10 Best New & Updated Sports Motorcycles For 2025!

[@spartanx169x]

As an American, I definitely prefer your updates to any US KZbinr for news. Thanks for including USD prices.

[@motobob]

Appreciate the feedback! US has become our biggest audience so we'll try to include more US prices and measurements in future 👍

[@Jagknorr]

This! I usually just hear the UK price and assume its similar in the US, but thats not always the case. As well as we don’t always get the same models 😢

[@ChapoRR]

Yea for real because most UK dudes don’t think of us. You already have all the good bikes lol

[@BigCarKilla]

Soooo the Panagale V2 is actually dead, and they’ve just made the SuperSport a bit more spicy. Got it.

[@nlmaster9811]

They butchered the v2 and v4, it’s heartbreaking.

[@RodgerRamjet-s8g]

100% agree, also not sure why the single cylinder 698 Hypermotard is shown here as surely it is the 950 twin that will get the update.

[@dmartin23]

You guys just comment and don’t know anything about racing or bikes clearly. The new v2 is faster than the old one due to power to weight ratio. Go read something.

[@johnnyblue4799]

@@dmartin23 so the new V2 has 120hp/176kg = 0.68 and the old one 155hp/193kg = 0.8... so what are you talking about?

[@RodgerRamjet-s8g]

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@dmartin23this is incorrect even Ducati admits it is 0.2 sec slower around Vallelunga than the previous model. A very good show for the new bike however it is still slower. The old bike in S trim had a power to weight of 0.8 hp per Kg, the new bike is 0.68 hp per Kg.

[@robertgagne9355]

MV Agusta. My pick.

[@SV6Noobie]

Hey, thank you for the addition of USD$. I know we’re the red headed step child of the motorcycle world, but some of us really appreciate your videos, even if we don’t get a lot of the bikes available on your side of the pond.

[@aluisious]

The USA is a huge market though. I wonder how much of the US market is just California, where we have tons of excellent roads and can ride year round.

[@revmatchproductions]

[@andrewjackson3959]

Zontes 703 RR seems to be a better bike than the CFMoto in pretty much every aspect. The only problem is availability. They don't have the dealer network of CFMoto.

[@williamfischer3990]

Wow the Panigale V2 looks good. I love that nice elegant design without the wings. It reminds me of the 1199 Panigale.

[@101BadBreath]

I am not a huge fan of Italian brands, but I have to agree with you here, Ducati has knocked it out of the park with the 2025 V2 on all accounts.

[@thecornishbiker9323]

Aprilia needs to be in regiani colours like the old rs250. That would look soooo goooood

[@101BadBreath]

Yeah not sure about the colour, the best for would be the Factory with maybe some red dash tape on the rims.

[@i3lack1ce17]

I’m not sure if the 2025 Fireblade is new for the EU market or not, but it definitely is here in Thailand, and my goodness, isn’t it magnificent??

I think for me the video ended at 6:00 as the price went beyond what I could reasonably afford, but that still does mean there are excellent bikes for most people.

Will KTM be able to deliver that 990?

[@williamclarke2020]

The Aprillias in Sting Ray Blue are a friggin' knockout! One of the best colour ways since the 1980's Suzuki GSX-Rs. Great coverage, Rob.

[@fyorbane]

Agreed. I have a '22' Tuono 1100 V4 in gun metal grey metallic. It looks nice and classy but a little understated. I am thinking of getting it painted in the Sting Ray blue .

[@petermartin3806]

Another great presentation, cheers fella.

[@p305-mrworldwide9]

Panagale would be my pick but the ktm does look stunning but will have a stupid price tag so everyone will go for the r9 but it's nice to see the rs660 getting more power

[@revmatchproductions]

r9 is a better street bike. most riders think they want a "race" bike cause its cool and fast but they have no idea how raw a real race bike is. most have also never been to a track and never plan on it. the ktm is built for racing, not going to starbucks to try to look cool lol. not saying you are, but most sport bike riders are just trying to look cool hahaha

[@p305-mrworldwide9]

@revmatchproductions if you want a all round bike from this list for day to day riding or even going to the track you would be best off with the lowest cc bike in practical terms I agree with the ktm being designed for the track but the r9 I don't think will sell as well as people think in the UK it won't sell well in America and Germany it will sell like hot cakes

[@willgarrod9907]

KTM will survive, I’ll buy a new one this year without any hesitation! I have 2 already and a history of KTM ownership…. The orange bikes are the coolest👍

[@justwoody6511]

Love my original RS660 more than the new one. These new winglets are ridiculous imo!

[@SonriseSunset]

Is anyone going to buy any KTM until their financial situation becomes more clear? Like will they survive their miss-managment?

[@RPDXC]

I'd take a risk with them if I really wanted a ktm bike. K don't think the brand is going anywhere. They are determined to survive one way or another. But I've heard many bad things about their customer service and getting oem parts when you need them. They would also have to throw in all their rider aids for free, for me to buy one new. Having to pay another grand just to unlock stuff already on the bike, was a terrible decision by ktm.

[@kostasjezuz4846]

All moves to save the company where already planned BEFORE they made (by themselves, not a leak through media) the announcement about the economic problems. The rescue plan is already well in motion. I'd buy the KTM if the pricing was good and they threw in all the extras for free that are already on the bike but you have to pay extra to unlock... I'd never buy a KTM if I have to pay extra to unlock these features though.

[@rabahk.7089]

I have a Ninja 650 and i reaaally want the 1100SX.

[@Wasabi-one]

I saw that bike today. Awesome bike but pretty much exactly the same as last years 1000. Having said that… the electronic updates and tuning is definitely worth it. Go for it.

[@6tdegrees]

Ducati specs always crack me up "wet weight... but not including full tank" 😂😂 so in reality its lost bugga all more than likely 189kg wet

[@Whatever-2u]

I hate the mid capacity sports bikes with low raving dull engines. 95hp, 105? MV looks amazing.

[@arahyabayat1288]

Ummm...price tag

[@Whatever-2u]

@arahyabayat1288 I didn't say I'd buy one. I said I liked the looks. If I wanted sth that looks similarish and is affordable, I'd buy a GSX-R 1000, the older one.

[@mark675]

Me too, watered down and soft like everything these days

[@Wasabi-one]

The emissions crap kills the performance. By now almost everything needs tuning. 2wdw will take care of most bikes. And those you speak of… got to keep that over 5k rpm otherwise yes… they’re slow and you shouldn’t compare them to a rocket ship like gsxr. Different level of a bike. Meant for different rider.

[@101BadBreath]

I am sorry they hurt your feelings, certainly not dull - maybe the problem is you.

[@ironkcirb285]

"bingo winglets" lol

[@mr_svy]

Whats the difference is s1k standard,pro and msport in 2025 model?

[@ukvamp]

Panigale v2 looks good and does appeal but to me it's really an expensive supersport in a panigale dress V2 hasn't got cheaper, the supersport just got more expensive

[@Dushyant933]

14:27 this is how winglets should look like. Unlike bmw s1000rr, panigale v4 or rsv4 which looks horrible, this is how winglets should be well designed, well integrated to not just provide downforce but should look really good

[@theriderdtm8650]

None of the above ✅️✌🏻😊

[@vegassasin]

I'd take a slightly used diavel gen 2 over anything here

[@thebrowns5337]

Good old Kawasaki - torque is much better than BHP for road use. Thankfully they aren't scared of the folk that buy bikes based on bragging rights

[@MTBrider26]

Really.... Kawasaki don't care about bragging rights. Remember the Hayabusa and Kawasaki rushing to develop the Ninja 1400 to pip the Busa or how about the H2 and all the other Supercharged variants. Lastly all their ram air claims for their supersport range that can't be proven on a dyno but somehow push the peak power to just over what the competition were to claim. Kawasaki are the biggest spec sheet competitors in the industry.

[@mahdavimail]

Yamaha R9 my pick ❤

[@exothermal.sprocket]

RS660: stupid winglets. Why all the winglets. They don't provide anything to 99.9999% of the owners. Ninja 1100SX: so far in the aftermarket (yes, ECU tuning has begun), it's tuned to 140 wheel hp (@10k rpm), and a whopping 86 ft-lb torque (@ 7k rpm). More tuning coming! Ducati V2 engine: very good direction with VVT, valve springs, light weight, broad usable torque. Long live v-twins. KTM 990 RC R: I really do hope KTM survives, and their parallel twins no longer have problems. I do hope this, don't want to see them fail. S1000RR: got to be the UGLIEST FACE in superbikes. I bet nothing happens below 9,000 rpm. Panigale V4S: Best looking superbike in the business, minus the catfish whiskers. By far the most advanced technologically. No stupid 1L limit, with 1103cc. Reverse rotating crank. MV Agusta F3 Competitione: 160 horsepower from a 800cc triple? SERIOUSLY?!! The price is outrageous, yes. At least the front wings are nice and tucked along the main body lines.

[@imthatguy4011]

Why are motorcycle companies making their bikes slower?

Enough with the stealthy black plastic and all these riders in ads with the cool black visor running in and out of the trees.. Aerodynamic front mudguards too, why bother? GP bikes used to have more functional mudguards. Oh yeah sell us a radiator guard and a pressure washer. I want a bike that looks like a bike and not one that’s been made to look like either a cartoon drawn fly or a giant bird’s head. I see a Ducati v2 and i want to offer it some bird seed. There’s nothing premium about black finishes, it’s just a boring dysfunctional lazy hazardous dour and sad design choice…if you get one.
