Honda has unveiled the 2019 range of 500 cc motorcycles - the Honda CBR500R, Honda CB500X and the Honda CB500F at the 2018 EICMA Motorcycle Show in Milan, Italy. The three bikes share the same underpinnings but are very different in purpose and appeal, and have been updated with improved components and styling. The bikes continue to draw power from the 471 cc twin-cylinder engine with 47 bhp on offer, while low and mid-range torque output has improved by 4 per cent, improving acceleration across the range.
Hero MotoCorp, the world's largest two-wheeler manufacturer by volume, has unveiled a new touring motorcycle based on the 200 cc Hero XPulse adventure concept. The XPulse 200T, along with the XPulse 200, will be launched in early 2019.
The Yamaha middleweight adventure bike is powered by the 689 cc, parallel-twin engine of the Yamaha MT-07 and has rally-spec suspension and design. Only ABS is available and no other electronic riding aids.
The new Ducati Monster 821 will be showcased at the EICMA 2018 show and gets dedicated matte black livery with red highlights, a small headlight cowl, quickshifter and adjustable Kayaba front fork.
Just ahead of the 2018 EICMA show, Ducati has taken the wraps off the 2019 Ducati Hypermotard 950 at the World Ducati Premiere in Milan. The Hypermotard 950 will be showcased at the EICMA show, along with the rest of the 2019 range.
Ducati has unveiled its 2019 motorcycle line-up ahead of the 2018 EICMA Motorcycle Show starting today, including the likes of the Panigale V4 R, XDiavel 1260, Monster 821 Stealth Edition and more. Bringing the adventure quotient to the model range though is the updated 2019 Ducati Multistrada 950 S that was also unveiled at the special night. The Multistrada 950 S, as the name suggests is an uprated and improved version of the middleweight adventure-touring motorcycle with additional features including a lot of electronic wizardry. Much like the rest of the range, the new 950 S will be making its way to India next year, replacing the current model.
New 998 cc engine makes the Ducati Panigale V4 R meet World Superbike homologation, and the V4 R also has faster acceleration and more power than the Ducati Panigale V4.
