I wander.. where is this approach taking us. Approach of a prosperity and money culture in western Europe that makes us think about motorcycles like toys that need to be changed every year or 2. You purchase a new bike for £16K then you sell 2 years later for £10K. Obviously getting another one , probably even more expensive. What happened with having a bike for years and a friend and companion, making 60 or 80k miles. We are shown new bikes, bigger, stronger, more tech. etc etc every year.

Mostly waiting to see what Honda will do with the Transalp. If what you said about the TA in this video comes true, then that will be my next bike. My biggest gripe with the current model is the tubed tires. So fingers crossed that Honda actually reads the review comments and addressed some of the biggest complaints. (We can hope, right?)
@@arnoutvanwijk4916 it's funny with the transalp, the 3 big gripes seem to be cruise control, tubeless tires and on a lesser level, optional quick shifter. Somehow these things were not an issue for me and I care not about them. I thought about it and I think it's because I don't actually ride my bike that much recently, being winter, and so it's all a bit meh. Having said that luckily for me the only thing I'd want potentially is the quick shifter just to make it easier to change when standing up on rough tracks.
I have one and it would have been useful to have cruise control on a recent European tour but still not a big deal. I still haven’t had a puncture on this bike but had one recently on a tubeless bike so whatever really. I carried spare tubes just in case but only because I contracted some of the paranoia that’s on you tube and other social media. I’ve had four bikes in the last 6 years and only one that is tubeless. I’m hoping to get it tuned at some point to increase torque and get rid of the flat spot at 4500 rpm, otherwise it is a good bike. Oh, I have the quick shifter which is very good but tend to use the clutch most of the time as that suits the adventure riding style.
Smaller and affordable is where they need to be. Some of the bigger offerings are extortionate. Hence pcp to suck people in and jeep them on the endless replacement treadmill. Ride safe 👍

@RocketMan_Moto I hear that. You're a taller rider than I. I really love the style but was always left wanting the tech from the street triple. Now, it seems to have it all. 👍
As a proud owner of a '92 cb400sf I must admit that Im craving for a MY25 "restomod" revival with e-clutch, 4cylinders, dual rear shocks and a pricetag around 8k€ 🤤
Since 2020 I had a KTM 790R and now a 890R. Between the two of them over 5 years and more than 50000 kms. They have both been as reliable as my 2014 Honda crf 250 but a lot more fun. Lots of crazy reliability stories out there. Maybe I am an anomaly I don't know. However I do Know I would have a hard time giving up the bike.
My first street bike was a 1982 Honda CB900F SS. So that CB400 to me is amazing. However, I am 6' 4", so I need them to supervise that into a 1200 with 150 hp!!
I'm a GS1200 rider and I've ridden the Vstrom 1050, for the price and quality it's got my juices flowing. BMW have gone too expensive and are super heavy when panniers are on. It's been a great bike will miss it when it goes
I actually loved the riding position of Triumph 's Thruxton 1200. What I hated about it, was its price. So I was hoping for a rebirth of Thruxton 900 - especially the first Thruxton 850 they released around 2 decades ago, was a hell of a great bike. But in vein....
Such an informative and entertaining video as usual RM, thankyou. I certainly have limited interest in the hyper tech, hyper performance (and hyper $$) machines. Im interested in the revival of small capacity 4 cylinder bikes, the Honda CB could be a stunner. Also the Versys500x, the 300x has long been a popular do it all machine in Australia. Also the potential revisions to the Transalp...Honda have been listening!
Thanks, Paul. Yes, if Honda do decide to give us a Transalp II it will show an unusually quick reaction to customer feedback. It's a good bike, just needs a couple of relatively minor tweaks.
The 698 Ducati scrambler is a good idea, like the sport bike too. The Benelli looks good sounds like a bargain. I love the Japanese manufacturer s 400s especially the Honda bet we won’t get that in the states no hornets either. I wonder what the hydrogen kawi sounds like? Thanks for the preview RM !
Some nice bikes in that list. I'm also hoping to see an updated NC750X with twin discs, better TFT etc (all available on the Forza 750 already). You're spot on re the Triumph 1200 "improvements". Losing the lovely clocks is a huge mis step, as is making it ergonomically more challenging for 50 and 60 somethings like myself that are struggling with dodgy knees, hips or backs. Scooters or adventure bikes are my goto rides these days though I'd love a retro. I fear that any new Honda or Kawasaki 400/4 retro will also suffer from this malaise. A huge shame, as I'd love to buy such a bike. Whilst I'm on this theme, why can't Triumph offer the ergonomically comfortable T120 with tubeless tyres (and perhaps alloys as an option) and the more powerful SpeedTwin engine? That would sell very well imo.
Great little sneak at what's up & coming RocketMan!!👌🏻👍🏻 And again its a shame Triumph never really listen to us who try to let them know what us customers want from a Motorcycle but clearly they don't going by the new Speed Twin & not just the Speed Twin the whole range & god Almighty how many times do we ask for a different range of colour schemes with coloured wheels & at least colour code the whole bike rather than just the tank & then different colours on the side panels & mudguards!!🙄 One day I guess they will possibly take notice!!🤔🤷🏻♂️
@RocketMan_Moto Hehe love that!!😆 Surely its not Rocket science for someone in different Motorcycle Manufacturers who i assume watch different Blogers including yourself about what we want from a Motorcycle if they did they would sell a dam site more!!🙄 Just look at the Speed Twin everyone who have been waiting patiently for a awesome update will now just go buy the current one & just change a few bits & bobs like you did on your one!! Utter madness if you ask me!!🤔🤷🏻♂️👍🏻
Completely agree. 99% of people on here (and many other fine channels/forums) are of one mind about this. Triumph could actually get all the feedback and ideas for free🤦♂️
@RocketMan_Moto Oh well we can just keep giving them great feedback hehe not sure they will see it as great feedback!!😆😬 But anyway we have aired our views just a shame that again for god knows how many years now ive been waiting patiently for the perfect Speed Twin & again I will just continue to wait & see if they finally take any of our advice hehe??😆🤔🤷🏻♂️
The BMW R20 looked like a Triumph Rocket 3 with a smaller capacity (but certainly not small!) engine. Pricing should be interesting if it ever makes it to market. That Triumph Speed 400 with the predominantly yellow colourway would look great... if the forks were black!
@@RocketMan_Moto One would hope that Triumph knows this already given the hugely positive response to the Street Triple 765 RS in Cosmic Yellow with its black forks.
The first motorcycle that you called the Aprilia 457 roadster is in fact a Moto Guzzi. Triumph will for sure show a flagship naked Speed Triple with electronic suspensions, clip ons and carbon fibre wheels.
@@RocketMan_Moto it's not a error. The majority of sites thought it was the inevitable Tuono 457. But looking closer, that bike has all the design clues of a more classic Moto Guzzi. Makes sense. Moto Guzzi will rival Triumph and Royal Enfield.
Shame there's nothing about a rumoured GB750 from Honda. That hornet engine in a retro styled bike would be truly awesome! Especially if they used the same colour schemes as the 1970's bikes.
The future is smaller capacity I suspect. I don't mind that much as I've had some very enjoyable smaller capacity bikes. I'll be cutting my work hours down soon, which means less expendable income, my next purchase will hopefully be a keeper. Who knows, maybe the Transalp I bought fairly recently will do the trick. Just because we can spring for a new bike every year or so doesn't mean we should I suppose.
Your always make videos that I turn to first and this is no different. I find all manufacturers tell us about seat height but your ability, or not, to actually get on board in the first place is never brought up and as you get older the design of the seat is paramount. That's why i now only look at bikes with a bench seat and these days with a reduced capacity, so my favourites are the Honda and Kawasaki 400s.
Thanks, Ian. Much appreciated. I agree that seat shape is important. I can't get my right leg over the back of my Tiger without cheating and standing on the left foot peg :(
i’ve always been on the lookout as well until last week. 3 months ago i bought a nice shiny green BMW R1300gs …however made the mistake of test riding one with the new ASA ..absolutely brilliant ..however the trade in on my 3 month old 2k miles pristine GS was 16K ..a whopping 8k loss i kid you not.. i’ve never had a kicking like that before on any bike i’ve ever owned ..so looks like i’m keeping it a few years
I would love to see Yamaha do more 450-500 bikes as well as redo/upgrade the CP2 engine and lineup. I am very interested in the future of CFMoto with their triple 🤩and some VFR actions at Honda.
Quick two cents on the Triumph 400s in the video. These are detuned versions of the same 400cc engine, putting out 30hp. Apparently tuned to be torquier but are more affordable than the full-fat versions making 40hp.
@RocketMan_Moto I don't know specs. And I don't actually need rally version, 200mm suspension is enough . All I need is tubeless rims, which present on cheaper v strom.
I really like the cb400 , but I am 59 so when I was younger those are what motorcycles I was drawn to looked like . (Cb900f etc) I will admit I own two RD400’s that are still beautiful to my eyes . Do you think we will see them in the states ?
I was rather hoping that Triumph would do a more off-road Tiger 660 XC, but maybe the success of the 400cc bikes has changed their direction? Maybe a Tiger 400 XC may be on the cards in the future?
@RocketMan_Moto - yes, it's very frustrating, but given the positive reception that the CF Moto 450 MT has received, maybe Triumph have diverted resources to a 400XC.
Love all the 400-500 possible options coming. Yamaha has too be launching R9 this time right? Right? (Yamaha 2022 R7 and Triumph 2008 Tiger 1050 owner).
rally hopeing they are not just going to slap the MT09 enegine with some farings and call it the R9 like they did with the engine from the MT07 and call it an R7... hope its a actuall 4 cyclinder true sport bike....hope to get one but if that is the case im just going with GSXR 750 and it will probly be a better faster bike,,
@@RocketMan_Moto. They were the new colours so I thought so. Since posting I’ve looked a few other videos that show the single clock. Maybe I’m mistaken but I particularly looked or so I thought 🤔
The Ducati 698 Super Sport, been asking for Ducati to bring back the SuperMono for ages. I hope this is it. Should have never sold my FBF (Fast By Ferracci) prepped F1 750.
Honda recently has registered patents of a new CBR 400 Four. 400cc 4 cylinder bike so we might see this bike on EICMA we hope. I'm excited for the new KTM 390 Enduro I think it's gonna be a great bike for beginners riders like me. Other good news is KTM is setting up s new factory here in Brazil by 2025 so we might see lots of their new bikes being built over here and being distributed all over Latin America.
It's going to be built in the franchise zone of Manaus, Amazonas. Leaked documents from the state government of Amazonas shows that KTM it's gonna invest R$97 million reais, around €16 million.
Yes, Triumph has an assembly factory in Manaus. Your wife is from Recife that's cool mate! There's a motorcycle brand from Pernambuco that brings Chinese bikes to Brazil, they're called Shineray
Triumph...sigh...sold my r1250r because I wanted a more retro-look (stupid me) and the next iteration of the Speedtwin 1200 was high on my list, expecting the upgrades that make it an 'RS'...and then they decide to completely F* it up. I mean, the appeal of the Speedtwin to me was the retro look (not the lcd dash for gods sake), and the riding position (yeah, make it a thruxton triumph, good move!)... Guess I'll need to check the r1300r now.
Depends sometimes on how you buy a new bike. Cash, part ex or PCP. Are you a Cafe’ culture, bar hopper or world adventure rider. Putting a 100,000 miles on one motorcycle is something a lot of people either only dream of or would think the trade in price make it worthless. I am at an old age and people I associate with at rallies, bike meets or butty bars are mostly as old as me. Disposable income is becoming a tax liability.
The BMW RT is looking more-n-more sci-fi/space age ... could be cool. Did I miss a photo of a new RS? You mention it but I missed the visual. What's Triumph thinking ... the new Speed Twin misses the mark, IMO, and 17,000 Euros (which something like $19K US)?? There isn't enough bike/tech there to justify such a high price ... are they think that riders' nostalgia will drive that much interest? All I can say is I'm glad the previous version is around. Speaking Thruxtons ... I visited a local dealer yesterday - two of the three Thruxtons were sold, so there is some interest, just not enough I guess. I'm a fan (if I had the $$ I'd be an owner.)
Excellent vid! I don't, however, feel that your forbearance with Triumph is justified, re the 1200. They've used bargain basement OEMs on the standard bike, replacing the Brembos and the analogue dash, while increasing the price by £500! Their marketing dept must be the most cynical of the lot. Happy riding!
The weight is something that always puts me off a Royal Enfield. Nick [username now back to my old one, plus three characters; why can't they just leave names alone?]
Bonjour Rocketman. Il me semble que pour la marque Triumph vous avez oublié la nouvelle 800 sport qui aura un nouveau moteur 3 cylindres avec un calage similaire au 660 et environ 115 ch qui est appelée à remplacer la 850 sport actuelle. Le prix de ce trail routier devrait être d’ailleurs similaire à cette dernière. La probabilité est proche de 100% car l’information vient de mon concessionnaire. (J’ai une speed master et j’ai eu plusieurs Triumph) Merci pour toutes les informations. Ride safe

I know there will likely be some surprises, but if accurate to any degree I am not overly excited about anything covered. I thought Honda were supposed to be bringing out a large number of bikes over the next year.. or are they all electric? Triumph tiger 400 or 660? Any rumours of a refreshed XADV 750?
I'm in Australia so hopefully the new 800MT-X would be a bit cheaper than 11k Euro. I'm looking at getting into ADV riding and been looking at many different options. I could get a 10+ yo second hand 700GS or a Tiger 800 for the price of an ex demo CFMOTO 700MT. Alternatively, wait till next year when I'll have a bit more money and decide between the new 800MT-X vs a Tiger 900. 😊

I for one would be interested in a Tracer 10 (or 12…😬)
As a proud owner of a '92 cb400sf I must admit that Im craving for a MY25 "restomod" revival with e-clutch, 4cylinders, dual rear shocks and a pricetag around 8k€ 🤤
I think they’d have a hit on their hands, for sure👍
Very nice overfiew.. thank you for that - I miss the Royal Enfield 650 Classic...
Sorry, just didn’t have time to include everything. Glad you enjoyed it, though👍😊
Since 2020 I had a KTM 790R and now a 890R. Between the two of them over 5 years and more than 50000 kms. They have both been as reliable as my 2014 Honda crf 250 but a lot more fun. Lots of crazy reliability stories out there. Maybe I am an anomaly I don't know. However I do Know I would have a hard time giving up the bike.
I’ve been put off by the cam shaft stories this year😬
My first street bike was a 1982 Honda CB900F SS. So that CB400 to me is amazing. However, I am 6' 4", so I need them to supervise that into a 1200 with 150 hp!!
Yes looks so good!
Agreed👍😊
Y porque no la cb650r ? Y si la 400cc?
I'm a GS1200 rider and I've ridden the Vstrom 1050, for the price and quality it's got my juices flowing. BMW have gone too expensive and are super heavy when panniers are on. It's been a great bike will miss it when it goes
I agree the new GS is eye wateringly expensive for what would, for me, basically be a ‘toy’.
I actually loved the riding position of Triumph 's Thruxton 1200. What I hated about it, was its price. So I was hoping for a rebirth of Thruxton 900 - especially the first Thruxton 850 they released around 2 decades ago, was a hell of a great bike. But in vein....
👍😊
Transalp with tubeless tyres. If they could throw in e-clutch would be awesome
I would imagine eClutch will be offered as an option, too🤞
Must have tubeless. After 2 flats on my Africa twin vowed never again tubed tyres
Such an informative and entertaining video as usual RM, thankyou.
I certainly have limited interest in the hyper tech, hyper performance (and hyper $$) machines. Im interested in the revival of small capacity 4 cylinder bikes, the Honda CB could be a stunner. Also the Versys500x, the 300x has long been a popular do it all machine in Australia. Also the potential revisions to the Transalp...Honda have been listening!
Thanks, Paul. Yes, if Honda do decide to give us a Transalp II it will show an unusually quick reaction to customer feedback. It's a good bike, just needs a couple of relatively minor tweaks.
Next week I’m picking up my KTM 1290 Super Adventure S 🥰
Fabulous machine, enjoy👍😊
Fingers crossed we get to see the new 690/701 Enduro🤞🏼. Im dying to know how they updated the closest platform we have to a unicorn
That would be very popular
Great video, hope the Guzzi appears
Thanks. Me too👍😊
I really like the looks of that RE 650 Scrambler. If this is sold in the US, I am very tempted. I also like the CB400F and the Kawasaki Z400.
REs always LOOK good
The 698 Ducati scrambler is a good idea, like the sport bike too. The Benelli looks good sounds like a bargain. I love the Japanese manufacturer s 400s especially the Honda bet we won’t get that in the states no hornets either. I wonder what the hydrogen kawi sounds like? Thanks for the preview RM !
I was wondering about the sound of a hydrogen bike, too. Thanks, Steve😊
コメントを見ていると海外の方々にもCB400は人気のようですね。
日本人としてとても嬉しいです。
Glad you’ve found the right bike for you. 400-500cc bikes are the big ‘new’ thing here in Europe. Thanks for your input👍😊🇯🇵
Excellently edited. Thanks.
Any hope that Honda stretches dct to 450 -500cc models or increase the fantastic ADV350 to >400cc?
Thanks. They could save us all a lot of time and just put V6 engines in all bikes🤦♂️😂
looking forward seeing new offroad oriented 390adv.
KTM? It will be orange and pointy, though :(
totaly with you on orange and pointy claim, but I am interested in new Huskies, so this will give me a clue about new adv line 👉👈
Yes, the Huskies would get my vote, too👍😊
Some nice bikes in that list.
I'm also hoping to see an updated NC750X with twin discs, better TFT etc (all available on the Forza 750 already).
You're spot on re the Triumph 1200 "improvements". Losing the lovely clocks is a huge mis step, as is making it ergonomically more challenging for 50 and 60 somethings like myself that are struggling with dodgy knees, hips or backs. Scooters or adventure bikes are my goto rides these days though I'd love a retro. I fear that any new Honda or Kawasaki 400/4 retro will also suffer from this malaise. A huge shame, as I'd love to buy such a bike.
Whilst I'm on this theme, why can't Triumph offer the ergonomically comfortable T120 with tubeless tyres (and perhaps alloys as an option) and the more powerful SpeedTwin engine? That would sell very well imo.
I forgot to mention the NC750X is becoming an NT750🤦♂️
Hi, thanks for the video. Can you please tell me where did you film the scenes up to the hills/ beach? Where is it? Thanks
The footage of my bikes is shot in the Algarve, southern Portugal😊
Great little sneak at what's up & coming RocketMan!!👌🏻👍🏻 And again its a shame Triumph never really listen to us who try to let them know what us customers want from a Motorcycle but clearly they don't going by the new Speed Twin & not just the Speed Twin the whole range & god Almighty how many times do we ask for a different range of colour schemes with coloured wheels & at least colour code the whole bike rather than just the tank & then different colours on the side panels & mudguards!!🙄 One day I guess they will possibly take notice!!🤔🤷🏻♂️
I hear you, Dave. We’d only charge them, what, €1000 an hour for our wisdom…😀
@RocketMan_Moto Hehe love that!!😆 Surely its not Rocket science for someone in different Motorcycle Manufacturers who i assume watch different Blogers including yourself about what we want from a Motorcycle if they did they would sell a dam site more!!🙄 Just look at the Speed Twin everyone who have been waiting patiently for a awesome update will now just go buy the current one & just change a few bits & bobs like you did on your one!! Utter madness if you ask me!!🤔🤷🏻♂️👍🏻
Completely agree. 99% of people on here (and many other fine channels/forums) are of one mind about this. Triumph could actually get all the feedback and ideas for free🤦♂️
@RocketMan_Moto Oh well we can just keep giving them great feedback hehe not sure they will see it as great feedback!!😆😬 But anyway we have aired our views just a shame that again for god knows how many years now ive been waiting patiently for the perfect Speed Twin & again I will just continue to wait & see if they finally take any of our advice hehe??😆🤔🤷🏻♂️
The Speed 400 in white looks very nice!
Agreed😊👍
The only bikes to grab my interest, Benelli , BMW scrambler, all the CF Moto's, Moto Morini, RE Scrambler
I'd buy all 50 in this video, if I could afford it, lol
@@RocketMan_Moto ..🤣😆.. if I only had the space for just a couple more...
If the CB1000 Hornet is as good and affordable as the CB750 Hornet, I might consider upgrading. For now, I'm very happy with my 750.
The 1000 is on my radar😊
The BMW R20 looked like a Triumph Rocket 3 with a smaller capacity (but certainly not small!) engine. Pricing should be interesting if it ever makes it to market.
That Triumph Speed 400 with the predominantly yellow colourway would look great... if the forks were black!
I agree: yellow and gold don't go together
@@RocketMan_Moto One would hope that Triumph knows this already given the hugely positive response to the Street Triple 765 RS in Cosmic Yellow with its black forks.
Versys 500 with tubeless tires would be an instant buy from me
And for many👍😊
The first motorcycle that you called the Aprilia 457 roadster is in fact a Moto Guzzi. Triumph will for sure show a flagship naked Speed Triple with electronic suspensions, clip ons and carbon fibre wheels.
Sorry about the error. A super Speed Triple RS would be great👍
@@RocketMan_Moto it's not a error. The majority of sites thought it was the inevitable Tuono 457. But looking closer, that bike has all the design clues of a more classic Moto Guzzi. Makes sense. Moto Guzzi will rival Triumph and Royal Enfield.
Shame there's nothing about a rumoured GB750 from Honda. That hornet engine in a retro styled bike would be truly awesome! Especially if they used the same colour schemes as the 1970's bikes.
Just didn't have time to include everything, but we'll be seeing all the surprises soon enough. Thanks for your input :)
From dealership of Ducati and BMW, I have confirmed new models of Streetfighter and S/M 1000 R for next season.
Thanks for the info :)
The future is smaller capacity I suspect. I don't mind that much as I've had some very enjoyable smaller capacity bikes. I'll be cutting my work hours down soon, which means less expendable income, my next purchase will hopefully be a keeper. Who knows, maybe the Transalp I bought fairly recently will do the trick. Just because we can spring for a new bike every year or so doesn't mean we should I suppose.
I agree👍
Your always make videos that I turn to first and this is no different. I find all manufacturers tell us about seat height but your ability, or not, to actually get on board in the first place is never brought up and as you get older the design of the seat is paramount. That's why i now only look at bikes with a bench seat and these days with a reduced capacity, so my favourites are the Honda and Kawasaki 400s.
Thanks, Ian. Much appreciated. I agree that seat shape is important. I can't get my right leg over the back of my Tiger without cheating and standing on the left foot peg :(
Made an attempt at that horse mounting technique but being tall and weighty my apprehension got the better of me.
with your thumbnail for the EICMA preview , i notice one of the bikes has a RM cover !! so are you thinking of a new bike then ?
I’m always thinking of a new bike😩
i’ve always been on the lookout as well until last week. 3 months ago i bought a nice shiny green BMW R1300gs …however made the mistake of test riding one with the new ASA ..absolutely brilliant ..however the trade in on my 3 month old 2k miles pristine GS was 16K ..a whopping 8k loss i kid you not.. i’ve never had a kicking like that before on any bike i’ve ever owned ..so looks like i’m keeping it a few years
Ouch, yes that is too much of a hit
I really hoping for the Ducati Supersport Mono and yes, I'm sure it will be expensive...............but 😎 AF!
Agreed👍😊
I would love to see Yamaha do more 450-500 bikes as well as redo/upgrade the CP2 engine and lineup. I am very interested in the future of CFMoto with their triple 🤩and some VFR actions at Honda.
There seems to be a lot of excitement for these
Quick two cents on the Triumph 400s in the video. These are detuned versions of the same 400cc engine, putting out 30hp. Apparently tuned to be torquier but are more affordable than the full-fat versions making 40hp.
I saw that model on the Triumph India website. It’s called the T4, but I don’t refer to it in this video😊
@@RocketMan_Moto I do wish they do the Thruxton, as you predicted. Thanks for the heads-up :)
A Thruxton 400 would be a hit
Waiting news on transalp, hoping for tubeless wheels
Transalp R (name?) is apparently on its way
@RocketMan_Moto I don't know specs. And I don't actually need rally version, 200mm suspension is enough . All I need is tubeless rims, which present on cheaper v strom.
Exactly the same here!
Ditto !
Honda is slow but not stupid. If they think they can sell more by giving us tubeless, they’ll give us tubeless😉
Tiger 660 rally? I heard that might also be coming? Been waiting on it, if it doesn't come then I'll probably buy the updates Transalp.
They’ve been talking about it for nearly 3 years. Let’s see if they deliver at Eicma.
I really like the cb400 , but I am 59 so when I was younger those are what motorcycles I was drawn to looked like . (Cb900f etc) I will admit I own two RD400’s that are still beautiful to my eyes . Do you think we will see them in the states ?
I honestly don’t know. Is there a market for 400cc bikes in the US?
Hopefully they surprise us with a Dual Clock on the Speedtwin
🤞
I was rather hoping that Triumph would do a more off-road Tiger 660 XC, but maybe the success of the 400cc bikes has changed their direction? Maybe a Tiger 400 XC may be on the cards in the future?
I didn’t dare mention the 660 XC again. It featured in my last two EICMA previews but still no news🙁
@RocketMan_Moto - yes, it's very frustrating, but given the positive reception that the CF Moto 450 MT has received, maybe Triumph have diverted resources to a 400XC.
Hope so🤞
You left out the KTM 390 Adventure R - which have a lot of rumours and spy shots. Other then that, awesome video!
You’re right, it’s coming. Unfortunately I didn’t have the time to include every bike😊
The CF Moto 500 Voom looks like the 😬 emoji turned into a motorcycle
😂 I’ll use that👍
Love all the 400-500 possible options coming. Yamaha has too be launching R9 this time right? Right? (Yamaha 2022 R7 and Triumph 2008 Tiger 1050 owner).
Sure we’ll see it for 2025
rally hopeing they are not just going to slap the MT09 enegine with some farings and call it the R9 like they did with the engine from the MT07 and call it an R7... hope its a actuall 4 cyclinder true sport bike....hope to get one but if that is the case im just going with GSXR 750 and it will probly be a better faster bike,,
Nice video. The new speed 1200 in the Hinckley Triumph factory cafe both have twin clocks
This is important information. Are you sure they are 2025 models?😳
@@RocketMan_Moto. They were the new colours so I thought so. Since posting I’ve looked a few other videos that show the single clock. Maybe I’m mistaken but I particularly looked or so I thought 🤔
Well, we can but hope…😊
That cb400f has no right to only have 40hp. My 1989 cb-1 makes 57!
48 max for A2 licence holders in Europe🙁
The Ducati Panigale V4 reminds me of the predator.🛸🛸😃😃
Haha, yes you couldn't really make it much more aggressive looking
The Ducati 698 Super Sport, been asking for Ducati to bring back the SuperMono for ages. I hope this is it. Should have never sold my FBF (Fast By Ferracci) prepped F1 750.
👍😊
Well, I'm sure it'll come, but no news yet, I want to see an up scaled Triumph 660 Sport. Maybe a 900 replacement for the old 1050 Tiger Sport.👏 😇
That would sell well
Honda recently has registered patents of a new CBR 400 Four. 400cc 4 cylinder bike so we might see this bike on EICMA we hope.
I'm excited for the new KTM 390 Enduro I think it's gonna be a great bike for beginners riders like me. Other good news is KTM is setting up s new factory here in Brazil by 2025 so we might see lots of their new bikes being built over here and being distributed all over Latin America.
Good input here, thanks👍 Didn’t know about the KTM factory in Brazil. Do you know which city?
It's going to be built in the franchise zone of Manaus, Amazonas. Leaked documents from the state government of Amazonas shows that KTM it's gonna invest R$97 million reais, around €16 million.
Manaus, close to Triumph then? Mrs RM is from Recife 🇧🇷😊
Yes, Triumph has an assembly factory in Manaus. Your wife is from Recife that's cool mate!
There's a motorcycle brand from Pernambuco that brings Chinese bikes to Brazil, they're called Shineray
I was hoping to see something regarding Indian’s Dark Horse lineup. My hope is they turn it into something less retiree looking.
I'm sure there'll be a couple of Indian updates at EICMA, but I just didn't have time to squeeze everything in, unfortunately :)
Triumph...sigh...sold my r1250r because I wanted a more retro-look (stupid me) and the next iteration of the Speedtwin 1200 was high on my list, expecting the upgrades that make it an 'RS'...and then they decide to completely F* it up. I mean, the appeal of the Speedtwin to me was the retro look (not the lcd dash for gods sake), and the riding position (yeah, make it a thruxton triumph, good move!)... Guess I'll need to check the r1300r now.
Completely agree with you🙁
Depends sometimes on how you buy a new bike. Cash, part ex or PCP. Are you a Cafe’ culture, bar hopper or world adventure rider.
Putting a 100,000 miles on one motorcycle is something a lot of people either only dream of or would think the trade in price make it worthless.
I am at an old age and people I associate with at rallies, bike meets or butty bars are mostly as old as me.
Disposable income is becoming a tax liability.
I like that last sentence :)
hey @RocketMan what about new scooters??
Except for the Forza 350, I haven't seen any other news.
Unless this is for another episode 🙂
I love scooters, but most of my viewers are into big bikes. Apart from my ADV350, I don’t err feature scooters much😊
The BMW RT is looking more-n-more sci-fi/space age ... could be cool. Did I miss a photo of a new RS? You mention it but I missed the visual. What's Triumph thinking ... the new Speed Twin misses the mark, IMO, and 17,000 Euros (which something like $19K US)?? There isn't enough bike/tech there to justify such a high price ... are they think that riders' nostalgia will drive that much interest? All I can say is I'm glad the previous version is around. Speaking Thruxtons ... I visited a local dealer yesterday - two of the three Thruxtons were sold, so there is some interest, just not enough I guess. I'm a fan (if I had the $$ I'd be an owner.)
I couldn't find a decent photo of the 1300RS, unfortunately
there are rumours of a 1100sx from kawa
That would be an awesome machine👍😊
I’d like to see a Yamaha Tracer 9 GT + Y-AMT. hopefully with another new name.
I agree the name isn't the greatest, but I'm sure the bike is coming very soon. Putting the AMT on the MT09 first was a strange choice
Your balance of cynicism is appreciated.
Thanks👍😊
No KTM 390 Adventure? I’m really looking forward for the new model.
Didn’t have time to include everything, unfortunately😊
Excellent vid! I don't, however, feel that your forbearance with Triumph is justified, re the 1200. They've used bargain basement OEMs on the standard bike, replacing the Brembos and the analogue dash, while increasing the price by £500! Their marketing dept must be the most cynical of the lot. Happy riding!
The price increase is unjustified, I agree
No Classic 650? I'd imagine that's more likely than the scrambler. Perhaps they'll both be there?
There is a Classic 650 coming, yes
The weight is something that always puts me off a Royal Enfield. Nick [username now back to my old one, plus three characters; why can't they just leave names alone?]
It’s exactly that. They’re too heavy.
@@RocketMan_Moto The much-raved-about Guerrilla is 23 kg more than my Mk2 KTM 390 Duke. Before I forget, have you owned of ridden a Honda CRF300L?
I betcha they won't launch the Yamaha R9.
I think it’s ready to go🤷♂️
Bonjour Rocketman. Il me semble que pour la marque Triumph vous avez oublié la nouvelle 800 sport qui aura un nouveau moteur 3 cylindres avec un calage similaire au 660 et environ 115 ch qui est appelée à remplacer la 850 sport actuelle. Le prix de ce trail routier devrait être d’ailleurs similaire à cette dernière. La probabilité est proche de 100% car l’information vient de mon concessionnaire. (J’ai une speed master et j’ai eu plusieurs Triumph) Merci pour toutes les informations. Ride safe
Ah, ça c'est intéressant, Bertrand. Merci. Je n'étais pas au courant... Je Google ça de suite :)
Have you opined on your opinions of electric bikes in the past? If so, got a link? If not, would you make one in the future?
I would love an electric bike, especially for off-road duties, but I'll wait until they're properly sorted. Maybe in 6-8 years??
Very nice my friend! Any T120 improvement?
Let’s just pray it doesn’t get the clock from the Trident😐
I don't think we'll see an Enfield scrambler, but it looks a dead cert that there'll be a classic 650.
Yes, the Classic is definitely coming. Didn’t have time to include everything, unfortunately😊
Personally hoping for an updated MT10 or Speed Triple 1200RS!
I think the MT10 will get a fairly major update. The Speed 1200 RS is already available: Triumph Speed Twin 1200 RS, ex-Owner's Take on All the Changes for 2025
ruclips.net/video/c_qEzhkE8zc/видео.html 😊
@@RocketMan_Moto I sure hope so! Oh I was more referring to the speed triple 1200 as opposed to the speed twin 1200 haha, they do have very similar names haha
My mistake👍😊
Will we get the update for Honda NX500? Love from India! ❤ should I buy it right now or wait for some time?!
I doubt very much if the NX will be modified, because it’s too new. New colours at most??
@@RocketMan_Moto Will it get a ride by wire? Also, does it really matter having a ride by wire? I am using a BMW G310r which has it but never used a standard cable operated accelerator..
Ride by wire is only really of any use in that it allows for certain electronic features like cruise control. The NX won’t get that.
I’m looking forward to seeing the new honda hornet 1000, but I’d like to see it with the e-clutch, is there any hope? Otherwise I’ll buy the mt-09 y-amt, I’m really intrigued by these new technologies
I think it's almost a certainty that the Hornet 1000 will be getting the eClutch
I know there will likely be some surprises, but if accurate to any degree I am not overly excited about anything covered. I thought Honda were supposed to be bringing out a large number of bikes over the next year.. or are they all electric? Triumph tiger 400 or 660? Any rumours of a refreshed XADV 750?
Oh and congrats on making 50k subscribers.. well deserved!
Thanks. The NC750X is becoming the NT750 (baby NT1100), but I have no info on the X-ADV
I'm in Australia so hopefully the new 800MT-X would be a bit cheaper than 11k Euro. I'm looking at getting into ADV riding and been looking at many different options. I could get a 10+ yo second hand 700GS or a Tiger 800 for the price of an ex demo CFMOTO 700MT. Alternatively, wait till next year when I'll have a bit more money and decide between the new 800MT-X vs a Tiger 900. 😊
Yes, CF Motos always seem much cheaper in Australia. Lower transport costs?
That is true and we don't have tariffs. Do UK and European countries have tariffs on Chinese bikes?
Not officially, but I’m sure some countries sneakily add them in when the EU isn’t looking🙄
Don't worry about electric bikes. They are mentioned on lawnmover chanels.
😀👍
And white goods reviews 😎
Why do people hate names like Voom but have no issues with names ending in R or RR?
R sounds sexy. Voom sounds like a washing powder :)
