Hard core sport bikes don’t sell like they used to, but a new category of more practical, sporty machines with less severe ergonomics has risen. Kawasaki’s Ninja 650, Honda’s CBR650R and Suzuki’s GSX-8R come to mind.
Triumph has already introduced its production motocrosser, the TF 250-X. It has race teams in place to compete in both supercross and outdoor motocross this year. The TF 250-X is a state-of-the-art machine with top-drawer components and a claimed best-in-class power-to-weight ratio.
Royal Enfield has another new model on offer, the Shotgun 650 for 2024. Powered by the familiar 648cc parallel twin making a claimed 47 horsepower, we can expect the bike available in 2024 in the U.S.
When Kawasaki acquired its ownership interest in Bimota back in 2019, it was unclear where the storied Italian brand would go. Some light was shed on that at EICMA last month.
