Let this incredibly wide array of newsworthy bikes serve as a roaring reminder that the two-wheeled world truly runs the gamut.

They say variety is the spice of life. I say variety is the spice of bike.

That truth becomes apparent to me as I survey the motorcycles we’ve been covering in just the past few weeks.

Ranging from a scrappy 125cc street bike to a rumbling 1200cc cruiser— with a couple EVs for good measure — the following roundup is one wild mix of two-wheeled wonder, and I am here for it.

Scroll down to catch up on all the latest and greatest from the likes of BMW, Buell, Honda, Kawasaki, KTM, Triumph and Royal Enfield — plus a bunch of cool brands you might not heard of.

Check them out and enjoy. After all, as The Guild Navigator insists, “the spice must flow.”

2026 BMW F 900 GS “Dark Edition”

While this upgraded variant of BMW’s excellent “touring enduro” is technically only available in France (at a sweet discount), you can cobble together your own version a la carte. The Blackstorm Metallic paint scheme is already the base color of the US model. To it you need only add the “Premium Package,” which includes Gear Shift Assist Pro and Rides Modes Pro plus a tire pressure monitor and electronic cruise control. You can also swap in off-road tires for just $55 more.

Jawa Yezdi Motorcycles

2025 Yezdi Roadster

This bike’s beating heart is a liquid-cooled 334cc single-cylinder engine making a spirited but not exactly threatening 29 horsepower and 21 pound-feet of torque. Together with a seat height of 31.3 inches and a wheelbase of 56.7 inches, that means a super-approachable, beginner-friendly ride. Meanwhile, from an aesthetic standpoint, the retro silhouette is a timeless banger, while the gorgeous matte black paint scheme also hits.

2025 Triumph Speed Twin 1200

Triumph’s Speed Twin 1200 is the most powerful modern classic in the Bonneville range. Its liquid-cooled 1200cc engine makes 103.5 horsepower at 7,750 rpm and 83 lb-ft of torque at 4,250 rpm. In addition to striking retro looks, then, it also comes with respectable performance under the saddle.

Sporty motorcycle with a sleek design featuring a bright orange fuel tank and front fairing, black frame, and black seat. It has a visible rear suspension spring, black alloy wheels with disc brakes, and a compact exhaust system. The handlebars include rearview mirrors, and the overall look is modern and aggressive.KTM

2025 KTM 250 Duke

Encased within this approachable naked street bike’s steel trellis main frame and aluminum subframe, the engine is a liquid-cooled 249cc single-cylinder 4-stroke making 31 hp and 25Nm of torque. Not huge numbers, but plenty for urban hijinks and rural twisties, especially considering its other specs. Like the larger Dukes, it comes complete with a 5-inch LCD dashboard controlled via switch cubes and pairable with a smartphone, enabling you to rock out, take calls and head in the right direction via turn-by-turn navigation.

2025 Kawasaki Ninja 300

Assuming the US version arriving next year is derived from the lil’ Ninja available in India and other markets, we’ll be looking at a 296cc parallel twin engine delivering smooth, torquey power at low to medium revs and more potent acceleration at higher rpm — or so Kawasaki says. Regardless, riding the bike will be even easier than it was last decade thanks to an assist and slipper clutch, which limits back torque and makes the clutch lever more responsive, requiring just a light pull to engage and let you shift gears.

Honda CB1000F

Silver and blue Honda CB1000R motorcycle with a retro-inspired design, featuring a round headlight with a small black windscreen, black frame, and exposed engine components. The bike has a black seat, dual front disc brakes, and a large silver exhaust on the right side.Honda

Honda CB1000F SE

This long-awaited roadster derives its engine and chassis not from the CB1000R but from the CB1000 Hornet, which means a Fireblade-based, liquid-cooled 999cc inline-four making 150 horsepower — plus a similar steel frame, shocks, brakes and wheels. The retro body style is obviously a big departure — the Hornet is much more of a streetfighter — and a welcome one given the enduring popularity of this sort of silhouette, which Triumph has been dining out on for years with its various Bonnevilles.

Honda EV Fun

This long-simmering concept recently won a prestigious Red Dot Design award, and Honda says it’s (finally) going into production early next year. That would make it the first true Honda electric motorcycle, and a pretty snazzy-looking one at that. While its claimed 62 miles of range and non-swappable power source are downers, Honda’s sterling rep has us believing it will still be a battery-fueled banger.

Buell Super Cruiser

While many details about the Super Cruiser remain under wraps, the known specs and features are promising. The beating heart is a Buell 1,190cc liquid-cooled V-twin making 175 horsepower and 100 ft-lbs of torque. Elsewhere it boasts a number of name components, including Fox front and rear suspension, a Brembo dual-disc braking system and Dunlop Sportmax Q5A tires. Thanks to the input of Roland Sands Design, the overall result is throwback style backed up by modern performance, promising you’ll look good stopped at a traffic light — and look great accelerating out of it.

2026 CFMoto 750SR-S

The Chinese brand’s first four-cylinder sport bike is simultaneously turning heads and raising questions about performance versus price. It comes to play with a 749cc DOHC engine making 110 horsepower and 59 lb-ft of torque. From a handling standpoint, it boasts an upside-down fork and a rear monoshock, plus a 20-stage adjustable steering damper, Brembo brakes, cornering ABS and an upshift-only quickshifter. With a wet weight of 490 pounds, it’s hardly the lightest thing on the road, though its seat height of 31.7 inches should leave it approachable for less experienced sport bike riders.

Royal Enfield Scram 450 motorcycle in matte grey with black accents, featuring a round headlight, knobby tires, dual rearview mirrors, and a single seat. The bike has a rugged, modern scrambler design with visible exhaust pipes and a compact frame.Royal Enfield

2025 Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450

The second bike built on Royal Enfield’s new K platform engine (after the Himalayan 450), it represents a big step outside of the brand’s charming retro-styled comfort zone. With a fresh look, a compact but modern power plant and notable tech upgrades, the brand and bike are betting on the idea that a better, hipper yet still affordable midsize bike is just what much of the market has been craving. Our own test ride found many more pros than cons, meaning the future looks bright for a very different kind of RE bike.

Nuen N1-S

With premium parts from the likes of Bosch and J.Juan, the aluminum-framed N1-S boasts a motor with a max output of 24 kW and 190 Nm. That translates to a top speed of roughly 81 mph and presumably pretty zippy acceleration. Nuen also claims a city range of 124 miles and a maximum range of 152, if you take it easy and squeeze the most out of its regen braking. Meanwhile, the neo-retro scrambler aesthetic appears to extend to actual off-roading, courtesy of high-performance suspension and brakes, plus light dual sport tires wrapping 17-inch wheels.

Honda

Honda GB350C

This retro-styled beauty follows the GB350 and GB350S, bringing with it subtle, military-inspired colors in slate and sand, plus the same air-cooled 348cc single as its stablemates. With roughly 19 horsepower and 21 lb-ft of torque on tap, it won’t win you any races. However, keep in mind that the Honda can manage an impressive 90 mpg because of its economical engine. What’s more, at just a touch over 400 pounds wet, it’s not like this bike needs a lot of grunt to be a good time.

Hero Glamour X

The Glamour X isn’t exactly gonna knock your socks off with its power and speed. Operated via a five-speed gearbox, the air-cooled 124.7cc single makes 10.7 horsepower and 10.6 pound-feet of torque. Still, that’s plenty of oomph to nip and tuck your way through city gridlock and probably tackle some light twisties beyond the city limits, too. More notably, weighing just under 280 pounds (for the higher-end disc-brake version) and making use of Hero’s i3S idle stop-start system, the Glamour X boasts a claimed … wait for it … 148 miles per gallon.
