The much-anticipated 2024 Suzuki V-Strom 800 has been unveiled through leaked official photos. This new addition to the V-Strom lineup promises a road-focused experience, and we’ve got the scoop on the details.

Earlier this summer, we hinted at the arrival of a road-centric version of the V-Strom 800DE, and now, we have a visual sneak peek at what’s in store. 

These first official photos surfaced through updated certifications in Australia, specifically for the non-DE model. While most of the information echoes what we already gathered previously, there are some intriguing revelations thanks to the latest report by Motorcycle.com.

One of the most noticeable changes is the switch from wire-spoke wheels to cast wheels. This alteration not only distinguishes the V-Strom 800 from its DE counterpart but also hints at a different riding experience. 

That said, the new model will come equipped with a 110/80-19 front tire, contrasting with the 800DE’s 90/90-21 tire, confirming a shift in tire and wheel sizes.

Moreover, a keen eye will spot differences in suspension. Although the certification data doesn’t delve into technical specifics, it’s reasonable to infer that the road-oriented V-Strom 800 may feature less suspension travel compared to the more off-road capable 800DE.

Additionally, the photos unveil that the V-Strom 800 will forgo the hand guards and bash plate that define the DE model. These omissions are likely contributing factors to the 800’s impressive 6.8kg weight reduction.

Interestingly, the standard inclusion of the high windscreen, previously available only as an accessory for the 800DE, explains the 45mm increase in height indicated in Swiss certification.

Stay tuned for more updates as we uncover more about this exciting addition to the V-Strom family.

Moto Guzzi has once again wowed the motorcycling community with the debut of its latest offering, the Moto Guzzi V7 Stone Corsa.

  • The V7 Stone Corsa was revealed at the brand’s recent Open House gathering.
  • The retro café racer special edition strikes a fine balance between classic charm and contemporary tweaks.

The bike’s aesthetic is an exciting departure from its sibling, the V7 Stone, most notably with its new two-tone silver and red paint that stretches seamlessly from its headlight cowl to its tail. The splash of red beginning just below the iconic Moto Guzzi emblem on the tank and extending through the side panels is especially eye-catching.

For enthusiasts who appreciate the little details, the V7 Stone Corsa doesn’t disappoint. The handlebars come equipped with sleek bar-end mirrors, and a special plaque adorns the top clamp, marking the bike’s unique edition status.

Keen observers might also notice the absence of fork gaiters, providing the machine with a sportier, refined edge. Additionally, the bike’s filler cap has been upgraded to a billet item and boasts a striking anodised black finish.

The tail end of this machine also comes with its own surprises. The passenger seat, for instance, is cloaked with a removable cowl, exuding a nostalgic racer vibe. And for those who love continuity in design, the new headlight cowl and flyscreen resonate with the bike’s two-tone theme. Even if it’s not the most practical addition, it undoubtedly makes a visual statement.

Colour options? Well, the V7 Stone Corsa keeps it simple and elegant with a single metallic grey and bright red scheme.

Under its beautiful facade, the bike retains the reliable 744cc V-twin engine from the stock V7 Stone. Riders can expect a smooth 51hp and 55Nm of torque, promising a ride that’s as comfortable as the bike is captivating.

With the launch of the V7 Stone Corsa, Moto Guzzi continues to bridge the gap between time-honored traditions and modern-day flair. This is one bike that looks to the past for inspiration but rides straight into the future.

Adventure-touring enthusiasts, brace yourselves for some thrilling news – Honda is gearing up for significant updates to its Africa Twin Adventure Sports models.

  • The anticipation is building as certification data submitted in Switzerland hints at substantial changes in store for these adventure-touring motorcycles.
  • the 2024 Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin is expected to feature an all-new radar system technology to pave the way for adaptive cruise control and blind spot detection. 

The preliminary data pertains specifically to the new Africa Twin Adventure Sports models, available with both manual and dual-clutch transmission options. While the data remains incomplete, the released information offers a tantalizing glimpse of what’s in the pipeline. As of now, there is no available data regarding updates for the non-Adventure Sports models, but we can expect that information to surface shortly.

The good news for fans of the Africa Twin is that the new engine will maintain the same 1,084cc displacement. Peak horsepower output remains consistent at 101hp @ 7,500 rpm. However, the torque output is set to receive a boost, increasing from the current 104Nm @ 6250rpm to an impressive 112Nm @ 5,500 rpm.

But that’s not all. According to the certification data, there are changes afoot in the chassis department as well. The new model will feature a slightly shorter wheelbase, measuring 1,570mm. This represents a reduction of 5mm when compared to the Africa Twin’s current wheelbase. The overall length has also seen a slight decrease of 25mm.

One notable detail uncovered by the certification data is an increase in weight. Both the DCT and manual versions of the new Africa Twin Adventure Sports are listed with an added weight of 3kg. The DCT model is noted with a weight of 328kg, including a 75kg rider, translating to a curb weight of 253kg.

In comparison, the current model is certified at 250kg. Similarly, the manual transmission Adventure Sports model lists a new weight of 318kg, including a 75kg rider, resulting in a curb weight of 243kg. This marks an increase from the claimed curb weight of 240kg for the manual transmission 2023 Africa Twin Adventure Sports.

While the source of this additional weight remains undisclosed in the certification data, speculations suggest it may be attributed to the integration of a radar system. Such technology could pave the way for adaptive cruise control and blind-spot detection systems. Honda has previously filed patents related to radar systems on motorcycles, making the Africa Twin and the Gold Wing the prime candidates for the adoption of this innovative technology.

As anticipation builds among motorcycle enthusiasts, we can expect further details regarding the regular Africa Twin models to be added to the Swiss certifications in the near future. However, the official unveiling and announcement from Honda are likely to be reserved for the EICMA show happening in November.

In a bid to expand its offerings and cater to the ever-evolving tastes of motorcycle enthusiasts, Suzuki is gearing up to launch the GSX-S1000X in 2024, marking its entry into the world of crossover motorcycles.

  • The GSX-S1000X is described as a “crossover” motorcycle, known for blending the best of both adventure and sport-tourer capable machine. 
  • The 2024 GSX-S1000X is set to feature the tried and tested 999c four-cylinder engine. 

The GSX-S1000X, while not an adventure bike like Suzuki’s V-Strom 1050DE, aims to offer a taste of adventure without the complexities of dual-purpose suspension or specialized tires. What sets this motorcycle apart is its taller suspension, a feature borrowed from the GSX-S1000GT, giving it a distinctive style and height.

This exciting development has been officially confirmed through type approval under UNECE regulations, a requirement for motorcycles in the EU and most of Europe. The “X” designation in the bike’s name, often associated with crossover vehicles, perfectly encapsulates its spirit.

Under the hood, the GSX-S1000X shares the same 999cc four-cylinder engine as its siblings, the naked GSX-S1000 and the full-faired GSX-S1000GT. This powertrain churns out a formidable 150 hp @ 11,000 rpm and 105.6Nm @ 9,250 rpm.

It retains the aluminum-beam frame found in its counterparts, with a slightly longer wheelbase of 1470mm, likely attributed to its longer-travel fork. The overall length increases from 2138mm to 2148mm, primarily due to the taller suspension and borrowed rear bodywork and license-plate bracket from the GT.

However, the GSX-S1000X stays true to its roots with 17-inch cast alloy wheels, eschewing the larger, wire-spoked design typically seen on adventure bikes. This positions it as a competitor to Yamaha’s Tracer 9 GT+.

One of the standout features of the GSX-S1000X is its elevated stance. With the screen in its lowest position, it reaches 1290mm, extending to 1351mm when fully raised. In comparison, the GT measures 1214mm and 1280mm, respectively. It’s important to note that part of this increased height comes from a taller screen, with the fork needing only a slight extension to accommodate the growth in wheelbase and length.

The GSX-S1000X boasts a broader profile, measuring 924mm compared to the GT’s 825mm, thanks to its wider handlebars and hand guards. The mirrors are bar-mounted, in contrast to the fairing-mounted mirrors on the GT. Spy photos of a prototype spotted earlier this year reveal stacked headlights, similar to the GSX-S1000, giving it a distinct appearance.

However, these additions contribute to a higher curb weight of 231kg, compared to the GSX-S1000GT’s 225kg. The most significant change, perhaps, is the top speed, which drops from 240km/h for both the S and GT models to 215km/h on the GSX-S1000X. This reduction is likely due to electronic speed limitations, aimed at ensuring the bike’s stability at higher speeds, given its increased height.

With type approval in hand, the official unveiling of the GSX-S1000X is expected to be just a matter of weeks away. Suzuki enthusiasts and adventure-seeking riders alike can anticipate an exciting addition to the crossover motorcycle landscape.

 

In a touching tribute to the iconic Assen Circuit, MV Agusta has launched a limited-edition masterpiece, the Brutale 1000 RR Assen.

  • This machine is the latest in MV Agusta’s ongoing commitment to celebrating historic milestones, renowned racers, and emblematic brands.
  • MV Agusta is the pinnacle of Italian manufacturers in terms of success on the Dutch track.

The Italian motorcycle giant takes pride in having achieved a staggering 35 victories on the Assen Circuit. Such achievements date back to 1976 when the legendary Giacomo Agostini clinched the win in the 350 class.

Fashioned in Italy, the Brutale 1000 RR Assen edition carries forward the spirit of these victories. The meticulously handcrafted 300 units are an ode to these memorable days. This collaboration with the Assen Circuit brings these special motorcycles to the forefront.

Boasting an array of exclusive elements, the bike is adorned with special emblems, plaques, sleek carbon fiber panels, and aluminum side plates. The blue Alcantara upholstery adds a touch of luxury, enhancing the bike’s overall aesthetics.

The unique color scheme of the Assen edition harmoniously blends Blu Nordico, Argento Ago, and gold. This combination not only exudes elegance but also accentuates the motorcycle’s meticulous craftsmanship and sophisticated technical gear.

Powering the Brutale 1000 RR is a Euro 5 compliant 998 cc inline four-cylinder engine. It delivers a robust 208hp @ 13,000rpm, combined with 116.5Nm @ 11,000rpm. With a dry weight of just 183 kilograms, the motorcycle offers an impressive power-to-weight ratio of 1.1 horsepower per kilogram.

The Brutale 1000 RR Assen doesn’t compromise on suspension. It features an advanced 43-millimeter Öhlins Nix EC hydraulic upside-down fork and an Öhlins EC TTX rear shock. Both are electronically controlled to ensure maximum stability and performance. Additionally, its braking capabilities are nothing short of remarkable, with double floating discs at the front and a single steel disc at the rear, complemented by Brembo callipers.

The motorcycle’s elegance extends to its Rotobox carbon fiber wheels with an alluring blue carbon weave. These are fitted with 120/70 R17 and 200/55 R17 tires, which images suggest are the top-tier Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SPs.

Each limited-edition Brutale 1000 RR Assen will also include a Special Parts kit. This kit features a Titanium Arrow exhaust, CNC-machined brake and clutch levers, a carbon fiber passenger seat cover, an aluminum fuel cap, and an exclusive motorcycle cover, emphasising its status as a true piece of “Motorcycle Art.”

This blend of history, engineering excellence, and design mastery makes the MV Agusta Brutale 1000 RR Assen a must-have for enthusiasts and collectors alike.

Recent rumours have started to crystallise into something tangible for Honda motorcycle enthusiasts. Following the debut of the Honda Hornet 750, the rumour mill has been abuzz about a sportier version—tentatively dubbed the Honda CB750R.

  • Latest patent application confirms the arrival of a fully-faired version of the Hornet. 
  • the alleged CB750R is rumoured to be powered by the same 755cc parallel-twin engine found on the Hornet. 

Honda’s Platform Sharing Philosophy 

Honda has long been a proponent of platform sharing, leveraging common underpinnings to produce multiple, distinct models. This strategy is evident in the CB500 and NC700/NC750 ranges, where a common set of components has spawned an array of unique motorcycles. Likewise, the Africa Twin has proven its adaptability, leading to the creation of the NT1100 tourer and the Hawk 11 café racer for markets outside the U.S. 

In line with this trend, the Hornet 750 utilises the same 755cc parallel-twin engine and steel-framed chassis as the Transalp, which is confirmed to be entering the U.S. market in 2024. 

Patent Details

The recently emerged patent application points to a faired bike based on the Hornet’s platform. While the patent mainly deals with mundane aspects like the packaging of the fuel tank, airbox, and electronic wiring, it offers key insights. For instance, the patent text references a “front cowl… removably attached to the vehicle body frame using fastening members,” differentiating this design from the existing, unfaired Hornet 750. 

Design Implications

Although the patent’s bodywork might not be the final design, it does shed light on potential innovations. Overlaying the patent drawings with a photo of the Hornet reveals a more compact fuel tank and a frame that aligns well with the existing model. The design seems to encourage a race-style crouching posture, given the lower profile of the fuel tank and the placement of low clip-on bars. 

What Lies Ahead

Given the patent details and Honda’s history of platform sharing, it’s likely that this new bike aims to compete directly with Yamaha’s MT-07 and YZF-R7. With its low bars and streamlined tank, the new model could offer a compelling option for those interested in sportier bikes. 

While still in the realm of speculation, the possible arrival of a Honda CB750R is creating a buzz among motorcycle aficionados. Should it come to fruition, this model would be a welcome addition to Honda’s versatile range, offering a sportier alternative to the already popular Hornet 750. With the patent now public, all eyes are on Honda for the next move.
