Energica Motor Company managed to secure record-breaking order from Taiwanese importer, Russ Tiger Enterprise Co. Ltd.

The order is the highest in the Italian company history, including all the Energica line-up models, for a total of EUR836,000 (RM4.1 mil).

Taiwan has seen a massive demand for electric mobility.

It is estimated there are over 91,000 electric-powered motorcycles in the country; hence, it comes with no surprised when Energica commercial partner, Russ Tiger is seeking to promote the Italian brand in Taiwan.

“Electric vehicles are the trend because of environment protection. Besides, the weather and Taiwan environment are also suitable for electric bike riders,” explained Russ Tiger Enterprise CEO, Russ Tai.

According to Russ, Energica status as a Moto3 supplier is one of the factors behind the high demand of the brand in Taiwan.

According to Husqvarna, this baby Svart is heading for the global market; hence we might have the chance to catch the smallest displacement Svartpilen here in Malaysia.

The 125 is seen as a good move by Husqvarna to extend the brand towards younger motorcyclist.

As you expect, the 125cc single-cylinder, liquid cool with twin overhead camshaft engine is now Euro 5 compliant and produces 15hp at 9,500rpm and 12Nm.

The bike features ByBre disc brakes, WP Apex 43mm front fork (the same you get on its bigger siblings 250 and 401 Svartpilen), WP Apex rear mono-shock, and complete LED light set-up.

Braking is done by Bosch ABS while the machine runs on a pair of 17-inch wheels complete with Pirelli tyres.

Husqvarna listed the dry weight at 146 kilograms and in our book (even with a full tank of gas) this baby Svart is pretty lightweight hence should be relatively easy to manage for younger and newer riders.

Earlier today, Brno announced their decision not to hold any world championship for 2021 including the MotoGP.

However, it is understood that their absence will not be just for this season.

In the official press release, the circuit management said, “not to organize world championship races in the future.”

The Czech Republic GP entered the MotoGP calendar back in 1965 and presented itself as a street circuit before the current track was built in the 80s.

Director of Automotodrom Brno, Ivan Ulmanova earlier explained that the cancellation was mainly economic.

Instead, Brno will focus on promoting domestic motorsports and leasing the venue to private events.

Husqvarna just shared the latest teaser via YouTube that confirmed a small displacement motorcycle is coming for 2021.

The 22 seconds teaser showed what looks like a Svartpilen that is scheduled to launch today, February 3.

Why Svartpilen you asked? The glimpse of the handlebars just gave it away since Vitpilen uses clip-on.

We are assuming a downsized version on the Svartpilen perhaps a 125 or 150 due to Husqvarna portray the bike as a beginner-friendly motorcycle meant for younger riders.

Nevertheless, we have to wait for the official launch that is due today, and perhaps we might see a glimpse of the adventure-based Norden 900 too?

Just days before the official launch of the new Hayabusa 2021, a new leaked image of the new motorcycle makes its way online.

We can assume it was taken-off a product slide meant for dealers which explained the not so high-quality images.

Based on the image, the front end of the 2021 Hayabusa looks more muscular yet modern. The tail section seems to have been redesigned with sleeker shape and lines.

While the recent 25 seconds teaser revealed a TFT screen, we also expect the bike to gain Euro5 certification.

Full details of the 2021 Hayabusa will be revealed on the 5th February.
