establish a new metric of speed with the EXR: battery changes. According to the Dutch startup, the electric moto’s trick InfiniPack system allows for swaps in 30 seconds or less. What’s more, it comes with an 8.6-kWh Endurance pack that’s good for up to 72 miles or seven hours of riding, and there’s also a lightweight ‘Sprint’ option that promises to shave 25 pounds off the curb weight. With a 336V electric motor rated for 70 horsepower and 782 lb-ft of torque, it’s a simple twist-and-go experience that can be tuned through an accompanying app.

Eye-popping things are bound to happen when you recruit legendary racer-turned-custom-builder Roland Sands to give your bike a makeover. That’s certainly the case here, as Royal Enfield’s Shotgun 650 gets a beautiful black-and-gold bespoke treatment inspired by 1980s AMA racing bikes. Toward that end, it features retro superbike-derived bodywork including a striking, angular tail unit, plus upgraded suspension, RSD-designed five-spoke Morris wheels, shift levers and footpegs and a glorious 2-1 S&S race exhaust. Adding to the appeal are a unique front fender strut, wide bars and a nod to Southern California hot rodding via finned details on the strut, engine and side covers.

QJMotor’s SRK 125 R1 is an evolution of the SRK 125 R. Accordingly, in addition to a set of prominent winglets up front, it also boasts a slight weight decrease and some wider tires. As eye-catching as the aerodynamic provisions are, their effect is somewhat questionable, as the R1 comes powered by a 125cc single-cylinder engine making all of 15 horsepower.

Based on the BMW M 1000 RR Competition model and limited to 115 total units, this special-edition moto boasts all the standard equipment found on that star, most notably the punchy 999cc engine making 205 horsepower at 13,000 rpm, 83 lb-ft of torque at 11,100 rpm and a top speed of 189 miles per hour. Unique to this treatment is a British Racing Green Uni Matt paint scheme, complete with custom TT graphics spotlighting selected sections of the legendary Snaefell Mountain Course: left-hand turns on the left, right-hand turns on the right fairing side. Additional touches include a carbon airbox cover adorned with the TT course and TT logo, graphic accents on the Satin Chrome-painted aluminum tank and a motorsport-inspired Alcantara saddle, plus unique milled numbering (out of 115) on the top yoke, backed up by a certificate of authenticity.

For the 2027 model year, Husqvarna has given its off-road models a rad colorway inspired by iconic 1980s motocrossers like the CR500. In practice, this means that each variation comes decked out with a fresh white frame and old-school graphics. Moreover, as part of Husqvarna’s updates, bikes such as the four-stroke FC 250 benefit from modernizations like WP XACT suspension, a quickshifter, traction control and launch control. Add to that Brembo brakes, Dunlop Geomax rubber and selectable engine maps, and it makes for an update that’s retro-leaning while still bringing the latest and greatest.

Ducati says: “The Panigale V4 S 100 is based on the Panigale V4 S: the ultimate fusion born from a magical combination of sophisticated technology and sensual beauty, heir to a successful saga. The livery is a tribute to the 750 Imola Desmo with which Paul Smart and Bruno Spaggiari won the Imola 200 race in 1972. The Panigale V4 S becomes the technical and emotional support for a livery rooted in one of the most memorable chapters of Ducati history.”

Ducati says: “The Panigale V2 S 100 revisits the 750 Super Sport Desmo that won the 1975 Italian road racing championship. It is developed from the Panigale V2 S: the lightest ever Panigale, it marked a watershed moment in the history of Ducati sports twins because, for the first time, it was not derived from the higher-capacity motorcycle racing in Superbike. With this special edition, technical and style elements become part of the story, transforming the Panigale V2 S 100 into an object that combines performance and heritage.”

Ducati says: “The Streetfighter V4 S 100 reinterprets the black and gold elegance of the 1979 900 SD Darmah. It stems from the latest generation Streetfighter V4: the ultimate expression of the Fight Formula applied to the best-ever Panigale. Its character is defined by a balance of power, control and precision, designed to ensure an engaging, high-octane riding experience. With this special edition, the Streetfighter V4 S becomes part of Collezione100, serving as a bridge between contemporary vision and brand heritage.”

Ducati says: “The Diavel V4 RS 100 pays homage to the 1979 900 Replica, one of the most iconic liveries in Ducati history that, in turn, recalls the legendary win at the 1978 Tourist Trophy. It combines stage presence and control, blending a cruiser stance with sports attitude and ensuring acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.5 seconds. The Desmosedici Stradale engine becomes part of the story, not only for its performance but for its technical identity. Every element contributes to a precise balance of power and fluidity, muscularity and sophistication.”

Ducati says: “Monster 100 channels the spirit of the 2008 Monster S4Rs Tricolore, combining the essence of today’s Ducati naked bikes with a livery that marked the end of the very first, iconic generation. It represents the evolution of a Ducati icon, a bike that has been able to transcend time without losing its identity. With its essential design and immediate response, the legend that is Monster continues to be built on balance, lightness, and control. Every line reflects a pure, authentic approach to motorcycling, where simplicity defines the riding experience.”

Ducati says: “The Multistrada V4 RS 100 combines touring spirit and Ducati sports attitude, integrating all the performance of the RS version with the Desmosedici Stradale engine and the tradition of the 1979 500 SL Pantah, the bike that marked the start of a new technical era for Ducati. It gives the Ducati sport bike concept a touring twist, with a character that combines thrilling riding dynamics with control and fluidity, designed for those seeking excitement as well as versatility. The engine defines a clear, technical identity while every solution is geared toward the connection between rider and road.” 

Ducati says: “The Scrambler 100 embodies the refined, contemporary freedom of the Scrambler 800 Nightshift and the authentic spirit of the 1962 250 Scrambler, the model that established Ducati in the American market. It reimagines the Scrambler 800 Nightshift as an authentic, urban bike. Its character is all about balance, ease of riding and instant pleasure. The lines are clean, the feeling direct, the approach relaxed but deliberate, translating to a bike that invites the rider to enjoy the road, leaving room for personal style and intuitive control.” 

Ducati says: “The Hypermotard V2 SP 100 translates the most extreme Ducati racing instinct into a vision shaped by the 1975 860 ’24 Horas de Montjuïc,’ combining contemporary fun-bike attitude with the iconic endurance that represented an important racing season for the Bolognese manufacturer. Lightweight, clean and built to amplify the rider’s input, the riding is all about precision and pure enjoyment. With its V2 twin engine, this bike embodies the essence of extreme riding, integrating benchmark performance with an aggressive design and cutting-edge technology.”

Ducati says: “The XDiavel V4 100 blends the muscular character of the Ducati cruiser with the racing heritage of the 750 Super Sport special nicknamed ‘California Hot Rod,’ in celebration of the historic win at Daytona in 1977. It reimagines the concept of Ducati performance through a cruiser lens, combining a powerful stage presence with precise, controlled riding. The proportions are stretched and the posture relaxed, but dynamic behavior remains faithful to the brand’s sports spirit, ensuring both comfort and responsiveness, style and substance, for an intense but accessible experience. 

Ducati says: “The DesertX 100 melds today’s Ducati adventure attitude and the 1981 Pantah ‘Ice,’ an unconventional concept that took the Bolognese brand off-road, to the ice tracks, becoming one of the brand’s boldest visual statements. Created in response to an authentic need for adventure, the bike is designed to offer control, balance and a consistent feeling on any terrain, and particularly off-road. The riding position, chassis and ergonomics work together to ensure confidence, precision and freedom of movement, both on and off the beaten track.”
