New Bikes Coming in 2025

[@42much1]

I am still riding my 48 year old cb400 four, and loving the sound and little power. Hoping Kawasaki and Honda really bring the new versions of 400/4.

[@acvn-hg9gy]

Mine is a bit newer, a '89 cb-1. If the 400 approaches more like 50-57hp i will very much consider it

[@RocketMan_Moto]

There seems to be quite a bit of excitement for these👍😊

[@JanParkHolm]

@@acvn-hg9gy Kawasaki's current 400cc inline4 makes 76hp ! Honda might be a bit more conservative here, but it would probably be in the ballpark.

[@nkwd007]

I wander.. where is this approach taking us. Approach of a prosperity and money culture in western Europe that makes us think about motorcycles like toys that need to be changed every year or 2. You purchase a new bike for £16K then you sell 2 years later for £10K. Obviously getting another one , probably even more expensive. What happened with having a bike for years and a friend and companion, making 60 or 80k miles. We are shown new bikes, bigger, stronger, more tech. etc etc every year. Does it mean my tiger 900 RP from 2021 is now old and much worse than the bikes from 2024? Sorry, just some nostalgic thinking :)

[@RocketMan_Moto]

You're absolutely right, no need to be sorry. Big boys toys, I guess. We just keep wanting more.

[@nigelfisher3756]

@nkwd007 Whereyit taking Us, you ask? Not to a good place, I’d wager. You pose some great questions. Consumerism is out of control. I think, given the state of western economies, lots of bike manufacturers are going to be in deep trouble within five years. I’m hoping not, but this silliness can not prevail.

[@truantray]

A lot of this is driven by riders who can't even manage the skills to check air pressure. But, I will never buy a new bike.

Mostly waiting to see what Honda will do with the Transalp. If what you said about the TA in this video comes true, then that will be my next bike. My biggest gripe with the current model is the tubed tires. So fingers crossed that Honda actually reads the review comments and addressed some of the biggest complaints. (We can hope, right?)

[@RocketMan_Moto]

It was a dealbreaker for many potential buyers, so I think it’s only a question of time, especially as RE now offer the option on the Himalayan.

[@tonyjourneyman1944]

@@arnoutvanwijk4916 it's funny with the transalp, the 3 big gripes seem to be cruise control, tubeless tires and on a lesser level, optional quick shifter. Somehow these things were not an issue for me and I care not about them. I thought about it and I think it's because I don't actually ride my bike that much recently, being winter, and so it's all a bit meh. Having said that luckily for me the only thing I'd want potentially is the quick shifter just to make it easier to change when standing up on rough tracks.

[@Snoozzzzzze]

I have one and it would have been useful to have cruise control on a recent European tour but still not a big deal. I still haven’t had a puncture on this bike but had one recently on a tubeless bike so whatever really. I carried spare tubes just in case but only because I contracted some of the paranoia that’s on you tube and other social media. I’ve had four bikes in the last 6 years and only one that is tubeless. I’m hoping to get it tuned at some point to increase torque and get rid of the flat spot at 4500 rpm, otherwise it is a good bike. Oh, I have the quick shifter which is very good but tend to use the clutch most of the time as that suits the adventure riding style.

[@JacobWillits]

Kawasaki should make a klx300 rally so honda cant just keep selling a worse bike

[@andriusbaziuk4331]

I really think manufacturers should focus on 400ish cc bikes more, honda cb400 with 4 cylinder engine looks promising

The CB 400SF would be amazing (This was my dream bike, when I got my license in 2019), I sadly just do not see it in europe. I bought the 4rr last year and I can see the justification for kawasaki, as it is a supersport. The 400SF would probably be around 200 kg and too similar to the 650R. My next bike will be an electric one, so I have to save up, although the 400SF would make me weak :D

[@RocketMan_Moto]

So you're one of the 11 :)

[@themrch4oskol206]

@@RocketMan_Moto I wish there were more than 11, especially since electric motors make the ride super fun. My mother and I split the bill on a z e-1, that our dealer was almost begging us to take off his hands. If you have not given an electric bike a try, I would highly recommend it. Nobody wants them, so a test ride is guaranteed. The ride, atleast in terms of the drivetrain, is as sophisticated as can be. Pickup and decelerating are both smooth on the chain and without any hiccup. Torque is also always an option :D Riding a single with a normal clutch or an inline four with a conventional clutch and no electronic aids, the difference is night and day. But unless Solid-State battery packs become a thing, they won't penetrate the market.

[@paulb6112]

Such an informative and entertaining video as usual RM, thankyou. I certainly have limited interest in the hyper tech, hyper performance (and hyper $$) machines. Im interested in the revival of small capacity 4 cylinder bikes, the Honda CB could be a stunner. Also the Versys500x, the 300x has long been a popular do it all machine in Australia. Also the potential revisions to the Transalp...Honda have been listening!

[@RocketMan_Moto]

Thanks, Paul. Yes, if Honda do decide to give us a Transalp II it will show an unusually quick reaction to customer feedback. It's a good bike, just needs a couple of relatively minor tweaks.

Some nice bikes in that list. I'm also hoping to see an updated NC750X with twin discs, better TFT etc (all available on the Forza 750 already). You're spot on re the Triumph 1200 "improvements". Losing the lovely clocks is a huge mis step, as is making it ergonomically more challenging for 50 and 60 somethings like myself that are struggling with dodgy knees, hips or backs. Scooters or adventure bikes are my goto rides these days though I'd love a retro. I fear that any new Honda or Kawasaki 400/4 retro will also suffer from this malaise. A huge shame, as I'd love to buy such a bike. Whilst I'm on this theme, why can't Triumph offer the ergonomically comfortable T120 with tubeless tyres (and perhaps alloys as an option) and the more powerful SpeedTwin engine? That would sell very well imo.

I'm in Australia so hopefully the new 800MT-X would be a bit cheaper than 11k Euro. I'm looking at getting into ADV riding and been looking at many different options. I could get a 10+ yo second hand 700GS or a Tiger 800 for the price of an ex demo CFMOTO 700MT. Alternatively, wait till next year when I'll have a bit more money and decide between the new 800MT-X vs a Tiger 900. 😊

[@RocketMan_Moto]

Yes, CF Motos always seem much cheaper in Australia. Lower transport costs?

[@TwistofWrist]

That is true and we don't have tariffs. Do UK and European countries have tariffs on Chinese bikes?

[@RocketMan_Moto]

Not officially, but I’m sure some countries sneakily add them in when the EU isn’t looking🙄

Hai dimenticato ktm 990 adventure, l'erede della vecchia 950-990 vincitrice della Dakar. Sono mesi che girano foto spia del prototipo che sembra simile alla Husqvarna Norden 901. Da possessore di 2 ktm spero di vederla ad EICMA e provarla presto.

For me - hornet 750 sportbike and hopefully tiger 660 rally.

[@RocketMan_Moto]

[@TheLastCrankers]

@@RocketMan_Moto I am praying for it. One day we have to hit it one day, right?... I also think they'll revamp the whole 660/850 line and unify it into the same GT Pro/Rally scheme as with the 900, dropping the 850 sport. Just makes sense to.

[@erdoganakis4972]

The first motorcycle that you called the Aprilia 457 roadster is in fact a Moto Guzzi. Triumph will for sure show a flagship naked Speed Triple with electronic suspensions, clip ons and carbon fibre wheels.

[@RocketMan_Moto]

Sorry about the error. A super Speed Triple RS would be great👍

[@brunocarmona4958]

@@RocketMan_Moto it's not a error. The majority of sites thought it was the inevitable Tuono 457. But looking closer, that bike has all the design clues of a more classic Moto Guzzi. Makes sense. Moto Guzzi will rival Triumph and Royal Enfield.

I don't see a way for honda to bring the cb400 to europe, since it's marked for discontinuation even in Japan where it is already sold, for not meeting the emissions regualtions

[@RocketMan_Moto]

I don’t think it’s the same engine, though..?

[@TheLastCrankers]

@@RocketMan_Moto I hadn't considered that to be honest, just seeing how notoriously difficult it is to make 4 cylinder engines meet regulations, I kinda assumed no one would bother with a new engine. If they managed to make a new one that meets every regulation it needs, then I will be one happy boy, with the ability to buy probably the best version of a retro UJM ever made.

[@raphaeldukhan]

If it arrives in Europe, I'd buy one in a heartbeat. This CB400 is simply beautiful!!

@@raphaeldukhan That it is, it would certainly be tempting

[@stephenwilliams1824]

Depends sometimes on how you buy a new bike. Cash, part ex or PCP. Are you a Cafe’ culture, bar hopper or world adventure rider. Putting a 100,000 miles on one motorcycle is something a lot of people either only dream of or would think the trade in price make it worthless. I am at an old age and people I associate with at rallies, bike meets or butty bars are mostly as old as me. Disposable income is becoming a tax liability.

[@RocketMan_Moto]

I like that last sentence :)

[@johnsonya3401]

Shame there's nothing about a rumoured GB750 from Honda. That hornet engine in a retro styled bike would be truly awesome! Especially if they used the same colour schemes as the 1970's bikes.

I think it's almost a certainty that the Hornet 1000 will be getting the eClutch

[@cliveomahoney4096]

Excellent vid! I don't, however, feel that your forbearance with Triumph is justified, re the 1200. They've used bargain basement OEMs on the standard bike, replacing the Brembos and the analogue dash, while increasing the price by £500! Their marketing dept must be the most cynical of the lot. Happy riding!

[@RocketMan_Moto]

The price increase is unjustified, I agree

[@MadChalet]

The BMW RT is looking more-n-more sci-fi/space age ... could be cool. Did I miss a photo of a new RS? You mention it but I missed the visual. What's Triumph thinking ... the new Speed Twin misses the mark, IMO, and 17,000 Euros (which something like $19K US)?? There isn't enough bike/tech there to justify such a high price ... are they think that riders' nostalgia will drive that much interest? All I can say is I'm glad the previous version is around. Speaking Thruxtons ... I visited a local dealer yesterday - two of the three Thruxtons were sold, so there is some interest, just not enough I guess. I'm a fan (if I had the $$ I'd be an owner.)

[@lapinobel]

Triumph...sigh...sold my r1250r because I wanted a more retro-look (stupid me) and the next iteration of the Speedtwin 1200 was high on my list, expecting the upgrades that make it an 'RS'...and then they decide to completely F* it up. I mean, the appeal of the Speedtwin to me was the retro look (not the lcd dash for gods sake), and the riding position (yeah, make it a thruxton triumph, good move!)... Guess I'll need to check the r1300r now.

[@RocketMan_Moto]
