Honda recently launched the all-new CB200X in India, an adventure motorcycle based on the same engine found on the Hornet 2.0.

We are now able to take a look at detailed photos of the new motorcycle thanks to the latest report by BikeDekho.

The overall design of the CB200X shares the same characteristic as its bigger siblings, the CB500X; however, some aspects are taken from the Hornet 2.0, especially the angular V-shaped LED headlights.

Other features include a tall windscreen, a wide handlebar, engine protector, handguards and split seats.

It also offers the same instrument cluster found on the Hornet 2.0 that allows smartphone connectivity and navigation.

Nonetheless, the CB200X comes with higher ground clearance, longer travel suspension and 276mm disc at the front and 220mm at the rear.

Other exciting features include an upside-down fork, preload-adjustable monoshock and 17″ alloy wheels.

Meanwhile, the 184.4cc single-cylinder engine churns out 16.3hp @ 8,500rpm and 15.5Nm @ 6,000rpm.

According to reports in India, the CB200X is priced at INR144,500 (RM8.2k) and is available in Sports Red, Matte Selene Silver Metallic and Pearl Nighstar Black.

Husqvarna has unveiled its entire electric motorcycle and scooter concept ahead of IAA Mobility Show in Munich.

This is the first time the Swedish company has rolled out all three electric vehicles to the public.

 

Starting off with the Husqvarna Vektorr, the electric scooter gives out a very futuristic vibe.

While it may look fast, the e-scooter tops at just 45km/h, making it suitable for every range of riders. However, the low speed helps boost the range to 95km, thus ideal for city use.

 

There’s no word yet what sort of power it uses, but it is unlikely it will carry anything larger than a 3kW motor.

Next is the Husqvarna E-Pilen concept, which was first unveiled back in April.

Compared to the Vektorr, the E-Pilen portrays similar design cues from the gas-powered Svartpilen and Vitpilen, thanks to a circular shape LED headlamp and almost the same tank that now fits three battery setups.

Husqvarna claims the E-Pilen is powered by an 8kW motor capable of delivering a top speed of between 100-120km/h with a maximum distance of 100km.

While both models look promising, there is no guarantee that any of these two-wheelers will make it to the production line anytime soon, but there’s nothing wrong with putting our hopes up.

If you own a Ducati Panigale V4, chances are you might have swapped out the standard exhaust in exchange for a performance-oriented exhaust system.

However, if you are in the market to search for a new one, you are in luck as Termignoni has just dropped the D200 full titanium twin-pipe exhaust system.

The D200 offers the proper bump in performance and sound, including substantial weight reduction, and creates a whole new aesthetic of the Panigale V4 by replacing the stock underbelly exhaust with an under tail setup.

The full-kit features titanium headers, titanium RHT silencers with carbon fibre end-caps, heat shields, brackets, ‘ Limited Edition’ plate, and (lasered) Titanium wording.

However, do not that the new D200 titanium exhaust system is only for track-use; therefore, they are not street-legal.

The Termignoni D200 titanium exhaust is available for EUR6,344 (RM31.2l).

As confirmed by patent photos, QJ Motor, the sister company to Benelli, is expected to launch the QJ7000D electric motorcycle in the next few months.

Rated at 7kW, thus the name QJ7000D will put the new electric motorcycle on par with a gas-powered 125cc with QJMotor claimed puts out 13.4hp.

The motorcycle was first unveiled as a prototype at the 2021 Beijing Motor Show and what caught our attention is the visible storage unit underneath the tank.

Looking back at the patent photos, QJ decided to continue with the same feature on the production bike.

It also features a ‘floating’ rider and pillion seat, with no bracket attached to the tail. Other features include a single front disc setup with an upside-down fork and clip-on handlebars.

Meanwhile, despite an offer as an electric motorcycle, the QJ7000D is equipped with a conventional manual transmission.

Moving on to the important bits, QJ Motor claimed a top speed of 104km/h and a range of 96km, making it a suitable e-bike for city roads.

Moto Guzzi has teamed up with American footwear company, Timberland, to produce a series of collections to celebrate the Italian company 100th anniversary.

The collection includes Moto Guzzi X Timberland Waterproof Winter Extreme Gore-Tex Super Race Boot, Moto Guzzi X Earthkeepers Boot, leather jacket, half zip hoodie, a long sleeve tee and selvedge denim pants.

However, the Waterproof Winter Extreme Gore-Tex Super Race Boot caught our attention as it remarkably features the Mandello iconic colour scheme of black and red.

It also offers ample ankle support with high top construction, while the Vibram rubber sole provides a better grip.

The Super Race boots are available via Timberland.com at USD332 (RM1.3k). By the way, we took a look at Timberland Malaysia, and the collection is yet to be made available. (not sure it ever will, though).

Moto Guzzi V7 has emerged as the best selling (over 700cc motorcycle) in Italy for the month of August.

With over 213 units delivered to customers, the V7 outperform its Japanese, German and other Italian competitors.

The achievement is deserving for Moto Guzzi, as the Mandello-brand celebrates its hundred years of history.

The V7 is currently available in two variants, Stone and Special, with both equipped with a new 850cc that delivers 65hp @ 6,800rpm and 73Nm @ 5,000rpm.

The new generation of V7 was presented earlier this year with a completely revised engine and featured more comfortable riding ergonomics and a powerful motor without losing the Guzzi DNA.
