Limited to just 800 worldwide, this exclusive model is based on the Speed Twin 1200 RS, gaining clip-on handlebars, deleting the pillion pegs and featuring a distinctive brown bullet seat with removable cowl, as well as a carefully curated package of styling enhancements. Each Speed Twin 1200 Cafe Racer Edition is also supplied with its own Certificate of Authenticity, ensuring the exclusivity of this Limited Edition motorcycle. The elegant sports styling is defined by the low, tucked riding position created by the clip-on bars, the streamlined single-seat profile and the refined attention to detail throughout the motorcycle. Machined bar-end mirrors reinforce the bikes clean silhouette, while ribbed clutch and alternator cover badges, black head bolt covers and sculpted knee pads add subtle but distinctive detailing. Practical touches include pillion footpeg finishers, with the footpegs removed as standard and supplied in the crate for owners who wish to reinstate two-up capability. Completing the look is an exclusive British racing-inspired colour scheme, combining Competition Green and Aluminium Silver paintwork with Aluminium Silver wheels and a colour-coded Competition Green headlight bowl. Paul Stroud, Chief Commercial Officer, said: The latest Speed Twin 1200 has already struck a chord with riders across Europe and the US who value performance, style and everyday usability. Building on that success, the Speed Twin 1200 Cafe Racer Edition will sit at the top of the Speed Twin range, taking inspiration from the British cafe racer scene of the 1960s. With a global production of just 800 motorcycles, the Cafe Racer Edition will appeal to collectors and regular riders alike, offering more distinction and exclusivity, as well as combining heritage influence with premium specification and engaging performance. ART IN MOTION The Speed Twin 1200 Cafe Racer Edition has a committed riding stance, with low clipon handlebars, clean bodywork and a tapered rear end, that shift the rider forward and create a distinctly athletic silhouette. The Cafe Racer Edition gains a striking Competition Green and Aluminium Silver colour scheme that blends contemporary elegance with classic racing heritage. Inspired by the iconic British Racing Green shade, this modern interpretation delivers a fresh yet familiar celebration of Triumphs racing history. The fuel tank is finished in Aluminium Silver as the primary colour, delivering a clean, modern metallic base with subtle depth and sheen. Competition Green panels form the secondary graphics, creating a modern, visual split. A precisely applied Empire Gold coachline defines the transition between colours, adding a handcrafted, premium detail, while the Cafe Racer Edition graphic in Empire Gold completes the tank with a clear sense of exclusivity. The twotone theme continues across the seat cowl, finished primarily in Competition Green with Aluminium Silver detailing, and highlighted by a matching Empire Gold coachline that mirrors the tank and provides visual continuity from front to rear. The side panels, also finished in Competition Green, feature a bold Number 12 graphic in Aluminium Silver. Completing the look, the headlight bowl and fork protectors are finished in Competition Green, while brushed aluminium front and rear mudguards add contrast, complementing the Aluminium Silver elements. The result is a Speed Twin 1200 Cafe Racer Edition that feels timeless and purposeful, rooted in Triumphs racing heritage, yet built with modern precision and attention to detail. RAZOR LIKE RESPONSES For riders seeking a more dynamic and engaging ride, the Speed Twin 1200 RS Cafe Racer features an even more focused riding position defined by low clipon handlebars.

Braking performance is delivered by twin Brembo Stylema calipers acting on 320 mm discs, while highperformance Metzeler Racetec RR K3 tyres come fitted as standard, delivering confident braking performance with direct, consistent feel at the lever.

The distinctive 270degree firing order, combined with a lowinertia crankshaft, ensures an immediate throttle response and characterful power delivery, while strong torque is maintained throughout the rev range, peaking at an impressive 112 Nm.

Just like the Speed Twin 1200 RS, the Cafe Racer Edition is equipped with Triumph Shift Assist that complements the character and power delivery of the engine.

LCD and TFT displays are neatly housed within a traditional circular dial to enhance clarity and functionality while preserving the Speed Twins timeless look. This layout enables turnbyturn navigation and phone connectivity, while also incorporating a conveniently positioned USBC charging socket, subtly integrated to maintain the bikes refined finish. CATEGORY-LEADING PREMIUM FINISH AND DETAILING Timeless design is paired with advanced engineering, incorporating modern technology within classic-inspired styling details. The clean, uncluttered appearance is achieved by carefully concealing cables and hoses, while the fuel tank features raked lines and deep front cutouts, finished with a flipup filler cap for a clean, purposeful look. The black powdercoated engine casings and compact silencer contribute to the uninterrupted exhaust run and underline the motorcycles timeless character. At the front, an elegant round headlight incorporates full LED lighting with a distinctive DRL signature.

Available in UK dealerships from March, giving riders even more choice Triumph has unveiled two new exciting additions to the award-winning 400 range for 2026. For the first time, Triumph introduces a flat track-inspired motorcycle with the launch of the all-new Tracker 400, while the hotly anticipated Thruxton 400, already turning heads in India, is making its global debut, bringing iconic cafe racer style to riders everywhere. These two fun and agile machines blend beautiful retro styling with unmistakable Triumph DNA and feature an enhanced TR-Series engine, delivering 42PS at 9,000rpm. With a higher rev limit and stronger top-end performance, this latest evolution offers a five per cent increase in peak power. Both models combine premium quality and accessible pricing, delivering exceptional value for money. The Tracker 400 features flat and wide handlebars and repositioned footpegs for a dominating riding position. Supported by a dedicated chassis for sharper handling and an engaged rider experience. Its design incorporates a seat cowl, number board, boxy fuel tank, fly screen and newly styled wheels, paired with Pirelli MT60 RS tyres.

Both models offer exceptional value, with class-leading service intervals and a comprehensive two-year, unlimited mileage warranty that also covers Genuine Triumph accessories. This combination ensures lower cost of ownership and greater peace of mind for owners. Paul Stroud, Chief Commercial Officer, Triumph Motorcycles said: The Speed 400 and Scrambler 400 X, and more recently the Scrambler XC, have been a global hit, winning multiple awards and driving record sales. These bikes have brought more younger riders and more women into the Triumph family than ever before, proving the appeal of a premium brand in this market. This success reflects Triumphs unique position in the segment, blending high quality finishing, modern performance and beautiful retro styling. Now, with the Tracker 400 and Thruxton 400, were building on that momentum with two brand-new models that give customers even more choice. Powered by the latest TR-Series engine, the most powerful iteration yet, these bikes deliver distinctive character and engaging performance. The Tracker 400 brings stripped-back flat track attitude, while the Thruxton 400 reimagines an iconic name with authentic caf racer style for a new generation. Together, these models offer riders, more fun, more style and an even sportier ride. TRACKER 400: FLAT TRACK STYLE FOR THE ROAD The new Tracker 400 draws inspiration from flat track racing, capturing the raw, stripped-back aesthetic and competitive spirit synonymous with this class, channelling the style and attitude of bikes built for the oval dirt track. Stripped Back Attitude Designed to stand out in the crowd, the Tracker 400 combines race-inspired styling with aggressive lines for an unmistakable flat track silhouette. Classic Triumph design cues and the iconic engine profile make this a true Modern Classic. The tracker-style fuel tank, with its sculpted knee cut-outs, pairs seamlessly with the fly screen and colour-coded seat cowl and the dual-spoke wheels with blocky dual-purpose Pirelli MT60 RS tyres, deliver a bold, sporty stance. As a Triumph Modern Classic, it features the signature engine profile with powder-coated covers and bright-machined cylinder head fins. That unmistakable Triumph DNA runs throughout, with a classic round LED headlight up front and flowing twin upswept silencers at the rear. The Tracker 400 is offered in three striking race-inspired colour schemes, each showcasing bold Tracker lettering on the fuel tank, set against sleek racing stripes with dramatic mud-splatter detailing that extends seamlessly onto the seat cowl. A distinctive number board proudly displaying 400 pays tribute to legendary flat track racers. The Aluminium Silver Gloss scheme is accented with Racing Red graphics across the fuel tank, seat cowl, number board, and wheels. Racing Yellow delivers a vibrant statement with its bold yellow tank and seat cowl, contrasted by Phantom Black elements and Racing Yellow highlights on the number board and wheels. For a darker, more aggressive look, Phantom Black combines moody black with Dark Silver, Vanilla White, and Pearl Metallic White accents across the tank, cowl, number board, and wheels. An Enhanced Riding Position Upright and elbows out thats the essence of Flat Track style. Wider handlebars, set 23mm broader and 134mm lower than those on the Speed 400 to enhance the bikes dynamic stance. Footpegs are repositioned 86mm further back and 27mm higher, creating a confident, aggressive posture. These ergonomics ensure that the Tracker 400 rides exactly how it looks, with bold and commanding presence. Engineered for fun, sporty performance, the Tracker 400 has a dedicated chassis and premium suspension set-up. Up front, black anodised 43mm upside-down big piston forks offer 140mm of travel, while the rear gas monoshock RSU provides 130mm of travel with preload adjustment for pillion riding. Dual-purpose tyres with a blocky tread pattern complete the look, offering flat track style with road-focused grip and handling. The Tracker 400 integrates advanced rider technology without compromising its classic aesthetic. A seat height of 805mm with features like torque-assist clutch, switchable traction control, and ABS make the ride accessible and enjoyable. A contemporary single-dial analogue speedometer paired with a digital tachometer delivers essential information at a glance, with all wiring neatly hidden to preserve the clean, timeless Triumph look. Exciting and Characterful Engine The latest model features a new and more powerful iteration of Triumphs class leading TR series engine. This has been achieved through a combination of new mechanical parts, including a revised camshaft profile, along with a new engine tune. This results in a five per cent increase in peak power, now producing 42PS peak power at 9,000 RPM, with a higher rev limit and stronger peak power at the top of the rev range. This allows the Tracker 400 to rev harder and higher, for an exhilarating and addictive throttle response that encourages the rider to exploit the performance available and ride this bike with the attitude it deserves. The enhanced engine also retains the 37.5Nm of peak torque, with 80 per cent of this available from 3,000 RPM, offering that linear, torque rich performance that adapts to any riding scenario. The ride by wire throttle ensures intuitive throttle response all the way through the six speed gear box. Attention to Detail Triumph Motorcycles is committed to delivering exceptional performance and uncompromising quality and the Tracker 400 is no exception.

From the upside-down forks providing high-performance suspension, to the precision-machined cooling fins, Triumphs meticulous attention to detail ensures a clean, uncluttered finish with no exposed wires, cables, or hoses to spoil the bikes classic look. This attention to detail extends to the Tracker 400s flawless paintwork, delivering a finish that exudes precision and quality.

Now, that spirit is reimagined for a new generation, delivering the perfect balance of timeless design and contemporary engineering. Head-Turning Cafe Racer Design The classic Triumph engine profile is complemented by a sculpted fuel tank, which is a fusion of flowing lines and sharp contemporary contours, with the Triumph triangle badge. A new fairing houses the classic round LED headlight, contrasting with the sporty and stylish bar end mirrors, blending tradition with innovation. Clip-on handlebars lower the front end for a more assertive stance, while the colour-coded bullet seat cowl, shortened rear mudguard and number plate hanger, plus a compact LED light contribute to a minimalist, purposeful rear. The upswept sports silencer completes the look, with a seamless, flowing exhaust line. Four vibrant colour schemes feature sleek graphics and sporty contrast accents on the fuel tank, fairing and seat cowl, while the Matt Phantom Black side panel carries an aluminium finish badge bearing the Thruxton name. The Phantom Black and Aluminium scheme features wide diagonal stripes of colour across the fuel tank and seat cowl, with Racing Red accents on the fairing and seat cowl. The Carnival Red Gloss with Aluminium Silver option features a striking Carnival Red fairing. The Pearl Metallic White and Storm Grey paint scheme includes flashes of Caribbean Blue on the seat cowl and fairing, while the Metallic Racing Yellow with Aluminium Silver design features a Metallic Racing Yellow fairing with Phantom Black accents and Aluminium stripes that carry through on the fuel tank and seat cowl. An All-new Sportier Ride With optimised ergonomics and a dedicated chassis, the new Thruxton 400 delivers a fun and sporty ride. The new chassis and revised suspension setup provide a sharper, more responsive feel, while the sporty handlebar and footpeg position give an engaged riding experience. The new clip-on handlebars are 40mm narrower and 246mm lower than those on the Speed 400, while the rear-set footpegs are positioned 86mm further back and 27mm higher. This rotates the rider forward, creating a true cafe racer riding posture.

A ride-by-wire throttle, switchable traction control, torque assist clutch and ABS ensures rider confidence. Exciting and Characterful Engine Powered by the most powerful iteration of the TR-series engine yet, with all the same enhancements as the Tracker 400, the 398cc engine revs higher and harder, delivering a thrilling top-end while maintaining the smooth, torque-rich performance and rich, distinctive soundtrack that defines the Triumph experience.

Fri, 16 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://www.suttonmotorcycles.com/triumph/news/triumph-introduces-major-2026-updates-to-trident-660-and-tiger-sport-660 Triumph announces significant updates to its 660cc road-focused range, with the Trident 660 and Tiger Sport 660 receiving their most significant upgrades to date. Higher performance 660cc triple engineproducing an impressive 95PS and 68Nm of torque. New bodywork and graphic schemes for both models, and a bigger fuel tank for the Tiger Sport 660. Chassis refinements and improved ride quality for both models, with a revised frame and new Showa rear suspension unit for the Trident 660. Triumph is taking its popular Trident 660 and Tiger Sport 660 to the next level with their most significant updates yet. These updates deliver more performance, making the Trident 660 a much sportier choice, while the Tiger Sport 660 delivers character and excitement, while also improving its touring capability. At the heart of the upgrade is a major engine enhancement. Both models now feature a higher-performance 660cc triple engine, producing an impressive 95PS and 68Nm of torque. This step up in power puts the Trident 660 at the top of middleweight roadster class, while the Tiger Sport 660 combines its new performance with improved touring capability for riders who want to go further, asserting its position as the ultimate middleweight all-rounder. The updates dont stop at the engine. The Trident 660 gains a more muscular stance with new bodywork and a chiselled fuel tank, reinforcing its athletic roadster attitude. The Tiger Sport 660 introduces a larger 18.6-litre fuel tank and new bodywork including updated radiator cowls, improving range and weather protection on long rides. Both models retain their agile, confidence-inspiring handling, now complemented by chassis refinements and improved ride quality. The Trident 660 benefits from a new Showa rear suspension unit for improved adjustability, while the Tiger Sport 660 retains its accessible ergonomics and low seat height, ensuring comfort for everyday riding and long-distance touring. The latest updates to the Trident 660 and Tiger Sport 660 are complemented by bold new colour schemes and graphics that enhance their distinctive styling. For the Trident 660, the vibrant Cosmic Yellow and Stone Grey take centre stage as the premium paint choice, with Snowdonia White offered as standard. The Tiger Sport 660 introduces Interstellar Blue with Mineral Grey alongside Silver Ice with Intense Orange as its striking new premium options, and the standard option, Pure White. These fresh designs give riders even more ways to personalise their bike while maintaining Triumphs premium finish and attention to detail. Updated 660cc Triple Engine Both the Trident 660 and Tiger Sport 660 benefit from the higher-performance version of Triumphs 660cc Triple, achieved through a series of mechanical changes and a new engine tune. Peak power is now 95 PS at 11,250 rpm, an increase of 14 PS, with the redline raised by 20% to 12,650 rpm for a livelier top end. Torque also sees an uplift to 68 Nm at 8,250 rpm, with 80% of that available from 3,000 rpm right through to almost 12,000 rpm, ensuring strong, flexible performance across the rev range. This combination makes the Trident 660 sportier and more engaging, while the Tiger Sport 660 offers added touring capability, whether riding two-up or fully loaded all while retaining easy, accessible performance and A2 licence compatibility. A key part of the performance upgrade comes from significant changes to the engine hardware, including a move from a single throttle body to three individual 44mm throttle bodies, one for each cylinder. This update further enhances the sporty nature of Triumphs three-cylinder design, delivering the ideal balance of strong low-down torque with even more mid-range and top-end power. These changes work in harmony with the new engine tune to provide riders with a more responsive and characterful experience across the rev range. Further enhancing performance and responsiveness, the engine benefits from a larger, front-mounted airbox that improves airflow and delivers a more engaging induction sound. The cylinder head has also been re-engineered with larger exhaust valves and a higher-lift cam profile to optimise combustion and power delivery. To manage the increased performance, the cooling system has been upgraded with a larger, repositioned radiator and fan, ensuring efficient temperature control even in demanding riding conditions. Completing the performance package is a new engine tune that brings a series of refinements. Alongside the increased torque and raised redline, the calibration has been optimised for smoother low-RPM throttle openings and improved overall throttle response. These changes ensure the Trident 660 and Tiger Sport 660 deliver accessible, predictable performance with added excitement across the rev range. The performance upgrades are complemented by a series of key component revisions. The exhaust system now features a 3-into-1 header design with a revised catalyst and an underslung silencer, contributing to both efficiency and the distinctive Triple sound. The six-speed gearbox has been updated with new input and output shafts, revised gear ratios and final drive, plus recalibrated Triumph Shift Assist for smoother, more precise changes. A new slip and assist clutch further enhances ease of use, reducing lever effort and improving control for everyday riding and longer journeys. Paul Stroud, Chief Commercial Officer, Triumph Motorcycles, said: Both the Trident 660 and Tiger Sport 660 have built a huge following worldwide, attracting riders of all ages and experience levels, from those new to motorcycling to experienced riders. The Trident 660 has also brought more female riders to Triumph than any other model in our line-up. These bikes have won multiple awards and introduced a new group of riders to the Triumph brand. For 2026, weve taken both bikes to the next level. The result is a significant performance increase, which puts the Trident 660 back at the top of its class and secures the Tiger Sport 660s position as the segment leader. Alongside this, both models gain important chassis and styling updates that enhance their presence and capability, while retaining the accessibility and A2 licence compatibility that have made them so popular. The Tiger Sport 660 sits within the Adventure Sport-Touring segment, appealing to riders who want a versatile bike for commuting during the week, fun riding at weekends, and longer touring trips often two-up and fully loaded. The Trident 660, on the other hand, is a middleweight roadster that has become a favourite for riders looking for an agile, stylish machine for urban riding and spirited back-road fun. These updates ensure both models continue to deliver exactly what their riders value most, with even more performance and refinement. TRIDENT 660 TRIPLE THE THRILL The new Trident 660 combines thrilling performance, agile handling, rider-focused technology, and distinctive muscular styling with a class-leading low cost of ownership making it the perfect entry point to the Triumph family. Class-Leading Performance with Everyday Usability The new Trident 660 delivers a significant step up in performance for 2026. Powered by the latest evolution of Triumphs 660cc triple engine, it now produces 95PS at 11,250rpm an increase of 14PS over the previous generation and 68Nm of peak torque at 8,250rpm. With 80% of that torque available from 3,000rpm through to almost 12,000rpm, riders benefit from instant response at every twist of the throttle. Key to this improvement is a series of internal engine changes, including the introduction of three individual 44mm throttle bodies, a larger airbox, revised cylinder head, and a new engine tune. The redline has been raised by 20% to 12,650rpm, giving the Trident 660 an even more engaging top end, while maintaining the smooth, linear power delivery that makes it easy and enjoyable to ride every day. As a triple, the Trident 660 offers the perfect combination of low-down torque, and now with even more mid and top end power, providing accessible and useable everyday performance. The distinctive triple soundtrack remains a defining feature, now enriched by the triple throttle bodies and the enhanced induction system, complemented by a compact underslung silencer. A revised exhaust system with a 3-into-1 header and updated catalyst ensures compliance with the latest standards without compromising character. The six-speed gearbox has been refined with updated shafts, revised ratios, and recalibrated Triumph Shift Assist for quicker, smoother gear changes. A slip and assist clutch reduces lever effort and improves control, making the Trident 660 ideal for urban riding and longer journeys. For European riders, an A2 licence conversion kit is available as an accessory, which can be fitted and later removed by a Triumph dealer, while LAMS variants are available in Australia and New Zealand. Muscular Stance Meets Premium Finish The 2026 Trident 660 introduces new bodywork and styling updates that give the bike a more muscular stance and athletic attitude. There is a redesigned, wider fuel tank with chiselled knee cut-outs, and a new split rider and pillion seat, with a new accessory seat cowl for solo riders. The updated headlight mount and new headlight enhance the bikes presence. Riders can further personalise their Trident with accessory options such as a colour-coded fly screen or bar-end mirrors. Attention to detail is evident throughout, with subtle Triumph branding on the handlebar clamp, filler cap, and integrated into the headlight and tail light. Cables and hoses are neatly hidden for a clean, premium finish. Three contemporary colour options are available: Cosmic Yellow, Stone Grey, for an extra 150 and Snowdonia White as standard, each complemented by distinctive graphics that reinforce the Tridents modern roadster identity.

At the rear, the new RSU offers 130mm of travel and improved adjustability, allowing riders to fine-tune their setup for a sportier roadster ride.

Class Leading Triple Advantage As the only three cylinder engine in this category, the Tiger Sport 660 already provides class leading everyday performance, with the perfect combination of low-down torque, mid-range and more top-end power.

The distinctive triple soundtrack remains a hallmark of the Tiger Sport, now enriched by the triple throttle bodies and new induction system, complemented by a compact underslung silencer. A revised exhaust system with a 3-into-1 header and updated catalyst ensures compliance with the latest standards without compromising character. The six-speed gearbox has been refined with updated shafts, revised ratios, and recalibrated Triumph Shift Assist for quicker, smoother gear changes. A slip and assist clutch reduces lever effort and improves control, making the Tiger Sport 660 ideal for urban riding and long-distance touring. An A2 licence conversion kit is available for European riders, and LAMS variants are offered in Australia and New Zealand. Enhanced Presence for Every Adventure The 2026 Tiger Sport 660 introduces new bodywork and styling updates that enhance its presence and touring capability. New bodywork enhances the Tiger Sports presence, with a more substantial front end and angular side profile, creating clean lines and that distinctive sporty style. New radiator cowls and a refined front-end design improve weather protection and comfort. The larger 18.6-litre fuel tank increases range for longer adventures, while the adjustable windscreen can be easily adjusted with one hand, taking the height from 1312mm to 1395mm.

The covers were also pulled off an updated GSX-S1000GX. The SV-7GX uses an updated version of Suzukis proven and somewhat legendary 645cc V-twin engine, which is now fully-compliant with the latest Euro5+ emissions regulations. Peak power is 73PS and peak torque is 64Nm. Aiding efficiency and performance is a new magneto, transmission gears, airbox, a ride-by-wire throttle, and a new exhaust system. As the GX suffix suggests, the SV-7GX will provide a middleweight sports crossover option in the Suzuki lineup, alongside the range-topping GSX-S1000GX. A steel trellis frame is equipped with suspension from KYB, which provides a plush ride quality designed to make it easy to cover distance in comfort on the 7GX. The seat height remains accessible for a multitude of riders at 795mm. Wheels are new cast aluminium 17, front and rear, and are shod with Pirelli Angel GT 2 tyres. They work with the chassis to provide the sport element to the new sports crossover. Tokico calipers and twin 290mm discs provide the stopping power. Tall, wide, tapered aluminium bars provide an upright and comfortable riding position, but place weight over the front tyre enough to generate feel and allow riders to enjoy the sporty side of the 7GX when away from the motorway or dual carriageways. Handguards come as standard. On the electronics side, smartphone connectivity comes as standard and allows riders to access everything from maps to contacts and messages from intuitive switchgear on the left handlebar. All information is displayed via a colour TFT screen, which also indicates the selected throttle map, with three to choose from, as well as the chosen traction control setting, also with three to choose from, as well as off. Theres a USB-C charging port on the left hand side. The electronics package also includes a standard-fit bi-directional quickshifter for seamless up and down gear changes. Wind-tunnel tested bodywork shields the rider from the worst of the elements and provides aerodynamic efficiency, with styling cues taken from the bigger GSX-S1000GX. Theres a 17.4-litre fuel tank. Lighting is full LED all round, with a new asaerial design at the front for improved illumination and visibility while cornering. An accessories catalogue includes a 45-litre top box, soft panniers, tank bags, and heated grips. Pricing for the SV-7GX will be announced in due course, with the arrival set for late summer, 2026. Suzuki has also announced updates to the GSX-S1000GX. The ultimate sports crossover model which was revealed at Eicma only two years ago has received a round of subtle updates to further improve its performance as a motorcycle adept at both covering long distances in speed and comfort, as well as offering up sporting intentions when the rider wants to enjoy a more twisty, winding route. A suite of changes includes the addition of new winglets to the GXs fairing, improving downforce and enhancing stability at high speeds. Modifications to the mirror mountings reduce vibrations for clearer rearward visibility. The GSX-S1000GX puts out 152PS and 106Nm of torque from its 999cc inline four-cylinder engine. A twin-spar aluminium frame and GSX-R-derived swingarm is suspended by semi-active electronic suspension from Showa. A colour TFT screen shows selected modes of a plethora of rider aids, including seven IMU-governed traction control settings, and the ability to disengage entirely. Those traction control settings are also linked to Suzukis roll torque control system and an anti-wheelie system. Lean-angle sensitive ABS, a bi-directional quickshifter, and cruise control also come as standard, along with smartphone connectivity. In the UK the GSX-S1000GX will be available solely as a GX+ variant, which means it will come with free 36-litre panniers as standard. It will arrive in early 2026 with an OTR price of 14,999. Suzuki also confirmed that the e-Address, first revealed at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo in New Delhi in January this year, will form part of its European model range in 2026, More information will be released in due course.

Alongside the two new models, Honda also proudly presents its V3R 900 E-Compressor Prototype powered by a new V3 engine with electronically-controlled compressor, which showcases the progress in development of this world-first* engine technology in a stunning new chassis package. Further evidence of Hondas continued drive to deliver innovative technologies to riders of all types comes in the form of the addition of the unique Honda E-Clutch technology to five of the most popular motorcycles in its range. With the first European appearance of the new CB1000F, significantly updated SH125, new EV branding and a new apparel line, once again Honda is underlining its commitment to meet the needs of riders with the widest, deepest model line-up in the motorcycle industry. CB1000GT The new CB1000GT sports tourer expands Hondas range with a model for those looking for a fully-equipped, technology-rich motorcycle capable of covering long-distances in supreme comfort and ready to deliver high thrills when the highway stops and the twisties begin. Using the Fireblade-derived engine that also powers the CB1000 Hornet, the GT brings both a sporty edge and supreme long-distance comfort thanks to its aggressive design lines, Showa EERA (Electronically Equipped Ride Adjustment) suspension, and CFD-driven bodywork that optimises both aerodynamic efficiency and weather protection. The rich list of standard equipment also includes throttle-by-wire, rear panniers, Cornering ABS working through a six-axis IMU, knuckle guards, centre stand, quickshifter, heated grips, auto-cancelling indicators, Emergency Stop Signal, cruise control and Honda RoadSync connectivity. Honda WN7 Making its global debut at EICMA, the Honda WN7 is Hondas first full-sized electric motorcycle. Under the tagline of Be the wind, the all-new bike has been developed to offer the refined, quiet and smooth ride - with instant acceleration - that only EVs can provide. At the same time, extensive testing on Europe roads help to ensure the Honda WN7 has all the Honda hallmarks of riding enjoyment, balance and poise. Built around a 9.3kWh lithium-ion battery and 18kW motor*, the Honda WN7 is A2 licence compliant, and offers the convenience of a 140km range and - in addition to home charging - compatibility with the CCS2 car charging infrastructure which allows a 20% to 80% charge in 30 minutes. The Honda WN7s technical specification includes full LED lighting with a unique DRL signature, frameless chassismultiple power modes, Regenerative Deceleration Selector, forward/reverse Walking Speed Mode, Selectable Speed Limit Assist (SSLA), Cornering ABS and Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC). The slim, futuristic design language is complemented by a new Honda logo, and fittingly for such a ground-breaking machine, the arrival of the Honda WN7 comes at the same time as a new EV branding for Hondas two-wheeled line-up. V3R 900E Compressor Prototype Also part of Hondas comprehensive EICMA 2025 line-up is the V3R 900 E-Compressor Prototype, which - in a world first for motorcycles* - is powered by a new V3 engine with electronically-controlled compressor. The V3 engine is a development of the V3 Internal Combustion Engine Concept shown at EICMA 2024. The water-cooled engine with 75 degree V-angle has a displacement of 900cc and will deliver performance on a par with a standard 1200cc engine, due to the adoption of the electronically-controlled compressor, which is able to precisely control engine boost to deliver high-response torque at any engine speed. The prototype itself has been developed under the concept of Non-rail Rollercoaster, signifying Hondas intention of creating a model with the dual characteristics of promised thrills and absolute peace of mind. The body features asymmetrical side fairings, while the tank emblem debuts the new Honda Flagship Wing design, which will be gradually introduced on top-tier models starting next year. Development will continue to create a motorcycle that offers unprecedented riding enjoyment, excitement and joy of ownership. Honda E-Clutch line-up expands to 26YM XL750 Transalp, CB750 Hornet, NX500, CBR500R and CB500F Hornet For 26YM, the Honda E-Clutch system - first launched on the 4-cylinder CBR650R and CB650R middleweights in 2024 - will be available for the first time as an option on five more models. Operating faster and more smoothly than a quickshifter, the unique system provides next level sporty riding. It also offers simplicity of operation, because pulling away, stopping and shifting gear require no use of the clutch lever the rider simply operates the shift pedal to change gear; additional versatility is guaranteed by the ability to use the clutch lever if desired. The Transalp and Hornet see the Honda E-Clutch arrive on models with Throttle-by-Wire for the first time. This allows the system to blip the throttle, matching engine revs to rear wheel speed for even smoother down shifting. For the Transalp, another performance boost is smooth upshifts while the rear wheel is spinning when off-road: Honda E-Clutch with Throttle by Wire is able to operate with appropriate control based on the monitoring of front and rear wheel speed. The Honda E-Clutch system will also be available for the first time as an option on three popular 500cc models the CB500 Hornet, NX500 and CBR500R. Its combination of sportiness, simple usability and versatility will open up new aspects of the riding experience for the wide range of riders who enjoy these perennially popular machines. It also marks the first time Honda E-Clutch will be available on A2 licence-friendly models, making the performance advantage available to more young riders across Europe. SH125i Reimagined for 26YM, Europes most popular scooter, the SH125i introduces sharper looks, a new light signature and a five-inch TFT monitor, further enhancing its enduring appeal. The new front end takes inspiration from the established SH350i, unifying the range and providing a strong visual identity for the trio built at the Atessa factory in Italy. With a one line design from front to rear, the 26YM SHs are instantly recognisable thanks to a simplicity that retains the SH essence while noticeably moving it on from the outgoing model. An SH150 version will also be available in certain countries. CB1000F arrives, alongside a host of new colours Also on display at EICMA will be the CB1000F, Hondas new, retro-inspired performance machine with a character all of its own. The CB1000F is an easy-handling, big naked that ticks all the right boxes thanks to its evocative styling, rich specification sheet and dynamics that pack a punch thanks to its Fireblade-derived engine. New colours will also be on display for the NC750X crossover machine, the head of the family SH350 and the flagship tourers the Gold Wing and Gold Wing Tour, as the iconic name heads into its sixth decade of production. 26YM Honda apparel launch Rounding out Hondas presence at EICMA 2025 is an expanded and evolved range of official Honda branded apparel. Available at the show, the new collection draws inspiration from a number of areas from Hondas illustrious history such as iconic models, product families and motorsport history. The full collection will be available from spring 2026. Kuromi collaboration A further point of interest at Hondas EICMA booth will be two motorcycles with unique wrapping featuring the popular character Kuromi. Created in collaboration with Sanrio Co., Ltd. as a bespoke EICMA offering, a purple and pink CB750 Hornet and CBR1000RR-R Fireblade in Kuromis signature black and purple colour palette are an indication of Hondas ongoing commitment to generate interest in motorcycling among the widest possible customer base.

Tue, 28 Oct 2025 00:00:00 GMT https://www.suttonmotorcycles.com/triumph/news/triumph-unveils-key-updates-to-iconic-bonneville-range-for-2026 Triumph Motorcycles unveils an evolution of its iconic Bonneville line-up Scrambler 900 features standout updates including a more refined chassis and upgraded Showa suspension and braking components. Bonneville line-up now features rider-focused technology including new lean-sensitive Optimised Cornering ABS and Traction Control fitted as standard, delivering an unparalleled riding experience Arriving in dealers from December 2025 Triumph Motorcycles unveils an evolution of its iconic Bonneville line-up for 2026, with significant upgrades to three of its most aspirational models; the Scrambler 900, Bonneville Bobber, and Bonneville Speedmaster, setting a new benchmark for modern classics. Delivering enhanced performance, greater comfort and new rider-focused technology, these key updates elevate the rider experience, while preserving the distinctive character and heritage that define the Bonneville name. Blending timeless appeal and modern innovation, targeted enhancements also extend to the Bonneville T100, T120, T120 Black, and Scrambler 1200 XE. Standout updates to the Scrambler 900 include a more refined chassis, upgraded Showa suspension and radial brakes for improved capability both on and off the road. Lightweight aluminium wheel rims further enhance the Scramblers handling responses, alongside the introduction of lean-sensitive Optimised Cornering ABS and Traction Control. A new modern instrument cluster, full LED lighting, and improved connectivity meet the needs of modern riders, while preserving the Scramblers authentic identity. The Bonneville Bobber and Speedmaster both gain a larger 14 litre fuel tank and updated bodywork, giving both models a more muscular silhouette and an even greater presence. The Bobber now has a wider and more generously padded floating seat for improved comfort, while the Speedmaster gains wider seats for both rider and pillion, and straighter handlebars for a more natural riding position, perfect for exploiting the improved fuel range from the larger tank. Meeting the needs of the modern rider, cruise control has been integrated as standard and new lightweight aluminium rims add even greater agility, ensuring easy, effortless handling. For the first time, an A2 licence restrictor kit will be available as an accessory for the Bobber and Speedmaster, improving accessibility for new riders in Europe. The aspirational T120 and T120 Black also benefit from this new technology, so alongside the existing option for T100 and Scrambler 900, new riders now have even more choice. Carefully engineered new rider-focused technology has now been discreetly added to all Bonnevilles, meticulously integrated within each models minimalist design. Lean-sensitive Optimised Cornering ABS and Traction Control, powered by a high-performance IMU, works seamlessly in the background, intelligently calibrated to intervene only when needed, allowing riders to stay fully immersed in the ride without distraction. Cruise control, USB-C charging, and full LED lighting with signature DRLs further elevate the riding experience across the Bonneville range, meeting the expectations of todays riders. While care has been taken to ensure the modern classic aesthetic and distinctive Bonneville silhouette are preserved, subtle styling updates to each model ensure the gradual evolution of the Bonneville design, keeping it relevant, contemporary and at the forefront of modern classic style. The T100, T120, and T120 Black turn heads with new hand-finished paint schemes and coachline detailing, and a new circular graphic on the side panels, which frames the Bonneville logo in silver or gold, celebrating the name that started it all. Speaking about the range, Paul Stroud, Chief Commercial Officer at Triumph Motorcycles, said: This is the authentic modern classic, and the Bonneville range continues to evolve because our riders expect it to. They want timeless style, but they also want technology that works for them, performance they can rely on, and details that feel considered. Across the range, weve refined what matters and kept what makes these bikes special. For 2026, every Bonneville model has been carefully updated to offer more capability, comfort, and style, without losing or compromising the character that defines them. Every detail has been obsessively refined to make the design look effortless. Thats the principle that has guided the team at Triumph throughout the generations and is the reason that Triumph builds motorcycles that riders not only trust, but aspire to own. The Bonneville range continues to set the standard for modern classics. With a class-leading 10,000-mile (16,000 km) service interval, the Bonnevilles are built for more time on the road and less time in the workshop, giving riders the freedom to enjoy every mile. Tue, 21 Oct 2025 00:00:00 BST https://www.suttonmotorcycles.com/triumph/news/26ym-honda-cmx1100-rebel Hondas big-bore Rebel cruiser trio receive a renewed colour line-up for 26YM, keeping the popular Custom fresh for the new year. The CMX1100 Rebel, touring orientated CMX1100T Rebel, and the street custom CMX1100SE all share the well-proven, torquey 1,084cc twin-cylinder engine paired with a six-speed manual or Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) option. A sizeable update for 25YM saw all Rebels gain mechanical tweaks, a more ergonomic riding position and updated tech in the form of a five-inch TFT screen with Honda RoadSync smartphone connectivity and USB-C socket. Technical highlights for the Rebel trio include Throttle By Wire (TBW) control, three default riding modes plus two USER customised modes, three-level Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) and cruise control. Introduction Hondas A2 licence-friendly 500cc twin-cylinder CMX500 Rebel, released in 17YM, fused tradition with ground-breaking new ideas to capture younger riders for whom a motorcycle is so much more than just transport; riders for whom their motorcycle is a lifestyle, an attitude, an expression of individual identity. The Rebels combination of timeless bobber style and unique, forward-looking, contemporary detailing earned it immediate popularity in its first sales season. And it has been far from a one-year wonder: In 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024, the CMX500 Rebel was the best-selling custom style machine in Europe. Accessible, easy to ride and live with, by going its own way the Rebel proved an accomplished success in standard trim. And, as a blank canvas for customisation, it has been a machine more than ready for whatever its owners imagination has had in store for it. For 21YM, where the CMX500 Rebel led, a new motorcycle followed: the CMX1100 Rebel. It took the essence of what made the smaller bike so special and added more performance, more character, and a wealth of Hondas most advanced technology. Armed with all the above, the CMX1100 Rebel offered a step up or across from a different segment altogether for a wide range of riders looking for something that bit different. In 23YM, the family expanded once again with the introduction of the CMX1100T Rebel, a dedicated Touring version ready to answer the call of the open road. For 25YM the big Rebel built on the blocks of continued success and receives a host of upgrades to engine performance, comfort, riding ergonomics and technology. The range also grew with the introduction of the CMX1100SE Rebel an out of the box Special Edition factory custom laden with street character thanks to Genuine Honda Accessories. 26YM sees a overhaul of the colour options to ensure that, in whichever variant, the CMX1100 Rebels combination of performance, specification and accessibility will continue to resonate with riders across Europe. Model Overview The CMX1100 Rebel has a dual personality. Its been designed for a leisurely laidback cruise, but also to offer an exciting riding experience when a twisty road presents itself. Riders moving up from smaller bikes will appreciate the manageable dimensions and weight while more experienced riders will find instant, accessible enjoyment from the chassis handling potential, thanks to its stiff tubular steel frame, quality naked bike-spec suspension and high-powered braking. A more relaxed riding position was key to the major 25YM update: the handlebars were moved rearward and upward, the footpegs forward and the seat made 10mm thicker with overall seat height a very manageable 710mm. Also for 25YM, the 1,084cc parallel twin-cylinder engine (as used by the CRF1100L Africa Twin) was re-tuned with a higher compression ratio to give even stronger low- and mid-range punch, and characterful delivery plus an enhanced, evocative exhaust note. Throttle By Wire (TBW) management brought with it sophisticated rider aids: there are three default riding modes and two user defined options that allows control over a number of different parameters to suit riding conditions or rider mood, including engine power delivery, engine braking, the level of Honda Selectable Torque Control (with integrated Wheelie Control), and the shift schedule of the optional Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT), which is itself updated for smoother low-speed response. As a 21st century bobber, the big Rebels stripped-back style speaks volumes with its minimalism. Steel mudguards front and rear sit atop fat tyres; the circular headlight mixes old school looks with new school LED technology. Hondas proven five-inch TFT display is also standard, and features customisable screens and the smartphone connectivity of Honda RoadSync. It also houses a USB-C socket on the left of the unit. The 26YM CMX1100 Rebel will be available in: **NEW** Mat Beta Silver Metallic Mat Ballistic Black Metallic The 26YM CMX1100T SE Rebel will be available in the following colour options: **NEW** Pearl Deep Mud Gray Mat Ballistic Black Metallic And rounding out the range, the 26YM CMX1100T Rebel will continue to be offered in the sole colour option of Iridium Gray Metallic. Styling & Equipment The CMX1100 Rebel offers a simple, raw and unprocessed look created by the same US-based Honda R&D studio that laid down the style of the CMX500 Rebel. Long and low, with narrow body crowned by the sculpted 13.6L flangeless fuel tank, its minimalist presence has real depth, with proportions that are complemented naturally with a rider on board. Both front and rear mudguards are drawn from 1mm-thick steel and mounted on die-cast aluminium brackets. The low set 175mm diameter headlight has a classic form but houses four LED bulbs with thick inner lenses for a well-defined frontal signature. The small 55mm circular indicators, too, have classic looks but the oval, clear-lensed LED taillight strikes a contemporary note and chimes with other Rebel details. Relaying key info to the rider is Hondas proven five-inch full colour TFT screen which uses optical bonding to improve visibility in bright sunlight. By sealing the gap between the cover glass and TFT screen with resin, glare is reduced, and backlight transmittance improved. Its customisable between Bar, Circle and Simple display patterns and offers the IOS/Android smartphone connectivity of Honda RoadSync. This feature is operated via an easy-to-use, backlit four-way toggle-switch on the left handlebar that allows straightforward, on-screen turn-by-turn navigation as well as the option (via a Bluetooth helmet headset) for the rider to make calls or listen to music using Honda RoadSync. All an owner has to do is download the Honda RoadSync app from either the Play Store or the App Store, connect to the CMX1100 Rebel, and go. Relocating from under the seat the USB-C port is now sited on the left side of the display for convenience and ease of connection. The Rebel rider can go solo or carry a passenger (the rear seat pad quickly and easily unbolts) and under the seat theres a handy 3L storage compartment. The ignition key locates on the left side of the frame and opens the seat without having to be removed from the ignition. For long highway days, cruise control is fitted as standard. The CMX1100T Rebel is designed for the rider that wants all the potential the standard bike offers, but also the ability to cover larger distances with even greater in-built comfort and useful carrying capacity. The fork-mounted half-fairing, available only on the CMX1100T Rebel, is both stylishly evocative and with its bespoke stubby screen offers good wind deflection. Hard rear panniers with hinged top lids blend in perfectly and offer a full 35 litres carrying capacity (right 16L, left 19L), an additional 11 litres compared to the nylon accessory saddle bags. 25YM saw the introduction of the CMX1100SE Rebel. Its the first factory Honda (apart from the legendary RC213V-S) to wear bar-end mirrors; these are a stylish, aluminium-cut, anti-glare design. Other factory-fit accessories include colour matched nose cowl, specially designed fork leg gaiters and short, sporty front mudguard. A diamond-stitch seat adds style and extra comfort while an anodised radiator cover marks out the SE difference. Engine Bespoke compression ratio delivers powerful, torquey response with enhanced pulse feel Rebel-specific valve timing and heavy mass flywheel Exhaust tuned for engaging character The CMX1100 Rebels 1,084cc SOHC 8-valve parallel twin-cylinder engine is derived from that of the CRF1100 Africa Twin which, for 24YM received a major (and very noticeable) boost in low- and mid-range torque with no loss of peak power. For 25YM, the CMX1100 Rebel received the same upgrades as the CRF giving a sporting edge to its cruising abilities. Bore remained at 92mm with 81.5mm stroke; compression ratio was revised to 10.5:1 (from 10.1:1) so the engine now produces 65kW @ 7,250rpm. But for a bike like this its all about torque and with peak output of 98Nm @ 4,750rpm response is strong, from the bottom of the rev range all the way up. Honda engineers have further tailored the powerful, characterful engine to the CMX1100 Rebel through the use of a model-specific camshaft and flywheel, which help emphasise the natural pulses of the engine. A 270 phased crankshaft and uneven firing interval ensure character. But unique to the big Rebel a heavy mass flywheel and dedicated valve timing/lift generate an even stronger pulse feel, alongside the exhaust design. And, in keeping with the Rebels dual personality, the engine pulse changes from one that responds harmoniously at low revs to all throttle inputs, to a more boisterous, sensation-heightening throb as rpm rises. Engine management is via Throttle-By-Wire (TBW) and PGM-FI. Adding to riding satisfaction is the exhaust note, which was tuned to deliver a deep, low-frequency sound pulse through the 5.3L oval-section muffler below 4,000rpm married to a powerful, high-frequency note as rpm climbs. Compact dimensions (thanks to the Unicam drive train and semi-dry sump crankcase) centralise mass neatly, make for a low centre of gravity with maximum ground clearance when coupled with the Rebels low-slung frame design. The crankcases split horizontally, and the water pump is housed within the clutch casing with a thermostat integrated into the cylinder head; both six-speed manual and DCT versions of the engine share common crankcases with only minor external differences. Secondary vibrations are neutralised by the mutually reciprocating motion of the pistons, while primary inertial and coupling vibrations are cancelled by use of biaxial balance shafts. The water and oil pumps are driven by the balancer shafts. A crank pulsar with relator teeth spaced at 10 intervals manages misfire detection and an OBD2-2 sensor ensures stringent emissions compliance. In addition, Linear Air Flow (LAF) sensors in the downpipes give accurate measurement of the air/fuel mixture ratio. Engine Electronics Throttle By Wire (TBW) control Three default riding modes to choose from optimised to new engine character, plus two USER defined modes 3-level Honda Selectable Torque Control refined for 25YM TBW manages engine performance and character, plus the level of Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) with integrated Wheelie Control. There are three pre-set modes for the rider to choose covering a wide variety of riding conditions; all rider aids have been revised for the new engine output and character. Mode selection is managed from the left-hand switchgear; an indicator in the instrument display activates when HSTC is working. STANDARD offers a middle setting for engine power delivery (P) engine braking (EB) and HSTC, delivering a relaxed ride at low rpm and speeds, while unleashing much more of the Rebels potential as the revs rise. RAIN transmits low P delivery and EB, matched to high HSTC, for relaxed riding and extra reassurance on wet or slippery surfaces. SPORT gives aggressive P and standard EB, with low HSTC intervention to allow maximum performance. Two USER modes offer the ability to customise between the settings for the preferred combination. Once set, the USER settings are automatically stored so theres no need to re-set each time the ignition is turned on. Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) Refined for 25YM with smoother starting, stopping and low-speed U-turns Three default D mode (automatic) shifting schedules mirror the riding modes USER mode offers customisation Honda has sold over 280,000 DCT-equipped motorcycles across Europe since the system first appeared as an option on the VFR1200F in 2010. For the CMX1100 Rebel, since its introduction 57% of owners have chosen the DCT option. As part of the 25YM update, two DCT upgrades were the target for Hondas development engineers. First, smoother starting from standstill and control at low speed under 10km/h for U-turns etc. This requires a quick yet gentle driving force at small throttle openings. Surpassing the operating parameters of the previous generation DCT the new technology applied estimates the oil pressure of the clutch piston chamber and completely reviews the way feedback gain is applied rather than just relying on an oil pressure sensor upstream of the clutch piston resulting in improved, more delicate clutch response. Alongside the way TBW now opens from closed DCT also features a dedicated setting for extremely low speed running. DCT delivers consistent, seamless gear changes and very quickly becomes second nature in use. It uses two clutches: one for start-up and 1st, 3rd and 5th, the other for 2nd, 4th and 6th, with the mainshaft for each clutch located inside the other for compact packaging. Each clutch is independently controlled by its own electro-hydraulic circuit. When a gear change occurs, the system pre-selects the target gear using the clutch not currently in use. The first clutch is then electronically disengaged as, simultaneously, the second clutch engages. The result is a consistent, fast and seamless gear change. Furthermore, as the twin clutches transfer drive from one gear to the next with minimal interruption of the drive to the rear wheel, any gear change shock and pitching of the machine is minimised, making the change feel direct as well as smooth. Extra benefits include durability (as the gears cannot be damaged by missing a gear) impossibility of stalling, low stress urban riding, reduced rider fatigue and extra brain space to concentrate on pure riding aspects such as riding line, cornering, braking and acceleration points. The DCT system offers two distinct riding approaches; the Automatic settings, with pre-programmed shift patterns which constantly read vehicle speed, gear selected and engine rpm to decide when a shift should occur, and the Manual Transmission setting for gear changes using the paddle-shift style triggers on the left handlebar. Through TBW control, the DCT shift patterns are linked with the three riding modes. In STANDARD riding mode, the DCT shift pattern offers a balance between high-gear, low-speed cruising and low-gear, full-throttle excitement. RAIN selects higher gears more quickly for a super-smooth ride. SPORT delivers higher-rpm and lower gears, holds onto revs for longer before upshifts, and downshifting at higher rpms for more engine braking effect. The USER option also allows the rider to adopt any of the three DCT shift patterns in any riding mode according to preference. Chassis Signature tubular steel frame underpins Rebel styling 25YM riding position introduced a roomier and more relaxed position for taller riders thanks to revised handlebar and footpeg placement Steering geometry provides stability with easy handling characteristics 43mm cartridge-style front forks and piggyback rear shocks, both spring preload adjustable Radial mount four-piston front brake caliper and 330mm floating disc 130/70B18, 180/65B16 front and rear tyres A styling statement in itself, the CMX1100 Rebels tubular steel frame is based around the raw and simple design of its sibling and features the same defined theme line running diagonally front to back, with the fuel tank playing its part sat above the 35mm diameter main tubes which, naturally, are larger than the CMX500 Rebels. The 50.8mm diameter swingarm, too has an engineered look to match. 25YM revisions to the chassis were drawn from owner feedback to improve the riding position; the handlebars moved 28mm rearward toward the rider, and up 12mm with the footpegs also moved 50mm forward. In conjunction the seat constructed with a new high-grade urethane foam was made 10mm thicker and slightly wider without impacting ground reach (seat height remained a very manageable 710mm, up from 700mm). All these changes combine to make the riding position roomier and more relaxed. Wheelbase is 1,520mm; the forks have a 30 angle for cruiser style, 2 offset from the 28 rake line itself; trail is 110mm. This combination delivers the right look, but also straight-line stability and accurate, easy handling. Kerb weight is set at 226kg with manual transmission, and 236kg for the DCT-equipped option. The CMX1100T Rebel weighs in at 240kg as a manual and 250kg in DCT form, and the CMX1100SE Rebel 237kg. The overall geometry allows generous lean angles of 34.4 each side (as measured by Honda test engineers), meaning the CMX1100 Rebel can enjoy an engaging twisty back road ride and clip apexes with the best of them. Cartridge-style front forks feature blacked-out two-piece lowers (manufactured from both extruded and die-cast aluminium) mated to 43mm stanchions finished in a dark navy titanium oxide coating. Twin rear shocks feature a 12.5mm rod and pressurised piggyback reservoir. Both front and rear suspension are adjustable for spring preload. Braking power is served up by a front radial-mount monoblock four-piston caliper biting a 330mm floating disc and at the rear, a single piston caliper grabs a 256mm disc, both managed by ABS. Cast aluminium wheels feature five sporty Y-shaped spokes and wear fat sidewalled tyres; a 180/65B16 rear and 130/70B18 front, for a purposeful stance in profile or in three quarter. Accessories As a motorcycle born to be accessorised, customized and tailored to personal tastes, there is a wide range of Genuine Honda Accessories ready to bolt straight on to the CMX1100 Rebel. For 25YM the rider and pillion Comfort Seats were redesigned, with the passenger enjoying a flatter, 30mm deeper profile and the Back Rest is also taller and available with brown pad. Furthermore, three curated packs are ready to go from Honda dealers: The Style Pack (note: two versions available for CMX1100 or CMX1100T, not compatible with special version) is designed to highlight the custom appearance of the Rebel, by adding: Short Front Fender Headlight Cowl (extended Windshield for CMX1100T variant) Wheel Stripes Side Tank Pads Tank Pad Center (Following items only included in Style Pack for CMX1100 variant) Bar End Mirrors Radiator Side Covers Front Fork Boot The Comfort Pack (available in Black or Brown colours) is a versatile collection of parts designed to enhance both rider and pillions comfort and convenience: Rear Carrier Passenger Backrest Heated Grips The Travel Pack (available in Black or Brown colours) is a collection of accessories which turn the Rebel into a long-distance tourer and travel companion: Comfort Rider Seat Comfort Pillion Seat Right Saddle Bag & Support Left Saddle Bag & Support The following accessories are also available: Solo Carrier Screen Cowl Rider Seat (diamond padding brown / black) Brown Passenger Seat Tue, 14 Oct 2025 00:00:00 BST https://www.suttonmotorcycles.com/triumph/news/26ym-honda-cb650r The 24YM update of Hondas naked four-cylinder jewel evolved its Neo Sports Caf style with a sharp styling update from nose to tail. The CB650R also gained a five-inch TFT screen offers Honda RoadSync connectivity, operated by a four-way toggle switch. Engine performance remained unchanged at 70kW power and 63Nm torque, with an A2 option also available. The CB650R, alongside the CBR650R super sports bike, debuted Hondas pioneering Honda E-Clutch technology, which gives the rider choice of automatic clutch operation by simply using the shift pedal. Chassis specification includes Showa SFF-BP USD forks, dual four-piston radial mount front calipers and 120/70-ZR17 and 180/55-ZR17 tyre combination. 26YM revisions see two brand-new paint options and two new colour combinations strike a contemporary chord. Introduction Honda has always thrived on exploring new boundaries in design as well as engineering. In 18YM, the CB1000R, CB300R and CB125R brought a fresh identity to its naked motorcycle line-up, mixing caf racer inspirations with a forward-looking ultra-minimalist look under the Neo Sports Caf design theme. In 19YM the CB650R joined the family and its combination of cool styling, exhilarating four-cylinder engine performance and light, versatile handling ensured immediate sales success. Building on the momentum, for 21YM it received a major front suspension upgrade, plus a range of detail improvements to enhance comfort, usability and practicality. 24YM was an important year for the CB650R with it gaining updates to its style and functionality as well as becoming the first Honda motorcycles to be made available with Honda E-Clutch technology, which is designed to make motorcycling, from beginner right through to expert, even more enjoyable and even more exciting. For 26YM, a revised colour palette with contemporary options keeps the CB650R fresh. Valerio Aiello, of Hondas Rome R&D Department on the Neo Sports Caf design aesthetic: The entire current Neo Sport Caf range from Honda is the result of the CB4 Concept model presented at EICMA in 2015. Our desire was to explore the world of the caf racer and reinterpret it in a modern key. We wanted to create neo-classics that is, modern motorcycles showcasing classic design styles combined with modern techniques. I used inspiration from outside the world of motorcycles, in watches. Ive always liked their technicality and one of the key concepts used during the Neo Sports Caf design was 'Mechanical Art'. This is the desire to show the beauty of the various mechanical elements to which Honda has always given great importance. Model Overview 24YM introduced a fresh look to the CB650Rs retro minimalism. The redesign comprised a new headlight, radiator shrouds, rider/pillion seat, tail unit and taillight to inject a more dynamic energy, while the fuel tank remained a strong presence above the beautiful inline four-cylinder engine. The new look was supplemented by a new five-inch full colour TFT screen, designed for readability on bright days and featuring Honda RoadSync connectivity and operated by a new, easy-to-use 4-way lefthand backlit toggle switch to control on-screen, turn-by-turn navigation and other smartphone features. Performance remains unchanged for 26YM: 70kw peak power with 63Nm are fun figures for a naked bike, and the classic in-line 4 cylinder pick-up and high-revving top end power are longstanding Honda calling cards. A 35kW option is available for A2 licence holders. Available as an option on the CB650R, the new Honda E-Clutch takes away the need for the rider to use the clutch lever to make a shift either up or down the gearbox. The chassis also remains unchanged and a perfect package from city block to twisting back road. A steel diamond frame provides core rigidity while 41mm Showa SFF-BP USD front forks and Showa rear shock deliver high-quality suspension control. Four-piston radial-mount front brake calipers work 310mm floating discs and cast aluminium wheels mount 120/70-ZR17 and 180/55-ZR17 front and rear tyres. The 26YM CB650R will be available in the following colour options: **NEW** Mat Gunpowder Black Metallic with Graphite Black Metallic details **NEW** Mat Jeans Blue Metallic with Graphite Black Metallic details **NEW** Candy Energy Orange with Graphite Black Metallic details **NEW** Grand Prix Red with Graphite Black Metallic details Key Features Styling & Equipment Neo Sports Caf styling cuts an impressive shape in urban environments 5-inch full colour TFT screen includes Honda RoadSync connectivity for on-screen turn-by-turn navigation and access to other smartphone functions Simple to use left hand switchgear backlit for night-time use LED lighting all round for increased visibility Tightly wrapped, the CB650Rs Neo Sports Caf style received an evolution for 24YM, which featured the introduction of a new signature compact Trapezoid proportions; a new, sharper tail and short-overhang and new slanted LED headlight, with all other lighting being LED. From the front, via the radiator shrouds backwards, the overall look is sinuous, dynamic and with keen sense of purpose. The long fuel tank is a key motif of the family design; its smooth lines accentuate the solidity of real metal surfaces and crown the engineering of the four-cylinder powerplant. It also houses the ignition. A 35 handlebar angle makes tight, slow-speed turns and U-turns straightforward. The shape of the pillion and rider seats were also revised for 24YM to match the new tail; seat height is 810mm. Theres a USB Type-C socket located under the seat. The CB650R packs premium technology in the form of a five-inch full colour TFT screen that uses optical bonding to improve visibility in bright sunlight. The display itself is customisable between Bar, Circle and Simple display patterns and also offers smartphone connectivity via Honda RoadSync. Honda RoadSync operated via an easy-to-use, backlit four-way toggle-switch on the left handlebar allows straightforward, on-screen turn-by-turn navigation as well as the option (via a Bluetooth helmet headset) for the rider to make calls, listen to music or receive voice feedback of weather conditions. All an owner has to do is download the free Honda RoadSync app from either the Play Store or the App Store, connect to the CB650R, and go. Chassis 41mm Showa Separate Function Big Piston (SFF-BP) USD forks Four-piston, radial-mount front brake calipers and floating discs 120/70-ZR17 and 180/55-ZR17 front and rear tyres The steel diamond frame uses pressed swingarm pivot plates and twin elliptical spars with a rigidity balance specifically tuned (stiffer around the headstock and more flexible in the spar sections) to deliver excellent all-round handling characteristics with high levels of rider feedback. Rake is set at 25.5 with trail of 100mm and wheelbase of 1,450mm. Kerb weight is 205kg (207kg E-Clutch). Showas 41mm Separate Function Big Piston (SFF-BP) USD forks offer high-quality reaction. A pressure separation damper in one fork tube and spring mechanism in the other deliver high damping performance and lighter weight. Together with the use of a larger sized piston, the result is increased feel, bump absorption and control. Adjustable for 10-stage spring preload, the single-tube monoshock operates directly on the curvaceous gravity die-cast aluminium swingarm. Four-piston radial-mount front brake calipers work 310mm floating discs, and are paired with a single-piston rear caliper and 240mm disc. The ABS is a two-channel system. Cast aluminium wheels mount 120/70-ZR17 and 180/55-ZR17 front and rear tyres. Engine 70kW peak power with 63Nm peak torque 35kW A2 licence option available Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) The proven 649cc, DOHC 16-valve engine is tuned to create the purest, most enjoyable mid-sized four-cylinder performance possible, with the classically fast pick-up through the rev range and hard-hitting, high-revving top end for which Hondas in-line fours are renowned. Peak power of 70kW arrives @ 12,000rpm with peak torque @ 63Nm delivered at 9,500 rpm. A 35kW option is available for A2 licence holders. Direct cam actuation makes for a compact cylinder head; bore and stroke is set at 67mm x 46mm with compression ratio raised of 11.6:1. Iridium spark plugs are employed and twin air ducts either side of the fuel tank feed the airbox and produce a throaty intake roar. Asymmetric piston skirts minimise bore contact and reduce friction. Ferrous spines on the outer surface of the cylinder sleeves reduce oil consumption (and friction) with improved heat transfer and a silent SV cam chain reduces frictional losses by using a Vanadium coating on its pins. Internal water channelling from cylinder head to cylinders does away with most of the exterior hoses. The engine uses a compact internal architecture, stacked six-speed gearbox and starter layout with the cylinders canted forward 30. An assist/slipper clutch eases upshifts while managing rear-wheel lock up under hard braking and rapid downshifts. Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) manages rear wheel traction; it can be turned off should the rider choose. Fuel consumption of 20.4km/l (WMTC mode) gives a range of over 300km from the 15.4L fuel tank. EURO5 compliant, environmental efficiency has been updated with revisions to the ECU and catalyser, as well as the addition of an OBD2-2 sensor. Honda E-Clutch Pioneering technology allows the rider to start, stop and change gear without using the clutch lever just the shift pedal Available as an option from new; system adds 2kg to kerb weight Honda E-Clutch also allows normal operation of the clutch lever Brings more enjoyment and flexibility across a wide range of scenarios, for a next level riding experience Honda E-Clutch takes elements of the technology and performance of quickshifters, manually-operated clutches and Hondas Dual Clutch Transmission technology to create a unique blend of these well-proven approaches, opening up a whole new aspect of the motorcycling experience for riders of every type and experience level. The clutch and transmission hardware themselves are no different from a conventional motorcycle, with the ultra-compact system weighing only 2 kilograms. In operation, Honda E-clutch is simplicity itself, taking away the need to use the clutch lever to make a shift either up or down the gearbox. The rider simply has to operate the shift pedal for ultra-fast, consistent gear changes, bringing extra enjoyment to sporty riding. The clutch lever is also not needed when pulling away or coming to a stop. Becoming active as soon as the engine is switched on, the system manages both scenarios smoothly, while taking away the possibility of the engine stalling when in operation, providing extra convenience and peace of mind to town riding involving frequent starts and stops. In addition to enjoyment and convenience, Honda E-Clutch brings ultimate flexibility. Should the rider wish, they are able to operate the clutch lever as normal at any time. When the clutch lever is used, the Honda E-clutch system will re-activate after less than a second above a certain engine rpm; after 5 seconds at lower engine speeds. Should the rider wish to turn off the system for a particular ride, this is also possible via the switchgear on the left handlebar. The change to manual operation is indicated by a letter M on the instrument panel. The Honda E-Clutch also allows the rider to select an operation feel to set the strength of the force required on the shift pedal to make a gear change. Three settings are available: HARD, MEDIUM, and SOFT, each of which can be chosen independently for upshifting and downshifting. The technology will also advise the rider to shift down - via a symbol on the instrument panel - if it detects the motorcycle is in a high gear at a certain speed. The Honda E-Clutch manages clutch engagement and disengagement based on its reading of parameters including vehicle speed, throttle opening angle, engine rpm, pressure on the shift pedal, clutch motor reduction gear angle, engine countershaft speed and gear position. The clutch is operated through an actuator unit with two motors situated inside the right hand engine cover. As the clutch is engaged or disengaged, the engines ignition timing and fuel injection are also controlled, resulting in smooth, shock-free shifting in any situation. Junya Ono, Large Project Leader, Honda E-Clutch: Our Honda E-Clutch is designed to offer motorcyclists a new kind of experience that can make their riding even more fun and exciting. It also adds peace of mind and comfort to town riding or the daily commute. We hope that many riders will try our new system to enjoy the unique mix of sportiness and flexibility it offers.

Tue, 14 Oct 2025 00:00:00 BST https://www.suttonmotorcycles.com/triumph/news/26ym-honda-cbr650r The 24YM update to the CBR650R evolved its race-inspired style with an aggressive update from headlight to taillight. It introduced a 5-inch TFT screen with Honda RoadSync connectivity, operated by a simple to use 4-way toggle switch. Engine performance was unchanged at 70kW power and 63Nm torque, with an A2 option also available. The CBR650R alongside the naked CB650R were the first Hondas to be offered with the option of Honda E-Clutch technology, which gives the rider choice of automatic clutch operation by simply using the shift pedal. Chassis specification included Showa SFF-BP USD forks, dual four-piston radial mount front calipers and 120/70-ZR17 and 180/55-ZR17 tyre combination. For 26YM, new contemporary colours reinvigorate the range and bring the sports bike right up to date. Introduction Hondas fully faired CBR650F, launched in 2014 alongside the naked CB650F, provided a healthy slice of four-cylinder middleweight performance, very much at the sporty end of the sports touring spectrum. Five years later, the CBR650F became the CBR650R, the upgrade from F to R indicating an even more potent shot of sporty ability designed to be explored, used and enjoyed on the street. In the process of its transformation the CBR650R became, deliberately, a rare breed: a four-cylinder sports bike that provides similar pleasure, enjoyment and adrenaline to an RR machine, yet with enough practicality and sensible running costs to make it a viable option as day-to-day transport in addition to weekend fun. Its a direction that was well received. In 21YM, the CBR650R was the best-selling sports bike in Europe as it continued its development curve with user-driven detail improvements and a major upgrade for the front suspension. And those revisions resonated with customers, with the CBR650R retaining that top selling spot since 2021. 24YM was an important year for the CBR650R with it gaining style and functionality upgrades. It was this bike alongside its naked sibling, the CB650R that launched Hondas pioneering Honda E-Clutch technology, designed to make motorcycling, from beginner right through to expert, even more enjoyable and exciting. For 26YM, a revised colour palette introduces new contemporary hues to keeps the CBR650R fresh, at the top of the super sports market. Model Overview The CBR650Rs stylish lines were overhauled for 24YM, with a new headlight, fairing, rider/pillion seat, tail unit and taillight inject sharper sporting energy. It also gained a five-inch full colour TFT screen, optically bonded for readability on bright days and featuring Honda RoadSync connectivity. Managed by an easy-to-use backlit four-way lefthand toggle switch riders can now enjoy on-screen, turn-by-turn navigation and other smartphone features. Performance from the four-cylinder engine remained unchanged; 70kw peak power with 63Nm are fun figures to play with, and the classic in-line 4 cylinder pick-up and high-revving top end power are longstanding Honda calling cards. A 35kW option is available for A2 licence holders. 24YM also saw the introduction of the optional Honda E-Clutch technology, a revolutionary take on transmissions, which removes the need for the rider to use the clutch lever to make a shift either up or down the gearbox. A steel diamond frame provides core rigidity while 41mm Showa SFF-BP USD front forks and Showa rear shock deliver high-quality suspension control. Four-piston radial-mount front brake calipers work 310mm floating discs and cast aluminium wheels mount 120/70-ZR17 and 180/55-ZR17 front and rear tyres. The 26YM CBR650R will be available in two colour options: **NEW** Mat Gunpowder Black Metallic with fluorescent yellow accent Grand Prix Red Tricolour Key Features Styling & Equipment Sports styling has been shaped for speed, with sculpted surfaces 5-inch full colour TFT screen includes Honda RoadSync connectivity and is operated through simple to use backlit left hand switchgear All round LED lighting for increased visibility With its four-cylinder power unit clearly on display, the CBR650Rs visuals are pure sporting appeal, shaped purely for speed. Led by dual LED headlights which emit a penetrating stare and muscular upper and lower fairings that feature slim lines and angles. An aggressive riding position starts with clip-on handlebars that mount beneath the top yoke, matched to rear set footpegs. The new seat unit, too is even more compact and neatly truncates the rear of the machine, adding to the hard-edged sense of purpose. Trim side panels accentuate the minimalism, as does the steel rear mudguard/number plate mount. Pillion and rider seat shaping has been revised to match the seat unit; seat height remains 810mm. Theres a USB Type-C socket located under the seat. Premium technology comes in the form of a five-inch full colour TFT screen that uses optical bonding to improve visibility in bright sunlight. By sealing the gap between the cover glass and TFT screen with resin, glare is reduced and backlight transmittance improved. Its customisable between Bar, Circle and Simple display patterns and also offers the smartphone connectivity of Honda RoadSync. Honda RoadSync functionality is operated through an easy-to-use, backlit four-way toggle-switch on the left handlebar, which allows straightforward, on-screen turn-by-turn navigation as well as the option (via a Bluetooth helmet headset) for the rider to make calls, listen to music or receive voice feedback of weather conditions. All an owner has to do is download the free Honda RoadSync app from either the Play Store or the App Store, connect to the CBR650R, and go.

Honda E-Clutch Pioneering technology allows the rider to start, stop and change gear without using the clutch lever just the shift pedal Available as an option from new; system adds 2kg to kerb weight Honda E-Clutch also allows normal operation of the clutch lever Brings more enjoyment and flexibility across a wide range of scenarios, for a next level riding experience Honda E-Clutch takes elements of the technology and performance of quickshifters, manually-operated clutches and Hondas Dual Clutch Transmission technology to create a unique blend of these well-proven approaches, opening up a whole new aspect of the motorcycling experience for riders of every type and experience level. The clutch and transmission hardware themselves are no different from a conventional motorcycle, with the ultra-compact system weighing only 2 kilograms. In operation, Honda E-clutch is simplicity itself, taking away the need to use the clutch lever to make a shift either up or down the gearbox. The rider simply has to operate the shift pedal for ultra-fast, consistent gear changes, bringing extra enjoyment to sporty riding. The clutch lever is also not needed when pulling away or coming to a stop. Becoming active as soon as the engine is switched on, the system manages both scenarios smoothly, while taking away the possibility of the engine stalling when in operation, providing extra convenience and peace of mind to town riding involving frequent starts and stops. In addition to enjoyment and convenience, Honda E-Clutch brings ultimate flexibility. Should the rider wish, they are able to operate the clutch lever as normal at any time. When the clutch lever is used, the Honda E-clutch system will re-activate after less than a second above a certain engine rpm; after 5 seconds at lower engine speeds. Should the rider wish to turn off the system for a particular ride, this is also possible via the switchgear on the left handlebar. The change to manual operation is indicated by a letter M on the instrument panel. The Honda E-Clutch also allows the rider to select an operation feel to set the strength of the force required on the shift pedal to make a gear change. Three settings are available: HARD, MEDIUM, and SOFT, each of which can be chosen independently for upshifting and downshifting. The technology will also advise the rider to shift down - via a symbol on the instrument panel - if it detects the motorcycle is in a high gear at a certain speed. The Honda E-Clutch manages clutch engagement and disengagement based on its reading of parameters including vehicle speed, throttle opening angle, engine rpm, pressure on the shift pedal, clutch motor reduction gear angle, engine countershaft speed and gear position. The clutch is operated through an actuator unit with two motors situated inside the right hand engine cover. As the clutch is engaged or disengaged, the engines ignition timing and fuel injection are also controlled, resulting in smooth, shock-free shifting in any situation. Junya Ono, Large Project Leader, Honda E-Clutch: Our Honda E-Clutch is designed to offer motorcyclists a new kind of experience that can make their riding even more fun and exciting. It also adds peace of mind and comfort to town riding or the daily commute. We hope that many riders will try our new system to enjoy the unique mix of sportiness and flexibility it offers.

The latest chapter in a long and illustrious story of performance bikes, the F is a retro naked inspired by icons from the CB back catalogue, particularly the AMA-spec CB750F of Freddie Spencer. The bikes swooping style is pure 80s, a decade increasingly influencing contemporary popular culture in everything from music, style, clothing and more. The clean design of the CB1000F focuses on the essentials, with a strong connecting line flowing from the tank, through the side covers and seat into the rear cowl. Other retro influences include single round headlamp flanked by twin horns, the bold tank graphics, and a bespoke exhaust topped with a megaphone style muffler. Powering the CB1000F is the proven CBR1000RR Fireblade unit, which has undergone a variety of development work to create a substantial change in character. Revised camshafts for exhaust and intake valve timing, as well as tuned intake specifications, help produce maximum power of 91kW @ 9,000rpm and 103Nm of torque @ 8,000rpm ensuring power is always available in everyday riding. These changes also give the CB1000F an evocative, unique four-cylinder engine sound as well as delivering enjoyable, well-balanced performance across the entire rpm range. To ensure an all-round supple ride, 41mm Showa SFF-BP USD front forks have been employed up front, paired with an adjustable Showa rear shock operating a Pro-Link linkage offer high-quality ride control and dynamic performance. Ensuring all round control, four-piston radial-mount front brake calipers work 310mm floating discs. Juxtaposed against the outwardly retro look is a thoroughly modern and extensive standard specification. A six-axis Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) facilitates Cornering ABS, whilst Throttle By Wire (TBW) delivers three default riding modes to tailor the bike to any condition. With preset combinations of Power, Engine Brake, HSTC with integrated wheelie control settings, plus two USER options allowing the rider to tailor their preferred settings, the rider is free to choose the right mode for any kind of ride. The optically bonded five-inch TFT screen offers intuitive usability, clarity even in bright light, and Honda RoadSync smartphone connectivity through the simple switchgear on the left handlebar, whilst a Honda Smart Key can be tucked away in a pocket for effortless operation. Continuing Hondas commitment to reduce consumption of global resources and increase the use of more easy to recycle materials, the CB1000Fs rear fenders and seat base are made from pre-consumer recycled PP (Polypropylene). Rounding out the CB1000Fs introduction to the European market is a range of Genuine Honda Accessories that enhance style, performance, and comfort. Available as part of carefully curated packs (Sports, Comfort, or Travel) or available individually, the CB1000F can be tailored to your exact needs.

Sitting alongside the recently updated Address 125 in Suzukis small capacity scooter lineup, the sportily-styled Avenis is now available in a striking bronze and black combination with a large, race livery-esque Avenis decal running across the side panels and a more understated all-black. The luxury Burgman Street 125EX also comes in an all-black, plus a smart, sophisticated matt navy blue, and Pearl Grace White; a stylish off-white. Both models use the proven Suzuki Eco Performance engine, which has powered over five million scooters worldwide and delivers 8.7PS and 10Nm of peak torque in the Avenis, and 8.6PS in the Burgman, while achieving an impressive 148.67mpg. Both scooters also boast 21.5 litres of under seat storage space, two helmet hooks, and two utility hooks. Upfront theres a USB charging port in a closable storage compartment. The Avenis 125 is currently available with an OTR price of 2,599, while the Burgman Street 125EX comes with an OTR price of 2,799. VIEW AVENIS VIEW BURGMAN 125EX Thu, 04 Sep 2025 00:00:00 BST https://www.suttonmotorcycles.com/triumph/news/suzuki-releases-updated-address-125-scooter Suzuki GB has announced the release of an updated Address 125 scooter, with a revised engine that produces more peak torque lower down the rev range, courtesy of changes to its camshaft profile and airbox. Theres also a revised frame, which is lighter, new wheels, and a new fuel tank that is both larger and lighter. Practicality is further boosted by an increase in underseat storage space. Though the bodywork has been restyled, the Address 125 continues to embody classic scooter design. At its heart remains Suzukis Eco Performance engine (SEP), which has a proven track record for both performance and reliability, and already powers over seven million Suzuki scooters, globally. The newest version meets the latest Euro 5+ emissions standards, achieving 148.6mpg, emitting just 45 g/km of CO. Peak torque increases to 10.2Nm and is now made at 5,000rpm, compared to 10Nm at 5,500rpm on the previous model and peak power is 8.4PS, made 250rpm further down the rev range than before, at 6,500rpm, resulting in punchier acceleration performance. Changes to the camshaft profile improve combustion efficiency and engine performance. Specifically, the intake cam lifts higher to increase the amount of air intake, while the exhaust cam timing was adjusted to minimise overlap. The airbox capacity has also increased 10%, and one of the two exhaust catalytic converters has been eliminated. Further measures to improve fuel efficiency include the adoption of an electromagnetic steel plate for the stator core, a change in the fuel injector mounting angle, modification of the CVT settings, and a lower idling rpm. The engine starts up more quietly thanks to the change from an overrunning clutch to a roller type one-way clutch, and the crankshaft was revised to accommodate this change. An updated underbone frame is 1kg lighter than the previous version, and increases torsional rigidity by 25%. The result is contribution to excellent fuel economy, stability, and cornering performance. The modifications to the frame which also saw the rear suspension pivot point moved higher and further back also enabled other improvements, such as a larger under seat storage compartment, a larger airbox, and a bigger fuel tank. Despite increasing capacity from five to 5.3 litres, the new fuel tank is 25% lighter. A combined braking system sees braking force distributed to both the front and rear wheels with a 190mm disc at the front and a 120mm drum at the rear when the left brake lever is operated. Rider and pillion comfort is improved via a new seat and new pillion footpegs which are lighter and 15mm longer. Theres a wide, spacious floorboard for riders to adjust their feet position, and a new steel leg shield extends further to offer protection in case of a drop. Theres also a steel front mudguard. The unique tail-mounted fuel cap of the previous model remains, but is now concealed via a colour-coded cap, which opens with the ignition key. Underseat storage space is increased from 21.8 litres to 24.4 litres, and a second inner storage pocket has been added up front, with one housing a USB charging port, and there are two utility hooks to hang bags and two helmet hooks under the seat. A sidestand and centre stand are standard equipment, and standard security features include a shutter that covers the ignition key hole that is opened by a magnet mechanism coded to the owners key. Still wearing classic scooter styling, the rectangular headlight has been reshaped and boasts a classy chrome surround, and a new LED, U-shaped position light sits centrally below the Suzuki emblem, and is flanked by two additional LED position lights with integrated indicators. Theres also a U-shaped, LED rear taillight. The 2026 Address 125 comes in Metallic Matt Stellar Blue, Pearl Grace White, and Metallic Matt Black No.2. It is available now with an OTR price of 2,599. Mon, 01 Sep 2025 00:00:00 BST https://www.suttonmotorcycles.com/triumph/news/26ym-honda-x-adv Introduction Its not often in the world of motorcycling that a fresh line of thinking emerges to create a new breed of machine. But Honda specialises in innovation and for 17YM unveiled a completely new concept, straight out of left field the X-ADV. The thought processes that led to its birth? Consider the attributes of the average adventure-style motorcycle tough go-anywhere appeal, an upright riding position giving superb visibility and remarkable all-round usefulness, work or play. Then look at the typical commuter: it might be a scooter or motorcycle, but in either case it will be easy to manage, nimble and loaded with convenience, efficiency and useful storage space. Hondas forward-thinking engineers combined the two together, and something special happened. The machine they created had a rugged, stylish SUV image fully at home navigating the urban sprawl. And while it was loaded with all the premium features that enable easy life in the big city, it also had the looks, engine power and chassis ability to inject every ride with the promise of adventure. The X-ADV captured the essence of two-wheeled freedom in an exciting new form and garnered the attention of an army of riders around Europe, eager for something new, and has proved itself a genuine sales success. And it has not stood still. In 21YM Honda upped the X-ADVs engine performance, trimmed weight, enhanced looks and added even more usefulness; in 2023 the X-ADV was Hondas second best-selling motorcycle in Europe, and since its introduction to the line-up, nearly 60,000 have been sold across the continent. For 25YM the X-ADV received updates to style, tech, all-round usability, plus a new colour palette. It also adopted a more sustainable manufacturing process to continue its charge as an innovative two-wheeled pathfinder. Model Overview Long standing apart from the crowd, the X-ADV has always cut a unique shape. For the 25YM refresh, the bodywork was redesigned to introduce an even sharper, more aggressive look with a premium frontal light signature. Dual LED headlights feature highly visible Daytime Running Lights (DRL), which in a worlds first for motorcycles, also subtly integrated the bikes indicators. For easy ground reach the seat is carefully contoured at the shoulders. The under-seat storage has a 22L volume and houses a USB-C charging point; theres also a useful glovebox. A 5-inch full colour TFT screen features a clear array of images, colourways and menu structures, and is designed for easy readability on bright days and features Honda RoadSync connectivity. Managed by an easy-to-use four-way lefthand backlit toggle switch, the rider can enjoy on-screen, turn-by-turn navigation in addition to other smartphone features. Cruise control was a useful 25YM addition for longer highway journeys and works exceptionally well with the DCT to provide a high-quality, less tiring ride when touring. The parallel twin-cylinder engine blends strong low-to mid-range performance with easy manners and excellent fuel efficiency. Peak power is set at 43.1kW with an impressive 69Nm of torque. Throttle By Wire (TBW) serves up four default rider modes with pre-set combinations of settings for Power, Engine Braking and Honda Selectable Torque Control plus a customisable USER option. The 3-level Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) features newly refined inputs for its Gravel and Rain settings. The Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) has automatic shifting schedules that integrate with the riding modes, as well as the option to select the favourite shift pattern in the USER set-up; it has also been updated for smoother low-speed response. A tough chassis is comprised of a tubular steel frame, 41mm USD front forks, rear monoshock (with Pro-Link) and aluminium swingarm. A 17-inch front wheel is matched to a 15-inch rear with dual, radial-mount four-piston calipers braking up front. The 26YM X-ADV will be available in the following colour options: Graphite Black Pearl Glare White Matte Deep Mud Gray Also, a unique Special Edition X-ADV will be available in a *NEW* tricolour Mat Pearl Glare White special edition with blue and red graphic set, that channels Hondas larger adventure bikes the Transalp and Africa Twin. Key Features Styling & Equipment Sharp, slim and aggressive styling defined by twin-LED projector headlights with DRLs and subtly integrated indicators Full-colour 5-inch TFT screen, with backlit switchgear and Honda RoadSync smartphone connectivity Large 22L storage space houses an under-seat USB-C socket, with more space available from the glovebox The X-ADVs head-turning styling conceived and developed by Hondas R&D team in Italy evolved in 21YM to become slimmer and sharper, the silhouette tight and deliberately upright, each body-panel honed with strong intent. It moved on again for 25YM with an even more razor-edged look up front from a lithe fairing that defined the almost origami-like dynamism of interlocking angles and shaping. And, leading from the front, penetrating new dual LED projector headlights that feature Daytime Running Lights (DRLs) subtly integrate the indicators; Hondas hidden eye technique blacks out the area around projector lenses making the DRLs stand out. All other lighting is LED. In addition, Honda adopted a sustainable Durabio and other recycled plastics and rubber materials are used in the bodywork. Honda has set "efficient use of resources" as part of its environmental targets and aims to achieve "100% sustainable material usage" by 2050. The 25YM X-ADV was the first Honda motorcycle model to actively use sustainable materials such as recycled plastics and biomass plastics that have a low environmental impact. Recycled materials from Honda automobile bumpers are used for the luggage box and seat bottom for the first time Pre-consumer recycled polypropylene material*[1] is used for the black-coloured cover The biomass plastic "DURABIO"*[2] is used for the fairing and windscreen The world's first*[3] use of DURABIO, a high-gloss colouring material, in motorcycle fairings reduces CO2 emissions from the conventional painting process Ergonomically, the 820mm seat height (newly re-shaped for easy ground reach) and wide handlebar set at 940mm ensure a high eye point for riders for outstanding visibility. The seat base now features a 10% increase in the amount of urethane used to increase ride comfort, whilst a change in the layout of the seat damper has also improved the quality of the opening and closing motion of the unit. For commuting or touring, the X-ADVs link-type screen easily adjusts without tools through five positions from to maximise or minimise airflow. Redesigned, with a revised internal structure and controls, the number of adjustment steps has been reduced and the process streamlined. The previous model required 5 steps of operation with both hands, but this new model allows height adjustment with 3 steps of operation with one hand, further improving operability. The total height difference is 139mm, with an 11 rake between the highest and lowest points. Premium technology, in the form of a 5-inch full colour TFT screen, uses optical bonding to improve visibility in bright sunlight. By sealing the gap between the cover glass and TFT screen with resin, glare is reduced, and visibility improved. The display itself is customisable between Bar, Circle and Simple display patterns and offers smartphone connectivity via the Honda RoadSync app. Honda RoadSync allows straightforward, on-screen turn-by-turn navigation as well as the option (via a Bluetooth helmet headset) for the rider to make calls, listen to music or receive voice feedback of weather conditions. All an owner needs to do is download the free Honda RoadSync app from either the Play Store or the App Store, connect to the X-ADV, and go. Tough plastic hand guards deflect wind and rain, while adding protection for hands and levers from stones when off-road. A shot-peened aluminium bash plate provides additional protection to the underside. Cruise control integrates with the DCT smoothly and is very easy to use; activation is from the right switchgear, with plus, minus and resume set from the left. The under-seat 22L luggage space can accommodate a full-face helmet and is lit with an integral LED, placed to deliver uniform illumination without glare. For added convenience, a USB-C charging socket is located at the rear of the compartment. A centre stand with tilt sensor is fitted as standard and allows the X-ADV to be parked on an incline without fear of toppling. For added convenience the X-ADV uses a Smart Key, which lives in the riders pocket and does away with the need to use a key for ignition, fuel cap and seat. With the Smart Key present, one push of the knob-type main switch powers the bike up and makes it possible to turn, giving the rider control of the ignition/steering lock and, via two rocker switches, the fuel cap and seat. It also has an answer back function, which makes the indicators flash for easy identification from a distance, and locks and unlocks the optional Smart Top Box. A clutch mechanism in the main switch stops the handlebars unlocking by force for added security. The rear indicators also have a self-cancelling Emergency Stop Signal (ESS) function. If negative acceleration of 6.0m/s2 is detected at a minimum speed of 53km/h with either brake working, the hazard lights flash to warn other road users a hard stop is in process. At the same speed the threshold is reduced if ABS is activated to a negative acceleration of over 2.5m/s2. The indicators also auto-cancel. Rather than using a simple timer, the system compares front and rear wheel speed difference and calculates when to cancel the indication relative to the situation. Engine Throttle By Wire control; peak power figure of 43.1kW with 69Nm torque Economic engine is capable of achieving 3.6l/100km fuel efficiency Restricted 35kW A2 compliant specification also available The design of the X-ADVs liquid-cooled, SOHC eight-valve parallel twin-cylinder engine ensures punchy performance in the low-to-mid range. A relatively long-stroke architecture and specially shaped combustion chambers combine with the high-inertial mass crankshaft to produce large amounts of effortless torque from very low rpm. A forward cant brings the centre of gravity down for optimum stability. Peak power is set at 43.1kW @ 6,750rpm, with maximum torque of 69Nm @ 4,750rpm. From 30 km/h the X-ADV will cover 20m in 1.7s, 50m in 3.2s, while at 60km/h the torquey engine is turning at just 2,500rpm. For A2 licence holders a 35kW version is available, which can be easily converted to the full power version by a Honda dealer at the appropriate time. Equally, it is possible to restrict the full power version to 35kW by a Honda dealer remapping the ECU. Twin balancers counteract vibration from higher rpm inertia without affecting the distinct throb delivered by the engines irregular firing order and 270 phased crankshaft. Bore and stroke is set at 77 x 80mm. Where possible components are made to do more than one job: the camshaft drives the water pump, while one of the balancer shafts drives the oil pump. By keeping the number of parts to a minimum in this way, the engine is kept light, efficient and reliable. This means that the X-ADV engine sips fuel with a measured consumption of 3.6L/100km (WMTC mode) providing a potential range of over 360km from the 13.2-litre fuel tank. A revised catalyser and OBD2-2 sensor clean ensures emissions compliance. Engine Electronics Throttle By Wire delivers four default riding modes USER customisation offers bespoke setup Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) features three levels of intervention and has been updated for smoother control With TBW managing engine performance and character there are four modes for the rider to choose from, covering all riding conditions. There are four levels of Mode selection, managed by the left-hand switchgear. STANDARD delivers a balanced middle point between engine power delivery (P), engine braking (EB), DCT shift response and HSTC intervention, with the strongest level of ABS intervention. SPORT gives more aggressive P delivery and strong EB, with low HSTC intervention, high ABS and sporty DCT performance. RAIN transmits low P delivery and EB, high HSTC and ABS input with relaxed DCT schedule. GRAVEL employs high P and EB with low HSTC, ABS and specific gravel DCT setting. USER offers two custom options of low/medium/high between engine power delivery and engine braking and low/medium/high/off for HSTC. There are also five levels of DCT shift pattern to use. HSTC offers refined control as it uses TBW to manage torque delivered to the rear wheel, with three levels of input. Levels 1 and 3 were optimised for the 25YM update to deliver smoother management. Level 1 allows the minimum intervention for some rear wheel spin on gravel or dirt for instance, and its level of intervention is reduced from the previous design. Level 2 is the default setting and provides confidence-inspiring traction for general riding conditions. Level 3 provides maximum control for slippery roads. HSTC can also be switched OFF. Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) Differing shifting schedules link with riding modes USER mode allows choice of 5 settings, from smooth to aggressive Hondas DCT technology is now in its 17th year of production, and almost 280,000 units of DCT-equipped Honda two-wheelers have been sold in Europe since 2010. It delivers consistent, seamless gear changes up or down and very quickly becomes second nature in use. It uses two clutches: one for start-up and 1st, 3rd and 5th, the other for 2nd, 4th and 6th, with the mainshaft for each clutch located inside the other for compact packaging. The system delivers consistent, seamless gear changes and very quickly becomes second nature in use. Each clutch is independently controlled by its own electro-hydraulic circuit. When a gear change occurs, the system pre-selects the target gear using the clutch not currently in use. The first clutch is then electronically disengaged as, simultaneously, the second clutch engages. The 25YM X-ADV update allowed smoother starting from standstill and control at low speed under 10km/h for U-turns. This required a quick yet gentle driving force at small throttle openings. Surpassing the operating parameters of the previous generation DCT the latest iteration now estimates the oil pressure of the clutch piston chamber and completely reviews the way feedback gain is applied, resulting in improved, more delicate clutch response. Alongside the way TBW now opens from closed, DCT also features a dedicated setting for extremely low speed running. Consistent, fast and seamless gear changes are always on offer. Furthermore, as the twin clutches transfer drive from one gear to the next with minimal interruption of the drive to the rear wheel, any gear change shock and pitching of the machine is negligible, making the change feel direct as well as smooth. Extra benefits include durability (as the gears cannot be damaged by missing a gear) impossibility of stalling, low stress urban riding, reduced rider fatigue and crucially the ability to concentrate more on riding lines, braking and acceleration points. The DCT system offers two distinct riding approaches Automatic Transmission (AT), with pre-programmed shift patterns which constantly read vehicle speed, gear selected and engine rpm to decide when a shift should occur, and Manual Transmission (MT), for gear changes using the paddle-shift style triggers on the left handlebar. Through TBW control there are five Automatic shifting schedules available. Level 1 is the most relaxed, with upshifts and downshifts operating at relatively lower rpm; it is linked with the RAIN riding mode. Level 4, on the other extreme, shifts up at higher rpm and also downshifts earlier for more engine braking effect; it is linked with the SPORT mode. Level 2 is linked with STANDARD riding mode, with Level 3 situated between STANDARD and SPORT. For the GRAVEL riding mode the X-ADV uses a relatively sporty shifting pattern; this has the added functionality of a decreased level of slip as the clutches operate from a fully open or closed throttle to give the rider more direct feel for traction at the rear wheel, and the ability to perform controlled sliding off road. The USER mode functionality allows the rider to select any of the DCT shift patterns with the preferred permutations of the other parameters Power delivery, Engine Braking, ABS and HSTC. Chassis Lightweight tubular steel diamond frame 41mm cartridge-style USD fork and Pro-Link swingarm Radial mount four-piston front brake calipers, 296mm discs and ABS 120/70 R17 and 160/60 R15 front and rear tyres The X-ADVs tubular steel diamond frame is light, strong and makes ample space for the under-seat compartment. Rake and trail are set at 27/104mm with a wheelbase of 1590mm. A 39 steering angle (and turning radius of 2.8m) makes the X-ADV highly manoeuvrable in tight traffic. Long travel suspension 153.5mm up front and 150mm from the rear is matched to 165mm of ground clearance to allow the X-ADV to conquer any surface. Overall wet weight is 237kg. For handling rough terrain, the 41mm cartridge-type USD fork adjusts for spring preload and rebound damping. The spring preload adjustable rear shock is a single tube split pressure design and operates the aluminium swingarm constructed from a machined-hollow cross member and U-shaped (in cross section) arms through Pro-Link. The 17-inch front wheel and 15-inch rear use stainless steel rust-resistant spokes and contribute to the X-ADVs ability to comfortably soak up rough terrain. Block-pattern tyres add to the ride quality and L-shape valve stems make checking air pressure easy. Tyres are sized 120/70 R17 and 160/60 R15 front and rear. Dual radial-mount opposed four-piston calipers bite 296mm discs and work through ABS. Accessories A full range of Genuine Honda Accessories are available for the X-ADV either individually or as part of five curated packs for convenience. These include: Adventure Pack Highlight the X-ADVs off-road appearance with Front Fog Lights, Front Side Pipes, Black Knuckle Guard Extensions and Riders Footpegs.

The success is down to a compelling combination of ingredients: the classic Grand Touring (GT) elements of strong road presence and genuine comfort for two, mixed with sporty, agile handling and punchy engine performance that makes every ride a blast. Furthermore, every Forza model has always been known as a supremely smart, stylish and premium product, loaded with useful features that make life on the move that much easier, with a build quality and styling that exudes class. In 2021 the Forza 125 and Forza 350 were joined by a range-topping, large capacity sibling - the Forza 750. Fast, agile and luxurious, the Forza 750 launched to critical acclaim and has made its presence felt in a hotly contested segment of the market. As equipped for the daily commute, in and out of town, as it is for a weekend tour, it is the epitome of quality and practicality. A rational choice, yes, but true to its Forza pedigree, its also something else a whole load of stylish fun. For 25YM the Forza 750 received updates to style, tech and all-round usability that further cemented its aspirational status, as well as moving toward more sustainable production. Model Overview The Forza 750s taut, angular bodywork offers ample high-speed wind protection, plenty of rider leg room and low seat height and a distinct lack of any excess bulk. Dual headlights with Daytime Running Lights and in-built indicators led the 25YM style update while sustainability was enhanced by the use of DurabioTM material in certain areas. Theres under-seat storage space to take a full-face helmet and the handy glovebox for everyday items. An updated five-inch TFT instrument display offers Honda RoadSync linking the rider to their smartphone. Ignition, locking and seat opening is via Smart Key. Cruise control is now standard-fit. Powered by a torquey, fuel-efficient 745cc twin-cylinder engine, Throttle By Wire (TBW) allows adjustable engine character through three default rider modes: RAIN, STANDARD and SPORT, plus a customisable USER mode. Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) offers a fine level of intervention over three levels (with 25YM refinements in RAIN mode) while the Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) features automatic shifting schedules that link with the riding modes. Low speed response and feel has been optimised. A tubular steel frame, aluminium swingarm, 41mm USD forks, radial-mount four-piston brake calipers, Pro-Link rear suspension and 15-inch/17-inch front/rear wheel combination comprise the well-equipped chassis and deliver sports motorcycle levels of handling in scooter form. The 26YM Forza 750 will be available in the following colour options: Mat Ballistic Black Metallic Mat Warm Ash Metallic *NEW* Pearl Glare White Key Features Styling & Equipment Classy and roomy GT styling provides ample weather protection for rider and pillion Bio-based DurabioTM and recycled materials used in manufacture of bodywork High technology count, with Smart Key operation, LED headlights with Daytime Running Lights (DRL), 5-inch TFT display with illuminated handlebar control, smartphone connectivity, cruise control and much more As befits a GT scooter, the Forza 750s sleek front fairing mounts the mirrors high and wide and provides ample wind protection for high-speed cruising, without the type of excessive bulk that hinders around-town agility. The Forza 750s bodywork is a taut, angular design which exudes premium maxi-scooter style. Up front, the headlight unit features Daytime Running Lights for a premium face. The electric screen design cocoons rider and pillion in a tranquil pocket of air; at 480mm it is 100mm (25%) wider than the previous design and operates through 120mm of height adjustment with a 10 difference in angle (forwards) at maximum extension. The screen also features an automatic lowering function, which lowers the screen to its lowest position when the ignition is turned off, contributing to convenience when parking. The screen is also equipped with a memory function that automatically raises the screen to its last set height from the last trip. This functionality activates when driving from 5km/h. In addition, manufacture of the screen and fairing uses DurabioTM (a bio-based polycarbonate resin), with more recycled plastic/rubber materials also used in other areas of the bodywork. But on top of the all-important riding functionality and as head of the sophisticated Forza family the Forza 750 is also a rolling statement of aspiration, with style that exudes premium appeal and a presence that will attract attention whenever, and wherever, its ridden. Of course, the practical details matter. Theres plenty of leg and foot room up front thanks to the reprofiled fairing and footstep, while the carefully contoured seat is instantly comfortable and ensures easy ground reach. Seat height is set at 790mm.The under-seat luggage space has 22L of volume and accepts a full-face helmet. Theres also a useful, and easy-to-access, glove compartment in the right-side inner fairing which can stow everyday items. The USB-C charging socket is located in a prominent position on the handlebars. Cruise control integrates with the DCT smoothly and is very easy to use; activation is from the right switchgear, with plus/minus and resume/set from the left. Key data is relayed to riders through an updated five-inch full colour TFT screen, which uses optical bonding to improve visibility in bright sunlight. By sealing the gap between the cover glass and TFT screen with resin, glare is reduced, and legibility improved. The display itself is customisable between Bar, Circle and Simple display patterns and offers smartphone connectivity via Honda RoadSync. Honda RoadSync alongside an easy-to-use, backlit four-way toggle-switch on the left handlebar allows straightforward, on-screen turn-by-turn navigation as well as the option (via a Bluetooth helmet headset) for the rider to make calls, listen to music or receive voice feedback of weather conditions. All an owner needs to do is download the free Honda RoadSync app from either the Play Store or the App Store, connect to the Forza 750, and go. For added convenience the Forza 750 uses a Smart Key, which lives in the riders pocket and does away with the need to use a key for ignition, fuel cap and seat. With the Smart Key present, one push of the knob-type main switch powers it up and makes it possible to turn, giving the rider control of the ignition/steering lock and, via two rocker switches, the fuel cap and seat. It also locks and unlocks the optional Smart Top Box and has an answer back function which makes the indicators flash for easy identification from a distance. A clutch mechanism in the main switch stops the handlebars unlocking by force. The rear indicators have an Emergency Stop Signal (ESS) function. If negative acceleration of 6.0m/s2 is detected at a minimum speed of 53km/h with either brake working, the hazard lights flash to warn other road users a hard stop is in process. At the same speed the threshold is reduced if ABS is activated to a negative acceleration of a minimum 2.5m/s2. They also auto-cancel; rather than using a simple timer, the system compares front and rear wheel speed difference and calculates when to cancel the indication relative to the situation. Engine Peak power of 43.1kW, with 69Nm torque and 7,000rpm redline Throttle By Wire engine management 28.3km/l possible (WMTC mode) 35kW A2 licence version available The proven design of the liquid-cooled, SOHC 8-valve parallel twin-cylinder engine ensures punchy performance in the low-to-mid range. Mechanically unchanged for 26YM, its relatively long-stroke architecture and specially shaped combustion chambers combine with the high-inertial mass crankshaft to produce large amounts of effortless torque from very low rpm. A forward cant brings the centre of gravity down for optimum stability. Peak power is 43.1kW @ 6,750rpm with maximum torque of 69Nm @ 4,750rpm, capped by a 7,000rpm redline. The Forza 750 will cover 0-50m in 3.9s and at 60km/h the engine is turning over at just 2,500rpm. Twin balancers counteract vibration from higher rpm inertia without affecting the distinct throb delivered by the engines irregular firing order and 270 phased crankshaft. Bore and stroke are set at 77mm and 80mm respectively. Where possible, components are made to do more than one job: the camshaft drives the water pump, while one of the balancer shafts drives the oil pump. By keeping the number of parts to a minimum in this way, the engine is kept light, efficient and reliable. For A2 licence holders a 35kW version is available, which can be easily converted to the full power version by a Honda dealer at the appropriate time. Equally, it is possible to restrict the full power version to 35kW by a Honda dealer. The Forza 750 engine is exceptionally frugal with a measured consumption of 28.3km/l (WMTC mode) providing a potential 375km cruising range from the 13.2-litre fuel tank. Engine Electronics Throttle By Wire allows three default riding modes, plus USER customisation 3-level Honda Selectable Torque Control features smooth management and refined Rain mode With TBW managing the engine electronics, there are three modes for the rider to choose from, covering a wide range of riding conditions. Mode selection is managed between the left-hand switchgear and TFT display. STANDARD delivers a balanced middle point between engine power delivery (P), Engine Braking (EB) and HSTC SPORT gives more aggressive P delivery and EB, with low HSTC intervention RAIN transmits low engine power delivery and braking, with high HSTC USER offers custom options of low/medium/high between P/EB, low/medium/high/off for HSTC. Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) offers unobtrusive operation and refined control as it manages rear wheel torque thanks to TBW, over three levels: Level 1 allows the minimum intervention for the lightest control over rear wheel spin. Level 2 is the default setting and provides confidence-inspiring traction for general riding conditions. Level 3 provides maximum control for slippery roads and was made smoother in operation for the 25YM update. HSTC can also be switched OFF. Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) Improved starting/ slow-speed response uses same clutch oil pressure estimation update as 24YM Africa Twin Differing shifting schedules link with riding modes USER mode allows choice of settings from smooth to aggressive Hondas DCT technology is now in its 17th year of production, and almost 280,000 units of DCT-equipped Honda two-wheelers have been sold in Europe since 2010. It delivers consistent, seamless gear changes up or down and very quickly becomes second nature in use. It uses two clutches: one for start-up and 1st, 3rd and 5th, the other for 2nd, 4th and 6th, with the mainshaft for each clutch located inside the other for compact packaging. Each clutch is independently controlled by its own electro-hydraulic circuit. When a gear change occurs, the system pre-selects the target gear using the clutch not currently in use. The first clutch is then electronically disengaged as, simultaneously, the second clutch engages. The 25YM update allowed smoother starting from standstill and control at low speed under 10km/h for U-turns. This required a quick yet gentle driving force at small throttle openings. Surpassing the operating parameters of the previous generation DCT the latest iteration now estimates the oil pressure of the clutch piston chamber and completely reviews the way feedback gain is applied rather than just relying on an oil pressure sensor upstream of the clutch piston resulting in improved, more delicate clutch response. Alongside a refinement to the way TBW now opens from closed, the DCT also features a dedicated setting for extremely low speed running. Consistent, fast and seamless gear changes are always on offer. Furthermore, as the twin clutches transfer drive from one gear to the next with minimal interruption of the drive to the rear wheel, any gear change shock and pitching of the machine is minimised, making the change feel direct as well as smooth. Extra benefits include durability (as the gears cannot be damaged by missing a gear) impossibility of stalling, low stress urban riding, reduced rider fatigue and crucially the ability to concentrate more on riding lines, braking and acceleration points. The DCT system offers two distinct riding approaches Automatic Transmission (AT), with pre-programmed shift patterns which constantly read vehicle speed, gear selected and engine rpm to decide when a shift should occur, and Manual Transmission (MT), for gear changes using the paddle-shift style triggers on the left handlebar. Through TBW control there are four Automatic shifting schedules available. Level 1 is the most relaxed, with upshifts and downshifts operating at relatively lower rpm; it is linked with the RAIN riding mode. Level 4, on the other extreme, shifts up at higher rpm and also downshifts earlier for more engine braking effect; it is linked with the SPORT mode. Level 2 is linked with STANDARD riding mode, with Level 3 situated between STANDARD and SPORT. The USER mode functionality allows the rider to select any of the DCT shift patterns with the preferred permutations of the other parameters Power delivery, Engine Braking and HSTC. Chassis Tubular steel diamond frame, 41mm USD fork, Pro-Link suspension and aluminium swingarm Radial mount four-piston front brake calipers, 310mm discs and ABS 3by3 17-inch front and 15-inch rear cast wheel combination For core strength the Forza 750 uses a rugged tubular steel diamond frame, which neatly packages all ancillaries and gives ample space for the under-seat storage area. Rake and trail are set at 27/104mm with wheelbase of 1580mm. Overall wet weight is 236kg. The spring preload adjustable rear shock is a single tube split pressure design and operates the aluminium swingarm constructed from a machined-hollow cross member and U-shaped (in cross section) arms through Pro-Link. 3by3 17-inch front and 15-inch rear cast aluminium wheels deliver confident handling and stability, whilst looking stylish, and are wrapped in 120/70 R17 and 160/60 R15 tyres front and rear.

Designed to perform, built to thrill, the GSX-R1000R gets an updated engine to meet Euro5+ regulations whilst maintaining high levels of performance output. Changes include a new crankshaft, crankcases, pistons, connecting rods, and a higher compression ratio. Theres also a new exhaust, an updated suite of electronics, and winglets that increase downforce at higher speeds. Despite a number of changes made to satisfy the latest emissions standards, the updates to the engine also enhance the GSX-R1000Rs performance potential, making it capable of withstanding the tuning required to compete successfully in premier class endurance, superbike, and superstock racing competitions. The announcement comes ahead of the prestigious Suzuka 8-Hour endurance race in Japan and the third round of the 2025 FIM Endurance World Championship, a championship that the GSX-R1000 has won 15 times since 2001. The announcement also comes as part of this years 40th anniversary celebrations of the GSX-R range, when the GSX-R750F changed the world of sportsbikes forever in 1985. As a result, the GSX-R1000R will come in a trio of colour schemes inspired by classic GSX-R liveries of the past, each adorned with a 40th anniversary logo on the fairing and fuel tank. Engine The GSX-R1000Rs 1000cc, inline four-cylinder engine still uses Suzukis MotoGP-developed variable valve timing system. Developed on the firms GSX-RR prototype racer, which won the 2020 MotoGP world championship, the mechanical system is built into the intake cam sprocket and an adjacent guide plate. It uses 12 steel balls and slanted grooves to rotate the sprocket and retard the intake valve timing at a pre-set rpm, boosting high-rpm power without sacrificing midrange and lower-rpm output. It also retains a finger follower valve train, though the shape of the fingers on both the intake and exhaust sides were changed and optimised to match the new cam profile. In addition, the exhaust valve diameter was changed from 24mm to 25mm, plus there are new camshafts and a wider cam chain. Maximum valve lift remains the same, with reduced overlap to help meet emissions targets. Theres a new fuel pump to increase fuel pressure, and changes to the fuel injectors, with the secondary top feed injector changing from 10 to eight holes to contribute to cleaner emissions. To help maintain power output, new throttle bodies boast a larger bore; up to 48mm from 46mm, while air delivered to the throttle bodies travels through newly designed single-stage funnels, further boosting peak power. New, forged aluminium pistons have short skirts, cutaway sides and a short, DLC-coated wrist pin to reduce friction. The piston heads were reshaped to increase the compression ratio to 13.8:1 and accommodate the size of the increased exhaust valve diameter. The new pistons contribute to power output, reduced vibration, and durability. The connecting rods are chrome-molybdenum steel with a carburised surface treatment to increase strength and are designed to enhance reliability when under higher levels of tune for racing. The crankshaft adopts a new design with thicker journals, increased from 35mm to 37mm, designed to accommodate higher loads and withstand higher levels of tune in racing environments, plus new crankcases were designed in conjunction with the new crankshaft. As well as being highly attractive and etched with a GSX-R logo, the new exhaust silencer body is more compact, reducing its capacity from 8.3 to 5.5 liters. A larger capacity elliptical catalytic converter in the collector is positioned closer to the engine to facilitate quicker warming, which helps improve its performance. Peak power is 195PS at 13,200rpm, with peak torque 110.0Nm at 11,000rpm. Chassis The new GSX-R1000R uses the same lightweight twin-spar aluminium frame, subframe, and braced aluminium swingarm as the previous version. Suspension comes courtesy of Showa, with its balance free front forks at the front, and a balance free rear shock at the rear, and theres an electronically-controlled steering damper. At the front, brakes are Brembo monoblock calipers, biting 320mm discs. At the rear sits a single caliper and 220m disc. Theres also a new ABS unit that saves 51 grams over the previous version GSX-R1000R. Lightweight cast aluminium wheels wear Bridgestone BATTLAX RACING STREET RS11 tyres: 120/70ZR17M/ at the front, 190/55ZR17M/C at the rear. Developed in conjunction with the Suzuki CN Challenge race team, which contested the 2024 Suzuka 8-Hour with an experimental GSX-R1000R, new winglets provide increased downforce at higher speeds, aiding stability and reducing wheelie. Produced in Japan, they are made of dry carbon with a hollow structure, and the size and shape of the winglets were developed through a long process of experimental builds and thorough test runs to achieve the optimum effect without making handling feel heavy. Electronics An updated suite of electronics further enhances the GSX-R1000Rs performance potential and allows riders to tailor its character to suit their preferences or riding conditions. Armed with a six direction IMU, the GSX-R1000R gets an updated traction control system that incorporates Suzukis new Roll Torque Control and anti-wheelie, with 10 modes to choose from plus the ability to disengage entirely. Suzukis Roll Torque Control uses data from the IMU and wheel speed sensors to calculate the bikes lean angle and speed to predetermine what level of power output is optimal. It works in conjunction with the traction control to deliver a sense of stability through the corner. Its benefit is that it works to prevent wheel spin, rather than activate when slip is detected, making for more seamless acceleration and the reduced cutting of power and pumping. Theres a ride-by-wire throttle, bi-directional quickshifter, lean angle-sensitive ABS and slope-dependent control, launch control, low RPM assist, and Suzukis easy start function. A new Li-ion HY battEliiy P-series starter battery is more compact and lightweight, and is designed with a focus on exceptional reliability, durability, enhanced startability, and an extended lifespan. Headlights, positioning lights, and taillights are full LED. Styling Three new colour schemes pay homage to classic GSX-R liveries of old, with a classic blue and white take joined by a red and white version and a yellow and matt blue option. Each features a 40th anniversary decal on the fairing and the fuel tank. A retro R logo adorns the bellypan of all three. There are also GSX-R logos on the seat and exhaust silencer, and the magneto and clutch covers are finished in grey. Pricing and availability The GSX-R1000R will arrive in UK dealerships in the spring of 2026, with pricing to be announced in due course. It will be on display at MCL at the NEC in November.

Tue, 08 Jul 2025 00:00:00 BST https://www.suttonmotorcycles.com/triumph/news/suzuki-launches-new-retro-modelsgsx-8t-and-gsx-8tt Suzuki has launched two brand-new models on its award-winning 800cc platform, with the GSX-8T and GSX-8TT combining retro spirit with next generation performance. The 8T takes styling cues from classic bikes of the 1960s and 1970s, such as the iconic Suzuki T500, while the 8TT builds on that platform further but with inspiration coming from the faired race bikes of the period, such as the legendary Yoshimura GS1000 AMA superbike. Both models use Suzukis 776cc parallel twin engine with its 270 crankshaft design, which gives it unrivalled drive and lowdown power, while double overhead cams and four valves per cylinder enable a free-revving nature. The engine is housed in a twin-spar steel frame with a separate lightweight subframe. An electronics suite comprises traction control, power modes, a bi-directional quickshifter, and colour TFT screen. Both the 8T and 8TT get a new fuel tank, seat, seat unit, and handlebars complete with bar-end mirrors. The 8T adopts a new round headlight with full LED lighting, blending modern technology with classic styling. The 8TT adds a headlight cowling that shares more than a passing resemblance to vintage road race machinery from the 70s and 80s. Design The 8T and 8TTs design brief was to produce two machines that embody the retro spirit of Suzukis heritage and iconic models of past decades. Drawn by designers in Italy and further sculpted in Japan, both models use a new 16.5-litre fuel tank, which connects each side to new radiator shrouds brushed silver on the 8T and black on the 8TT adorned with the circular GSX8 logo. The 8T evokes the charm of classic bikes, and a new circular headlight design with a flat bottom section is further reminiscent of motorcycles of the 70s and 80s, though it is full-LED with a bright, horizontal LED strip across the middle. Inspired by classic road race machines, the 8TT retains the same headlight unit as its 8T stablemate but wraps it in a cowling that bears a striking resemblance to the GS1000S of the late 1970s. It is fitted with a screen that further completes the look, as well as providing the functional benefit of added weather protection. New circular bar-end mirrors ensure a sleek and low profile. Their design was refined to ensure visual harmony with the overall silhouette, and special attention was paid to detail, including hand-polishing the parting lines and gate marks of the aluminium die-cast stays. The mirrors offer excellent rearward visibility by minimising interference from the riders body. Underneath the 776cc parallel twin engine, the 8TT also adopts a lower cowling, further enhancing its racier aesthetic. A new seat, inspired by the tuck-and-roll seats of the 1960s and 70s slots onto the top of the subframe of the 8T. It features high-density foam cushioning for enhanced comfort and a premium riding experience. Additionally, the shape of the seat front improves ease of mounting and dismounting and provides excellent foot reach. On the 8TT the seat still ensures a comfortable ride but is finished with a flatter top more reminiscent of race bike seats. With a matt finish to its black seat unit, brushed radiator shrouds, gold forks, and black wheels, the GSX-8T will be available with a Candy Burnt Gold, Metallic Matt Steel Green, or Metallic Matt Black fuel tank. The 8TT adds more pops of colour and retro racing flair thanks to striped decals on its tank and cowling, with matching wheels. A Glass Sparkle Black variant is offset by red wheels and red and gold decals, while a Pearl Matt Shadow Green version is completed with gold wheels and gold and bronze stripes. Engine While retro spirit comes from the styling of the 8T and 8TT, next generation performance is delivered by Suzukis award-winning 776cc parallel twin engine; widely praised for its drive from the bottom end and through its midrange, making it a useable, flexible, and fun powerplant. This character and punchy performance is enhanced by a 270 crankshaft design, helping fire the 8T and 8TT from corner to corner. Peak torque is 78Nm at 6800rpm, and peak power comes in at 82.9PS at 8500rpm. A cross balancer reduces vibrations and aids in the motors compact design, and a short exhaust muffler keeps the bikes side profile clean and compact while still providing an exciting exhaust note. Chassis Both models use the same steel frame and subframe, and aluminium swingarm. They are suspended by upside down KYB forks gold on the 8T and black on the 8TT and a KYB rear shock. Wide, tapered aluminium handlebars provide an engaging and comfortable riding position, offering plenty of leverage for steering input. Stopping power comes via twin 310mm discs up front with radially-mounted Nissin calipers, and a 240mm disc at the rear. Electronics Sat atop the retro headlight is a fully-modern colour TFT screen, displaying all the information the rider needs, including rev counter, speedo, and gear position indicator, as well as the selected traction control setting with three available to choose from, plus off and the chosen power mode from A, B, or C. Making for slick gear changes is a bi-directional quickshifter as standard, plus Suzukis easy-start and low RPM assist systems. Both models also come with a USB Type-C socket as standard, which also supports fast charging. Developed by Eliiy Power using advanced energy storage technology, a new, compact, lightweight battery offers reliability, durability, enhanced startability, and long life with minimal self-discharge. Pricing and availability The GSX-8T and GSX-8TT will come with an OTR price of 9,599 and 9,999 respectively and will be arriving in dealerships in the coming weeks. Both come with Suzukis standard three-year warranty plus up to seven-years extended warranty, activated by regular servicing at an authorised Suzuki dealership.

Mon, 02 Jun 2025 00:00:00 BST https://www.suttonmotorcycles.com/triumph/news/absolute-focus-absolute-precision-absolute-controlnew-limited-edition-speed-triple-1200-rx Limited to just 1200 motorcycles worldwide Fully focused riding position with more aggressive, sportier ergonomics Enhanced electronic control, with state-of-the-art hlins electronic suspension and premium SD EC steering damper Akrapovi silencer with lightweight titanium body fitted as standard 1160cc triple engine delivers 183PS at 10,750 rpm and 128Nm at 8,750 rpm Even sportier styling with carbon fibre bodywork, exclusive RX graphics and a striking Triumph Performance Yellow paint scheme Triumph Motorcycles has unveiled an exclusive new Speed Triple 1200 RX for 2025, limited to just 1200 motorcycles worldwide. With a fully focused riding position delivered by more aggressive, sportier ergonomics, the new Speed Triple 1200 RX is the ultimate incarnation of the Speed Triple, with even more of the state-of-the-art electronics and technology that has impressed customers since the launch of the Speed Triple 1200 RS in March. The RX limited edition delivers absolute focus with clip-ons and a machined top yoke, which are 69mm lower and 52mm further forward than the 2025 Speed Triple 1200 RS. Adding to the more focused riding position, the footpegs on the RX are 14.5mm higher and 25.5mm further to the rear than the RS model. Delivering absolute precision and control, the state-of-the-art hlins electronic suspension is enhanced with the hlins SD EC steering damper. The control of the electronic damper is integrated seamlessly with the Ohlins Smart EC3 system to deliver light, agile handling and optimum stability, and it can be adjusted via the hlins Objective Based Tuning Interface on the instruments. The pressurised design of the damper ensures no free-play in the system Fitted as standard only on the RX, the new Akrapovi silencer features a titanium outer wrap and mounting bracket, a carbon fibre endcap and exhaust valve cover, and is finished with a laser etched Akrapovi logo. Enhancing both performance and comfort, an upgraded performance seat enhances rider movement when in the saddle and features an embossed RX logo. The striking look of the RX is created with an exclusive Triumph Performance Yellow and Granite graphic scheme and white RX accents. The race-inspired carbon fibre front mudguard and tank bodywork add to the exclusivity of the design and to add even more impact, there is a Triumph Performance Yellow accent on the rear wheel. Just like the new Speed Triple 1200 RS, the RX delivers unmatched triple power and torque, peerless handling and top of the range rider-focused technology. Triumphs 1160cc triple engine delivers relentless acceleration and performance with 183PS at 10,750 rpm and 128Nm at 8,750 rpm. Thrilling and utterly addictive, the three-cylinder engine delivers the ultimate blend of low-end drive and top-end punch, giving cutting-edge performance on the road and on the track, coupling instant throttle response with an effortlessly smooth power delivery. The revised dynamic crankshaft balancing strategy which made its debut on the RS, provides a significant improvement in engine refinement. The 2025 Speed Triples rider-focused package of equipment and technology puts the rider in control, offering exceptional levels of adjustment. The hlins latest-generation SmartEC3 semi-active suspension includes the cutting-edge hlins Objective Based Tuning Interface (OBTi), which allows riders to easily adjust the suspensions dynamic damping characteristics in different riding scenarios. There is also new independently adjustable Front Wheel Lift Control, Engine Braking Control and Brake Slide Control, as well as fully adjustable cruise control. Brembo Stylema calipers and a Brembo MCS span and ratio adjustable lever offer serious stopping power and a customisable feel, even during the most demanding riding. Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP V3 tyres deliver racetrack performance in a fully street legal tyre. Carefully engineered to be just 199kg ready to ride, the 2025 Speed Triple sports slightly wider bars than earlier iterations, ensuring the perfect balance of agility and control. Combined with a narrow seat profile, the rider can feel an intuitive and effortless connection with the bike, delivering precise handling and real-world comfort. Triumph Motorcycles Chief Commercial Officer Paul Stroud said: The new Speed Triple 1200 RX offers the ultimate riding experience, both on the road and on the track. The extra technology, premium specification and more focused riding position will put this firmly on the wishlist of every track day enthusiast. With just 1200 of these available around the world, customers who secure an early order will really stand out from the crowd." MORE POWERFUL THAN EVER With 183PS at 10,750rpm, the new engine delivers 3PS more than the previous generation of Speed Triple. Torque is improved too, with 128Nm at 8,750rpm, which is not only 3Nm more than the outgoing model but is delivered slightly lower in the rev range. Incorporating learnings and expertise gathered during Triumph's Moto2 engine development, the Speed Triple 1200 engine has been engineered to be more powerful and durable, as well as being compact and lightweight. A new, free-flowing exhaust system and compact, lightweight Akrapovi silencer streamline gas flow and centralise mass to improve performance, while maintaining the Speed Triple's signature triple bark. RAZOR SHARP HANDLING Featuring innovative 'spool valve' technology for even faster adjustment and improved comfort, state-of-the-art hlins SmartEC3 semi-active technology delivers perfectly tailored, precise and dynamic handling. This includes the hlins Objective Based Tuning Interface (OBTi), which continuously monitors and adjusts the suspension damping characteristics. So, whether riding in a straight line, braking for a corner, balancing the bike mid corner, or accelerating out of a corner, it adjusts the damping characteristics to give the desired performance in each scenario. Riders can now customise this performance using an intuitive menu system on the TFT instruments, so the bike continuously monitors and adapts the damping in real time to deliver the optimum performance for the conditions. For the next level of precision and control, the Speed Triple 1200 RX also features an electronically adjustable steering damper, the hlins SD EC, delivering smooth and predictable handling in every situation. The Brembo Stylema calipers combine with a Brembo MCS lever, delivering impeccable stopping performance and a customisable brake feel. Completing the set-up, the Speed Triple 1200 has Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP V3s fitted as standard, which have a bi-compound design for optimised grip, stability and durability. While delivering absolute focus with clip-ons that are 69mm lower and 52mm further forward than the 2025 RS, the RX is compact with bars that are slightly wider than the outgoing RS model, creating a sporty, roadster stance that delivers effortlessly precise handling, and real-world comfort. Where the yokes have been updated to accommodate the wider bars and the addition of the steering damper, the finish of these components has been updated to a sophisticated and understated black tone, creating a contrast with the gold hlins forks. BOLD DESIGN AND AGGRESSIVE STYLING With sharp lines and a purposeful stance, the Speed Triple 1200 has a strikingly handsome silhouette, with a sculpted tank and minimalist rear end that blends seamlessly with the rear light and numberplate hanger. Taking cues from the 30 years of Speed Triple design DNA, the new model retains the signature twin headlights and single sided swingarm, which reinforce the bikes modern and aggressive styling, as well as its serious performance capability. Evolving the design for an even sportier look in 2025, the aluminum twin-spar frame and lightweight new wheels reduce gyroscopic forces for faster turn in and greater agility, making carving through corners effortless, while a new seat cowl sharpens the rear end of the bike. Despite all the extra technology and the electronic suspension, the Speed Triple is still one of the lightest bikes in the class, at just 199kg wet weight with fuel. Contributing to this, is the Speed Triple's lithium-ion battery, which is significantly lighter than a conventional battery. From the bar end mirrors, to the meticulously sculpted swingarm, the attention to detail, build quality, and overall level of finish, are second to none. RIDER-FOCUSED TECHNOLOGY The 2025 updates also bring new performance electronics that are configurable by the rider and adjustable independently of the riding modes. The new front wheel lift control system, which incorporates inputs from the six-axis inertial measurement unit (IMU) to determine the pitch of the bike, offers four levels of adjustment. Engine Braking Control is customisable according to the rider's preference, complementing the adjustable throttle maps and allowing riders to adjust the engine feel to suit their own riding style and the conditions. Brake Slide Assist, which is available in Track mode only, optimises the ABS calibration for track riding by allowing more front wheel slip and more rear wheel lift. This maximises performance on track and minimises feelings of being intrusive, all while providing a safety net in case of unexpected conditions. With five distinct riding modes (Rain, Road, Sport, Track, Rider), Optimised Cornering ABS and switchable Optimised Cornering Traction Control, and the Triumph Shift Assist up and down quickshifter all fitted as standard, the Speed Triple has all the advanced features to maximise performance and safety in all conditions. The design of the 5" TFT instrument interface provides instant access to all key information, controlled by the intuitive 5-way joystick and backlit switches. The standard-fit My Triumph Connectivity System enables turn-by-turn navigation, as well as phone and music control. Theres fully adjustable cruise control for longer rides, and a new Emergency Deceleration Warning feature activates a high-frequency flash of the brake light to alert other road users in case of hard braking and rapid deceleration. The ignition, steering lock and fuel filler cap feature keyless operation on the 2025 Speed Triple 1200. For added security, the wireless function can be disabled with a single button press. ON THE ROAD Available from 18,995 OTR, bikes are now available to order, with delivery expected from June 2025. Tue, 13 May 2025 00:00:00 BST https://www.suttonmotorcycles.com/triumph/news/26ym-honda-cb125f Introduction An entry-level 125cc motorcycle needs to be a multi-faceted machine. To some it represents the most economical way of getting from A to B, both in terms of initial affordability and running costs. To these riders it must be durable, easy to live with and economical: simple, trouble-free transport at its most fundamental. But to many new riders a 125 is the start of their motorcycling adventure, their first real bike. So, it must deliver all the above, plus everything else that a motorcycle should the excitement, freedom and instinctive pleasure that two wheels bring to everyday life. Yet it also must be easy for a novice to manage as they learn, with a build quality and styling that instil tangible pride of ownership. For any manufacturer, welcoming and introducing fresh entrants to their brand is important. The right initial experience can lead to a lifelong association, and the CB125F has long served this function for Honda a tough, user-friendly entry-level motorcycle that offers the perfect first rung on the ladder. The CB125F was a new model name for Honda in 2015; it maintained the previous CBF125s core strength of robust simplicity but built strongly on that strong foundation in terms of quality, ease of use and style. In 2021 the CB125F was renewed once more, with a complete (lighter weight) refresh that made it even more desirable and cost effective. In 24YM it received a light update through a new muffler and pillion grab handle and now, for 26YM, it moves on again with updated styling, revised details and additional tech that owners will appreciate. As ever, the CB125F remains a great bike to simply get you where you need to be, or from where to begin the ride and journey of a lifetime. Model Overview The CB125F is a serious small machine, whose original development involved the filing of no fewer than 19 patent applications. Completely updated in 21YM, it lost 11kg thanks to a new engine, redesigned frame and revised bodywork. For 26YM and expanding on its success the CB125F receives refreshed, sharper styling with a new, premium, headlight signature, plus enhanced specification and everyday usefulness in the form of a full-colour 4.2 TFT display, complete with RoadSync smartphone connectivity and USB-C port conveniently located near the handlebars. Idling Stop technology has been applied and, as before, the air-cooled enhanced Smart Power (eSP) engine offers a user-friendly experience, EURO5+ compliance, and outstanding fuel economy, all while maintaining excellent 125cc performance The 26YM CB125F will be available in the following bold colour options: Imperial Red Metallic Matt Marvel Blue Metallic Matt Axis Gray Metallic Engine Enhanced Smart Power (eSP) engine with ACG starter - now includes Idling Stop technology for even greater fuel economy, plus EURO5+ compliance Low friction technologies include offset cylinder, needle bearings for the roller/rocker arms and piston oil jet Five-speed gearbox and sealed final drive chain Uprated 5Ah battery The CB125Fs air-cooled, 124cc 2-valve SOHC single-cylinder eSP engine has been engineered from its inception to maintain optimum performance for busy urban streets but with extra, serious frugality and supreme reliability. Peak power of 8kW is delivered @ 7,500rpm, with peak torque of 10.9Nm @ 6,000rpm. Bore and stroke is set at 50 x 63.1mm, with a compression ratio of 10.0:1. This results in standing start acceleration over 200m of 12.4s, but more importantly, the fuel efficiency is 66.7km/l, giving a potential range of over 730km from the 11L fuel tank. Honda has developed its eSP engines and the engineering that goes into them on a growing range of 125cc scooters over the last 8 years. The focus is around building in, from a clean sheet, low-friction technology to every facet of the engine. And it starts with weight; the 2021 upgrade reduced the weight of the eSP engine by 7kg. Its cylinder is offset, reducing friction between the piston skirt and bore, while the piston itself is cooled by an oil jet from underneath, again reducing friction. Valve operation is via rocker-roller arms equipped with needle bearings. An Alternating Current Generator (ACG) is also part of the eSP formula and combines electricity generation with starting duties, saving weight while simplifying layout. The effort needed to start the engine is reduced thanks to a swing-back system that returns the crank to its position before air intake giving the engine a running start and a decompression mechanism that negates cranking resistance due to compression. In use the ACG starter is extremely quiet. Idling Stop technology as found on the Vision 110, SH125i and PCX125 scooters is a benefit of the ACG system and a 26YM addition; its also the first on a Honda with a standard manual transmission. The system switches off the engine at standstill, operates (in any gear) to seamlessly restart it as the clutch is let out, and can be turned off if desired. A new 02 sensor plus updated ECU settings ensures EURO5+ compliance while an uprated battery, from 4Ah to 5Ah, ensures durable cranking power. Styling & Equipment Comprehensive styling refresh builds big bike appeal New 4.2-inch colour TFT screen features Honda RoadSync connectivity USB-C charging socket New LED front and rear lights Passenger grab rail and centre stand standard fit The 26YM CB125F wears updated, sophisticated styling to deliver the owner even more of that big bike style. Building on what went before, the broad-shouldered fuel tank takes its cue from other models in the CB family with added dynamicism in its taut lines backed up by a revised large mass rear seat cowl while the refreshed nose fairing and blacked-out fly screen are more compact and stylish yet still provide ample wind deflection, alongside the tank side shrouds. The all-new headlight unit is an LED item with a unique, distinct and highly visible vertical light signature; the re-shaped taillight is also new LED. The start/stop button is an integrated switch as is the high beam/passing switch. The centrepiece of the new riding experience is a brand new, full colour 4.2-inch TFT display that includes gear position indicator, fuel gauge and clock. It also incorporates Bluetooth, while the smartphone connectivity of Honda RoadSync is also an upgrade. This feature allows straightforward, on-screen turn-by-turn navigation as well as the option (via a Bluetooth helmet headset) for the rider to make calls or listen to music. Owners just need to download the Honda RoadSync app, connect to the CB125F, and they're ready to go. For convenient smartphone charging, a USB-C socket is included. The engine, exhaust downpipe, fork lowers and wheels are blacked out, underlining the strong, defined lines and bold paintwork options. The muffler too, is blacked out and finished in a near full length chrome heat shield. Other quality finishing touches include 3D Honda Wings on the shrouds and mirror/indicator shaping that emulates the design language of the whole machine. With its intended use as an everyday commuter, gateway machine to the world of motorcycling and riding school stalwart the CB125Fs riding position is upright and relaxed, with forward-set footpegs and wide tubular handlebars giving optimum control, rider confidence and all-round visibility. Seat height is set at a manageable 790mm and offers room for two adults comfortably; an aluminium passenger grab rail is also standard, as is a centre stand. The gearbox is 5-speed and final drive is via a 428 sealed chain. Chassis Lightweight tubular steel frame Preload adjustable twin rear shocks 117kg wet weight Confidence-inspiring Combined Braking System (CBS) The CB125Fs tubular frame uses high-tensile steel in its construction. It suspends the engine from a sturdy central spine and features geometry that provides the best balance between ride comfort and straight-line stability, with a focus toward light steering input and sporty feel at all lean angles. Rake and trail are set at 26 and 92mm, with wheelbase of 1,285mm and wet weight is only 117kg. Dual rear shocks offer five-stage spring preload adjustment and complement the 30mm diameter telescopic forks compliance and ride quality; stylish 18-inch die-cast aluminium split-five-spoke front and rear wheels increase stability and ride quality over rough city streets. Tyres are sized 80/100 front and 100/80 rear. A 240mm front disc is worked by a single piston caliper, with back up from the 130mm rear drum. Aiding new and less experienced riders is the confidence-inspiring Combined Braking System (CBS), which applies some braking force to the front disc when using the rear brake, for more balanced and stable low-speed control.

The bold new Trident 660 Triple Tribute Edition is equipped with the Tridents latest rider-focused upgrades, including a Sport riding mode delivering a sharper throttle response for a more exhilarating ride, and Optimised Cornering ABS and Traction Control. The Triumph Shift Assist provides smooth, clutchless gear changes up and down. The new Special Edition retains its racing-inspired looks, paying tribute to Triumphs legendary five-time Isle of Man TT-winning Slippery Sam, but this time with an even more modern graphic scheme. Its sleek sapphire black bodywork provides a deep, glossy black finish which forms the base of this special edition, bringing a stealthy new look to the Trident Triple Tribute. This is contrasted with bold Cobalt Blue and Diablo Red highlights, which sweep across the tank, tail and front end. The 67 race number graphic on the tank once again gives a stylish nod to the most famous Trident in history. The striking Diablo red wheels give the Trident Triple Tribute unmistakable presence, while the compact, aerodynamic flyscreen screen in Sapphire Black with matching Triple Tribute graphic detail, enhances the front-end silhouette. Completing the modern new look, a sculpted aluminium belly pan is also fitted as standard for a clean, aggressive lower profile and extra road presence. This striking scheme channels Triumphs racing heritage and gives the Trident Triple Tribute unmistakable character. Paul Stroud, Chief Commercial Officer, Triumph Motorcycles said: This middle-weight roadster continues to be incredibly popular in a highly competitive category, winning new fans with every new update. Following the launch of the latest generation Trident in September, and the global success of the Trident Triple Tribute special edition in 2024, we were keen to meet the demands of our customers for an updated Trident Triple Tribute this year. The striking styling and exceptional finish is sure to turn heads, while the triple engine performance, and rider-focused technology will turn even a daily commute into a thrilling ride. TRIPLE-CYLINDER PERFORMANCE Featuring a dedicated Trident tune, the Trident 660s triple engine is fully Euro 5+ compliant, giving 81 PS peak power @ 10,250 rpm and 64 Nm peak torque @ 6,250 rpm, for smooth, responsive performance across the rev range. The linear torque curve and ride-by-wire throttle make the power delivery intuitive and exciting, whether navigating city traffic or flowing through open corners. With advanced engine mapping, the 660 responds instantly to rider input, while low-inertia internals help the engine spin freely, adding to the bikes playful nature. A distinctive deep triple soundtrack is provided via a compact and minimal single sided silencer, with a premium stainless-steel finisher. An accessory fit A2 conversion kit is available in Europe, including the A2-specific APS twist grip and a unique engine tune, which restricts peak power to 47 PS, or 35kW, and peak torque to 59 Nm. The bike can be de-restricted at the dealership, once the rider has completed their full licence. The Tridents smooth six-speed gearbox, with gear ratios and final drive that are optimised to make the riding experience easy and fun, is further enhanced by the addition of the Triumph Shift Assist up and down quickshifter, included as standard for this special edition. PRECISE AND AGILE HANDLING Lightweight and balanced, the Tridents tubular steel chassis and high specification suspension gives riders confidence and control, whether commuting or enjoying weekend rides. The Showa 41mm Separate Function Big Piston upside-down forks and a preload-adjustable monoshock RSU are tuned for the road, delivering precise front-end feel and stable, composed handling. Trusted grip in all conditions comes courtesy of high-performance Michelin Road 5 tyres for confidence in the wet and dry, while twin Nissin two-piston front callipers with 310mm discs provide smooth, progressive stopping power to match the Tridents exciting performance. RIDER-FOCUSED TECHNOLOGY New for 2025, the Optimised Cornering ABS uses Internal Measurement Unit (IMU) inputs to adjust braking parameters while leaned over, delivering confident control in corners, while the new Optimised Traction Control adjusts power based on lean angle and surface grip to maintain control, with rider-selectable modes. The new Trident 660 also features Cruise Control as standard for the first time, adding comfort on longer journeys, while more urban riding is made easier by the Triumph Shift Assist, which enables smooth, clutchless gear changes up and down. With three riding modes, Road, Rain, and now Sport, the throttle response and traction settings can be tailored to match the road conditions or the style of ride. These Riding modes are accessed easily via the intuitive, full colour TFT screen and handlebar controls, which also support the My Triumph Connectivity System, fitted as standard to enable riders to integrate their phone, music and turn-by-turn navigation. The Trident 660 provides all LED-lighting (market-specific), and for enhanced security, an engine immobiliser is built into the key. CONFIDENCE-INSPIRING BY DESIGN An upright, neutral riding position and sculpted seat help make the Trident feel instantly familiar. The low 805mm seat height and a low wet weight of 190kg helps riders of all sizes feel planted and in control. Lightweight and easy to manoeuvre at low speeds for new riders to feel confident, the Trident is a natural first big bike or an agile everyday option. With a slim tank, wide bars and light clutch action, everything about the Trident is designed to reduce fatigue and increase riding enjoyment. MAKE THE TRIDENT TRIPLE TRIBUTE YOUR OWN The Trident Triple Tribute can be tailored with a range of 32 accessories, including protection and care, technology, style & detailing, comfort & practicality, and security. Protection includes rubber tank pad, moulded frame and engine cover protectors, and CNC machined fork protectors, as well as a Muc-Off cleaning kit, all weather cover, and battery charger. With the technology accessories, customers can add a convenient under seat USB charging socket, stylish minimal scrolling LED indicators, and a tyre pressure monitoring system. Designed specifically for the Trident, customers can add a set of water-resistant luggage, with quick release tank bag and tail pack. Billet machined bar end mirrors, and parts to add to the detailing. The Trident is also pre-prepared to be able to be fitted with the internally wired heated grips, which include a neatly integrated button, and the ergonomically shaped pillion grab handles. To add extra security, the range includes Triumph Protect+ alarm*, Triumph Track+ tracker with 24/7 monitoring*, and garage security including U-lock, disc lock, disk lock alarm, ground anchor, chain and lock. Designed hand-in-hand with our motorcycles and manufactured to the same exacting standards, all Triumph accessories have the same two-year unlimited mileage warranty as the bikes themselves. ON THE ROAD The new Trident Triple Tribute will be available from 8,045 OTR, with a class-leading service interval of 10,000 miles (or 12 months, whichever comes sooner) which contributes to the incredibly low cost of ownership.Bikes will be arriving from June 2025.

Identical in every other way to the current Tiger 900 GT Pro, which set a new benchmark in road-focused adventure when it launched in 2024, this A2 compliant variant has a revised engine tune that delivers 95PS peak power. An accessory restrictor kit can be fitted to reduce the power output to 46PS (35kW), meeting A2 licence requirements. Once the rider has gained their full A licence, the restrictor kit can be easily removed by a Triumph dealer to restore the bike to its unrestricted 95PS power. The Tiger 900 GT Pro has always had a broad appeal, combining all-road capability and comfort with distinctive Tiger attitude, said Triumphs Chief Commercial Officer Paul Stroud. Increasing numbers of new and younger riders aspire to adventure riding, with plans to take their bike on tour and discover new places, so this addition to our A2 compliant range will make that possible. For A2 licence holders across UK & Europe looking for a bike that can handle both the commute and the weekend adventures, this new Tiger 900 GT Pro variant, will be ideal. The current Tiger 900 GT Pro first arrived in dealerships in 2024, delivering a significant step-up in performance, capability and all-day comfort, with an aggressive style and poise. TRADEMARK ENGINE AND T PLANE CRANK The Tiger 900s trademark three-cylinder engine has a new tune for this variant, giving 95PS of peak power as well as good tractability lower in the rev range. With its T-plane crank and offset firing intervals, the Tiger 900 maintains its characterful and distinctive performance and sound, as well as achieving enhanced performance throughout the whole rev range. On the road the Tiger 900 GT Pro is agile and easy to ride at low speeds, but with plenty of performance for rapid bursts of acceleration and effortless high-speed touring. EXCEPTIONALLY CAPABLE CHASSIS Featuring premium MarzocchiTM suspension tuned for maximum all-road capability, the GT Pro is fitted with 45mm USD fully adjustable cartridge forks. The rear suspension unit has electronically adjustable preload and rebound damping, which allows for easy and convenient preload adjustments at the touch of a button to suit riders travelling solo, with a pillion or fully loaded. With 180mm of fork travel and 170mm of rear wheel travel, the set-up has been tuned specifically for the GT to deliver excellent road handling and long-ride comfort. RIDER-FOCUSED TECHNOLOGY The Tiger 900 GT Pro A2 variant has a comprehensive range of active safety features, including an emergency deceleration warning system, which activates the rapid flashing of the rear light when braking rapidly and automatically deactivates when pulling away. Optimised cornering ABS and Traction Control comes as standard, with a ride-by-wire throttle so the level of assistance can be altered with five different standard riding modes Road, Rain, Sport, Off-Road and Rider Configurable. The Triumph Shift Assist allows clutch-less gear changes both up and down the gearbox for seamless acceleration and super-smooth deceleration, reducing rider fatigue, especially for congested urban riding conditions. A Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) is also standard on the GT Pro model. The My Triumph Connectivity System also comes as standard, so customers can access music, phone and turn by turn navigation via an intuitive and easy-to-read 7 TFT display which is bonded to the glass for a crisp, non-reflective image. ENHANCED ERGONOMICS Ensuring all-day comfort, whether commuting or touring, the Tiger 900 GT Pro includes a damped handlebar mounting system, heated grips and a heated rider seat, with 20mm adjustability on the seat height. An accessory heated low rider seat is also available which reduces the seat height by a further 20mm. This means the GT Pro A2 variant has a potential seat height as low as 800mm, which combined with the narrow stand over width, improves accessibility. The GT Pro also features a 20-litre fuel tank and manually adjustable flyscreen with five settings spanning 50mm, ensuring all riders can enjoy excellent high-speed wind protection. 50+ ACCESSORIES More than 50 accessories and four accessory kits are available for the Tiger 900 GT Pro. The fully loaded Protection Pack showcases key practical accessories, lower and upper engine bar kits, tank pad, sump guard, fork protectors, radiator guard and for off-road, a headlight guard kit. The Trekker and Expedition packs provide two distinct, tailored luggage options for extended touring or off-road adventures. ON THE ROAD The Tiger 900 GT Pro A2 variant will be available from July 2025 in two premium colour schemes; Graphite and Sapphire Black, and Carnival Red and Sapphire Black. The new model starts at 14,095 (including premium colour) OTR, with an additional cost charged for the A2 licence restrictor kit and fitting.

Euro 5+ Compliance: The addition of an O2 sensor and updated ECU settings ensures the Gold Wing meets the latest environmental standards without compromising performance. An Iconic Legacy Since its inception, the Gold Wing has been synonymous with long-distance touring excellence. The 1975 GL1000 Gold Wing revolutionised motorcycle travel with its innovative 999cc liquid-cooled engine and unmatched reliability. Over the decades, each new model has introduced groundbreaking features, from factory-fitted panniers and air-assisted suspension to the worlds first motorcycle airbag in 2006. This storied history culminates in the 25YM models, which continue to set the standard for comfort, performance, and style. With the 50th Anniversary editions, riders can celebrate this rich heritage while enjoying cutting-edge advancements. Gold Wing Timeline 1972: The beginning A new design team was assembled under Soichiro Irimajiri, who headed up the design of Hondas five-cylinder and six-cylinder road racing engines in the 1960s. Their brief is to explore the outer limits of the Grand Touring concept. How refined and luxurious can a motorcycle be when it is designed from the outset as a machine for covering big distances? The team creates the top-secret M1 prototype. Powered by a liquid-cooled, horizontally opposed six-cylinder engine with shaft final drive features that will subsequently find their way onto the production Gold Wing as it evolves the M1 blends superb performance with unrivalled refinement. 1975: GL1000 Gold Wing The first production Gold Wing is a revolution, opening up new possibilities for long-distance motorcycle travel. With world-class power from its unique 999cm3 liquid-cooled horizontally opposed four-cylinder engine, the GL1000 Gold Wing combines peerless cross-country speed with a level of refinement never before experienced on two wheels. Gold Wing customers redefine touring, riding further and faster than had been possible before, confident in a machine that from the very beginning enjoyed a legendary reputation for complete reliability. In 1976 Honda celebrates the Gold Wings success with the stunning Gold Wing Limited Edition model, and in 1979 the first Honda of America manufacturing plant opens, reflecting the fact that 80 percent of Gold Wing production is being exported to the United States. 1980: GL1100 Gold Wing & GL1100 Gold Wing Interstate Where the GL1000 defied categorisation with its blend of superbike power and touring comfort, the GL1100 released after five years of intensive consumer-led development firmly establishes the Gold Wing as a Grand Tourer par excellence. The larger 1085cm3 engine is developed for torque rather than power, while a longer wheelbase offers increased stability and more room for the rider and passenger. The air-assisted suspension sets new standards for motorcycle ride quality. At the same time the GL1100 Interstate introduces the idea of turn-key touring, with its factory-fitted fairing, panniers and top box. 1982: GL1100 Gold Wing Aspencade The most luxurious Gold Wing to date offers an unparalleled range of standard features, from LCD instrumentation and a CB radio to an onboard air compressor. 1985: GL1200 Limited Edition The Gold Wings market position is underlined by the discontinuation of the standard, unfaired GL1200 and the introduction of the GL1200 Limited Edition, complete with computerised fuel injection, a four-speaker sound system, cruise control, auto-levelling rear suspension, a travel computer and metallic gold paint. 1988: GL1500 Gold Wing The brief is exacting in the extreme: the new Gold Wing has to be quieter, smoother, faster, more comfortable and even better in the corners. The GL1500 development team evaluates 15 different machines in 60 prototype stages. The result is a six-cylinder luxury tourer so accomplished that it establishes a benchmark that goes on to dominate motorcycling for more than a decade. 2001: GL1800 Gold Wing A full eight years in development, the GL1800 model takes the Gold Wing to previously unimaginable heights. Steered by Masanori Aoki, whose CV includes the CBR250RR, the CBR400RR and the much-lauded CBR600F3, the Gold Wing becomes a dynamic sensation. In Aoki-sans words: "My job is to add more fun factor, to build a Gold Wing with the kind of acceleration and handling people normally associate with sporting machines." Alternative engines are tested but ultimately rejected and in 2001 the GL1800 is launched. The bikes horizontally opposed six-cylinder engine is mounted in a box-section aluminium frame for superb road holding, handling and stability. In the course of the bikes development no less than 20 technological innovations are patented. 2006: Industry-first airbag The 2006 model introduced initially in the USA featured the worlds first airbag on a production motorcycle, as well as revised taillights and instrument panel. 2011: New styling The Gold Wing receives a new look under the styling concept of majestic aggression. The vitality and excitement of the bikes handling and performance are reflected in looks that are at once elegant, imposing and dynamic. Luggage capacity is increased to 150 litres and a new six-speaker audio system offers multiple connectivity options. 2013: Gold Wing F6B The custom-styled Valkyrie (1996-2003) and unique, limited edition Rune (2003) - both sold in the USA - had used the Gold Wing engine. In 2013, the Gold Wing family gains a true second member with the stripped-out, long and low Gold Wing F6B: a unique custom-touring motorcycle with Bagger styling, big on excitement and flair. 2014: Gold Wing F6C A third machine takes the Gold Wing name.

Since its reintroduction in 2023, the ST125 Dax has won over reviewers and customers alike with its sympathetic update of the 60s original. The preservation of the Daxs spirit continues into 25YM, with the iconic T-shaped frame, tall handlebars, and the small yet chunky 12-inch wheels retained. Changes are limited to an uprated catalyser, new ECU settings and an additional OBD2-2 sensor to ensure Euro5+ emissions compliance, whilst Pearl Shining Black joins the Daxs colour palette options alongside the retained Pearl Cadet Grey and Pearl Glittering Blue choices. Its 125cc pocket-sized sibling, the Z125 Monkey, also sees similar revisions for 25YM. Minor changes to the engine ensure future emissions compliance without impeding performance or efficiency. An all-new colour line-up sees three new colour combinations adorn the iconic pocket bike. Sheen Silver Metallic and Pearl Shining Black, Millenium Red and Pearl Himalayas White, and Turmeric Yellow and Knight Silver Metallic are the 25YM options each injecting a unique character into the bike. Ensuring it continues its legacy as the most produced vehicle ever, the same Euro5+ compliance revisions have also been applied to the Super Cub C125. The iconic silhouette is emphasised for 25YM through a revised sole colour option of Pearl Bosphorus Blue over Pearl Sugarcane Beige, complemented by a contrasting red leather seat. The changes bring Hondas entire two-wheeled line-up in line with the latest and most stringent European emissions regulations, ensuring the pint-sized icons will continue to bring joy to European riders for years to come. Additionally, for the first time in their illustrious histories, all three models have fallen under the responsibility of one Large Project Leader (LPL) - Takashi Yagi. Working for Honda for almost three decades, Yagi-san has a wealth of experience and knowledge, and this Q&A gives some insight into his outlook on working on such evocative model names. Icons series Q/ The Super Cub is the biggest selling motorised vehicle in history, and was first produced in 1958. The Monkey was first made in 1961; and the Dax has a history going back to 1969. How does it feel to be given the task of updating such famous names? A/ I was very nervous to be in charge of such historic model names in the Honda line-up, but also delighted at the same to be working on these leisure-focussed models. Q/ This is the first time a single engineer has been in charge of all three of these icons. Why were you chosen to lead all of these projects? A/ I like the Cub engine! I would like to say it was that, but I think the main reason is that I have worked in Thailand, the country where these models are produced. Q/ Having spent time in Thailand, which is a huge motorcycling culture and has seen a big interest in customisation how does that time influence your attitude to these models? A/ My experience in Thailand was that I was able to see first-hand how closely motorbikes are connected to the lives of many people. They not only transported their families to school and work, but also carried tools of their trade, some even converted their entire motorbikes into mobile food stalls, or converted them into tools for expressing themselves and showing them off to each other. Q/ What are the main changes on the three 25YM models? A/ The main developments are to comply with Euro 5+ OBD2-2 regulations, to offer new body colours and, at the same time, to simultaneously develop accessories for the peace of mind that genuine Honda accessories can offer. Q/ Would you say there is a common element across all three models that makes them attractive? A/ All of the models are born out of Honda's universal identity of getting close to the customer, a style that has been passed down through the years, which has been redefined by combining it current technology. The Monkey features an exclusively designed fuel tank, a comfortable seat, circular headlights, tail lights and blinkers. The traditional Monkey style has been recreated with chrome parts placed in various parts to make it shine. Dax has also reproduced the press-frame body that combines the styling and frame of the original so that it can use the power and performance of a 125cc engine. It has a simple style with no protruding parts like a normal fuel tank. The Super Cub reproduces the flowing styling of Honda's historic C100 model. Q/ All three are 125cc A1 licence models, but have a very different - and strong - identities compared to other Honda motorcycles and scooters. What would you say is their strongest appeal point to young riders, or young people getting interested in 2 wheels? A/ I think the advantages of these models are the pleasure of owning a small but high-quality looking model, their ease of use, peace of mind and sufficient dynamic performance. Q/ Do you have a personal favourite of the three? And why? A/ The Dax is my favourite because I was responsible for the project from the development stage to mass production as a new model.

Spiritual successors to the popular DR-Z400S and DR-Z400SM models of the noughties, the two fresh 400s use a new twin-spar steel frame with a separate, bolt-on aluminium subframe and aluminium swingarm, housing a new 398cc single-cylinder engine. Theres also an electronics package that includes power modes, switchable ABS, and a sophisticated traction control system with off-road modes. Designed to bring the fun to whatever environment, they promise to make Your World, Your Playground. Engine Powering both the DR-Z4S and DR-Z4SM is a new 398cc, single-cylinder, liquid cooled, DOHC four-stroke engine. The new engine was designed to meet Euro 5B, while maintaining the reputation of robustness and reliability the engine found in the previous generation DR-Z400 was famed for. It provides a smooth, linear power delivery with stronger torque at lower rpm and increased power output to the rev limit, plus improved fuel economy. When compared to the previous DR-Z400 engine, there are changes to almost every aspect, from lightweight titanium intake valves and hollow, sodium-filled exhaust valves to new cam profiles and piston. A new cylinder head is equipped with twin spark plugs, there are new crankcases, and a new slipper clutch with Suzukis Clutch Assist System. Fuelling comes courtesy of a ride-by-wire, 42mm bore, electronic throttle body and a 10-hole fuel injector. Theres a new air box, and a new exhaust. The result is a broader spread of power across the rev range, strong drive yet smooth ride, a direct, linear throttle response, and improved fuel economy. Peak power is 38PS at 8,000rpm, with a peak torque figure of 37Nm at 6,500rpm. Both achieve over 80mpg. Electronics Both models use a package of carefully selected, ride-enhancing electronic aids; the Suzuki Intelligent Ride System. Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (SDMS) means riders can choose from one of three power modes. Each mode reaches the same peak power output, with A the most direct, delivering the full amount of low-down torque available from the 398cc single-cylinder engine. Modes B and C are progressively softer, allowing riders to dial back the initial power delivery to suit in slippery or low grip conditions. There are two standard traction control modes on both, with each also equipped with its own specific G (gravel) mode. G mode aims to maintain maximum off-road performance by allowing a certain amount of wheel spin. G modes level intervention is set slower than for the traction control systems other two standard modes, and the maximum level of intervention is also set lower, too. This provides the right balance between preventing excessive wheel spin on slippery surfaces and minimising power loss on surfaces with traction, making the bike easier to control. On the DR-4S it focuses on enabling riders to enjoy off-road riding with confidence. It does so by adopting an updated version of the system when compared with the application on the V-Strom 1050DE and V-Strom 800DE, by being effective not only on flat surfaces but also on undulating terrain and inclines. On DR-Z4SM it is tailored more towards flat-dirt surfaces, while allowing a little more slip tolerance than on the V-Strom DEs. Allowing more spin lets the rider better tap into the models supermoto character. Further enabling greater control off-road is an ABS system that riders can tailor to their needs and riding conditions. On the DR-Z4S riders can disengage the ABS at the rear, or at the front and rear. On the DR-Z4SM, riders can disengage the rear ABS. Theres also Suzukis easy-start system, which means the engine fires up with one press of the starter button, and theres no need to pull the clutch lever when starting in neutral. All rider information is displayed via a compact LCD dash. Chassis A brand new, twin-spar steel frame was developed for the new DR-Z4S and DR-Z4SM. It is mated to a new aluminium subframe and an aluminium swingarm. Like the engine, it was designed to build on the previous models reputation for precise, agile handling and easy manoeuvrability. The new chassis is rigid, yet supple, meaning it can absorb impact and bumps on rougher terrain, and reduce rider fatigue. Long-travel suspension on both the DR-Z4S and DR-Z4SM comes from KYB, specifically tuned for each models intended application. There is 280mm of front fork travel and 296mm of rear wheel travel on the DR-Z4S, while the DR-Z4SM has 260mm of front suspension travel and 277mm of rear wheel travel. Both have compression and rebound damping adjustment at the front and rear. Theres also preload adjustment on the rear shock. Wheels are wire-spoked on both. The DR-Z4S is fitted with a 21 front and 18 rear, compared to the 17 rims in the DR-Z4SM. IRC GP-410, dual purpose, tubed tyres are standard on the S, while the SM is shod with Dunlop SPORTMAX Q5A tyres. There are disc brakes all round, and the tapered aluminium handlebars are equipped with half-waffle grips which distribute pressure across the palms and make the grips easier to hold, aiding control and greatly reducing rider fatigue. Foot pegs are wide and solid, providing sure-footing and a robustness to withstand impacts off-road. Theres also an aluminium under guard as standard. Ground clearance comes in at a useful 300mm on the DR-Z4S, and 260mm on the DR-Z4SM. Seat heights are 920mm and 890mm and they weigh 151kg and 154kg, respectively. Styling Taking design cues from Suzukis RM-Z range, the new DR-Z4S and DR-Z4SM are designed to emphasise agile performance with a linear connection from front to rear. The focus was on establishing a bold horizontal line along the sides that cuts right from the front fender through to the tail. Ergonomics also played a key role in the new design, and the DR-Z4S and DR-Z4SM are crafted as to not interfere in any way with the rider and their movement. Lighting all-round is LED, from the single assembly headlight, rear combination lights, and indicators. The DR-Z4S is available in Suzukis signature off-road Champion Yellow, and Solid Iron Grey, both with black rims. The DR-Z4SM comes in a new blue/grey colour scheme, dubbed Sky Grey, plus a Solid Special White, equipped with blue rims. The DR-Z decals on each side of the cowling, in front of the engine, are modern and simple. Following the horizontal line along the cowling, these decals feature a colourful gradation below the lettering that reflects the modern image of the DR-Z. A range of accessories is also available, which includes items such as hand guards, a lower seat, and a rear carrier rack. Pricing and availability Pricing for the new DR-Z4S and DR-Z4SM will be confirmed in the New Year, with arrival set for summer, 2025. VIEW DR-Z4S VIEW DR-Z4SM Tue, 05 Nov 2024 00:00:00 GMT https://www.suttonmotorcycles.com/triumph/news/25ym-honda-adv350 Introduction In 2016, when Honda unveiled the X-ADV part big-bore scooter, part adventure motorcycle and clothed in an all-new style of bodywork a rich vein of desire was opened with a bike that Europe didnt know it needed. As an example of genuine innovation, it has few equals in the past decade. Its success has more than justified Hondas decision to break that new ground. Taking this inspiration and injecting it into the scooter market, the ADV350 unveiled for 22YM and manufactured at Honda Italia Industriale mixed the sophistication and practicality of a polished scooter with rugged ADV style design. It was built around the concept of New Urban Adventure and drew direct inspiration from the X-ADV. And it landed just right. The ADV350 is a model that clearly appeals to a broad European demographic (especially younger riders), as over 22,000 units have been sold since its introduction. Now, for 25YM, its time to move up the development curve through thoughtful updates to handling, performance, and tech that owners will appreciate. As ever, the ADV350 is a scooter born ready to explore the city, and beyond. Model Overview With its tough stance the ADV350 already stands out from the homogenous crowd, with rugged angles and block colours that promote the off-road look. The X-ADV is its obvious styling benchmark, which itself takes notes from Hondas CRF series of off-road performance machines. Practicality has not been forgotten; theres room for two full-face helmets under the seat (now with internal light), USB socket in the glovebox and convenience of Smart Key operation. The screen is four stage height-adjustable and a new, five-inch TFT display integrates Honda RoadSync smartphone connectivity with an intuitive four-way toggle control switch. The adventurous styling showcases the ADV350s unique front end, the riding position offers natural control and the chassis - with its tubular steel frame - is tuned to deliver agile steering, feedback and feel. 37mm USD forks, with top/bottom motorcycle style yokes and remote reservoir rear shocks - revised for 25YM to feature spring preload adjustability - bring premium bump-absorption performance. Lightweight 15-inch front/14-inch rear wheels wear 120/70-15 front and 140/70-14 rear block-pattern tubeless tyres, allowing the ADV350 ample grip across all conditions. A 256mm single disc is matched to a 240mm rear. Theres plenty of acceleration on tap, for urban and highway use. With exhaust and ECU updates, the 330cc, enhanced Smart Power+ (eSP+) SOHC four-valve engine delivers peak power of 21.5kW and 31.5Nm torque. Safety is provided in the form of standard Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) and Emergency Stop Signals. For the 25YM updates, auto-cancel indicators are now also standard equipment. The 25YM ADV350 will be available in the following colour options: *NEW* Pearl Nightstar Black *NEW* Mat Ruthenium Silver Metallic *NEW* Hyper Red *NEW* Mat Coal Black Metallic Key Features Styling & Equipment Dual LED headlights lead the adventure style, set high above the front wheel and towards the edge of the body New five-inch TFT display, with four-way toggle switch control and Honda RoadSync functionality Everyday practicality comes in the form of a (now illuminated) under-seat compartment and a four stage height-adjustable screen Emergency Stop Signal (ESS) warns other road users of sudden braking The ADV350s styling gives more than a slight taste of adventure. Dual LED headlights (all lighting is LED) are set high above the front wheel, towards the edge of the body, with the fairing sides cut out to show off the USD forks. Further accentuating the off-road feel, the painted panels are set high on blacked-out lower and rear seat cowl, giving an impression of the higher centre of gravity of machines like the X-ADV and even competition-ready CRFs. A host of detail features are found around the ADV350 to add genuine versatility. The screen adjusts easily with a slide-lock mechanism through four stages and 133mm of travel. In the high position airflow is controlled, travelling around the shoulders to reduce fatigue during longer, higher speed journeys. For city environments where some cooling air is often appreciated, as is open visibility the low position is perfect. Theres plenty of room under the seat 48L in total which means two full-face helmets can tuck neatly away. The compartment can be divided using a separator plate, to suit the owners preference and the new internal light is a useful addition. A USB socket is also found in the front left glove box, for secure smartphone charging. Seat height is an easy-to-manage 795mm. 25YM detail additions focus on increasing the ease of installing Genuine Honda Accessories, with are pre-wiring for the Fog Lights and Attachment Stays for the Floor Pipes now built in. A new five-inch full colour TFT screen uses optical bonding to improve visibility in bright sunlight. By sealing the gap between the cover glass and TFT screen with resin, glare is reduced, and backlight transmittance improved. IOS/Android smartphone connectivity of Honda RoadSync is also an upgrade. This feature alongside a simplified, easy-to-use, backlit four-way toggle-switch on the left handlebar allows straightforward, on-screen turn-by-turn navigation as well as the option (via a Bluetooth helmet headset) for the rider to make calls or listen to music. All an owner has to do is download the Honda RoadSync app from either the Play Store or the App Store, connect to the ADV350, and go. Another convenient feature is the Smart Key, which controls the main ignition switch knob and seat locking from the riders pocket, and automatically locks the ADV350 when the rider walks away. It also manages the optional 50L Smart top box; with the Smart Key present the box is unlocked. An answer back switch also flashes the indicators for easy location. The Emergency Stop Signal (ESS) system also operates (and self-cancels) the rear indicators during a hard-stop situation, alerting road users behind. The indicators also now auto-cancel in normal use. Chassis Lightweight tubular steel frame, features motorcycle-style 37mm USD forks Remote reservoir rear shocks now spring preload adjustable deliver agile handling and natural control Six-spoke cast aluminium wheels run block-pattern tubeless tyres Disc brakes front and rear As a scooter designed to handle the rough-road rigours of the city and even light off-road conditions the ADV350s chassis is built to be confidence-inspiring. A lightweight tubular steel frame provides core strength; wheelbase is set at 1520mm, with rake of 26.5 and 90mm trail. Kerb weight is 186kg. Motorcycle-style 37mm USD forks (with 125mm stroke) are clamped by motorcycle-style top and bottom yokes, increasing rigidity for the entire front end. A 25YM update has been applied to the twin remote reservoir shock absorbers; they are now adjustable for spring preload and offer excellent suspension reaction on a variety of road surfaces. With 130mm travel, they work a one-piece aluminium swingarm. The wheel design is unique in the Honda scooter range. Cast aluminium and finished in black, the lightweight 15-inch front/14-inch rear use an X-shaped 6-spoke criss-cross pattern. 120/70-15 front, and 140/70-14 rear block-pattern tubeless tyres offer a supple ride thanks to wide tread width and ample air volume. A 256mm single disc performs stopping duties up front, mated to a 240mm rear, with the benefit of 2-channel ABS for braking control. Engine 330cc enhanced Smart Power+ (eSP+) SOHC four-valve engine Peak power of 21.5kW @ 7,500rpm with 31.5Nm torque @ 5,250rpm New ECU settings, catalyser and O2 sensor with muffler internals and protective cover updated 11.7L fuel tank and 28.6km/l economy (WMTC mode) gives a potential 330km+ range The 330cc, enhanced Smart Power+ (eSP+) SOHC four-valve engine achieves both high environmental performance and strong output characteristic for use in and out of the city through comprehensive adoption of low friction technology. Peak power of 21.5kW @ 7,500rpm is matched to 31.5Nm torque @ 5,250rpm. Bore and stroke are set at 77mm x 70.8mm, with compression ratio of 10.5:1. A roller-type rocker arm, plain journal crank bearings and sealed crankcase deliver long-term reliability together with strong performance. To enhance piston cooling, an oil jet, as used on the CRF450R, sprays oil right to the back of the piston, advancing ignition timing and improving combustion performance. Oil capacity is 1.8 litres. Air is supplied via a 5.5 litre airbox and a 36mm throttle body feeds fuel/air mixture to 28mm inlet valves. The intake port draws air in efficiently, using a tumble flow within the cylinder for consistent fuel combustion and exhaust gases are expelled via a straight exhaust port. Internal friction is reduced through a 5mm offset cylinder, hydraulic cam chain adjuster and use of a scavenger pump. Used on high performance machines, the pump lowers the internal pressure within the engine, reduces oil agitation and decreases pumping losses and internal rotational friction. A balancer shaft further reduces vibration and contributes to a smooth, enjoyable ride. An automatic centrifugal clutch works V-Matic transmission (with ratios set for fast low speed reaction and smart acceleration) and belt final drive. The ADV350s engine is also equipped with two level Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC). The system detects any difference between the front and rear wheel speeds, calculates the slip ratio and then controls engine torque via the fuel injection to regain rea wheel traction. HSTC can be switched ON/OFF via a switch on the left handlebar. A TC indicator in the display blinks when the system is managing the grip. Alongside updated ECU settings, the mufflers internal structure (as well as its protective outer cover) has been revised, the catalyser upgraded and an O2 sensor added to ensure forward-looking compliance. Fuel economy is a frugal 28.6km/l (WMTC mode); the 11.7L tank capacity gives a potential 330km+ range. Accessories A full range of Genuine Honda Accessories are available for the ADV350 either individually or in carefully curated packs for user convenience: The Comfort Park is versatile collection of parts designed to enhance rider comfort and convenience: Deflector Set Heated Grips Console Bag High Screen The Style Pack builds in additional protection and looks: Optional Seat Stainless Plate Handlebar Holder The Adventure Pack is a robust, purpose-built accessory set designed to significantly boost the bikes off-road appearance and enhance its road presence and visibility: Side Pipes Led Fog Lights and Attachments The Urban Pack is designed to enhance urban commuting capability by combining cutting-edge technology with practical, city-focused features and increasing carrying capacity: Rear Carrier 50L Smart Top Box with electronic opener and backrest Aluminium Cover for Top Box Loud Security Buzzer Also available: U Lock Outdoor Cover Tue, 05 Nov 2024 00:00:00 GMT https://www.suttonmotorcycles.com/triumph/news/25ym-honda-sh350i Introduction Look around Europes capital cities and two letters will be constantly, obviously, on the move around you: SH. Over a million SH scooters have been sold in Europe over the last 42 years, earning the SH tag the status of a brand-within-a-brand, underpinned by Hondas famed build quality and reliability. The SH300i, with its compact, flat-floored step-through design and 16-inch front and rear wheels carried all the SH signature touches and packed something extra a powerful engine delivering maximum response for both city and highway use. It became the first Honda to gain EURO4 compliance back in 15YM; at the same time its engine got a boost in torque output and fuel efficiency. Its look, too, was made more muscular while the chassis received revisions to expand storage space and maintain its razor-sharp handling. In 19YM it gained Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) and Smart Key operation, and, in 21YM, the story continued: the SH350i grew cubic capacity, thus power and torque, and received an elegant re-style further cementing its position as the perfect all-round flat floor urban scooter. With a family that also includes the ever-popular SH125i and SH150i, for 25YM the range-topping SH350i adds to its desirability through a design refresh, plus two sharp new colours and four new colour combinations. Model Overview The SH350is eSP+ engine makes peak power of 21.5Kw and is strong all the way through the rev-range, delivering the fast acceleration for which it is justifiably famous. 25YM delivers revisions to ECU settings, catalyser and muffler layout, as well as an additional O2 sensor. Sleek styling with updated face and LED lighting complements the SH formula of compact, usable practicality; this is a scooter thats easy to both ride and park. An internal luggage light has been added to the under-seat compartment which, as ever, takes a full-face helmet. A USB-C socket can also be found in the front storage pocket, and the dash is attractive LCD. The mainframe is a durable, lightweight steel underbone layout; 16-inch wheels roll smoothly while the suspension telescopic front forks and twin rear shocks delivers a compliant ride. For 25YM the SH350i will be available in the following colour options: *NEW* Pearl Nebbia White *NEW* Mat Jeans Blue Metallic *NEW* Mat Rock Gray *NEW* Mat Pearl Diaspro Red Mat Lucent Silver Metallic Black Key Features Styling & Equipment Updated, sophisticated SH style includes signature flat floor USB-C in the front storage pocket; under seat storage gains internal light Smart Key operation, LCD instrumentation Emergency Stop Signal (ESS) function warns other road users of sudden braking The SH350i is a scooter that instantly defines its presence on the road, marking out its premium SH lineage. Its face sets it apart and the 25YM update brings with it an evolution the redesigned LED headlight features a central main beam splitting dual dip beams, while revised side lights and reprofiled indicators create a sleek, contemporary frontal signature. The LED taillight and indicators sit neatly at the rear, between an aluminium passenger grab rail. Of course, as an SH, function is as important as form. The riding position supports a wide range of rider sizes and delivers a relaxed, upright stance and great all-round vision. Total machine length is 2160mm, with width of 742mm and height of 1160mm. Minimum ground clearance is 130mm. Theres room for a full-face helmet under the seat and now also a useful internal light and seat height itself is an easy-to-manage 805mm (just 6mm more than the SH125/150). Additional storage can be found in the larger for 25YM glovebox that can take everyday items and valuables. Theres also a USB-C socket for easy charging of a mobile device. The standard SH flat floor (435mm wide) makes loads easy to carry as well as aiding the rider step on and off. A foldable utility hook on the front panel adds bag-carrying convenience. An attractive LCD dash presents all warning lights including HSTC and ABS operation neatly around a central digital speedo/odometer display. All operations on the dash are carried out via buttons on the left handlebar. The front and rear indicators have an auto-cancelling Emergency Stop Signal feature. Once the ABS recognises hard braking is in process, the hazard lights flash to warn other road users. Adding to the convenience of a busy life on the move is the Smart Key which as well as controlling the main ignition switch knob and storage compartment locking can also manage the optional 35L top box. With the Smart Key in the riders pocket the Smart Top Box is unlocked, and automatically locks when the rider walks away. It can also be locked from the key. Engine 330cc engine produces 21.5Kw peak power with 31.5Nm torque eSP+ technology ensures fuel economy of 28.6km/L (WMTC mode) New ECU settings, catalyser, muffler internals and O2 sensor The SH350is enhanced Smart Power+ (eSP+) engine achieves both high environmental performance and strong output characteristics through comprehensive adoption of technologies for friction reduction. Liquid-cooled, the fuel-injected SOHC four-valve unit produces peak power of 21.5kW @ 7,500rpm, with maximum torque of 31.5Nm @ 5,250rpm. From a standing start, the SH350i will hit 200m in 10.2s. Bore is 77mm with 70.8mm stroke; compression ratio is set at 10.5:1. Roller-type rocker arm, plain journal crank bearings and sealed crankcases deliver long-term reliability together with strong performance. To enhance piston cooling, an oil jet, as used on the CRF450R, sprays oil right to the back of the piston, advancing ignition timing and improving combustion performance. Oil capacity is 1.85 litres. Air is supplied via a 5.5 litre airbox. A 36mm throttle body feeds 28mm inlet valves with maximum efficiency.

In the late 1970s the XL250S was launched a bike providing genuine on-road usability with excellent off-road performance. The entire XL range that followed became legendary and proved that combining an economical and easy-to-use single-cylinder four-stroke engine with a competent chassis created a motorcycle that was useful, versatile and, as riders the world over found, a great deal of fun. Over thirteen years ago, exhaustive discussions within Honda R&D took place about the creation of a brand-new dual-purpose machine. The companys long history in off-road competition and trail-ready machinery was a useful touchstone when development of the bike first began. Looking to the needs of customers came first. While some riders insist upon competition-level off-road performance, many others value ease of use, practicality and convenience. For weekday, urban environments they wanted a tough, practical bike with cutting-edge off-road style. But, come the weekend, it needed to provide a ticket to ride, wherever they wanted to go, on or off-road. Hondas new dual-purpose bike was always viewed by its development team with global perspective. It not only needed a powerful and frugal engine, its chassis also had to have a broad and capable range. And it needed to be affordable, offering high quality and outstanding value for money, with low overall running costs a priority. The CRF250L, launched across Europe in 2012, was just that motorcycle. And Hondas engineers got the formula right. The CRF250L proved a fruitful base platform which, as well as spawning a RALLY version*, enjoyed consistent sales success around the world. Gaining capacity in 20YM, the CRF300Ls new engine also received an assist/slipper clutch. Thanks to weight reduction in the chassis, it was 4kg lighter, with revised riding position, slimmer seat and tank and positive LCD dash. For 23YM, it got a new paint option and standard-fit knuckle guards. It's time, in 25YM, for the CRF300L to slide up its development curve once again with detail updates and upgrades owners will appreciate. And, just as it should, it remains every bit a true, do-it-all, dual-purpose motorcycle. Model Overview Mechanically unchanged for 25YM, the CRF300Ls 286cc single-cylinder engine produces 20.1kW and 26.6Nm. Gear ratios first through fifth are short, for improved response and acceleration, while sixth is tall for more relaxed high-speed cruising. An assist/ slipper clutch manages the rear wheel under hard down changes and offers light load at the lever. EURO5+ compliance has been achieved and the radiator fan orientation has been adjusted for improved heat management. A redesigned protective shroud, and redesigned side cover direct warm air away from the rider, increasing comfort. A tuned rigidity balance between the steel frame, aluminium swingarm and bottom yoke offer excellent feedback and feel. Steering geometry delivers stability and agility, while long travel front and rear suspension features revised damping rates at both ends for a more stable, comfortable platform for riders. Sharp-edged bodywork features a slim tank and seat, and new LED headlight and indicators. The riding position is tailored to encourage the light steering manoeuvrability needed off-road and, just as usefully, around town. The 25YM CRF300L will be available in the following colour options: Extreme Red with Blue and white graphic set Swift Grey with Red and white graphic set Key Features Engine DOHC, 286cc single-cylinder engine producing 20.1kW and 26.6Nm Improved heat management from the radiator Gearbox ratios set for both acceleration and cruising Assist/ slipper clutch for light lever load EURO5+2 compliant The single-cylinder, liquid-cooled DOHC engine produces peak power of 20.1kW @ 8,500rpm, with peak torque of 26.6Nm @ 6,500rpm. Bore and stroke is set at 76 x 63mm, with compression ratio of 10.7:1. To match the engines punch and for smart pick-up and acceleration, gear ratios first through fifth are short, while sixth gear is tall for more relaxed highway cruising. An assist/ slipper clutch reduces lever load and manages rear wheel hop on rapid downshifts great for control, on or off-road. An iridium spark plug, along with precise metering of fuel from the PGM-FI injection system, enhances combustion efficiency and improves environmental credentials. The engine uses an offset cylinder, reducing internal frictional losses, while the piston itself incorporates a special surface material, plus molybdenum coating. The oil pump features an internal relief structure that prevents aeration of relieved oil. The crank journal employs a half-split, press-fit metal bearing while the crank bearing uses a cast-iron bush. A primary balance shaft further reduces vibration. The cooling system uses a 12.7kW heat-release radiator, sited on the left of the bike. Revised for 25YM, to move hot air away from the rider, the system features a new radiator fan, as well as a new, larger polypropylene grill for improved airflow into the system. A redesigned side cover also mitigates hot air expelled by from the fan. The engine is EURO5+ compliant, with CO2 emissions (WMTC) of 73g/km. Chassis Handling and agility ready for action on any terrain Lightweight frame and swingarm; tuned rigidity balance for both Long travel front and rear suspension with detail changes to dampers Ample ground clearance Wet weight of the CRF300L is just 142kg. The steel semi-double cradle frames rigidity balance is tuned to promote handling feel and connection to front/rear traction. The one-piece cast aluminium swingarm is balanced to match. Extruded aluminium is used for the chain adjustment collar. The bottom yoke is aluminium, saving weight in an area high relative to the centre of gravity for faster steering response. Rake and trail are set at 27.5 and 109mm respectively, with wheelbase at 1455mm, ground clearance at 285mm, and turning radius at 2.3m. The 43mm Showa inverted forks employ a 260mm stroke, with spring weight and damping settings optimised for precise control over a wide range of terrain and speeds. Pro-Link rear suspension also features 260mm axle stroke; the Showa shock absorber is a single tube design. Damping rates at both ends have been tuned for 25YM, improving overall contact patch with the road, and creating a more stable, comfortable platform for riders. The front brake uses a single 256mm disc gripped by a dual-piston caliper, the rear set-up utilizes a 220mm disc and mono-piston caliper; in common with the CRF competition machines the rear master cylinder is now a lightweight, integrated design. The discs feature a wave design with exceptional self-cleaning abilities in adverse conditions. Two-channel ABS is standard. The 21-inch front wheel and 18-inch rear increase stability on rough terrain and allow the fitment of more off-road specific tyres if required. Block pattern enduro-style tyres (front, 80/100-21 51P and rear 120/80-18 62P) provide traction in a wide range of riding situations. Styling & Equipment Light, slim bodywork inspired by competition CRF machines New LED headlight and indicators Knuckle guards standard equipment Positive LCD display easy to read and now has USB-C socket nearby Drawing inspiration from the racing CRFs, the CRF300L wears a crisp set of bodywork and graphics, with standard-fit knuckle guards. The 7.8L fuel tank is slim to aid movement forward and matched by a narrow forward seat section. A minimal rear number plate bracket is matched by an aggressively shaped front mudguard. For 25YM, the CRF300L has a new LED headlight and compact LED indicators. Seat height is set at 880mm. The riding position places machine control and manoeuvrability front and centre with an upright rider triangle wide handlebars are pulled back slightly, with footpegs set low and backward to make gear changes in heavy off-road boots easier. The side stand too has a broad, folding footplate. The LCD display weighs just 70g and features large black digits on a crisp white display, for instant readability with large, 23mm speedo numbers. Information includes gear position indicator, fuel mileage and consumption, average speed, stopwatch and rev-counter. Accessories Tailor-made Genuine Honda Accessories for the CRF300L amplify the motorcycles capabilities, add extra-comfort and peace of mind, and include: 38L Top Box, with optional backrest and inner bag.

In essence it opens up a whole new range of two-wheeled opportunities, whatever the riders experience level. With styling DNA drawn directly from the HRC CRF450 RALLY Dakar racer, the CRF250 RALLY, based on the trail-ready CRF250L, brought something new to the market on its launch for 17YM. It not only looked ready to compete in a desert stage, but also delivered a real taste of adventure to riders looking for a light, easy-to-manage machine. In 21YM, alongside the CRF300L*, the CRF300 RALLY made its debut. Lighter, more powerful and even better equipped to explore the CRF300 RALLY was good to go, right out of the box. For 25YM it receives some thoughtful updates that owners will appreciate whether theyre riding around the world or around the block. Model Overview The CRF300 RALLYs 286cc single-cylinder engine produces 20.1kW and 26.6Nm. Gear ratios one through five are short, for improved response and acceleration, while sixth is tall for more relaxed high-speed cruising. An assist/slipper clutch manages the rear wheel under hard down changes and offers light load at the lever. A 25YM update is to thermal management, with a redesigned side over mitigating hot air expelled by the fan. EURO5+ compliance has also been achieved. Tuned rigidity balance between the steel frame, aluminium swingarm and bottom yoke offers excellent feedback and feel. Steering geometry delivers stability and agility, while long travel front and rear suspension with revised, firmer 25YM damping rates ensures supple bump absorption and plenty of ground clearance. The riding position encourages the light steering manoeuvrability needed off-road and, just as usefully, around town. The race inspired sharp-edged bodywork flanks a large, 12.8L capacity fuel tank and comfortable, broad seat, distinctive asymmetric dual LED headlight (the indicators are also compact LED for 25YM) and positive LCD instrument display. An optional USB socket is now available. The 25YM CRF300 RALLY will be available exclusively in the following colour option: Extreme Red with blue and white graphic set Key Features Engine DOHC, 286cc single-cylinder engine producing 20.1kW and 26.6Nm Improved heat management from the radiator Gearbox ratios set for both acceleration and cruising Assist/slipper clutch for light lever load EURO5+ compliant The single-cylinder, liquid-cooled DOHC engine produces peak power of 20.1kW @ 8,500rpm, with peak torque of 26.6Nm @ 6,500rpm.

Rear Carrier Bracket and Mounts Wider Rally Steps USB-C Charger Heated Grips Tue, 05 Nov 2024 00:00:00 GMT https://www.suttonmotorcycles.com/triumph/news/25ym-honda-cl500 Introduction Honda has a long history of getting smaller capacity bikes just right for riders around the world. A combination of easy usability, useful engine performance, affordability and distinct individuality equal motorcycles that, over time, come to mean so much to their owners. The CLs from the 60s and 70s were such bikes, proving that a lightweight bike with off-road dynamics was great fun around town. Latterly, the high-barred, high-piped style has become an iconic signature for many 21st century riders. Click forward 5 decades and, in 2018, the A2 licence compatible CMX500 Rebel arrived in the Honda range. Its old school meets new school take on custom cool was an instant hit and extremely customisable. And as a package engine, chassis and styling its proved irresistible to a legion of young riders and has quietly got on with the business of being the top-selling custom bike in Europe for the last three years. Five years later it was time for something new and for 23YM Honda introduced, once again, a bike proudly wearing the CL badge for riders who like to be that bit different. The CL500 draws heavily on the formula of the originals, with the right look, right engine and durability to go with the urban rough and tumble. Model Overview The development concept used from the start of the CL500 project was Express Yourself. Deliberately targeting a young, style-conscious demographic, its a bike designed to fit neatly into an owners lifestyle with the ability to handle the daily commute, a long weekend ride, or even some light off-road and to catch the eye while doing it. The 471cc parallel twin-cylinder engine is Hondas lively and popular A2 licence compatible powerplant that produces 34.3kW power and a healthy 43.4Nm torque, and thanks to 25YM revisions around the ECU and inclusion of an OBD2-2 sensor is now Euro5+ compliant. The much-loved engine is paired with an assist/ slipper clutch-equipped six-speed gearbox, which features short final drive gearing to serve up smart around-town acceleration both from a standing start and through the gears. A tubular steel trellis-style main frame is both a statement of style and the foundation of easy handling. Long-travel suspension comprises 41mm telescopic forks and adjustable rear shocks while the wheels 19-inch front and 17-inch rear wear Dunlop block-pattern tyres. Newly optimised footpeg shaping is matched to a revised seat construction, for increased rider comfort. Both front and rear brakes feature ABS modulation specifically balanced for excellent performance on a variety of surfaces, including light off-road. The CLs comprehensive specification includes LED lighting front and rear, a compact negative LCD instrument panel, as well as the latest safety systems such as Emergency Stop Signal (ESS) technology that operates the rear indicators as hazard lights under sudden, hard braking. The 25YM CL500 will be available in the following colour options: Pearl Dusk Yellow *NEW* Mat Laurel Green Metallic Mat Fresco Brown *NEW* Mat Gunpowder Black Metallic Key Features Styling & Equipment Styling simple and raw, just like the original CL 790mm seat height gives easy ground reach and legroom; new seat urethane and revised footpeg shape Negative display LCD dash now easier to read in sunlight Full LED lighting and Emergency Stop Signal (ESS) technology for the rear indicators Simple, Raw and Tough were the three words that set the tone and direction for the CL500s styling team. The street scrambler style looks right wherever it rolls with the added benefit of ergonomics that make for a bike thats very easy to ride in a variety of situations. The combination of the clean, round fuel tank shape and upswept muffler with stainless steel heat shield strikes the nostalgia chords hard. And all the lovingly crafted details (the tank pads and rubber fork gaiters, the wadded, smooth outer seat skin with embossed Honda logo, high-level handlebars) combine to create a look that oozes charm. The paint options, all set against the completely blacked out engine and chassis, make each tank colour pop vibrantly. A low seat height of 790mm, in combination with a slim mid-section, offers easy ground reach and ample legroom. Featuring a new urethane foam material for enhanced comfort, its also designed to cover the frame rails for standing up and low rear section for easy pillion access. It also detaches easily with the ignition key and features a tucked-away helmet holder. The high handlebars not only look good, theyre angled precisely to provide leverage both when standing up or sitting down, with off-road style grips and internal weights to reduce fatigue. The tank pads provide another contact point for the legs when standing; whilst the steel footpegs have been repositioned and feature rubber inserts for increased comfort. The low-set 175mm diameter headlight has classic form but houses four LED bulbs with thick inner lenses for a distinctive frontal signature. Small, 55mm circular LED indicators feature classic looks and sit either side of a thin, ovalized LED taillight. A neat, 100mm diameter circular display houses the negative LCD dash. Simple and uncluttered information delivery includes gear position indicator, fuel consumption and individual indicator arrows; a 25YM update is increased readability in bright light. Hard, sudden braking operates the standard equipment Emergency Stop Signal (ESS) which flashes the rear indicators to alert road users behind, before auto-cancelling. With fuel economy of 27.7km/L, a 12L capacity tank gives the CL500 a potential range of over 300km. Engine 471cc liquid-cooled parallel twin-cylinder engine, A2 licence compatible Unique PGM-FI settings and shorter final drive gearing Assist/slipper clutch for rear wheel control Iconic upswept twin-exit exhaust muffler The CL500s 471cc 8-valve, liquid-cooled parallel twin-cylinder engine is smooth, easy to use and thoroughly engaging. The hugely popular and durable unit has made its reputation in Hondas CB(R)500 series and the CMX500 Rebel. For the CL500, it features revised PGM-FI fuel injection mapping (updated for 25YM for OBD2-2 compliance) and a different intake and exhaust setup to deliver engaging torque of 43.4Nm @ 6,250rpm and peak power of 34.3kW @ 8,500rpm. For crisper acceleration through each gear the rear sprocket uses 41 teeth, versus the 40 used by the Rebel. Its a power unit that strikes a great balance between physical size and flexible output, with a willing delivery of both mid-range torque and top end power that has made it one of Hondas most-loved engines. Bore and stroke is set at 67mm x 66.8mm with compression ratio of 10.7:1. Internally the cylinder head uses roller rocker arms; shim-type valve adjustment allows them to be light, for lower valve-spring load and reduced friction. A silent (SV Chain) cam chain has the surface of its pins treated with Vanadium, reducing friction with increased protection against dust. Friction is further reduced by the addition of striations on the piston skirt (a finish that increases surface area, introducing gaps in which oil can flow for better lubrication). The crankshaft pins are phased at 180 and a primary couple-balancer sits behind the cylinders, close to the bikes centre of gravity. The balancer gears use scissor gears, reducing noise. The crank counterweight is specifically shaped for couple-balance and its light weight allows the engine to spin freely, with reduced inertia. Inlet valve diameter is 26.0mm with exhaust valve diameter of 21.5mm. The crankcases use centrifugally cast thin-walled sleeves. Their internal design reduces the pumping losses that can occur with a 180 phased firing order. A deep oil sump holds 3.2L. Slick to use up or down, the six-speed gearbox is designed to offer effortless changes, especially around town. An assist/slipper clutch helps with rear wheel control, lightens the lever operation load and reduces rider fatigue. In iconic CL style the exhaust twin-pipe muffler is upswept and fed by 2-1 downpipes. The note is tuned for heavier low-frequency sound compared to the Rebel, with a similar pulsing feel. A new OBD2-2 exhaust sensor ensures EURO5+ compliance. Chassis Tubular diamond-structure steel frame 41mm telescopic forks and twin, spring preload adjustable rear shocks Two-piston front brake caliper working a 310mm floating disc ABS balanced for light off-road use 19-inch front/17-inch rear combination The tubular diamond-structure steel frame provides the handling ability, ride comfort and foundation of style for the CL500. Its beautifully simple, with strong tubes and loop-shaped rear subframe. Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) was employed to get the rigidity and weight balance optimised perfectly. A scrambler-style bike must cope with it all from rough city streets to uneven dirt roads and the goal for the chassis was to create light, responsive handling with suspension that can absorb the hits. Ground clearance is 155mm; caster angle is set at 27 with trail of 108mm and 1,485mm wheelbase. Kerb weight is 192kg. Up front, 41mm telescopic forks feature 150mm travel and wear classic black fork gaiters. While adding period style they also protect the legs and seals from dust and damage. The top and bottom yokes are CL-specific and enhance steering accuracy and feel. At the rear, an elegantly simple swingarm uses 45mm round tubing to muscular effect. Long-stroke twin rear shocks offer 145mm travel and 5-step spring preload adjustment (3 up from standard, 1 down). Damping at both ends is set to deliver a supple, comfortable ride no matter the road surface. A two-piston front caliper works a 310mm floating disc through sintered pads. The hydraulic pressure between the front and rear single-piston caliper/240mm disc is balanced to provide hlgh levels of braking control on a wide range of surfaces. The ABS too is optimised for use on dirt tracks as well as asphalt. The wheels are a 19-inch front/17-inch rear combination for confident grip and light handling across varying terrain. Tyres are deep-groove Dunlop Mixtours, sized 110/80 R19 front and 150/70 R17 rear. Accessories A full range of Genuine Honda accessories are available for the CL500, ready for personalisation to owner preference. The rear subframe is designed for easy fitment of cosmetic parts or the soft rear pannier; a rear rack also mounts the 38L top box. Theres also the option of a 30mm higher seat finished in brown with black double stitching for taller riders. Cosmetic additions to add classic off-road style include: Lightweight Polypropylene Side Number Boards Fly Screen Knuckle Guards High Front Mudguard For convenience, three specially designed packs are ready to go: Adventure Pack Elevates off-road style and readiness with Rally Footpegs, flatter High Seat, Wheel Stripes, and central Tank Pad.

Tue, 05 Nov 2024 00:00:00 GMT https://www.suttonmotorcycles.com/triumph/news/25ym-honda-pcx125 Introduction The PCX125 is one of the quiet success stories of Hondas two-wheeled line-up, having clocked up sales of over 140,000 units in Europe since its arrival in 2010. Its popularity is down to a formula Honda has had many years experience in perfecting: a strong, modern design that fits elegantly into a style-conscious urban lifestyle, coupled with compact dimensions that ensure it can plot a path through busy traffic and park with ease. Also integral to the formula is an X level of Personal Comfort (thus PCX) provided by the sit-in riding position, weather protection, under-seat storage for a full-face helmet and all-round build quality. And, not to forget, outstanding value for money (both at purchase and throughout ownership) has always helped underpin the PCXs status. In 2010 the PCX was the first two-wheeler in Europe to feature Idling Stop technology; two years later it became the first scooter in Europe to use Hondas ultra-efficient enhanced Smart Power (eSP) engine. For 2016 it gained EURO4 compliance and, in 18YM, received a major design update, a new chassis and more power for its engine. Its a scooter thats always moved with the times and in 21YM the PCX125 leapt forward with a new engine and frame combination, increased convenience and comfort, plus new style. Now, its time for it to move again. The 25YM PCX125 features a strong evolution of its avant-garde design, with upgrades to chassis and technology. And, in the process, looks to consolidate its place at the beating heart of European scooter culture. Model Overview The PCX125 has a unique presence and is a rolling statement of difference. The refreshed, super-stylish 25YM bodywork hides ample under-seat storage and floor space; theres also a USB-C socket in the glovebox. The new-for-25YM DX model introduces a new five-inch TFT screen up front which offers intuitive control, clarity in bright light and easy Honda RoadSync smartphone connectivity. Across all models, Hondas Smart Key is standard and operates the ignition and seat, whilst the rich specification is rounded out with LED lighting all round. The enhanced Smart Power Plus (eSP+) four-valve engine produces 9.2kW power, 11.7Nm torque and returns 47.6km/l / 2.1L/100km (WMTC mode). It features Idling Stop technology and Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) maintains rear wheel traction. For 25YM it has new ECU settings, catalyser position and a new O2 sensor. A tubular steel frame is tough, lightweight and mounts 31mm telescopic front forks and twin rear shocks, with DX models also gaining remote reservoirs. The rear drum brake has also been replaced with a 220mm disc brake. The 25YM PCX125 will be available in the following colour options: Mat Galaxy Black Metallic Mat Dim Gray Metallic - *NEW* Pearl Snowflake White - *NEW* Pearl Dark Ash Blue - *NEW* Key Features Styling & Equipment Redesigned, futuristic bodywork flows as one in PCX signature style; handlebars are now covered DX model features new five-inch TFT display with Honda RoadSync smartphone connectivity LED headlight features distinct daytime running light 30.4L storage capacity under the seat; USB-C charging socket in the glove box Smart Key operation of ignition and seat A consistent design signature of the PCX125 has always been the bodywork with its strong character line and block primary paint colour flowing together as a whole, front to rear. And it has evolved, elegantly for 25YM; the tautly defined front fairing flares in its upper portion but elegantly draws in at the waist; alongside a blacked-out screen this produces effective wind protection without excess bulk. Bold and beautiful, no other scooter has such futuristic style. Full, premium LED lighting also sets the PCX125 apart from the crowd. The headlight features an evolved signature, built around a slimmed down V shaped light signature that itself frames defined headlights. Whilst the standard model grade utilises an LCD screen to relay all vital information to the rider, the new DX version model of the PCX125 introduces a new five-inch full colour TFT screen that uses optical bonding to improve visibility in bright sunlight. By sealing the gap between the cover glass and TFT screen with resin, glare is reduced, and backlight transmittance improved. Seamless IOS/Android smartphone connectivity of Honda RoadSync is an additional new element. This feature alongside a new simplified, easy-to-use, backlit four-way toggle-switch on the left handlebar allows straightforward, on-screen turn-by-turn navigation as well as the option (via a Bluetooth helmet headset) for the rider to make calls or listen to music. All an owner has to do is download the Honda RoadSync app from either the Play Store or the App Store, connect to the PCX125, and go. Wide handlebars are also a PCX signature to offer excellent leverage and manoeuvrability around towns and other urban areas. The rear grab rail provides the passenger with comfortable and supportive hand holds while on the move. The seat is contoured for both rider/pillion comfort and easy ground reach; seat height is set at 763mm but is very manageable with a straddling height of 540mm. The swooping lines also hide ample storage capacity under the seat. 30.4L is perfect for a full-face helmet, and more. Theres also a USB-C socket in the glovebox, ready to plug a smartphone straight into. Even the fuel filler cap cover features space to store the fuel cap during re-fuelling. Smart Key operation is also convenient. As well as controlling the main ignition switch knob and compartment locking it can also manage the (optional) 35L removable Smart Top Box. With the Smart Key in the riders pocket the box is unlocked, and automatically locks when the rider walks away. It can also be locked from the key. Chassis Steel frame offers durability with nimble handling Large spring diameter/ long stroke twin rear shocks, with DX variants gaining remote reservoirs Rear disc replaces the previously fitted drum brake Stylish wheels complement the curvaceous body style The PCX125 uses duplex steel cradle frame designed to deliver the durability needed for the rigours of urban life, with around-town manoeuvrability, user-friendliness and relaxed riding position. Wheelbase is set at 1,315mm, with the 25YM featuring a lightly amended 26.5 rake, and 80mm trail. Overall kerb weight is 133kg (DX - 134kg). Both wheels 14-inch front and 13-inch rear employ a design that complements the bodywork. Tyre sizes are sized 110/70-14M/C front and 130/70-13M/C rear. The 31mm front forks feature 89mm axle travel, while the rear shock absorbers have 95mm. For 25YM, and improved damping consistency, the DX variant gains remote reservoirs with springs weighted for a smooth ride on rough city streets. Stopping power is provided by a twin-piston front caliper and 220mm disc now matched to a 220mm rear disc that works with a single-piston caliper. Engine 125cc, water-cooled eSP+ SOHC four-valve engine Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) Idling Stop technology New ECU settings, catalyser re-sited and O2 sensor added The PCX125s enhanced Smart Power Plus (eSP+) four-valve, water-cooled SOHC powerplant delivers 9.2kW @ 8,750rpm, with peak torque of 11.7Nm @ 6,500rpm. Bore and stroke is set at 53.5 x 55.5mm with compression ratio of 11.5:1. It accelerates smartly from a standing start or roll-on, and the PCX will cruise happily around 90km/h. V-max is 98km/h. And, thanks to the engines fuel efficiency of approximately 47.6km/l (WMTC mode), and 8.1L tank range is approximately 385km between fill ups. Technology to boost rider confidence in wet conditions is Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) which works in the background to deftly manage rear wheel traction. A T indicator flickers on the dash when HSTC is actively reducing wheelspin, and the system can be turned off completely. Hondas eSP+ low-friction technologies are found throughout the engine; clever packaging of items like the oil pump (which is built into the crankcase) help to further ensure efficiency. A compact combustion chamber and PGM-FI fuel injection with 28mm diameter throttle body, 2mm larger optimises burning velocity and cooling performance. An offset cylinder reduces friction caused by contact between piston and bore, efficiently transmitting combustion energy to the crankshaft. A spiny cast-iron sleeve with tiny surface extensions keeps in check any distortion of the inner bore diameter. This design lowers tension in the piston ring, reducing friction. A hydraulic cam chain tensioner further improves engine efficiencies by reducing internal vibrations and improving fuel economy. Piston oil jets as used by CRF450R competition MX machine maintain consistent cooling. This allows ignition timing advances and prevents abnormal combustion, such as knocking. A hydraulic cam chain tensioner lifter inhibits chain vibration, controls noise and reduces friction. A high-efficiency radiator integrated into the exterior of the right-side crankcase employs a small, light fan reducing frictional losses and lowering drag. Rolling resistance within the transmission unit is reduced using three low-friction main bearings, all designed to deal with the loads they individually receive. An optimised clutch and pulleys complement the performance. The electronically controlled, brushless ACG starter is an integrated component mounted directly on the end of the crankshaft, serving as starter motor and alternator. It spins the engine directly, eliminating any noise from gear engagement or meshing. Idling Stop automatically stops the engine running after three seconds at idle when the scooter is stationary, and the brakes applied and re-starts it instantly the throttle grip is twisted. Its seamless in use thanks to ACG and the swing-back system that returns the crank to its position before air intake, and a decompression mechanism that negates cranking resistance from compression. It has the functionality to read the battery charge and turns itself off to avoid excessive drain. To meet Euro 5+ emissions compliance, new ECU settings are matched to a re-designed exhaust system featuring a repositioned catalyser and new O2 sensor. Accessories A range of Genuine Honda Accessories are available for the PCX125. The Winter Pack is specially designed to enhance the riders comfort during adverse and cold weather.

With a premium finish, high quality materials and beautiful design details and more than 120 Genuine Triumph Accessories making it easy to customise to reflect each riders individual style, the new Speed Twin is an effortlessly cool contemporary classic. Triumphs Chief Product Officer Steve Sargent said: This new Speed Twin 900 styling has evolved to be sleeker and more dynamic while still retaining the classic design cues that deliver that timeless style. The bike is more agile and easier to manouvre too, as weve made changes to the chassis and specification that all add up to make a big difference. From talking to our customers, we know that the enduring appeal of the Speed Twin 900 is also due to a premium specification, top-quality finish and great reliability, and a badge on the tank which owners are proud to own. Our ambition is as always, to deliver more of what riders appreciate. EFFORTLESSLY COOL DESIGN The new, sportier fuel tank is deeply sculpted, with chiseled side panels and stylized throttle body covers, introducing more purposeful, dynamic lines.

Wed, 09 Oct 2024 00:00:00 BST https://www.suttonmotorcycles.com/triumph/news/more-tech-more-spec-more-fun-triumph-updates-trident-660-for-2025 Triumph updates award-winning Trident 660 for 2025 More rider focused technology fitted as standard, including Optimised Cornering ABS, Triumph Shift Assist and Cruise Control Upgraded suspension for even more agility Bold new colours and graphics schemes Available in dealerships from December 2024 Triumph Motorcycles enhances its award-winning Trident 660 for 2025, fitting even more rider focused technology as standard, upgrading the suspension and introducing a choice of three bold new colours and graphic schemes. As the only triple engine in the class, the Trident 660 delivers thrilling, exploitable performance, and its agile, confidence inspiring handling and updated retro-modern styling is now paired with best-in-class rider-focused technology. Underpinned by Triumphs renowned premium build quality and component specification, the Trident 660 now offers riders an even more compelling package and remarkably low cost of ownership. In response to customer demand, the Trident 660 now features a host of new equipment that is unprecedented in this class, with Optimised Cornering ABS and Traction Control, Triumph Shift Assist and cruise control all fitted as standard. The integrated TFT display and MyTriumph Bluetooth Connectivity system gives riders turn-by-turn navigation, calls and music control, and there are three rider modes, including a new Sport mode. Triumphs Chief Commercial Officer Paul Stroud said: We first launched the Trident in 2020 with a unique combination of exhilarating triple performance and character, confidence inspiring handling and bold British styling. With its unrivalled overall cost of ownership on top, it proved popular with riders of all ages and experience levels, in markets across the world, and since its launch the Trident has won several major industry awards. The addition of this technology sets the bar for the category yet again. Building on the popularity of the bright, bold colour scheme of our special edition, the Trident Triple Tribute, we are introducing striking new colour schemes in Cosmic Yellow, Cobalt Blue, and Diablo Red, as well as the Jet Black. But the most important factor for our customers, of course, is that the Trident 660 makes every ride seriously fun. TRIPLE ADVANTAGE The Tridents exhilarating performance is delivered by a flexible three-cylinder engine, which combines low-down torque with a strong midrange and an exciting top-end rush. More than 90% of peak torque is delivered from 3,600rpm to 9,750rpm. This gives the rider the best of both worlds compared to a twin or four cylinder engine, by combining the low-down pull and strong midrange of a twin with the high-revving top-end power of a four, as well as the glorious three cylinder soundtrack. Beautifully balanced and easy to ride at all speeds, the thrilling power delivery combined with the slick gearbox and Triumph Shift Assist, makes rapid acceleration seamless and exhilarating. ASSURED HANDLING From the natural riding position to the high-quality suspension and powerful brakes, the Tridents neutral and easy handling is key to its appeal. The Trident 660s accessible seat height of 805mm and overall narrow width makes for confident feet-down manoeuvres and low-speed riding while its innate natural balance, smooth slip and assist clutch and super-clean power delivery, are ideal for busy urban environments. The Trident 660 delivers excellent control from the high specification Showa 41mm upside down forks which have been upgraded with Showas SFF-BF big piston damping for even more comfort and control. Theres also a preload adjustable RSU, also from Showa, powerful Nissin brakes with twin 310mm discs, and grippy Michelin Road 5 tyres. RIDER-FOCUSED TECHNOLOGY New for 2025, the Trident 660 now has a class-leading level of technology, now fitted as standard. Unique in this segment, Optimised Cornering ABS and Traction Control ensures the optimum performance at all lean angles. Using information from the six axis Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) to calculate lean angle, brake pressure and throttle position, the system continuously monitors and adjusts engine and braking parameters to ensure optimum performance and safety under braking and acceleration. Fitted as standard, Triumph Shift Assist allows seamless up and down gear changes without using the clutch, and Cruise Control is included to reduce rider fatigue. Integrated into the instrument dial, a full-colour TFT screen with Bluetooth connectivity adds turn-by-turn navigation and full phone functionality to deliver unrivalled levels of rider convenience. In addition to the existing ride by wire throttle and Road and Rain riding modes, theres now a third Sport mode giving even more responsive and exciting performance from the triple engine. Increasing safety and reliability while eliminating maintenance, the Trident 660 has a distinctive round all-LED headlamp, integrated rear light and self-cancelling indicators for enhanced visibility. UNIQUE STYLING The Tridents unique retro-modern styling, and Triumphs flawless attention to detail throughout, sets it apart from the pack. Its minimal lines and unmistakable muscular stance have been enhanced for 2025 with three bold new colour and graphics schemes. Cosmic Yellow, Cobalt Blue, and Diablo Red catch the eye, complemented by touches of Sapphire Black and striking diagonal white stripes. There is also a more subtle Jet Black colour scheme. Other subtle updates include upgraded materials and finishes, including a new forged aluminum top yoke and forged aluminium brake pedal. EASILY CUSTOMISABLE With 45 Genuine Triumph Accessories to choose from, riders can add protection, comfort, styling, luggage and security to their Trident 660. From heated grips and scrolling indicators to enhance the everyday commute, to preparing for longer trips with a tail pack and tank bag and flyscreen, customers can use the Triumph Configurator to create their own style. With an A2 restrictor kit available in European markets, the Trident 660 can be restricted to meet the requirements of the A2 category licence for younger and new riders. When the owner progresses to a full A licence, the dealer can restore full power, ready for the next stage of the riders journey. ON THE ROAD The Trident 660 offers a best-in-class low cost of ownership. The high build quality and use of only premium materials means service intervals are every 10,000 miles, and owners get the added reassurance of a global two-year, unlimited mileage warranty and excellent residuals when the time comes to trade-in. The Trident 660 will be available from 7,895 OTR. Bikes will be arriving in dealerships from December 2024.

The range-topping Forza 750s bodywork has undergone a taut, angular redesign which exudes dynamic maxi-scooter style. Up front, the new headlight unit with redesigned Daytime Running Lights shows a premium new face, whilst the integrated indicators elevate not only the style but also the visibility - and, ultimately, safety. Rounding out the 25YM visual revisions are new 3-by-3 style 17-inch front and 15-inch rear wheels. Practicality has been enhanced all-round, led by the new styling, which offers improved function in the shape of better wind protection and increased leg room. New running boards also increase rider comfort, whilst the reprofiled seat has been designed to be instantly comfortable whilst ensuring easy ground reach. In common with its adventure sibling the X-ADV, the Forza 750 uses a number of new materials for 2025, as one step towards the achievement of Hondas long-term sustainability aims. There is a greatly increased application of recycled materials, and for the first time the biomass material DurabioTM is used for several bodywork parts. All the upgrades build strongly on the Forza 750s compelling combination of classic Grand Touring (GT) style and comfort mixed with sporty, engaging handling and punchy engine performance. The latter is derived from its torquey, fuel-efficient 745cc twin-cylinder powerplant, which offers adjustable characteristics through three default rider modes and a user defined option. The extensive specification also includes Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC), which for 25YM offers a further refined RAIN mode, and the revised Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT), which features adjustments for smoother handling at slow speeds. The robust tubular steel frame, aluminium swingarm, 41mm USD forks, radial-mount four-piston brake calipers, and Pro-Link rear suspension continue to deliver the sports motorcycle levels of handling that customers expect of any scooter carrying the Forza name. Also upgraded for 2025 are the 25YM Forza 350 and Forza 125, both of which are built at Hondas factory in Atessa, on Italys Adriatic coast. Both have been given new ECU settings, revised catalyser and muffler internals, and a SO2 sensor to ensure they just like the 750 reach EURO5+ compliance. For 25YM, all three Forza models gain a new five-inch TFT screen that offers revised menus and layouts for intuitive control, increased clarity in bright light and easy Honda RoadSync smartphone connectivity through the simplified switchgear on the lefthand bar. Practicality is further boosted for the trio thanks to the relocated USB socket, and a light in the under-seat storage compartment. The extensive specification of Forzas remains central to their appeal, and the 25YM Forza family continues this, with all models featuring an electrically-operated screen that adjusts through 180mm travel to accommodate a wide range of riding scenarios, full LED lighting, HSTC, USB-C connectivity and Smart Key functionality as standard.

The adjustable screen can now be operated one-handed by the rider from a seated position, whilst the larger, redesigned seat offers increased support comfort for the long haul. The standard-fit panniers have also been redesigned, increasing in volume to hold a full-face helmet each. Operation of the electronic rider aids is now improved by the inclusion of a six-axis Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) for more precise control not only of the three-level Honda Selectable Torque Control but also three-level Wheelie Control, Cornering ABS, and Rear Lift Control.

Thu, 22 Aug 2024 00:00:00 BST https://www.suttonmotorcycles.com/triumph/news/25ym-honda-crf1100l-africa-twin The 25YM CRF1100L Africa Twin carries a strong focus on core off-road ability, with the look and feel of a slim rally machine. Its 1,084cc parallel twin cylinder engine produces peak torque of 112Nm with peak power of 75kW. Two options are available: The CRF1100L Africa Twin, with standard Showa suspension, and the CRF1100L Africa Twin ES, which features Showa Electronically Equipped Ride Adjustment (Showa EERA). Showa EERA offers optimised damping in all riding conditions, as well as the ability to change rear spring preload on the move. The CRF1100L Africa Twin ES also includes an ACC charging socket and heated grips as standard, just like its CRF1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sports sibling. Both Africa Twin variants share a rugged steel frame, CRF450R-derived aluminium swingarm, chassis geometry, suspension travel and ground clearance. Tubeless tyres allow for easier repairs without the need to remove the wheel. A six-axis Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) controls not only the 7-level HSTC but also 3-level Wheelie Control, Cornering ABS (with off-road setting), Rear Lift Control and DCT cornering detection. There are four default riding modes: URBAN, TOUR, GRAVEL and OFF-ROAD. Tailored for complete control, the riding position features a slim section seat, and high-set handlebars. Dual LED Daytime Running Lights (DRL) give optimum visibility, improving safety and Cruise Control is a standard fit. Also, to make long-range road riding more comfortable, the aggressively styled front fairing mounts a 5-way adjustable screen for maximum forward visibility or increased wind protection depending on rider choice. A full colour Multi Information Display (MID) 6.5-inch TFT touch screen brings immersive engagement with the machines systems, plus Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and Bluetooth connectivity. The 25YM CRF1100L Africa Twin will be available in three paint options that all feature bold new graphics: Grand Prix Red Matt Ballistic Black Metallic Pearl Glare White with **NEW** Pearl Hawkseye Blue Metallic Tricolour (only available on the CRF1100L Africa Twin ES) Chassis Option of Showa Electronically Equipped Ride Adjustment (Showa EERATM) suspension; standard Showa suspension remains available Lightweight frame, with bolt-on aluminium subframe and light, rigid CRF450R-style swingarm for outstanding rear wheel traction and feel Six-axis Bosch IMU control; cornering ABS provides sure-footed braking and features an off-road setting 21/18-inch wheels mount tubeless tyres The Showa Electronically Equipped Ride Adjustment (Showa EERA) was specifically developed for the CRF1100L Africa Twin ES. Proven on the Africa Twin Adventure Sports and featuring the same stroke as the standard bike (230mm front/220mm rear), the system automatically provides optimum damping force relative to the stroke speed. It adjusts the damping level based on information from three sources: bike speed (from the ECU), the bikes stance and attitude (from the Inertial Measurement Unit) and the fork behaviour (from the stroke sensor). The Suspension Control Unit adjusts suspension behaviour within a mere 15 milliseconds (0.015 seconds) of these calculations being made. The systems flexibility means that damping adjustment can be programmed to change as the vehicle speed changes allowing firmer damping at higher speeds, for example. In addition, it can adapt to specific circumstances such as preparing the bikes suspension for landing from a jump or reducing dive under hard braking. The 24YM update included the option to adjust the rear preload between four modes; rider, rider with luggage, rider with passenger and rider with passenger and luggage, on the move at the touch of a button. Quite simply, Showa EERA means the rider can select low-speed ride comfort, high speed stability, sporting on-road performance and off-road response at the touch of the screen. Five suspension modes are available: MID sits between hard and soft, for easy handling in a wide range of situations. It is automatically selected with Urban riding mode. HARD is stable, responsive and the firmest damping for two-up and fully laden touring. It is automatically selected with Tour riding mode. SOFT offers a comfortable, secure ride on poor roads with lowest damping force. It is automatically selected with Gravel riding mode. OFF-ROAD gives optimum dirt performance, with gradually increasing fork damping relative to stroke speed and firmer all-round rear shock damping. It is automatically selected with Off-road riding mode. Whereas the above suspension settings are automatically selected according to the riding mode, in USER riding mode, the rider can adjust spring preload finely, through 24 steps, front and rear. The standard fully adjustable Showa setup is also available; the 45mm cartridge-type inverted front forks offer long-travel bump absorption with internal damping settings that provide high-quality on and off-road performance. A cast aluminium top yoke and forged bottom yoke, joined by hollow aluminium stem shaft, clamp the fork legs with two bolts each top and bottom. The Showa rear shock features a 46mm cylinder and remote reservoir for stable damping control in even the most extreme off-road riding conditions. Spring preload can be adjusted via a dial on the shock body. The strength and rigidity balance of the steel semi-double cradle frame revolves around outstanding off-road ability at the same time reinforcing its all-round on-road manners. Rigidity around the steering head is optimised to enhance feel for front end grip; the main spars are slim and straight with no front cross pipe. Ground clearance is 250mm, with wheelbase of 1575mm and rake and trail of 27.5/113mm. Wet weight is 231kg and 233kg for the ES (DCT 242kg/244kg). A bolt-on aluminium subframe allows the CRF1100L Africa Twin to be narrow under the rider, at only 195mm which is crucial for easy ground reach. The lightweight aluminium swingarm taking its direction from the design used by the CRF450R maximises rear wheel traction and rider feel. The swingarm pivot points inner plates use 600MPa high-strength steel and the upper cross tube that connects them acts as the rear shock upper mount (through a pillow-ball joint) improving feel for rear wheel traction. At the very heart of the Africa Twins all-round performance is a Bosch MM7.10 six-axis Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) tucked away at the centre of the machine, that measures in real-time roll angle/rate, pitch angle/rate and yaw angle/rate. It aids the management of rear wheel traction via TBW and HSTC, front braking grip through cornering ABS, front wheel lift through Wheelie Control and also adds Rear Lift Control. It is also integral to the functioning of the EERATM suspension. The IMU takes in lean angle, deceleration (from front/rear wheel speed sensors) and incorporates the slip rate of the front and rear wheels to manage braking pressure through the ABS; likewise if it detects sudden rear wheel lift, it finely controls brake force to maintain stability. There is an off-road ABS setting and, when stationary the rear ABS can be cancelled completely for off-road riding if required. Compact two-piece radial-mount four-piston calipers work dual 310mm wavy floating discs through sintered pads. The rear 256mm wavy disc features specific hole punching and shaping for optimal rear wheel control. 21-inch front and 18-inch rear (stainless steel) spoked wheels wear 90/90-21 and 150/70-18 tubeless tyres, which allow for easier repairs without the need to remove the wheel. Metzeler Karoo Street 90/90-21M/C 54H and 150/70-19-R18M/C 70H are approved as OEM tyres. Block pattern Michelin Anakee Wild 90/90-21M/C 54R TL and 150/70-18M/C 70R TL tyres are also approved for fitment. Engine 1,084cc, twin-cylinder engine generates 112Nm peak torque, with strong performance in the low to mid-rpm range 75kW peak power Unicam 8-valve head, semi-dry sump and slipper clutch With the 24YM updates concentrating on increasing torque in the most-used low, mid and upper mid-range, the 1,084cc, 8-valve parallel-twin engine produces 75kW @ 7,500rpm with peak torque of 112Nm @5,500rpm. Bore is set at 92mm with 81.5mm stroke and compression ratio of 10.5:1. 35mm airbox intake ducts draw air to twin, length-optimised internal trumpets. 46mm throttle bodies feed the inlet ports and the bore and cylinder pitches are aligned to create a smooth air intake profile. The injector angle delivers a direct spray into the twin-spark combustion chambers. Hondas SOHC Unicam valve train is a feature of the MX competition-specification CRF450R, and the low-set position of the cast camshaft contributes to the compact nature of the cylinder head and entire engine package; inlet valves are 10.1mm in diameter, exhaust valves 9.3mm. Aluminium cylinder sleeves save weight while the 270 phased crankshaft and uneven firing interval create the engines desirable signature throb and character. The 24YM updates saw the introduction of a reshape of the 270 crankshaft, reshaped and reinforced conrod and 0.4mm longer piston, which also featured a reshaped piston surface crown for optimal ignition and engine performance. The crankcases are split horizontally; the water pump is housed efficiently within the clutch casing with a thermostat integrated into the cylinder head. Manual and DCT versions of the engine share common crankcases with only minor external differences; the water and oil pumps are both driven by the engines balancer shafts. The engine features a semi-dry sump design with in-tank lower crankcase oil storage. This allows a lower pan depth that keeps overall engine height low. As the pressure-fed pump is located within the tank where it delivers its oil from, there is no need for a pressure-feed passage. Secondary vibrations are neutralised by the mutually reciprocating motion of the pistons, while primary inertial and coupling vibrations are cancelled by the use of biaxial balance shafts. The aluminium clutch centre and pressure plate use assist cams to ease upshifts and slipper cams for deceleration and downshifting. The six-speed manual gearbox uses the same shift-cam design as found on the CRF450R to ensure positive changes. The exhaust muffler, also updated for 24YM with increased lower pipe diameter, and revised internal structure, delivers enhanced engine performance in the low and mid-range and gives a pleasing exhaust pulse at lower rpm, and more bass-fuelled note at high-rpm. Engine & Chassis Management Electronics IMU-managed HSTC intervention levels allow focus on off-road use Wheelie Control features 3 levels and IMU management Four riding modes: TOUR, URBAN, GRAVEL and OFF-ROAD Two USER modes allow for complete customisation Throttle By Wire (TBW) management and the six-axis Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) are at the heart of the electronic package. The system offers 4 levels of power and 3 levels of engine braking. There are seven levels of Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) with each levels amount of intervention being optimised to work with real-time input from the IMU. The spacing of the levels is optimised to allow the rider a finer choice of the amount of rear tyre slide for off-road riding. HSTC can also be turned off completely. Wheelie Control is another feature. With the IMU measuring pitch angle and rate, and controlling engine torque via TBW, the rider can choose between 3 levels of input. Level 1 allows for intended wheel lift but suppresses any sudden movement. Level 3 stops any front wheel elevation and level 2 is mid-way between the two. Like HSTC, Wheelie Control can also be turned off completely. There are four default riding mode settings: TOUR, URBAN, GRAVEL and OFF-ROAD to cover most riding conditions and situations plus two further customisable USER settings. Even within the default riding modes, its possible to change some parameters HSTC between levels 1-7 (plus off), Wheelie Control between levels 1-3 (plus off) and DCT S mode shift pattern levels 1-3. TOUR employs the highest level of Power (1), for touring with pillion and luggage plus mid-range Engine Braking (2) with active on-road Cornering ABS. URBAN suits wide-ranging riding requirements and uses mid-level Power (2) and Engine Braking (2) with active on-road Cornering ABS. GRAVEL delivers the lowest level of Power (4) and Engine Braking (3). Cornering ABS is active with an off-road setting; in this setting, the rear brake ABS cannot be switched off. OFF-ROAD uses lower-mid level Power (3) and the lowest amount of Engine Braking (3). Cornering ABS is active with an off-road setting; the rear brake ABS can be switched off. USER 1 & 2 modes offer the rider a choice of two distinct personalized setups - choosing between Power levels 1-4 and Engine Braking 1-3, plus HSTC, Wheelie Control and ABS (on-road/off-road) parameters. USER 1 starts out with level 2 Power and Engine Braking, USER 2 uses level 4 Power and 3 Engine Braking. The power delivery characteristics remain consistent across all Rider Modes, delivering lower levels of power, depending on Power Mode, in the same way. At low speeds, the power delivery in 1st and 2nd gears is the same across all Power Modes for optimum rider control and confidence. Dual Clutch Transmission Easy and direct system offers super-fast gear changes in either Manual Transmission (MT) or Automatic D and S modes Smooth, natural feel when first moving away and at low speed S mode (with 3 levels) revs higher and downshifts sooner than D, for more aggressive riding G Switch offers more feel for traction off-road Incline detection adapts shift pattern depending on gradient IMU allows corning detection function for improved shift timings Honda has sold over 251,000 DCT-equipped motorcycles across Europe since the system first appeared as an option on the VFR1200F in 2009. Testament to its acceptance in the marketplace, in 2023 DCT versions of CRF1100L Africa Twin accounted for 41% of the models sales, rising to 63% for the Africa Twin Adventure Sports. The CRF1100L Africa Twins DCT gives a natural, feathered clutch feel on initial take-off and at low speed thanks to a 24YM update that optimised the hydraulic control for better, more linear clutch response across all modes. It also benefitted from updated shift schedules to match the increased engine performance. The system also makes use of the engines torque, shifting down earlier. It also uses cornering detection when the IMU recognises the bike is leant over it subtly adjusts the shifting programme for the most natural gear changes. DCT delivers consistent, super-fast seamless gear changes, and very quickly becomes second nature in use. It uses two clutches: one for start-up and 1st, 3rd and 5th gears: the other for 2nd, 4th and 6th, with the mainshaft for each clutch located inside the other for compact packaging. Each clutch is independently controlled by its own electro-hydraulic circuit. When a gear change occurs, the system pre-selects the target gear using the clutch not currently in use. The first clutch is then electronically disengaged as, simultaneously, the second clutch engages. The result is a consistent, fast and seamless gear change. Furthermore, as the twin clutches transfer drive from one gear to the next with minimal interruption of the drive to the rear wheel, any gear change shock and pitching of the machine is minimised, making the change feel direct as well as smooth. The extra benefits of durability (as the gears cannot be damaged by missing a gear), impossibility of stalling, low stress urban riding, reduced rider fatigue and greater ability to focus on cornering lines and braking points add to DCTs appeal. Three modes of operation are available. MT mode gives full manual control, allowing the rider to shift with the handlebar trigger control buttons. Automatic D mode is ideal for city and highway riding and achieves optimum fuel efficiency. Automatic S mode offers three levels of sportier riding, with the ECU making the engine rev a little higher before shifting up, and shift down sooner when decelerating for extra engine braking. In either D or S mode, DCT offers immediate manual intervention if required the rider simply selects the required gear using the up and down shift triggers on the left handlebar. At an appropriate time, DCT seamlessly reverts to automatic mode, depending on throttle angle, vehicle speed and gear position. DCT for the CRF1100L Africa Twin is also fully equipped to operate in an adventure environment, with off-road functionality enhanced by the G switch accessed via the TFT touch screen display. Activating the G switch in any riding mode improves the feel for available traction and machine control by reducing the amount of clutch slip during gear changes. Further functionality for the DCT system comes in the form of incline detection, adapting the gear shift pattern depending on the grade of an incline to provide optimum control. Styling & Equipment 5-way height adjustable screen and upper fairing extend on-road comfort Africa Twin ES equipped with heated grips and ACC charging socket Compact body style designed for off-road, with slim seat and high handlebars Multi Information Display (MID) 6.5-inch TFT touch screen, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatible Bluetooth connectivity, Daytime Running Lights (DRL) and Cruise Control Aggressive and compact. Two words that sum up the CRF1100L Africa Twins taut rally-style bodywork. And its for a reason to work better off-road. A 5-stage height adjustable screen makes longer road rides, or commuting in and out of town, more comfortable. The CRF1100L Africa Twin ES also gets heated grips and an ACC charging socket as standard for increased practicality. Seat height adjusts between two settings, 850/870mm and the high-set handlebars give an upright, high-visibility riding position and comfortable control, whether standing or seated. The tail section is extremely slim, and the narrow seat is carefully contoured to allow good ground reach and easy back and forth movement while an aluminium rear carrier is standard fit for convenient carrying ability. Holding 18.8L, the fuel tank offers a potential range of over 380km, thanks to fuel economy of 4.9L/100km 20.5km/l in both MT and DCT (WMTC mode). Dual LED headlights are set high, delivering a penetrating beam, and feature Daytime Running Lights (DRL) that automatically adjust to ambient light intensity, improving safety, no matter the conditions. Knuckle guards are standard. The full colour Multi Information Display (MID) 6.5-inch TFT touch screen keeps the rider in control of all of the CRF1100L Africa Twins systems, with each of the riding modes selectable through the top left of the screen. The MID can also be customised to show various levels of information relative to the riding mode chosen and is easy to use even when wearing gloves. The MID also incorporates Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, allowing use of a smartphone through the touchscreen. Navigation apps can also be accessed and displayed, and, via a Bluetooth helmet headset, calls can be made or received. The smartphone itself plugs into a USB charging port on the right of the MID. Hands-free wireless Bluetooth connectivity is also an option and all control inputs are made from the left-hand switchgear. The front and rear indicators have an Emergency Stop Signal (ESS) function. When braking suddenly over 50kph the hazard lights flash to warn other road users a hard stop is in process. They also auto-cancel; rather than using a simple timer, the system compares front and rear wheel speed difference and calculates when to cancel the indication relative to the situation. The auto-cancel feature can be switched off and standard-fit cruise control eases long-distance highway travel. A new high-performance, lightweight and compact lithium-ion battery is standard fit, contributing to mass centralisation. Accessories Huge range of Genuine Honda Accessories ready to go, from tank pads to full Pannier/Top Box luggage solutions and each a perfect fit for the Africa Twin Accessories are available individually or in dedicated accessory packs Rally, Adventure, Urban and Travel Packs make perfect customisation easy For a bike like the Africa Twin which is going to cover a lot of ground, on or off-road accessories really matter to an owner.

Tue, 30 Jul 2024 00:00:00 BST https://www.suttonmotorcycles.com/triumph/news/25ym-honda-crf1100l-africa-twin-adventure-sports The 25YM CRF1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sports shares the frame and engine of the more off-road focussed CRF1100L Africa Twin but has a role very much of its own: to offer riders real continent-crossing long-haul ability and practicality both on- and off-road. For strong acceleration, especially for when two-up and fully loaded, the 1,084cc parallel twin cylinder engine produces peak torque of 112Nm with peak power of 75kW. Showa EERA suspension offers optimum constantly adjusted damping control. Four default modes SOFT, MID, HARD and OFF-ROAD cover every type of riding situation, and theres a USER mode for further fine-tuning on the move. Rear spring preload can also be adjusted while moving. The 19-inch front wheel wears a 110/80-19 tyre, delivering impressive front grip and feedback for better on-road stability and comfort when fully loaded; suspension stroke, front and rear is set at 210/200mm, also for improved on-road handling ability and confident ground reach. Long-range touring credentials come in the shape of a large 24.8L fuel tank, extensive wind protection, 5-way height-adjustable screen, large engine sump guard, aluminium rear carrier plus tubeless wheels and tyres. An ACC charger and heated grips are standard fit. DCT gives a natural feel from initial pull-away and at very low speeds. A six-axis Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) controls not only the 7-level HSTC but also 3-level Wheelie Control, Cornering ABS (with off-road setting), Rear Lift Control and DCT cornering detection. There are four default riding modes: URBAN, TOUR, GRAVEL and OFF-ROAD. Tailored for complete control, the riding position features a slim section seat and high-set handlebars. Seat height is set at 835/855mm. Dual LED Daytime Running Lights (DRL) feature three-stage Cornering Lights that automatically adjust the field of illumination depending on the lean angle, giving optimum visibility for improved safety. Cruise control and heated grips are standard-fit. A full colour Multi Information Display (MID) 6.5-inch TFT touch screen brings immersive engagement with the machines systems, plus Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and Bluetooth connectivity. The 25YM CRF1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sports will be available in two paint options, both featuring bold new graphics, with the Pearl Glare White (Tricolour) paying homage to the iconic tricolour colour schemes of the XRV750 Africa Twin. **NEW** Matt Iridium Gray Metallic Pearl Glare White (Tricolour) Key Features Chassis Showa Electronically Equipped Ride Adjustment (Showa EERA) suspension 19-inch front wheel mounts a 110/80-19 tyre Lightweight frame, with bolt-on aluminium subframe and light, rigid CRF450R-style swingarm for outstanding rear wheel traction and feel Six-axis Bosch IMU control; cornering ABS provides sure-footed braking and features an off-road setting Showa Electronically Equipped Ride Adjustment (Showa EERA) suspension is standard fit. The system automatically provides optimum damping force relative to the stroke speed. It works by adjusting the damping level based on information from three sources: bike speed (from the ECU), the bikes stance and attitude (from the Inertial Measurement Unit) and the fork behaviour (from the stroke sensor). The Suspension Control Unit adjusts suspension behaviour within a mere 15 milliseconds (0.015 seconds) of these calculations being made. The systems flexibility means that damping adjustment can be programmed to change as the vehicle speed changes allowing firmer damping at higher speeds, for example. In addition, it can adapt to specific circumstances such as preparing the bikes suspension for landing from a jump or reducing dive under hard braking. The 24YM update included the option to adjust the rear preload between four modes; rider, rider with luggage, rider with passenger and rider with passenger and luggage, on the move at the touch of a button. Quite simply, Showa EERA suspension means the rider can select low-speed ride comfort, high speed stability, sporting on-road performance and off-road response at the touch of the screen. Five suspension modes are available: MID sits between hard and soft, for easy handling in a wide range of situations. It is automatically selected with Urban riding mode. HARD is stable, responsive and the firmest damping for two-up and fully laden touring. It is automatically selected with Tour riding mode. SOFT offers a comfortable, secure ride on poor roads with lowest damping force. It is automatically selected with Gravel riding mode. OFF-ROAD gives optimum dirt performance, with gradually increasing fork damping relative to stroke speed and firmer all-round rear shock damping. It is automatically selected with Off-road riding mode. Whereas the above suspension settings are automatically selected according to the riding mode, in USER Riding Mode, the rider can adjust spring preload finely, through 24 steps, front and rear. Suspension stroke is 210/200mm, for a low centre of gravity and improved slow-speed manoeuvrability and ground reach. The design of the steel semi-double cradle frame mixes off-road ability with excellent, all-round on-road manners. Rigidity around the steering head is optimised to enhance feel for front end grip; the main spars are slim and straight with no front cross pipe. A bolt-on aluminium subframe saves weight. Ground clearance is 220mm (30mm less than CRF1100L Africa Twin), with wheelbase of 1550mm and rake and trail of 27.5 /106mm (from 1574mm/27.5/113mm). Wet weight is 243kg (253kg for the DCT option). The lightweight aluminium swingarm taking its direction from the design used by the CRF450R maximises rear wheel traction and rider feel. The swingarm pivot points inner plates use 600MPa high-strength steel and the upper cross tube that connects them acts as the rear shock upper mount (through a pillow-ball joint) improving feel for rear wheel traction.

There is an off-road ABS setting and, when stationary the rear ABS can be turned off completely for off-road riding if required. Up front, compact two-piece radial-mount four-piston calipers work dual 310mm wavy floating discs through sintered pads. The rear 256mm wavy disc features hole punching and shaping for optimal rear wheel control. 19-inch front and 18-inch rear (stainless steel) spoked wheels wear 110/80R19M/C 59V and 150/70-R18M/C 70H tubeless tyres, which allow for easier repairs without the need to remove the wheel, provide increased front end grip, improved response and rider feedback, plus high speed comfort and increased stability under braking. Bridgestone Battlax Adventure A41 are approved as OEM tyres. Block pattern tyres (Michelin Anakee Wild 110/80R19M/C 59R TL and 150/70 18M/C 70R TL) are also approved for fitment.

At an appropriate time, DCT seamlessly reverts to automatic mode, depending on throttle angle, vehicle speed and gear position. DCT for the CRF1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sports is also fully equipped to operate in an adventure environment, with off-road functionality enhanced by the G switch accessed via the TFT touch screen display. Activating the G switch in any riding mode improves the feel for available traction and machine control by reducing the amount of clutch slip during gear changes. Further functionality for the DCT system comes in the form of incline detection, by means of which the gear shift pattern is adapted depending on the grade of an incline to provide optimum control. Styling & Equipment Muscular upper fairing provides ample wind protection Compact, 5-way height-adjustable screen 24.8L fuel tank, aluminium insert panels, rear rack and engine bash plate Daytime Running Lights (DRL) with Cornering Lights Cruise control, heated grips and ACC charger Multi Information Display (MID) 6.5-inch TFT touch screen Apple CarPlay and Android Auto allow use of a smartphone through the MID Designed for the long-range ride, the 24YM CRF1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sports has an extensive front fairing, designed to provide excellent upper body wind deflection and aerodynamics. It mounts a compact, 5-level height adjustable screen that opens vision while still offering plenty of protection. The seat uses optimised foam density to reduce long-distance riding fatigue. Tool-free height adjustment is 835 or 855mm. There is also a Low Seat accessory, which drops seat height down to 795/815mm. Holding 24.8L, the fuel tank offers a potential range of over 500km, thanks to fuel economy of 4.9L/100km (20.5km/L) (WMTC mode). A large engine sump guard and aluminium rear carrier are included in the specification. Dual LED headlights are set high, delivering a penetrating beam and feature Daytime Running Lights (DRL) that automatically adjust to ambient light intensity, improving safety, no matter the conditions. For additional security three-stage Cornering Lights use speed and lean angle (controlled by the IMU) to automatically adjust and illuminate the inside left or right area when cornering. Large knuckle guards are standard fitment. The full colour Multi Information Display (MID) 6.5-inch TFT touch screen keeps the rider in control, with each of the riding modes selectable through the top left of the screen. The MID can also be customised to show various levels of information relative to the riding mode chosen and is easy to use even when wearing gloves. The MID incorporates Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, allowing use of a smartphone through the touchscreen. Navigation apps can also be accessed and displayed and, via a Bluetooth helmet headset, calls can be made or received. The smartphone itself plugs into a USB charging port on the right of the MID. Hands-free wireless Bluetooth connectivity is also an option and all control inputs are made from the left-hand switchgear. The front and rear indicators have an Emergency Stop Signal (ESS) function. When braking suddenly over 50kph the hazard lights flash to warn other road users a hard stop is in process. They also auto-cancel; rather than using a simple timer, the system compares front and rear wheel speed difference and calculates when to cancel the indication relative to the situation. The auto-cancel feature can be switched off and standard-fit cruise control eases long-distance highway travel. A new high-performance, lightweight and compact lithium-ion battery is standard fit, contributing to mass centralisation.

Its been almost four decades since the Honda XRV650 Africa Twin first rolled into Europe and while the motorcycle that now bears its name first launched for 16YM as the CRF1000L Africa Twin was a brand-new machine from the wheels up, it fully inherited the essence and spirit of what made the original so popular. Mechanically unchanged for 25YM, the CRF1100L Africa Twin retains its core off-road abilities, with the look and feel of a slim rally machine.

Identical in every other way to the current Street Triple 765 R, with its Moto2TM derived performance and handling, this A2 compliant variant has a revised 765cc triple engine with a lower 70 kW power output, and an accessory restrictor kit can be fitted to reduce the power output to 35 kW, meeting A2 licence requirements. Once the rider has gained their full A licence, the restrictor kit can be easily removed by a Triumph dealer to restore the bike to its unrestricted 70kW power. There are many new riders who cannot wait to jump on a naked sports bike with an aggressive attitude and high specification components. And now they dont need to wait, said Triumphs Chief Commercial Officer Paul Stroud. This Street Triple 765 R variant is a welcome addition to our A2 compliant range, bringing performance, style and precise handling, as well as our trademark triple soundtrack, to A2 licence holders across UK & Europe. The current Street Triple 765 R first arrived in dealerships in 2023, featuring engine upgrades derived directly from the Moto2TM race engine programme, which resulted in a significant step up in performance, with increased torque and improved responsiveness. With its aggressive styling, enhanced ergonomics and highest ever specification, this latest generation Street Triple 765 is performing well on the international stage. ENHANCED ERGONOMICS With its focused and commanding riding position, Moto2TM derived 765cc engine, gullwing swingarm and agile chassis, the Street Triple 765 R is an exciting ride for younger and newer riders, delivering the thrill of the performance naked sports set-up with a precise, predictable, confidence-inspiring ride.

Fitted as standard, the up and down quickshifter is the ideal aid for track and fast road riding. Upshifts can be made without closing the throttle for a smooth, fast shift, while downshifts can be made without the use of the clutch and without the need to blip the throttle to match the gear and engine speeds, facilitating smooth and controlled deceleration into corners. In addition, the slip and assist clutch ensures a light and consistent lever feel for enhanced comfort, and control on the road, particularly useful during an urban commute.

Thu, 18 Jul 2024 00:00:00 BST https://www.suttonmotorcycles.com/triumph/news/honda-25ym-msx125-grom Hondas pocket-sized funster rides into 2024 with crisp, bold new style for its quick-detach body panels, three fresh new paint options and for the first time, a range of official Honda accessories. Specification includes SOHC 2-valve air-cooled engine, five-speed gearbox, 31mm USD forks, IMU-controlled hydraulic disc braking, LED headlight and LCD dash. 1. Introduction Easy to use, fun and functional, the original leisure motorcycle was defined by Honda in 1963 with the iconic, small-wheeled Monkey bike. Its spirit carried on and has been reimagined for each respective generation, most recently with the 13YM MSX125, the reborn 18YM Monkey and the 22YM DAX. And in the 21st century the formula has found resonance with the new breed of young riders. Known as Dek Neaw in Thailand and Street-Kei in Japan, they have grown up in the borderless internet age, and share a culture, outlook and spirit that defies convention. Instinctively drawn to motorcycling, they need their first two-wheeled transport to be exciting but not unduly challenging, with a design that sets them apart and a reasonable price tag. In 13YM Honda introduced the MSX125 (Mini Street X-treme 125) to cater specifically for such young riders. Always known as the Grom in Japan and USA, the MSX125 added that same title its European name for 21YM. A truly global product, the Grom has been a hit across the world since its introduction and has established itself as a firm favourite, whether used for simple urban transport or as a heavily customised style statement by its target market. 21YM saw the Grom gain a new, retro style direction and 5-speed gearbox, improving top speed. The 25YM, while mechanically unchanged, sees the MSX125 Grom roll out with redesigned body work, new paint options and a host of genuine Honda accessories. As ever, it is the little bike that dreams big. 2. Model Overview Replacing the retro style of the previous design, is a new, sportier look. The sharply-defined fuel tank cover features knee cutouts, and flows neatly into restyled side panels whilst a new sporty undercowl completes the visual enhancement. Equipment level is high: the LCD dash includes rev-counter and gear position indicator while the headlight is LED. The Groms 125cc, SOHC 2-valve air-cooled engine maintains usable, real-world performance and drives through a 5-speed gearbox for more relaxed long-range riding. The tried and tested chassis continues to employ 31mm USD forks and 12-inch wheels to offer small-bike dimensions with big-bike suspension control and handling qualities. IMU-controlled disc braking provides an extra layer of riding confidence. The 24YM MSX125 Grom will be available in the following colour options: Candy Blue Pearl White Matte Black Metallic 3. Key Features 3.1 Styling & Equipment New bodywork with inimitable individuality Easy custom potential LCD dash includes rev counter and gear position indicator Pared down, with a more mass-forward stance and knee cut outs, the MSX125 Groms fuel tank covers have a newfound, more aggressive attitude echoed by the restyled side panels and new sporting undercowl, complemented by the sleek LED headlight, minimal seat unit and subframe. And, influenced by customers ongoing efforts to make their bike unique, the MSX125 Grom is designed around the concept of adaptability and easy customisation. The bodywork remains easy to detach, and also offers much more surface area for an owner to express individuality with the application of stickers, graphics or wraps. The new Grom logo takes pride of place up front. The gold finish to the USD front forks stands out in bright contrast to the blacked-out engine, exhaust, wheels and swingarm. Easy to read for its compact size, the LCD digital dash includes a rev-counter and gear position indicator, alongside the speedometer, twin trip meters, fuel gauge and clock. Resetting of the trip meters and clock, or alternation between odometer and trip meter, is managed by the switches either side of the display. 3.2 Engine 125cc, air-cooled fuel-injected two-valve engine 7.2kW peak power/10.5Nm torque and 66.6km/l (WMTC mode) Five-speed gearbox for high-speed cruising The 125cc, two-valve air-cooled engine uses a 50mm bore and 63.1mm stroke, with a compression ratio of 10.0:1. Peak power of 7.2kW arrives at 7,250rpm, with peak torque of 10.5Nm at 5,500rpm. It packs a perfect blend of zippy roll-on performance with useful, accessible all-round ability. Really, this unit all about the fun of twisting a throttle: the five-speed gearbox amplifies the pleasure (and usability) and allows top speed of 94km/h. Manual clutch operation imparts a full-sized motorcycle experience, while the 15T gearbox sprocket, 38T final drive sprocket and 12-inch wheels deliver lively around-town response plus the ability to travel slowly in a high gear perfect for threading easily through tight traffic. Its also economical, returning 65.7km/l (WMTC mode) by using low-friction technologies, such as an offset cylinder and roller-rocker arm for the valve gear. Sophisticated PGM-FI guarantees highly efficient combustion and works in conjunction with both air intake and exhaust to deliver an involving experience at the throttle. A large, 2.5L airbox and panel-type, wet paper filter provides reliable and quiet airflow; the filter itself has a life of 10,000 miles. The exhaust downpipe and muffler are two separate parts. 3.3 Chassis Steel mono-backbone frame provides central strength; 761mm seat height Quality suspension performance from 31mm USD forks and rear monoshock 12-inch wheel rims, hydraulic disc brakes front and rear; ABS controlled by Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) A steel mono-backbone frame ensures core strength. Its rigid, square-section tube joins the headstock directly to the swingarm pivot plates and every other part in effect hangs visibly from the frame, greatly contributing to the minimalist look. Specifically tuned vertical/ horizontal rigidity and flex in the swingarm pivot and engine hanger plates provides the perfect balance of comfort and confidence. The frame structure also enables efficient storage of PGM-FI-related components and electrical parts inside the tank cover, whilst retaining its 6.0L fuel capacity. Wheelbase is a snug 1200mm, with rake and trail of 25/ 81mm. Kerb weight is 103kg. A low 761mm seat height makes the MSX125 Grom very manageable; its size also ensures that motorhome owners find it easy to load/ unload, transport and use. Suspension front and rear delivers beyond class quality. The 31mm USD fork reduces unsprung weight and thanks to the pistons greater pressure-bearing area (compared to a standard telescopic fork) offers improved damping feel throughout the stroke. The top and bottom yokes are full-sized, further enhancing handling and rider feel while a lightweight and robust single rear shock operates a simple and tough H-shape, 50mm x 25mm steel box section swingarm. Fundamental to the MSX Groms form and function are its 5-spoke 12-inch cast aluminium wheels, which feature 2.5-inch wide rims. Front 120/70-12 and 130/70-12 rear tyres also inject dynamic looks and performance. Hydraulic dual piston front and single piston rear brake calipers work front 220mm and rear 190mm discs, the ABS system operating through the IMU to minimise rear lift. 4. Accessories New for the 25YM MSX125 is a full range of genuine Honda, which have also been grouped into two customer focused packs. Comfort Pack: The Comfort Pack has been designed to enhance rider comfort, especially in adverse weather conditions and colder days. Knuckle Visors, finished in black, divert travelling air away from the riders hands and forearms while the dark tinted Meter Visor provides ample cover for the chest and shoulder areas. Travel Pack The Travel pack adds the maximum carrying capacity to the MSX125 Grom, transforming the bike into a significantly more versatile motorcycle. Exclusively designed Saddle Bags offer a combined 10L of carrying volume. Contents are protected by a practical waterproof inner liner, and each bag is equipped with handle and straps for easy carrying when not mounted to the bike. The Rear Carrier also forms part of the Travel Pack and makes a convenient luggage base for the attachment of larger items. Individual Items All items included in the two packs can also be acquired separately as individual items, together with a practical Rear Seat Bag that offers a further 15L of carrying capacity, expandable to 22L, and comes complete with a rain cover and carrying handle. Please note these images featurea US specification model and a Cherry Red colour option which is not sold in Europe. EU specification includes undercowl. Tue, 09 Jul 2024 00:00:00 BST https://www.suttonmotorcycles.com/triumph/news/triumph-unveils-bonneville-t120-elvis-presley-limited-edition Triumph Motorcycles reveals stunning T120 Elvis Presley Limited Edition Exclusive numbered limited edition, only 925 available worldwide Celebrating Elvis and the fascinating tale of his Memphis Mafia Bonnevilles, Triumph Motorcycles has revealed a stunning T120 Elvis Presley Limited Edition. Combining authentic style, performance and modern capability, with a beautifully detailed design scheme, this distinctive T120 takes styling cues from Elvis most iconic 68 Comeback Special performance. Unmistakable ELVIS gold lettering, representing set lights, together with Elvis Presleys signature, feature prominently on the tank and side panels, while die-hard fans will find fascinating Elvis discoverables on the bike, including a discreet Taking Care of Business in a Flash emblem. This was a personal mantra that captured his work ethic and the design featured on the necklace presented to each of his Memphis Mafia. The rich Carnival Red colour scheme was inspired by the J Daar custom Bonneville created to raise money for the Elvis Presley Charitable Foundation in 2023. And just like the Bonneville T120 TT which featured in Comedy Western Stay Away Joe and the Bonnevilles which were gifted to the Memphis Mafia in 1965, the modern T120 retains the iconic Bonneville DNA, timeless silhouette and distinctive sculpted tank that so impressed Elvis. Bonneville tank stripes in Aluminium Silver beautifully complement the striped mudguards, accentuated by hand-painted gold line detailing. A deep, high-quality chrome finish has been applied to carefully selected parts, including the sweeping twin skin exhaust with classic peashooter silencers, adding lustrous detail to this iconic model. This special collaboration offers motorcycle and music fans an unprecedented opportunity to own their own piece of the Elvis and Triumph legend. Limited to 925 worldwide, the bikes feature a special numbered handlebar clamp with laser etched Elvis Presley signature, and each one will be presented along with a Sony gold disc, in an exclusive Elvis Presley and Triumph Motorcycles record sleeve, encasing a bespoke certificate of authenticity, signed by Triumphs CEO Nick Bloor and Jamie Salter, Founder, Chairman and CEO of ABG, Elvis Presley Enterprises. Its been incredible to see the customer reaction to the custom Bonneville that raised so much for charity earlier this year, and our search for the Memphis Mafia Bonnevilles, which has unearthed wonderful glimpses into the past, said Triumphs Chief Commercial Officer Paul Stroud. With so much interest in the story so far, were confident our passionate customers will be thrilled at the chance to own this magnificent tribute to the biggest selling solo artist in history, when it arrives in dealerships in July. MEMPHIS MAFIA BONNEVILLES Elvis' introduction to Triumph Motorcycles was in 1965 while taking a break from filming and spending time with his closest friends, known as the 'Memphis Mafia', at his Bel Air home. Friend Jerry Schilling had ordered a new Triumph T120 Bonneville and Elvis took it for a ride around the neighbourhood. Elvis was impressed, and when he returned, he told his transportation manager, Alan Fortis, to "order one for all the guys, but...it has to be tonight!" Motorcycle dealers Bill Robertson & Sons managed to deliver seven Triumphs that night two more followed soon after - and Elvis and his friends rode together around Bel Air late into the evening, only stopping when neighbours called the police to complain. Triumph is on the hunt to track down the Bonnevilles, with several leads already adding to the dossier of evidence. One customer came forward to share that she was once the proud owner of Jerry Schillings Bonneville, and still has a registration document to prove it! Sadly, the bike, now repainted pink, had been sold years ago, but with the bikes VIN confirmed, the search continues. The Memphis Mafia story inspired a one-of-a-kind Elvis Presley Triumph Bonneville motorcycle and matching Gibson Les Paul Guitar which sold for $20,000 at the Amelia Island Auction held by Bonhams|Cars earlier this year. The auction was in aid of the Elvis Presley Charitable Foundation, who continue Elvis' legacy of generosity by supporting numerous charitable causes. AUTHENTIC MODERN CLASSIC DESIGN The Bonneville T120 Elvis Presley Limited Edition features beautiful twin dial instruments, with an analogue speedometer, tachometer and integrated multi-function LCD screen that is striking, yet easy-to-read in all light conditions. Refined details such as the 3-bar classic tank badge and classic machined engine fins, are faithful to the iconic 1959 Bonneville. TORQUE-RICH PERFORMANCE Combining modern performance and efficiency with timeless character, the 1200cc parallel twin delivers a powerful, torque-rich performance, with the unmistakeable sound of a British twin and charismatic 270 firing interval. Specifically tuned to deliver high torque from low down in the rev range all the way through the mid-range, the T120 is known its exhilarating performance. The 1200 twin engine delivers 105 Nm of peak torque at a very low 3500 rpm and its power peaks 80 PS at 6,550 rpm. With its sensitively designed liquid cooling system, the engine exceeds EURO 5 requirements, and offers excellent fuel economy. CLASS LEADING HANDLING Renowned for its agile, confidence-inspiring feel on the road, dedicated chassis, with relaxed riding position, the T120 has a dual seat that offers all-day comfort, with a low height of just 790mm. The latest generation ABS with twin-piston Brembo floating front calipers and 310mm discs give superb feel and power for confident braking, while Triumphs latest generation ABS and switchable traction control maximises safety and control. TECHNOLOGY AS STANDARD Packed with high specification technology, the T120 features a ride-by-wire throttle, switchable traction control and single-button cruise control fitted as standard.

Thu, 28 Mar 2024 00:00:00 GMT https://www.suttonmotorcycles.com/triumph/news/triumph-unveils-trident-660-special-edition Triumph Motorcycles has launched a striking new special edition Trident 660, featuring a dynamic, contemporary graphic scheme designed to appeal to new Triumph fans, and extra technology including Triumph Shift-Assist and Bluetooth connectivity. New for 2024, the Trident Triple Tribute celebrates Triumphs legendary triple engines and will be available for one year only. This hugely popular naked roadster is now available with a distinctive graphic scheme, which is a contemporary take on Triumphs iconic white, blue and red racing scheme and features the distinctive 67 number graphic, which once adorned the most famous Trident in history, Slippery Sam. The Tridents characterful and unique triple engine performance and celebrated handling will be even more enjoyable with the addition of Triumph Shift Assist, adding to an already impressive specification and list of equipment for its class. Included as standard, the colour matched fly screen and belly pan add even more unique character to the Tridents distinctive style, showcasing the exceptional standard of fit and finish that is synonymous with Triumph. Paul Stroud, Chief Commercial Officer, Triumph Motorcycles said: Since its launch in 2020, this middle-weight roadster has reinvigorated this highly competitive category, selling more than 35,600 units worldwide. Its triple engine and premium detailing at a great price, has been successful in bringing younger and new riders to Triumph, and just as Slippery Sam once inspired a generation, we believe this special edition has the iconic style, extra technology and dynamic performance to appeal to todays Triumph fans. UNIQUE TRIPLE TRIBUTE EDITION DESIGN SCHEME The Trident Triple Tribute has a stunning, modern design, inspired by the most celebrated Triumph triple bike of all time, Slippery Sam, which is the only motorcycle ever to win five TT production races in five consecutive years, from 1971 to 1975. The white, blue and red scheme with colour-matched fly screen and belly pan, stands out from the clean, minimal lines, beautiful silhouette and confident poise of the Trident. The distinctive tank design with number 67 race graphic surrounds the signature knee cut-outs, complementing the flowing seat line. With an impeccable attention to detail, the Trident 660 features high quality Triumph badges in both the headlight and taillight, and logo touches on the fuel filler cap, handlebar clamp and instruments, plus an inset aluminium Trident badge with diamond machined detailing. Body coloured radiator cowls, aluminium yokes & heel guards, body coloured fork protectors, tapered aluminium handlebars and teardrop shape mirrors, with five-spoke, black, lightweight, cast aluminium wheels, complete the eye-catching look. TRIPLE ENGINE PERFORMANCE ADVANTAGE Featuring a dedicated Trident tune, the popular 660cc triple engine was developed to deliver the character and performance benefits of a triple to riders in the middleweight sports naked category, providing the perfect balance of low-down torque, mid-range and top end power. A distinctive deep triple soundtrack is provided via a compact and minimal single sided silencer, with a premium stainless-steel finisher. Fully Euro 5 compliant, the engine gives 81 PS peak power @ 10,250 rpm with a progressive, smooth and linear delivery, as well as 64 Nm peak torque @ 6,250 rpm. An accessory fit A2 conversion kit is available in Europe, including the A2-specific APS twist grip and a unique engine tune, which restricts peak power to 47 PS, or 35kW, and peak torque to 59 Nm. The bike can be de-restricted at the dealership, once the rider has completed their full licence. The Tridents smooth six-speed gearbox, with gear ratios and final drive that are optimised to make the riding experience easy and fun, is further enhanced by the addition of the Triumph Shift Assist, included as standard for this special edition. This quickshifter enables clutchless changes up and down the ratios, with an autoblipper on downshifts for fast, seamless changes. CLASS LEADING HANDLING Renowned for its agile, sporty and confidence-inspiring feel on the road, the Trident has an accessible 805mm seat height and a low wet weight of 189kg. It is already leading the class, with a high specification of branded equipment including black Showa upside down forks delivering 120mm front wheel travel, and Showa preload adjustable monoshock RSU with linkage, which delivers 133.5mm rear wheel travel.

It even has a new name, the Rocket 3 Storm, to match its muscular style and spectacular riding experience. Featuring the worlds largest production motorcycle engine with a capacity of 2,458cc, the new Rocket 3 Storm R and Rocket 3 Storm GT gain 15PS peak power, now delivering a massive 182PS at 7,000rpm. Torque has also been increased by 4Nm, reaching a new peak of 225Nm at a low 4,000rpm. This flat, rich torque curve with maximum torque all the way through the mid-range gives explosive acceleration and effortless response in any gear. The Rockets 16-inch rear and 17-inch front wheels have been updated with a sportier ten-spoke cast aluminium design, reducing unsprung mass. This reduction has a positive impact on steering response while on the move, improving the Rockets already impressive agility. The strong and lightweight aluminium frame, first introduced in 2019, uses cast and forged elements for an exceptional torque-to-weight ratio. Following the sales success of recent special edition Rockets which featured blacked-out components, the new Rocket 3 Storm models feature a dark, moody colour scheme and an impeccable level of quality detailing. The large 18 litre tank features the new Storm name, and each model has three distinctive two-tone colour options. The R is available in Carnival Red with Sapphire Black, Satin Pacific Blue with Matt Sapphire Black and Sapphire Black with Granite. The GT is available in the same colours, but the split of the tank is reversed, providing a distinctive, high impact look and consistent colour choice across both models. The Rocket 3 Storm also comes with high-quality black finishes throughout. Also new for 2024, the Rocket 3 Storm now exceeds the latest Euro 5b requirements, featuring liquid cooling, low emissions and excellent fuel efficiency. Paul Stroud, Triumphs Chief Commercial Officer, said: Known around the world as the ultimate muscle roadster, the Rocket has already achieved global sales of more than 18,000 since the 2.5 litre engine was introduced in 2019. By listening to feedback from our customers, we know they love the Rockets muscular presence and heart-stopping performance. We also know that riders desire even more. Thats why the new Rocket 3 Storm R and GT have been given an impressive power and torque increase, even greater agility and an even darker, moodier style and presence on the road. EXCEPTIONAL HANDLING Harnessing the Rockets impressive performance to deliver a controlled and compliant ride, is a Showa monoshock RSU and piggy-back reservoir, fully adjustable for rebound and compression damping and preload. The forks are large 47mm Showas, adjustable for rebound and compression damping. Exceptional stopping power is provided by top-specification radial Brembo Stylema brake calipers with twin 320mm discs. These lightweight, compact, and high performing calipers offer great airflow for pad cooling during spirited riding. The Brembo M4.32 4 piston radial monobloc rear caliper and 300mm rear disc is bigger and more powerful than the front brake setup on many bikes, helping to provide massive stopping power. The Rocket 3 Storm retains full optimised cornering ABS functionality. DISTINCT ERGONOMICS Each Rocket offers a distinct feel and personality, due to key differences in their ergonomics. The Rocket Rs roadster rider position and handlebar placement is designed to provide optimum power and control, to create a relaxed and engaging ride. The GT has a slightly more swept back set-up with a 125mm difference in grip position versus the R, for a more upright riding position. Each model also gets its own dedicated seating set-up, each with premium black painted cast aluminium seat finishers. The Rocket 3 Storm R has a roadster rider and pillion seat with a 773mm seat height, offering comfort, low-speed confidence and manoeuvrability. The GT has a sculpted touring rider seat with a more generously padded pillion seat and an adjustable pillion backrest. The seat height for the GT is just 750mm, further improving comfort for the rider. The biggest difference between the two models is the footpeg positions. The R has mid-foot controls, with two settings that offer 15mm of vertical adjustment, to cater for every size of rider, delivering a natural and sporty riding position. The GT has feet forward foot controls giving a laid-back custom bike feel, with three horizontal position settings offering 50mm of adjustment, to provide the most comfortable position for long rides. Both R and GT models have innovative, neat, blacked out, retractable pillion footrests. RIDER FOCUSED TECHNOLOGY From lean-angle sensitive ABS and traction control to switchable throttle maps and intuitive cruise control, rider-focused technology allows riders to confidently exploit the Rocket 3 Storms epic performance potential. Ride-by-wire enhances rideability, safety and control, while the Rockets high-performance gearbox is engineered with helical cut gears to transmit the huge torque to the rear wheel smoothly. The Torque Assist clutch helps riders shift up and down the six-speed box with satisfying speed and smoothness, while a Quickshifter is available as an accessory fit for both models. Both models feature optimised cornering ABS and traction control for enhanced stability, improving both straight line and cornering, acceleration and braking. Hill Hold prevents the bike rolling backwards and applies the rear brake until sensing the rider is starting to move off. Both come equipped with four riding modes, road, rain, sport and rider-configurable, which adjusts the throttle map and traction control settings. The electronic cruise control system is fitted as standard as well. Activated by a single press of the button, the speed can be set and adjusted up or down in 1mph increments, as well as be resumed with just one touch. Both models feature a high functionality full colour TFT set-up with a five-way back-lit joystick. This has a minimal stylish design with two information layout design themes, and the adjustable instrument angle set-up provides optimum visibility for every height of rider. The rider can even personalise the start-up screen message with their name. Adding extra security, both bikes have standard fit keyless ignition and steering lock, which can be disabled. The key fob can also be turned off to prolong battery life and increase security. There is also a USB charging socket in a dedicated compartment under the seat, where devices can be kept safe and dry while charging. BLACKED OUT STYLE Flawlessly engineered with unparalleled attention to detail, the Rocket 3 Storm sets the benchmark for premium finish. From the black powder-coated intake cover to the hydro-formed exhaust headers, the materials used throughout the Rocket 3 Storm have been carefully chosen with an unmatched attention to detail, to deliver blacked-out attitude. On top of that, Rocket 3 Storm also comes with high-quality black anodised finishes throughout; rear frame forging, swingarm guard, forks lowers and yokes, risers and handlebar clamps, RSU Rocker, seat finisher, footrests & hangers for rider and pillion, brake and gear pedals, levers, and side stand. Amplifying the bikes aggressive stance and attitude, both Rocket 3 Storms have twin LED headlights with the Triumph makers mark triangle and signature shaped daytime running lights (DRL)*. There are LED indicators, rear light and number plate light, delivering a really distinctive light signature. MAKE THE ROCKET 3 STORM YOUR OWN With over 50 Genuine Triumph Accessories to add comfort, practicality, style and security, riders can customise their Rocket to make it truly bespoke. Customers can choose from interchangeable R and GT foot controls, rider and pillion seats for tailored ergonomics, plug and play technology for greater convenience, styling parts to customise the look and luggage solutions for longer rides. Designed hand-in-hand with our motorcycles and manufactured to the same exacting standards, all Triumph accessories have the same two-year unlimited mileage warranty as the bikes themselves. Thu, 28 Mar 2024 00:00:00 GMT https://www.suttonmotorcycles.com/triumph/news/the-new-2024-cb125r-receives-four-new-colours-a-new-full-colour-tft-meter-and-euro5-classification-for-24ym When embarking on a two-wheeled career, there are certain fundamentals that every rider looks for from their first motorcycle: an easy-to-ride chassis, with engaging real-world engine performance, and super-agile handling. Wrap those fundamentals, however, in distinctive, classy styling and add a host of premium specifications, and the result can be an extra special machine with which to begin a life on two wheels. It was for new riders looking for this kind of package that Honda introduced the all-new CB125R in 2017. The smallest member of Hondas minimalist, bare-boned Neo Sports Caf family, the CB125R was launched alongside the CB300R and the flagship CB1000R, and represented a bold new, premium addition to the ranks of Hondas entry level machines. Ever since its introduction, the CB125R has been a bike that has stood head and shoulders above its peers. Powered by its fun and peppy 125cc engine, the CB125R has been the gateway for many into Honda Neo Sports Caf ownership, all of whom have benefitted from rich specifications and minimalist retro styling presented with a very modern twist. In 21YM the CB125R received a brand-new, 4 valve engine and major front suspension upgrade, keeping it at the head of a competitive field, and at the top of many young riders wish list. For 24YM, the CB125R is compliant with new EURO5+ emissions targets and the addition of an all-new 5in full colour TFT display, all-new switchgear and four new colours heighten the appeal even further. Hondas uniquely styled Neo Sports Caf 125cc machine receives fresh styling touches and a new full 5in colour TFT meter - inherited from the CB1000R - which is controlled by all-new switchgear. Four new colours for 24YM further enhance the appeal and presence of the CB125R, the gateway to Neo Sports Caf ownership. Top level standard specification includes single-cylinder DOHC 4V engine, high-quality 41mm Showa Separate Function Big Piston (SFF-BP) USD forks, radial-mount four-piston front brake caliper operating with floating disc, plus IMU-controlled ABS. The 24YM CB125R will be available in the following colour options: **NEW** Matt Cynos Gray Metallic with Black sump guard and shrouds **NEW** Pearl Cool White with Matt Cynos Gray Metallic sump guard and shrouds **NEW** Reef Sea Blue Metallic with Matt Cynos Gray Metallic sump guard and shrouds **NEW** Pearl Splendor Red with Matt Cynos Gray Metallic sump guard and shrouds All feature colour-matched big CB125R logos on the radiator shrouds, and negative-coloured Honda Wing logos on the tank. The only exception is the Matt Cynos Gray Metallic colour scheme, which is unique in the line-up, with gold CB125R and Honda Wing logo on shrouds and tank respectively. Engine Single-cylinder, DOHC 4V, liquid-cooled 11kW peak power, 11.6Nm peak torque EURO5+ compliant The CB125R uses its very own EURO5+ compliant 125cc, DOHC 4V engine design which produces 11.0kW @ 10,000rpm and 11.6Nm @ 8,000rpm. Top speed is 105km/h, with 0-200m covered in 11.3s. The gearbox is six-speed. The 24YM CB125R features a new, catalyser in the exhaust system, with no loss in performance. Bore and stroke is set at 57.3 x 48.4mm, with compression ratio of 11.3:1. PGM-FI fuel injection feeds cleanly through the inlet duct, air cleaner connector tube and resonator. The exhaust is underslung and exits through a dual-chamber muffler. The new EURO5+ emissions targets, which will become a legal requirement at the end of 2024, sees the introduction of new on-board monitoring of the catalyst, the lowering of the threshold for identifying a fault and therefore warning the owner earlier, stricter noise restrictions and improving long-term exhaust emissions. Chassis 41mm Showas Separate Function Big Piston (SFF-BP) USD forks Radial-mount 4-piston caliper and hubless 296mm floating front disc ABS works through Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) Underpinning the CB125Rs minimalism is its tubular and pressed steel construction lattice-style frame. The swingarm is manufactured from steel plate, irregularly shaped in cross-section. Both are designed to achieve high longitudinal rigidity and control torsion from wheel deflection without excess rigidity or weight. The chassis core strength is anchored by the pressed steel swingarm pivot plates and swingarm, allowing the frame to deliver agile handling with stability and feedback; rake and trail are set at 24.2/90.2mm. A 51.5% front/48.5% rear weight bias provides a positive feel for front-end grip and easy steering which is also helped by the low, 130kg wet weight and compact 1345mm wheelbase. Fat bar-style handlebars turn through 40 and the 2.3m turning circle guarantees easy passage in jammed city traffic. Seat height is 816mm. Styling & equipment New 5in full colour TFT meter inherited from CB1000R New left switchgear Industrial minimal styling with four new colours and new big logo graphics for a bold visual impact Full LED lighting 10.1L fuel tank gives 460km range The CB125Rs styling is unique to the machine, following the unmistakeable Neo Sports Caf design language of the CB1000R minimalist retro styling with a very modern twist and injects a harder-edged attitude to Hondas entry level range. For 24YM, this styling has been enhanced with the addition of an all new 5in full colour high-visibility TFT screen inherited from the CB1000R. The screen offers three types of speed/rpm display analogue or bar, according to rider preference as well as fuel gauge/consumption, gear selected and customisable shift-up point on the rev-counter. Management is via the new left switchgear, which is both stylish and intuitive. The cutaway tail unit is compact in the extreme and holds the rear mudguard mount. Both rider and pillion footpeg hangers are aluminium. Full LED lighting including indicators adds a further premium feel and contributes to mass centralisation. The headlight uses a dual bar light signature, upper for low beam and lower for high beam and the taillight remains thin and stylish. The 10.1L fuel tank is hidden underneath an angular cover and shrouds and houses an aircraft-style filler cap. With fuel economy of 45.5km/l (WMTC mode), the CB125R can cover over 460km from full. The 24YM CB125R features colour matched big CB125R logos on the radiator shrouds, and negative coloured Honda Wing logos on the tank. The only exception is the Matt Cynos Gray Metallic colour scheme, which is unique in the line-up, with gold CB125R and Honda Wing logo on shrouds and tank respectively. Accessories A full range of genuine Honda accessories are available for the CB125R and include: 5 stage heated grips with memory function 15L rear seat bag, expandable to 22L, complete with rain cover 12V ACC socket Thu, 21 Mar 2024 00:00:00 GMT https://www.suttonmotorcycles.com/triumph/news/triumph-reveals-new-tiger-1200-updates-for-2024 The Tiger 1200 family is even more advanced and refined for 2024 Updated T-Plane triple engine delivers more refinement and superior low speed control Enhanced all-day comfort for long-distance touring capability Even more capability with increased cornering ground clearance on GT models Active Preload Reduction across the range, giving up to 20mm seat height reduction Triumph Motorcycles has revealed new features and enhancements for its Tiger 1200 family for 2024, making the range even more advanced and refined. The updates include further refinements to the engine, enhanced comfort and ergonomics, improved cornering ground clearance, reduced seat height with Active Preload Reduction and distinctive new colours. Triumphs 1160cc triple engine now delivers an even more refined riding experience, with superior low speed control, whilst retaining the exciting and unmistakable triple character from its T plane crank. With changes to the crankshaft, alternator rotor and balancer to increase engine inertia, plus some associated engine calibration changes, the Triumph engineering team has been able to create a smoother and more precise low rev torque delivery. Customers will be able to feel the increased smoothness while accelerating or decelerating, especially at low speeds. An updated clutch design will also mean that riders experience a smoother engagement when changing into first gear, Triumph has also enhanced the all-day comfort of the Tiger 1200 for customers looking for long-distance touring capability. The engine itself is now even smoother and more refined, thanks to a revised engine balancing strategy, which improves comfort through all the key rider touchpoints. The dampened handlebars and risers, which have proven so popular in the Explorer models, have also been introduced to the GT Pro and Rally Pro, delivering a smoother ride with increased mirror visibility. The rider seat has been re-designed with a flatter profile, providing more space for the rider which will help reduce fatigue on longer trips. The accessory low seat, which reduces the seat position by 20mm to give a lowest seat height of 830mm on the GT Pro and 855mm on the Rally Pro, has also been designed to be significantly more comfortable. A longer clutch lever has also been introduced, providing increased space for riders fingers adding further comfort especially on longer journeys. Triumph has also increased the cornering ground clearance of the Tiger 1200 GT Pro and GT Explorer models, by lifting the footpeg positions and moving them closer to the bike. The new Active Preload Reduction feature, which was revealed in August 2023, offers the rider greater confidence by reducing the rear suspension preload as the Tiger 1200 slows to a stop, lowering the seat height by up to 20mm, simply by pressing the Home button on the switch cube for one second. The Tiger 1200 is now available in four variants, with new colours for 2024. The Tiger 1200 GT Pro and GT Explorer, tailor made for the perfect road-focused adventure ride, are now available in eye-catching Carnival Red, as well as the previous options of Snowdonia White and Sapphire Black. The Tiger 1200 Rally Pro and Rally Explorer, perfect for an all-terrain adventure, are available in stylish new Matt Sandstorm, and Jet Black options, as well as the popular Matt Khaki. Chief Product Officer Steve Sargent said: The updates to the Tiger 1200 range for 2024 will deliver an even more refined ride, broadening its global appeal. While the current generation model has already made a big impact on this segment, more than doubling annual sales of the Tiger 1200 around the globe, our world-class engineering team is always looking for new ways to refine and enhance every model. By listening to customer feedback and integrating some of the new enhancements already revealed in the new Tiger 900, this range of updates come together to deliver a significant improvement to the riding experience. First launched in 2021, the latest generation Tiger 1200 was designed to be the worlds most capable, agile and manoeuvrable large capacity adventure motorcycle.

The Daytona 660 delivers thrilling sports performance, a dynamic ride and the highest quality, capability and specification in its class. Featuring a significant evolution of Triumphs distinctive and unique 660cc triple engine, now with 95PS peak power and 69Nm of peak torque, the Daytona 660 provides a smooth, responsive and linear delivery with the perfect combination of low-down torque, mid-range and top-end power. As well as delivering 17% more power and 9% more torque than the Trident, the Daytona 660 also has a brand-new exhaust, creating an unmistakeable sports soundtrack. The Daytona 660s perfectly balanced chassis and intuitive, agile sports handling is combined with all-day riding comfort, thanks to high specification equipment including Showa upside down big piston 41mm forks and Showa preload adjustable monoshock RSU. The radial four piston brakes with twin 310mm discs and braided brake lines are paired with Michelins new Power 6 tyres. Combined with an 810mm seat height, narrow stand-over and optimised bar and footpeg position, the Daytona 660 delivers an exciting and confidence-inspiring ride. Ensuring riders always feel in complete control, the Daytona 660 is equipped with rider-focused technology including three riding modes (Sport, Road and Rain) which optimise throttle response and traction control settings for the conditions, plus theres a new Emergency Deceleration Warning system that activates the hazard lights to alert other road users during heavy braking. The unmistakeable Daytona design DNA has been reimagined with fresh attitude for an aggressive new stance and clean lines. Distinctive twin LED headlights incorporate a central air intake and the minimal bodywork emphasises the athletic profile, ending in a contoured LED tail light. There are three striking colour options available, all featuring a bold 660 race-inspired graphic. As Triumph customers would expect, the Daytona has more than 30 Genuine Triumph Accessories to tailor performance, comfort, style and practicality, including an A2 licence kit, with a dedicated throttle twist grip and an engine tune that limits power to 35kW. A 10,000-mile service interval, two-year unlimited mileage warranty and Triumphs strong residual values contribute to securing a competitive cost of ownership, the lowest in the class. Steve Sargent, Triumphs Chief Product Officer said: The 660 has all the attitude and agility youd expect from the Daytona name, and brings with it the thrilling, useable, real world performance and all-day comfort that riders today are looking for. We are excited by the impact the Daytona 660 is going to have on the growing middleweight sports world. THRILLING SPORTS PERFORMANCE The perfect combination of low-down torque, thrilling top-end and unrivalled character, the Daytonas triple delivers 95PS at 11,250rpm with a hair-raising 12,650rpm redline. More than 80 percent of its 69Nm of peak torque is available from just 3,125rpm delivering responsive sporty and fully usable performance. By blending low-down torque and the tractability of a twin with the free-revving top end performance of an inline four, the engine has a unique triple soundtrack, further enhanced by the new exhaust which features 3 into 1 headers and a compact underslung silencer with stainless steel finisher. Power is delivered effortlessly through a slick six-speed gearbox and Triumphs Torque Assist clutch ensures a progressive, light lever action with a span optimised clutch lever for better reach. The clutch design also improves rear wheel control under hard deceleration for smooth, confident corner entry. Triumphs Shift Assist is available as an accessory fit for fast and effortless clutch-less up and down shifts and even easier riding in town. For riders starting their Daytona ride with an A2 licence, an accessory fit conversion kit enables compliance with a replacement throttle grip and unique engine tune, that can be easily fitted, or reverted to standard, by a Triumph dealer. AGILE, DYNAMIC RIDE The new Daytona 660 benefits from years of race-winning chassis development, and with its lightweight sports frame, top quality Showa 41mm upside down, big-piston front forks and a Showa rear suspension unit, it delivers an easy and agile ride. The rear suspension also features preload adjustment for quick set-up alterations. Lightweight five-spoked cast aluminium wheels keep rotating mass low for even more responsive handling and enhanced suspension performance and Michelins new high-specification Power 6 tyres are fitted as standard to deliver confident road handling in wet and dry conditions. With twin four-piston radial calipers paired to lightweight 310mm discs and fed by braided lines, plus a Continental ABS modulator, the Daytona 660 has excellent stopping power and braking feel too. RIDER-FOCUSED TECHNOLOGY The Daytona 660 features technology that enhances the riding experience and safety. The ride-by-wire throttle delivers a crisp and precise throttle response and also allows for three riding modes; Sport, Road and Rain. Each mode offers a different throttle response and level of traction control intervention, with Sport mode providing the most reactive throttle response for full-on road rides or track sessions. The traction control system can also be turned off using the instrument menu for riders who prefer complete freedom from electronic intervention. The multi-functional instruments feature a colour TFT screen integrated into a white-on-black LCD display. Compact, and with an uncluttered design, all the rider information is clearly displayed and is easy to read in different light conditions. This neat unit is compatible with the accessory fit My Triumph Connectivity System that enables turn-by-turn navigation plus phone and music interaction. All functions are clearly displayed on the TFT screen and controlled via the switchgear for ease of use while riding. CONTROL & COMFORT With racy clip-on bars positioned above the top yoke and pegs placed for the optimum balance of comfort and cornering clearance, the Daytona 660s natural riding position is perfectly judged to give the feedback needed for dynamic sports riding with space and comfort necessary for long days in the saddle. At lower speeds, the Daytonas perfectly-weighted controls and light steering give superb control in urban environments. Split rider and pillion seats, with a rider seat height of 810mm and a narrow stand-over make the Daytona 660 manageable for riders of all sizes, and an accessory low seat is also available, lowering the seat height by 25mm to just 785mm. MAKE THE DAYTONA 660 YOUR OWN There are over 30 Genuine Triumph Accessories available, all engineered alongside the motorcycle, tested to the same high standards, and carrying the same two-year unlimited mileage warranty. Riders looking for an even more distinctive race paddock style can choose a colour-coded seat cowl as well as a range of beautifully engineered billet-machined parts including an oil filler cap, pre-drilled for lock-wiring, paddock stand bobbins, bar end finishers and a rear brake reservoir. The My Triumph Connectivity System allows easy and intuitive phone and music operation plus turn-by-turn navigation and is available as an accessory on the Daytona 660. Triumph Shift Assist can also be added, providing clutch-less, full-throttle upshifting and seamless downshifting with auto-blip.

Tue, 09 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMT https://www.suttonmotorcycles.com/triumph/news/a-vibrant-new-colour-for-the-dax-and-cosmetic-updates-and-new-colours-for-the-cb125f-round-out-hondas-24-year-model-line-up New Pearl Glittering Blue colour available on the Dax for 24YM New cosmetic updates for the perennially popular CB125F include two new colours: Imperial Red Metallic and Matt Marvel Blue Metallic After an absence of 41yrs, the Honda Dax returned to Europe for 23YM, joining the Monkey and the MSX125 Grom in Hondas unique mini-bike line-up. For 24YM, it gains a funky new Pearl Glittering Blue colour, joining Pearl Nebula Red and Pearl Cadet Grey, which carry over from last year. With its iconic pressed steel T-shaped frame, no other motorcycle, big or small, cuts the same shape as the Dax. The frame, which extends from under the seat to the chrome handlebars, is reminiscent of a Dachshund with its short legs and long body, which led to the naming of the original ST50 Dax in 1969. The 24YM Dax keeps the unmistakeable, iconic look of the original, with the frame (which also houses the fuel tank) providing plenty of strength for two up riding. Suspension is taken care of by 31mm USD forks matched to twin rear shocks. Completing the classic look, these are paired to blacked-out 12in mini-bike wheels with fat, balloon-like tyres which allow effortless around-town agility. Lighting is full LED and the Dax features a stylish negative LCD display, chrome handlebars and pillion grab rail. The venerable Dax picked up a new accolade in 2023, with Portuguese artist Tamara Alvess Furiosa version winning Hondas 4th annual customisation competition based around the Wheels & Waves festival in Biarritz. The perennially popular CB125F, has always been regarded as a tough, user-friendly entry-level motorcycle that offer the perfect first step into motorcycling. 21YM saw the CB125F receive a substantial makeover with a new engine, frame and new look including a LED headlight. Last year the CB125F was Europes second most popular 125cc motorcycle, with over 7,000 units sold. For 24YM, the CB125F receives cosmetic updates including a new shorter muffler, longer chrome heat shield, a stronger aluminium pillion grab handle and two new contemporary colours - Imperial Red Metallic and Matt Marvel Blue Metallic - that join Black in the line-up. All three colours will also feature bright red detailing on the shock springs and spark plug cap for an added splash of colour. The Dax will arrive in European dealers in December, to be followed in January 2024 by the CB125F. Tue, 14 Nov 2023 00:00:00 GMT https://www.suttonmotorcycles.com/triumph/news/new-cb1000-hornet-return-of-the-cbr600rr-and-innovative-honda-e-clutch-headline-hondas-full-24ym-european-line-up-reveal-at-eicma New flagship naked CB1000 Hornet to join Hondas European range in 2024 CBR600RR returns to Europe after six years with revised engine, new styling and full electronics package Two more new names - CB500 Hornet and NX500 - join the A2 licence-friendly 500 series alongside the updated CBR500R World-first technology - Honda E-Clutch - to be available on upgraded four cylinder CB650R and CBR650R middleweights CBR1000RR-R Fireblade and its SP version receive frame, bodywork, engine and gearbox upgrades to maximise mid-range performance The new 24 year model CRF1100L Africa Twin and CRF1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sports make their first public appearance The SC e: Concept underlines Hondas commitment to introduce 10 or more electric two-wheeled vehicles globally by 2025 All the new 24YM Hondas comply with EURO5+ regulations Today at EICMA in Milan, Honda unveiled its full 24YM line-up, featuring four new model names, significant upgrades to a further four models - two of which will be available with a world-first motorcycle technology - and a concept version of the next all-electric vehicle destined to join Hondas uniquely broad and varied range. New CB1000 Hornet Headlining the unveiling is the introduction of the new head of Hondas growing Hornet family the CB1000 Hornet. The new flagship naked will be powered by a retuned version of the in-line four-cylinder powerplant from the 2017YM CBR1000RR Fireblade, that delivers peak power of over 110kW and more than 100Nm of torque. Wrapping the engine is an all-new steel twin spar frame that will offer a unique blend of dynamic cornering performance and stability, via Showa 41mm Separate Function Fork Big Piston (SFF-BP) suspension adjustable for both compression and rebound, matched to a Pro-link rear Showa shock. The styling is pure and aggressive. Led by the piercing gaze of super-compact dual LED projector headlights, the Hornet-signature fuel tank with wings folded forward is broad shouldered up front but tapers radically to the rear, mirrored by the minimal seat unit that underlines the traditional narrow-waisted Hornet look. The new frame is also used as a design feature, but subtly blacked out like the tubular trellis-style rear subframe. Electronic aids will run via Throttle By Wire and allow the rider to choose between 3 riding modes, displayed on the 5-inch TFT colour display; connectivity is available for both Android and iOS devices via Honda RoadSync. New CB500 Hornet The Hornet family will have a new third member in Hondas 24YM line-up - the CB500 Hornet, which brings new, aggressive styling inspired by its two bigger siblings, and aerodynamic performance that befit the iconic Hornet name. The CB500 Hornets fairing incorporates headlight side ducts that channel air to the upper fuel tank area, contributing to a linear steering feel with outstanding handling agility. A new LED throws its light out wider for increased visibility. Power and torque for the 471cc engine meet maximum A2 licence requirements at 35kW and 43Nm while updated fuel injection settings improve acceleration feel from low down, and the CB500 Hornet now features HSTC for increased peace of mind. The high-quality chassis specification includes 41mm Showa SFF-BP USD forks, Showa rear shock and dual discs up front with four-piston calipers, while a new 5-inch TFT screen offers Honda RoadSync smartphone connectivity. New CBR600RR After a six-year absence from Hondas European line-up, the much-loved - and razor-sharp - CBR600RR returns for 24YM to reinvigorate the middleweight super sports category. Loaded with cutting-edge MotoGP-inspired electronics and aerodynamics, the new CBR600RR is a free-revving four-cylinder motorcycling gem powered by an engine substantially upgraded from its previous incarnation to deliver peak power of 89kW at 14,250rpm and 63Nm of torque at 11,500rpm. The sweet-handling chassis package deliver both instant changes of direction and stability through its twin-spar aluminium frame with aluminium swingarm, 41mm Showa Big Piston USD front forks, Unit Pro-Link Showa rear shock and fairings featuring MotoGP-derived winglets. The CBR600RRs new comprehensive electronics package benefits from the use of a 6-axis Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), as found in the CBR1000RR-R Fireblade, and includes Throttle By Wire control, 5 Riding Modes, Cornering ABS, 9-level Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC), Wheelie Control, Rear Lift Control and Emergency Stop Signals. Honda Electronic Steering Damper, an assist/slipper clutch and quickshifter are also standard fit. New NX500 The iconic NX designation returns to Hondas line-up in the form of the new NX500. Meaning New X-over, the NX500 is designed to be enjoyed on everything from a winding road to a gravel trail or long-distance adventure. Building on the popularity of the outgoing CB500X, it features new styling and a range of specification and performance upgrades. Handling dynamics and feel are improved thanks to a 3 kilogram reduction (1.5kg of which comes from new lightweight 5-spoke cast aluminium wheels) in kerb weight to 196kg, revised spring rate and damping for the Showa 41mm Separate Function Fork Big Piston (SFF-BP) upside down forks, and sharper acceleration thanks to new fuel injection settings. Further spec upgrades come in the form of a new 5-inch TFT screen, Honda RoadSync smartphone connectivity and HSTC. Led by a new headlight, the styling is completely refreshed, with new plastics from front to back mixing compact adventure-style usability with an imposing silhouette and solidity of form. CBR500R The gateway machine to Hondas CBR super sports family is also significantly upgraded for 24YM. Crisp and comprehensively updated, the Fireblade-inspired styling includes new headlight and taillight, plus revised bodywork featuring winglets for improved front end feel. New graphics and colours amplify the CBR500Rs baby Blade look and new fuel injection settings improve low rpm acceleration. The new 5-inch full colour TFT screen is operated by easy-to-use backlit switchgear, and is the interface for the new connectivity of Honda RoadSync. CB650R and CBR650R Hondas CB650R naked middleweight and its sibling, the CBR650R, both receive a style refresh and new technology for 24YM. The CB650Rs Neo Sports Caf unique look has evolved to make it a sinuous, more dynamic and purposeful-looking machine. Led from the front by the new slanted LED headlight, it features new radiator shrouds and a sharper new rear fairing complete with new taillight. For its CBR sibling, redesigned dual LED headlights are matched with updated upper and lower fairings that, along with the redesigned tail unit, combine muscularity with slim lines and attractive angles to ramp up the CBR650Rs pure sporting appeal. Both bikes feature Honda RoadSync connectivity a new 5-inch full colour TFT screen designed for optimal readability on bright days. Honda E-Clutch The CB650R and CBR650R are also the first Honda motorcycles to be available with the innovative Honda E-Clutch technology, the worlds first fully automatic clutch for a multi-geared motorcycle, designed to make motorcycling, from beginner right through to expert, even more enjoyable and exciting. Honda E-Clutch takes away the need to use the clutch lever to make a shift either up or down the gearbox. The rider simply has to operate the shift pedal for ultra-fast, consistent gear changes, exactly as if using a quickshifter. During the gear change, it uses a harmonised combination of half-clutch operation, fuel injection cut and ignition control to eliminate shift shock for an ultra-smooth ride. The clutch lever is also not needed when pulling away or coming to a stop. Becoming active as soon as the engine is switched on, the Honda E-Clutch system manages both scenarios smoothly, and if the rider desires, they are able to operate the clutch lever as normal. Should the rider want to turn off the system for a particular ride, this is also possible via the instrument panel. CBR1000RR-R Fireblade and CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP 24YM sees the CBR1000RR-R Fireblade and its SP version drive further up their development curve with a host of engine and gearbox updates that produce a major mid-range performance boost and improved throttle response. Harnessing a huge amount of HRC development and knowhow, the delivery of the CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SPs 113Nm torque and 160kW has been substantially changed to generate even more corner exit acceleration alongside its prodigious top-end power. This is further heightened by new shorter gear ratios and primary drive, redesigned middle fairing with new winglets plus a revised, lighter and more pliant frame. The addition of 2-Motor Throttle By Wire increases part-throttle control and also allows amplified engine braking. Lighter crankcases, crankshaft and conrods, together with revised valve timing and raised compression ratio, ensure that the CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP draws more performance from every combustion cycle, while changes to the standard fit Akrapovi muffler reduce exhaust volume by 5dB.. The SP version of the CBR1000RR-R Fireblade is the first bike in the world to use the new, third generation hlins Smart Electronic 43mm S-EC3.0 (SV) NPX USD forks. It also features a digital spring preload guide via the instrument panel, which has been developed to allow riders a clear and easy way to set their Fireblade up perfectly. New Brembo Stylema R four-piston radial mount brake calipers offer consistently high braking performance. CRF1100L Africa Twin and Africa Twin Adventure Sports EICMA will also mark the public debut of the 24YM CRF1100L Africa Twin and its Adventure Sports variant, which carry a series of performance and practical updates for 24YM. Both models benefit from a 7% increase in maximum torque delivered 750rpm earlier in the rpm range thanks to changes in compression ratio, valve timing, intake ports and ECU settings. Revisions to the Dual Clutch Transmission gearbox bring earlier downshifts to match the new engine performance, improved cornering detection and a more natural feel on initial take off and between first and second gears. Practicality is improved with the addition of tubeless tyres for easier roadside repair, and a larger, 5 way adjustable screen. The CRF1100L Africa Twin itself will now be available for the first time with the option of Showa Electronically Equipped Ride Adjustment (Showa EERA), which offers optimised damping in all riding conditions, as well as the ability to change rear spring preload on the move via the 6.5in touchscreen display. The road-going capabilities of the CRF1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sports are heightened by a new 19 front wheel and wider front tyre, plus more weather protection from a broader front fairing and the larger screen, plus greater comfort from the more thickly-padded seat. SC e: Concept Also on display at Hondas EICMA stand is the SC e: Concept, a concept version of the companys second electric two-wheeler for European customers, following the arrival to key markets of the EM1 e: electric moped in 2023. The SC e: Concept features distinctive, ultra-modern design lines, large flat floor and long wide seat. It will be equipped with two of the swappable Honda Mobile Power Pack e: batteries for a longer riding range, supporting customers looking for emission-free, quiet, compact urban mobility with the added benefit of being able to recharge in the comfort of home. The SC stands for scooter, meaning anyone with an A1 licence will be able to ride the mass production version which is due to arrive by 2025. Tom Gardner, Senior Vice President, Honda Motor Europe, Ltd. Following the resounding sales success of the new Hornet and Transalp in 2023, which has helped grow our sales volume by over 30%, the addition of four more new model names and significant upgrades to flagships like the Africa Twin and Fireblade promise another bright year ahead in 2024. We continue to enhance and enrich our range with the arrival of the beautiful new CB1000 Hornet, the return of the much-loved CBR600RR and the addition - for the CB650R and CBR650R - of the unique Honda E-Clutch, which marks another world first for Honda. Alongside this, its exciting for us to be introducing the SC e: Concept, which will go into production by 2025, and is a sure-footed next step on the electrification journey for our two-wheeled line-up.

The ADV350 will be available in four new contemporary colours: Matt Coal Black Metallic, Pearl Falcon Gray, Matt Pearl Cool White and Matt Pearl Pacific Blue. Introduced in 22YM, the ADV350 mixes the sophistication of a premium scooter with the ability to deal with the roughest of tarmac and comes wrapped in rugged adventure styling. Taking its style inspiration directly from the X-ADV, the ADV350 features motorcycle-style USD forks, tubular steel frame, remote reservoir rear shocks, ample ground clearance, underseat storage space for two full-face helmets, plus a USB charging port and the convenience of Smart Key operation. The screen is height-adjustable and the LCD instrument panel integrates with Honda RoadSync to keep riders connected while on the move. This combination of unique styling, practicality and versatility made the ADV350 Hondas best-selling model over 125cc in 2022, a position occupied by the CB750 Hornet in 2023, closely followed by the ADV350. Both Hondas smaller Forza scooters also receive new colours for 2024. The Forza name has long been a powerful force in Hondas two-wheeled line-up, offering a premium mix of sporty and GT elements. Last year, the Forza 125 and Forza 350 received a sleek new redesign, with new chiselled dual headlights and front fairings inspired by the range topping Forza 750. Both boast an extensive standard equipment specification including HSTC, electric screen adjustment, USB Type-C socket, underseat storage space for two full-face helmets, full LED lighting and Smart Key operation. The Forza 125 - which has sold over 115,000 units since its introduction in 2015 - will be available in new Pearl Sienna Red, which joins Matt Cynos Gray Metallic, Pearl Falcon Gray and Matt Pearl Pacific Blue which carry over from last year. The Forza 125 Special Edition, in Matt Cynos Gray Metallic with red wheels, seat stitching, dial surrounds, logos and detailing, blacked-out pillion footpegs and stainless-steel floor plates, is also still available. The Forza 125s stablemate Forza 350 has sold over 73,000 units since its European introduction as the Forza 300 in 2013.

All three models are manufactured at Honda Italia Industriale SpA on the Adriatic coast. With a history that dates back to 1971, the factory has produced 40 different types of motorcycle and 30 different scooter models. The Forza 125, Forza 350 and ADV350 will start to arrive to dealers by in December. Thu, 02 Nov 2023 00:00:00 GMT https://www.suttonmotorcycles.com/triumph/news/new-tiger-900-range-for-2024triumph-raises-the-bar New Tiger 900 range delivers more performance, more capability, more all-day comfort, and more attitude Significant engine upgrade delivering 13% more power, higher peak torque of 90Nm and 9% better fuel economy All-new active safety features and new 7 TFT instruments providing more capability New rider seat and damped handlebar mounting system to provide more long-distance comfort Delivering more power, torque, capability and comfort, the new Tiger 900 range from Triumph Motorcycles is raising the bar for middleweight adventure bikes in 2024. The new line-up includes the Tiger 900 GT, GT Pro and Rally Pro, each providing a significant step-up in performance and specification. The Tiger 900s trademark three-cylinder engine has received a major update, including revised engine components, which provides 13% more power than the previous generation, giving 108PS of peak power and a higher peak torque of 90Nm. The new engine also offers greater tractability lower in the rev range.

New marker lights provide a prominent silhouette especially at night and in poor visibility. The new range also features new 7 TFT instruments, with new graphics and menu system and a new USB-C cockpit charger, as well as My Triumph Bluetooth connectivity as standard on all models.

This offers GT models with a potential seat height as low as 800mm, which combined with the narrow stand over width, improves accessibility. A new damped handlebar mounting system creates a more comfortable ride, plus the enhanced handlebar position on the Rally Pro, with the bars 15mm closer, facilitates a more agile ride while sitting or standing. Bringing even more Tiger attitude, the 2024 range has new bodywork across the beak, cockpit and side panels in an integrated design that gives each motorcycle an aggressive, adventure focused stance.

Engine revisions have resulted in a power increase of 13% taking the Tiger 900 from 95PS to an impressive 108PS. This has been achieved while gaining more torque and tractability at low RPM. The increased power can be felt throughout the rev-range, with a more muscular mid-range and improved acceleration. On the road the new Tiger 900 is agile and easy to ride at low speeds, but with plenty of performance for rapid bursts of acceleration and effortless high-speed touring. In more technical off-road situations, the fine throttle control is intuitive and confidence-inspiring Each model benefits from a specific suspension set-up, designed to meet the needs of the rider for each model. The GT is fitted with high-quality Marzocchi suspension with adjustable compression and rebound damping. With 180mm of fork travel and 170mm of rear wheel travel, the set-up has been tuned specifically for the GT to deliver excellent road handling and long-ride comfort with the capability to tackle off-road terrain. The GT Pro also uses Marzocchi suspension. Adjustable forks are matched to an electronically adjustable rear suspension unit this allows for easy and convenient preload adjustments at the touch of a button to suit riders travelling solo, with a pillion or fully loaded. The Rally Pro uses Showa suspension, offering riders adjustability and a generous 240mm front and 230mm rear wheel travel. This high-quality progressive suspension set-up provides capability and versatility on all roads. Complementing this specific suspension, the road-focused GT and GT Pro have lightweight cast alloy wheels, 19 at the front and 17 at the rear, for the perfect balance between road handling and off-road capability. The Rally Pro uses tubeless spoked wheels with a 21 front for pure off-road performance and features a broad tyre choice. Best in class Brembo Stylema brake calipers are fitted to all three new Tiger 900 models, ensuring effective stopping power and a sensitive lever feel that helps to keep braking powerful, smooth and controlled. MORE CAPABILITY The new Tiger 900 for 2024 features new active safety features to improve visibility on the road, including a new emergency deceleration warning system, which activates the hazard lights when braking rapidly and automatically deactivates when you pull away. In addition, new marker lights provide a prominent silhouette especially at night and in poor visibility. Optimised cornering ABS and Traction Control comes as standard across all three Tiger 900 models. Together with the ride-by-wire throttle, the level of assistance can be altered with four different standard riding modes Road, Rain, Sport and Off-Road. The GT Pro has five modes with the additional Rider Programmable mode allowing fine tuning to suit the riders preferences and riding style. The Rally Pro has six modes with the extra Off-Road Pro mode disabling ABS and traction control completely to allow the Tiger 900 Rally Pros capability to be fully utilised off road. The new enhanced braking system automatically balances front and rear braking effort, working in harmony with the optimised cornering ABS system, to improve stability under hard braking while significantly reducing stopping distances. Triumphs Slip and Assist clutch system is fitted to all three Tiger 900 models, giving light clutch lever action to reduce rider fatigue, especially for congested urban riding conditions and for technical off-road riding. This system also improves rear wheel control under rapid deceleration, assisting with smooth and assured corner entry on a range of surfaces. The Pro models are also equipped with the Triumph Shift Assist system. This allows clutch-less gear changes both up and down the gearbox for seamless acceleration and super-smooth deceleration. The My Triumph Connectivity System is now standard on all Tiger 900 models. Music, phone and turn by turn navigation can all be accessed via the new intuitive and easy-to-read 7 TFT display which is bonded to the glass for a crisp, non-reflective image. Heated grips and seats plus a Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) are also standard on both Pro models. MORE ALL-DAY COMFORT The seat has been redesigned for enhanced long-distance comfort whilst retaining the ease of movement for the rider to find their perfect ergonomic position. All models feature 20mm of adjustability, as well as heated seats for both Pro models, for optimum comfort in all weathers. A new damped handlebar mounting system creates a more comfortable ride, while the handlebar position on the Rally Pro has been moved back by 15mm. This slight reduction in reach improves seated comfort while also improving rider control and bike agility in the standing position when riding off-road. Even the shape of the 20-litre fuel tank has been carefully considered to provide the perfect seated riding position without compromising control when standing. An adjustable screen with five settings spanning 50mm, ensures all riders can enjoy excellent high-speed wind protection. MORE ATTITUDE The aggressive Tiger styling and distinctive adventure-focused stance has been revised and sharpened. The new bodywork now has a cleaner, more integrated design that flows beautifully from the beak, through the cockpit and into the side panels. Three striking new paint schemes and graphics are available for each model. The GT and GT Pro are available in Snowdonia White as standard, with two premium paint options, Graphite and Sapphire Black, and Carnival Red and Sapphire Black. The Rally Pro is available in Carbon Black and Sapphire Black, with the option to upgrade to the striking Ash Grey and Intense Orange or Matt Khaki Green and Matt Phantom Black. ACCESSORIES Over 50 accessories and four accessory kits are available for the new Tiger 900 range. The fully loaded Performance accessory pack includes a brand new Akrapovi silencer, the first of a number of new exhaust systems developed in partnership. With a lightweight titanium design with carbon end caps, the new silencer delivers a 1kg weight saving and an even better sound. The pack also includes front and rear scrolling indicators with new marker light feature, and billet machined adventure footpegs. The Protection Pack showcases key practical accessories, lower and upper engine bar kits, tank pad, sump guard, fork protectors, radiator guard and for off-road, a headlight guard kit. The Trekker and Expedition packs provide two distinct, tailored luggage options for extended touring or off-road adventures. ON THE ROAD Triumphs Chief Product Officer Steve Sargent said: The Tiger 900 already has an excellent reputation as an award-winner and rally competitor, enjoying success against production motorcycles as well as purpose-built off-road machines. In fact, the Tiger 900 Rally Pro was used by World Enduro Champion Ivn Cervantes, securing champion titles at the Baja Aragn Rally, 1000 Dunas Raid and Bassela Enduro in 2022. With such an impressive pedigree, we needed to set ourselves a high target to improve the new Tiger 900. We were focused on raising the game in the middleweight category all over again. As a result, weve delivered a significant step-up, with more performance, more capability, more all-day comfort, and an aggressive style and poise. In the UK, the Tiger 900 GT will start from 12,195 OTR, the Tiger 900 GT Pro from 13,895 OTR and the Tiger 900 Rally Pro from 14,495 OTR.

An instant success in endurance races, the exclusive Thruxton aptly earning its biggest accolade by claiming all three podium places at the 1969 Thruxton 500-mile race. With success at the Isle of Man TT following shortly after, the Thruxton became the first production motorcycle to lap the Mountain Course at over 100mph. The Thruxtons uncompromised racing style, handling and performance was a must for those protagonists of the traffic light Grand Prix, the world over. The thoroughly modern Thruxton In 2016 the first 1200cc Thruxton, the R, hit the showrooms, creating a new performance benchmark in this fast-growing category. Three years on, the Thruxton RS took the genre into new territories. Increased power, improved handling and a specification like no other ensured the 2019 Thruxton RS had peerless performance and the looks to match. The final evolution The absolute pinnacle of Thruxton development, celebrated with the exclusive and exquisite Final Edition. Hand-painted perfection, and available for just one last production run.

Sitting in second behind its smaller sibling in the custom bike segment of the 2023 European sales chart, the CMX1100 Rebel receives two brand new colours of its own for 2024: Glint Wave Blue Metallic and Iridium Gray Metallic. The CMX1100T, which was introduced last year and features a broad aerodynamic half fairing and hard panniers for extended comfort and long-distance adventures, gains a revised new look with the Gunmetal Black Metallic colour scheme now featuring bronze wheels. The GL1800 Gold Wing and Gold Wing Tour are due to start arriving in dealers across Europe in December, with the CMX500 and CMX1100 Rebels due in early 2024.

The 2024 models have also been precisely tuned to deliver the perfect balance of power delivery for both on and off-road riding. Peak power now arrives slightly earlier in the rev range, reaching 90 PS at 7,000 RPM, with peak torque of 110 Nm also arriving earlier, at 4,250 RPM. The unmistakable high-specification twin-exhaust system is completed by brushed stainless steel silencers, delivering that trademark deep and characterful Scrambler tone. PREMIUM SPECIFICATION Both variants share the same dedicated tubular steel Scrambler frame, as well as high specification side-laced stainless steel wire spoked wheels with lightweight and durable aluminium rims. The two models provide key ergonomic differences, including different handlebar designs, with the XE measuring 65mm wider than the X ensuring greater control on more challenging off-road terrain. Reversible risers enable riders to adjust the handlebar position, and the XE also features a removable spacer, for a 10mm height adjustment. Expanding ergonomics even further, the XE also boasts adjustable foot controls to suit a variety of riding styles and footwear. Both bikes feature a twin-sided, premium cast aluminium swing arm. At 579mm, the XE has a 32mm longer swingarm and a longer wheelbase than the X, enhancing control and confidence on difficult off-road terrain, while the Xs shorter wheelbase contributes to an agile and responsive road-ride. These bikes are also equipped with top of the range Metzeler tyres. The X benefits from the road-focused, dual-purpose Karoo Street, while the XE variant runs on Metzeler Tourance, contributing to its unparalleled balance of road and off-road capability. For even more extreme off-road capability, the Triumph-approved Michelin Anakee Wild is the tyre of choice. Both models are kitted out with high specification suspension. The X variant features road biased MarzocchiTM 45mm cartridge forks at the front and suspension units supporting at the rear. The rear suspension units come with piggy-back reservoirs and adjustable preload, allowing customers to fine tune their riding experience on the road and beyond. The XE has a more off-road focused setup, with optimised MarzocchiTM 45mm forks and premium, twin spring MarzocchiTM suspension units which are fully adjustable and have more incrementality in adjustment for compression and rebound, giving even greater control. This optimised suspension provides a significant 250mm of wheel travel front and rear for unparalleled off-road capability and ground clearance. STATE OF THE ART EQUIPMENT When it comes to braking, both models feature state of the art equipment for guaranteed efficiency across road and dirt. The XE boasts powerful latest generation BremboTM Stylema radial Monoblock front callipers with twin 320mm floating discs, providing class-leading braking performance. While the front is taken care of, the rear is held down by a 255mm disk with a Nissin caliper, further maximising braking performance. The X model features twin 310mm floating front discs, with Nissin twin-piston axial callipers. Meanwhile, the rear is supported by a 255mm rear disc and a Nissin floating brake caliper, to deliver a confident braking performance on the road. The front brake lever position can also be adjusted to the riders preference on both models. FEATURING NEW AND IMPROVED RIDER-FOCUSED TECHNOLOGY The Scrambler X and XE both feature optimised cornering ABS and optimised cornering traction control, regulating intervention to deliver and maintain optimum traction at any lean angle. Five rider modes are available for the Scrambler 1200 X, each with their own dedicated throttle response and specific ABS and traction control settings. Riders can choose from Sport, Road, Rain, Off-Road and Rider Configurable, while the XE also has Off-Road Pro to allow the experienced rider complete uninterrupted control for the most challenging off-road riding. Greater riding stability is achieved thanks to a high specification Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) which has been developed in conjunction with Continental. This system enables the optimisation of cornering ABS and Traction control, automatically selecting the correct setting by measuring roll, pitch, yaw, and acceleration rates to calculate lean angle. With particular focus on enhancing the overall riding experience, the X and XE are both equipped with a torque assist clutch. The Scrambler 1200 XE features integrated and customisable full colour TFT instruments. Two minimal and stylish information layout design themes are available, each with a further three options to change the level of information displayed. The choice between a high or low contrast display is also available, as well as personalised start up screen to make the latest Scrambler XE feel more like your own. The Scrambler 1200 X features a dedicated hybrid multi-function LCD/TFT display, incorporated in an elegantly styled circular instrument dial. This compact, and minimal display can be easily read at a glance. UNMISTAKABLE SCRAMBLER CUSTOM STYLE Both models feature the key elements that make the Scrambler simply unmistakable, from their distinctive silhouettes to the signature high-level twin exhaust design and beautifully sculpted fuel tank. Both models feature a classic one-piece ribbed bench seat, in black for the XE and brown for the X and both boast enhanced styling details in the form of a new slimline indicator design and compact taillight housing. The bikes are complete with a variety of striking finishes and details, including sculpted side panels with brushed aluminium Scrambler 1200 badge, the iconic Triumph triangle tank badge, a brushed aluminium Monza-style filler cap and brushed stainless strap. The XE is finished with brushed aluminium mudguards, while the X features high quality painted mudguards. There are three unique colour schemes available for each model. The Scrambler 1200 XE will be available in contemporary Phantom Black & Storm Grey, which features red accents, the bold new Baja Orange & Phantom Black, or ever-popular Sapphire Black. The Scrambler 1200 X is available in rich Carnival Red, cool Ash Grey, or classic Sapphire Black. TAILOR YOUR SCRAMBLER More than 70 genuine accessories are available to bring an even greater touring capability, ranging from heated grips, 35 litre tail bag and high Dakar screen, to high-level front mudguard, handlebar brace and stainless-steel engine bars. The complete rugged luggage system now offers 102 litres of total stowage capacity. THE ORIGINAL SCRAMBLERS AND TODAYS SCRAMBLER SCENE The new Scrambler 1200 line-up can trace its roots directly back to the original Scrambler scene of the early 1950s, where Triumph played a pivotal role and set the template for what made a Scrambler great. Building the leading bikes of the day, stripped back with straight-through twin pipes fitted high or low slung and chopped off Triumphs were the original desert sleds. These inspired the worlds first production scramblers, with the Bonneville T-120TT and the TR6SC. In 2006, with the launch of the very first modern era Scrambler, Triumph again delivered the genesis of a new category. This triggered the world of Scramblers we see today and a whole new global fan base, from urban riders to movie stars, even featuring in the latest Bond film, No Time to Die. ON THE ROAD The Scrambler 1200 X will start from 11,895 OTR, and the Scrambler 1200 XE will start from 13,295 OTR. Orders can be placed now at Sutton Motorcycles, with bikes arriving for retail from January 2024. VIEW 1200 XE VIEW 1200 X Wed, 04 Oct 2023 00:00:00 BST https://www.suttonmotorcycles.com/triumph/news/new-honda-africa-twin-adventure-sports The new CRF1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sports receives major upgrades to further enhance its continent-busting travel abilities. Standard-fit Showa Electronically Equipped Ride Adjustment (Showa EERA) suspension with a reduction in stroke length is matched to a 19-inch front wheel, 110/80-19 tyre and lower seat height. Theres also a 7% boost to peak torque for the 1,084cc engine. New style for the upper fairing is both more muscular and protective. As before, a full electronics package uses a six-axis Inertial Measurement Unit to manage HSTC, cornering ABS, Wheelie Control, Rear Lift Control and cornering detection functionality on the DCT version. Practicality comes in the shape of multiple riding modes, standard fit cruise control, heated grips, USB port, ACC charger and full colour 6.5-inch TFT touchscreen incorporating Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and Bluetooth connectivity. Dual LED headlights feature Daytime Running Lights (DRL) and Cornering Lights. The DCT option receives improved feel from launch and at slow speed. Four tailor-made Genuine Honda Accessory Packs Urban, Rally, Travel and Adventure are ready to create the perfect traveling partner. Its been well over three decades since the Honda XRV650 Africa Twin first rolled into Europe and while the motorcycle that now bears its name launched in 16YM as the CRF1000L Africa Twin was a brand-new motorcycle from the wheels up, it fully inherited the essence and spirit of what made the original so popular. 24YM marks another major update for the CRF1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sports. Updated chassis dynamics based around a new 19in front wheel, more power and torque for the engine, further DCT refinements and a more muscular new look move the model on yet again. The 24YM CRF1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sports shares the frame and engine of the more off-road focussed CRF1100L Africa Twin but has a role very much of its own: to offer riders real continent-crossing long-haul ability and practicality both on and off-road. For 24YM Showa EERA offers optimum constantly-adjusted damping control. Four default modes SOFT, MID, HARD and OFF-ROAD cover every type of riding situation, and theres a USER mode for further fine-tuning on the move. Rear spring preload can also now be adjusted while moving. 24YM also sees the adoption of a 19-inch front wheel (as opposed to 21-inch) wearing a wider 110/80-19 tyre (from 90/90-21). This setup gives more front tyre grip and feedback for better on-road stability and comfort when fully loaded. The seat has a revised cushion thickness for enhanced comfort and is set lower, at 835/855mm. Suspension stroke, front and rear, is reduced to 210/200mm, also for improved on-road handling ability and confident ground reach. To boost acceleration, especially for when two-up and fully loaded, the 1,084cc parallel twin cylinder engine has been tuned via intake, combustion and exhaust development to produce more low- and mid-range torque, with 112Nm at peak and no loss of power, which remains 75kW. Long-range touring credentials come in the shape of a large 24.8L fuel tank, extensive wind protection (from both the redesigned upper fairing and fairing side panels), 5-way height-adjustable screen, large engine sump guard, aluminium rear carrier plus tubeless wheels and tyres. ACC charger and heated grips are also standard fit. DCT has been refined for more natural feel from initial pull-away and at very low speeds. A six-axis Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) controls not only the 7-level HSTC but also 3-level Wheelie Control, Cornering ABS (with off-road setting), Rear Lift Control and DCT cornering detection. There are four default riding modes: URBAN, TOUR, GRAVEL and OFF-ROAD. Tailored for complete control, the riding position features a slim section seat, featuring an increased cushion thickness for added comfort and high-set handlebars. Dual LED Daytime Running Lights (DRL) feature three-stage Cornering Lights that automatically adjust the field of illumination depending on the lean angle, giving optimum visibility for improved safety. Cruise control and heated grips are standard-fit. A full colour Multi Information Display (MID) 6.5-inch TFT touch screen brings immersive engagement with the machines systems, plus Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and Bluetooth connectivity. For 24YM the CRF1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sports will be available in the following paint options, that both feature bold big logo graphics: Matt Ballistic Black Metallic Pearl Glare White (Tricolour) Chassis Showa Electronically Equipped Ride Adjustment (Showa EERA) suspension as standard New 19-inch front wheel mounts a 110/80-19 tyre for improved road handling Lightweight frame, with bolt-on aluminium subframe and light, rigid CRF450R-style swingarm for outstanding rear wheel traction and feel Six-axis Bosch IMU control; cornering ABS provides sure-footed braking and features an off-road setting Showa Electronically Equipped Ride Adjustment (Showa EERA ) suspension was an option for the previous CRF1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sports. Now, for 24YM it is standard fit. Quite simply, the Showa EERA suspension means the rider can select low-speed ride comfort, high speed stability, sporting on-road performance and off-road response at the touch of the screen. Five suspension modes are available: MID sits between hard and soft, for easy handling in a wide range of situations. It is automatically selected with Urban riding mode. HARD is stable, responsive and the firmest damping for two-up and fully laden touring. It is automatically selected with Tour riding mode. SOFT offers a comfortable, secure ride on poor roads with lowest damping force. It is automatically selected with Gravel riding mode. OFF-ROAD gives optimum dirt performance, with gradually increasing fork damping relative to stroke speed and firmer all-round rear shock damping. It is automatically selected with Off-road riding mode. Whereas the above suspension settings are automatically selected according to the riding mode, in USER Riding Mode, the rider can adjust spring preload finely, through 24 steps, front and rear. There is an off-road ABS setting and, when stationary the rear ABS can be turned off completely for off-road riding if required. Engine 1,084cc, twin-cylinder engine generates an extra 7% torque at 112Nm peak, with stronger power and torque in the low to mid-rpm range Compression ratio raised to 10.5:1, alongside development of ECU settings, valve timing, intake and exhaust Unicam 8-valve head, semi-dry sump and slipper clutch The 1,084cc, 8-valve parallel-twin engine produces 75kW @ 7,500rpm (as before) with peak torque increasing to 112Nm @ 5,500rpm (up from 105Nm @ 6,250rpm). Bore remains 92mm with 81.5mm stroke; compression ratio is now 10.5:1 (from 10.1:1). There are significant gains in output of both power and especially torque off the bottom and through the middle of the rev-range when compared to the previous model. There are four default riding mode settings: TOUR, URBAN, GRAVEL and OFF-ROAD to cover most riding conditions and situations plus two further customisable USER settings. Even within the default riding modes, its possible to change some parameters HSTC between levels 1-7 (plus off), Wheelie Control between levels 1-3 (plus off) and DCT S mode shift pattern levels 1-3. TOUR employs the highest level of Power (1), for touring with pillion and luggage plus mid-range Engine Braking (2) with active on-road cornering ABS. URBAN suits wide-ranging riding requirements and uses mid-level Power (2) and Engine Braking (2) with active on-road Cornering ABS. GRAVEL delivers the lowest level of Power (4) and Engine Braking (3). Cornering ABS is active with an off-road setting; in this setting, the rear brake ABS cannot be switched off. OFF-ROAD uses lower-mid level Power (3) and the lowest amount of Engine Braking (3). Cornering ABS is active with an off-road setting; the rear brake ABS can be switched off. USER 1 & 2 modes offer the rider a choice of two distinct personalized setups - choosing between Power levels 1-4 and Engine Braking 1-3, plus HSTC, Wheelie Control and ABS (on-road/off-road) parameters. USER 1 starts out with level 2 Power and Engine Braking, USER 2 uses level 4 Power and 3 Engine Braking.

The much-loved 1084cc parallel twin engine remains at the heart of the Africa Twin family and for 24YM it benefits from significant performance increases in both power and torque in the low and middle rev ranges. Peak power remains at 75Kw, but a 7% increase in maximum torque, now 112Nm, is delivered earlier at 5,500rpm rather than 6,250rpm. The compression ratio goes from 10.1:1 to 10.5:1, which alongside changes to the valve timing, intake ports and ECU settings allows the engine to draw more performance from each stroke. CRF1100L Africa Twin Power and Torque comparison Additional changes to the exhaust system also contribute to the increase in performance, with an new muffler delivering a pleasing pulse note at lower RPM and stronger bass tone as revs increase. Both models will be available with either a manual or a Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT). Honda has sold over 240,000 DCT-equipped motorcycles across Europe since the system first appeared as an option on the VFR1200F in 2009. For 2024, the DCT system on the Africa Twins has been refined to benefit from the engines increased performance, shifting down earlier. The system also benefits from improved cornering detection and now features a more natural feathered feel on initial take off and between first and second gears for increased feel and rider feedback. Last year the Africa Twin pair was Hondas best-selling motorcycle, and 49% of CRF1100L Africa Twin owners, rising to 71% of CRF1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sports owners, selected the option of Hondas unique DCT. CRF1100L Africa Twin Headlining the chassis updates - the athletic, lightweight and sporty CRF1100L Africa Twin will now be available with Showa Electronically Equipped Ride Adjustment (Showa EERA) as an option, featuring suspension settings specifically developed for the bike. Only available previously on the Adventure Sports, Showa EERA offers optimised damping in all riding conditions, as well as the ability to change rear spring preload on the move via the 6.5in touchscreen display. Available in 5 modes - SOFT, MID, HARD, OFF-ROAD and USER, the systems flexibility means that damping adjustment can be programmed to suit the riders preference at the touch of a button, Keeping its off-road performance-focused 21in front wheel, the CRF1100L Africa Twin now features tubeless Metzler Karoo Street tyres as standard fitment, that allow for swift puncture repairs when riding without the need to remove a wheel. When the rider wants to head fully off-road, block pattern Michelin Anakee Wild tyres are also approved for use. To make long-range road riding more comfortable, mounted to an updated, aggressively-designed front fairing, a new larger 5-way adjustable screen, offers maximum forward visibility or increased wind protection depending on rider choice. The CRF1100L Africa Twin will be available in Grand Prix Red and Matt Ballistic Black Metallic. As well as being available in the same colours, the CRF1100 Africa Twin with Showa EERA will also be on sale in a third colour called Pearl Glare White and Glint Wave Blue Metallic Tricolour and will feature heated grips and an ACC socket as standard. CRF1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sports The continent-crossing CRF1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sports - which in 2022 accounted for 56% of Africa Twin sales in Europe also benefits from a series of performance and practical updates for 24YM that further enhance its on-road, long distance appeal. The most obvious change over the previous model is a substantial update to the front end. Led by the addition of a new 19in front wheel, suspension stroke from the now standard Showa EERA has been reduced by 20mm. Alongside the fitment of a wider front tyre, these combine to give the rider more front-end grip and feedback, especially when fully loaded or two up, without dramatically compromising off-road performance. This change to the front end also lowers the centre of gravity of the CRF1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sports, contributing to improved low speed manoeuvrability and ground reach. Designed for the long-range ride, the CRF1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sports has had its front fairing aggressively redesigned to improve upper body wind deflection and aerodynamics. Like its sibling, it features a 5-level height adjustable screen. The seat is new and uses a +15mm thicker urethane foam cushion with optimised density to reduce long-distance riding fatigue. The CRF1100L Africa Twin will be available in Matt Ballistic Black Metallic and Pearl Glare White Tricolour. *** To ensure that the Africa Twin rider can have their bike just the way they want it, dedicated accessories are available that enhance the off-road durability and performance, long distance comfort and practicality of each Africa Twin. Available individually or in four dedicated packs - Rally, Adventure, Urban and Travel - the accessories include up to 128L of luggage, additional chassis protection and low seat options. Since their capacity increase to 1100cc in 20YM, approximately 20,000 CRF1100L Africa Twin and 25,000 CRF1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sports have been sold across Europe, and since its return for 2016, over 85,000 models with the legendary Africa Twin name have been registered. The 24YM CRF1100L Africa Twin and CRF1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sports will start to arrive in dealers across Europe in from November 2024. VIEW AFRICA TWIN VIEW AFRICA TWIN ADV Wed, 04 Oct 2023 00:00:00 BST https://www.suttonmotorcycles.com/triumph/news/new-honda-africa-twin Its been well over three decades since the Honda XRV650 Africa Twin first rolled into Europe and while the motorcycle that now bears its name launched for 16YM as the CRF1000L Africa Twin was a brand-new machine from the wheels up, it fully inherited the essence and spirit of what made the original so popular. It was the balance between power and light weight that was at the heart of the original bikes appeal, just as it was for the new model. With its unique, athletic appearance, an enjoyable, usable engine and capable, comfortable chassis, the CRF1000L Africa Twin proved itself a true modern-day all-rounder and has been hugely popular with round-the-world adventurers, around-town commuters and weekend tourers alike, with over 85,000 units bearing the Africa Twin name sold since its return. 24YM denotes another major step forward in the models evolution with a new Electronic Suspension (ES) choice, more torque from the engine, further DCT improvements and enhanced equipment levels that build further appeal into an already supremely desirable and popular motorcycle. Model Overview The 24YM CRF1100L Africa Twin carries a strong focus on core off-road ability, with the look and feel of a slim rally machine. For 24YM the 1,084cc parallel twin cylinder engine has been tuned via intake, combustion and exhaust development to produce more low and mid-range torque, and a 7% increase of peak torque to 112Nm; peak power remains at 75kW. Two options are now available. The CRF1100L Africa Twin, with standard Showa suspension, and the CRF1100L Africa Twin ES, which features Showa Electronically Equipped Ride Adjustment (Showa EERA). Showa EERA offers optimised damping in all riding conditions, as well as the ability to change rear spring preload on the move. The CRF1100L Africa Twin ES also includes an ACC charging socket and heated grips as standard, just like its CRF1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sports sibling. Both Africa Twin variants share a rugged steel frame, CRF450R-derived aluminium swingarm, chassis geometry, suspension travel and ground clearance, all of which are unchanged. A new, but important addition for 24YM is the adoption of tubeless rather than tubed tyres, which allow for easier repairs without the need to remove the wheel. The 24YM CRF1100L Africa Twin will be available in three paint options that all feature bold mountain graphics: Grand Prix Red Matt Ballistic Black Metallic Pearl Glare White and Glint Wave Blue Metallic Tricolour (only available on the CRF1100L Africa Twin ES) 3.1 Chassis New option of Showa Electronically Equipped Ride Adjustment (Showa EERATM) suspension; standard Showa suspension remains available Lightweight frame, with bolt-on aluminium subframe and light, rigid CRF450R-style swingarm for outstanding rear wheel traction and feel Six-axis Bosch IMU control; cornering ABS provides sure-footed braking and features an off-road setting 21/18-inch wheels now mount tubeless tyres New for 24YM is a Showa Electronically Equipped Ride Adjustment (Showa EERA) suspension option, with settings specifically developed for the CRF1100L Africa Twin ES. Proven on the Africa Twin Adventure Sports and featuring the same stroke as the standard bike (230mm front/220mm rear), the system automatically provides optimum damping force relative to the stroke speed. The systems flexibility means that damping adjustment can be programmed to change as the vehicle speed changes allowing firmer damping at higher speeds, for example. In addition, it can adapt to specific circumstances such as preparing the bikes suspension for landing from a jump, or reducing dive under hard braking. Five suspension modes are available: MID sits between hard and soft, for easy handling in a wide range of situations. It is automatically selected with Urban riding mode. HARD is stable, responsive and the firmest damping for two-up and fully laden touring. It is automatically selected with Tour riding mode. SOFT offers a comfortable, secure ride on poor roads with lowest damping force. It is automatically selected with Gravel riding mode. OFF-ROAD gives optimum dirt performance, with gradually increasing fork damping relative to stroke speed and firmer all-round rear shock damping. It is automatically selected with Off-road riding mode. Whereas the above suspension settings are automatically selected according to the riding mode, in USER Riding Mode, the rider can adjust spring preload finely, through 24 steps, front and rear. 3.2 Engine 1,084cc, twin-cylinder engine generates an extra 7% torque at 112Nm peak, with stronger power and torque in the low to mid-rpm range Compression ratio raised to 10.5:1, alongside development of ECU settings, valve timing, intake and exhaust Unicam 8-valve head, semi-dry sump and slipper clutch There are four default riding mode settings: TOUR, URBAN, GRAVEL and OFF-ROAD to cover most riding conditions and situations plus two further customisable USER settings. Even within the default riding modes, its possible to change some parameters HSTC between levels 1-7 (plus off), Wheelie Control between levels 1-3 (plus off) and DCT S mode shift pattern levels 1-3. TOUR employs the highest level of Power (1), for touring with pillion and luggage plus mid-range Engine Braking (2) with active on-road Cornering ABS. URBAN suits wide-ranging riding requirements and uses mid-level Power (2) and Engine Braking (2) with active on-road Cornering ABS. GRAVEL delivers the lowest level of Power (4) and Engine Braking (3). Cornering ABS is active with an off-road setting; in this setting, the rear brake ABS cannot be switched off. OFF-ROAD uses lower-mid level Power (3) and the lowest amount of Engine Braking (3). Cornering ABS is active with an off-road setting; the rear brake ABS can be switched off. USER 1 & 2 modes offer the rider a choice of two distinct personalized setups - choosing between Power levels 1-4 and Engine Braking 1-3, plus HSTC, Wheelie Control and ABS (on-road/off-road) parameters. USER 1 starts out with level 2 Power and Engine Braking, USER 2 uses level 4 Power and 3 Engine Braking. 3.5 Styling & Equipment New 5-way height adjustable screen and upper fairing extend on-road comfort Africa Twin ES gains heated grips and ACC charging socket Compact body style designed for off-road, with slim seat and high handlebars Multi Information Display (MID) 6.5-inch TFT touch screen, Apple CarPlayand Android Auto compatible Bluetooth connectivity, Daytime Running Lights (DRL) and Cruise Control Aggressive and compact. Two words that sum up the CRF1100L Africa Twins taut rally-style bodywork. And its for a reason to work better off-road. Its been redrawn a little sharper for 24YM, with a new front fairing and rear seat unit. Plus, the addition of a new, 5-stage height adjustable screen makes longer road rides, or commuting in and out of town, more comfortable. The CRF1100L Africa Twin ES also gets heated grips and an ACC charging socket as standard for increased practicality. The front and rear indicators have an Emergency Stop Signal (ESS) function. When braking suddenly over 50kph the hazard lights flash to warn other road users a hard stop is in process. They also auto-cancel; rather than using a simple timer, the system compares front and rear wheel speed difference and calculates when to cancel the indication relative to the situation. The auto-cancel feature can be switched off and standard-fit cruise control eases long-distance highway travel. A new high-performance, lightweight and compact lithium-ion battery is standard fit, contributing to mass centralisation. Accessories Huge range of Genuine Honda Accessories ready to go, from tank pads to full Pannier/Top Box luggage solutions and each a perfect fit for the Africa Twin Accessories are available individually or in dedicated accessory packs Rally, Adventure, Urban and Travel Packs make perfect customisation easy For a bike like the Africa Twin which is going to cover a lot of ground, on or off-road accessories really matter to an owner. And the range from Honda grows year on year with each part, no matter how small or large, driven by customer use, designed by R&D engineers in Japan and manufactured in Honda centres around the world to exacting standards. Rally Pack Designed to enhance the off-road durability and performance. The pack features wide Rally Footpegs for extra leverage and control and Engine Guards/Radiator Grill to minimise damage. For the Africa Twin with manual transmission a Quickshifter is included, while the DCT option gains a Foot Shift Lever. Colour-matched Knuckle Guard Extenders add weather protection, Wheel Stripes add an exclusive splash of colour that complement the overall look. Adventure Pack Ready for the long haul. New Front Side Pipes protect bodywork and are constructed from 25mm stainless steel with a polished, electrolytic coating that resists corrosion and is also easy to clean. They also mount the dual Fog Lights in a higher, more aggressive position that on previous models. A 4.5L tank bag provides flexible, easy-to-access storage, while new Side Tank Pads protect paint from knee scuffs and provide additional grip for off-road riding. Urban Pack Available in two options plastic or aluminium. In plastic, a newly redesigned stripe design compliments the 58L Top Box (enough for 2 full-face helmets, comes with a Carrier Bracket, pillion Backrest and Inner Bag.

Seat Options Compared to the standard design the Comfort Seat has an 8% larger surface area compared to previous models and uses a +15mm thicker urethane foam cushion with optimised density to reduce long-distance riding fatigue. The Comfort Seat gives a seat height range of 865/885mm and is available in 3 colour choices: Black/Black, Red/Black and Blue/Black. The Low Seat option drops down to 825/845mm. Wed, 04 Oct 2023 00:00:00 BST https://www.suttonmotorcycles.com/triumph/news/the-new-honda-24ym-nt1100-europes-most-popular-touring-motorcycle In a motorcycling landscape full of adventure-styled bikes many riders desire performance, handling, long range comfort, and technology but not necessarily the image or physical dimensions of adventure. In other words, what they want is a straightforward touring machine, but one with a rich specification list and a sporty edge to its performance the sort of bike that deals with the weekday commute efficiently and usefully and is also ready for an extended tour, fully loaded. The NT1100 is precisely that bike. Introduced in 2022 its designed to draw those with a long memory of similar Honda machines of the past, but also attract a much younger rider. Employing the frame and characterful twin-cylinder engine of the CRF1100L Africa Twin as a base, engaging performance is assured. But the NT1100 is also packed with features and technology that build and broaden any motorcycles appeal. With this combination of performance and rich specification, its no surprise that the NT1100 was Europes most popular Touring bike in 2023 so far, with nearly 12,000 models sold since its introduction. Adding to its wide-ranging appeal, Matt Blue Jeans Metallic and Candy Chromosphere Red join the perennially popular Matt Iridium Gray Metallic in the NT1100 line-up, with all three colours featuring a new Matt Ballistic Black Metallic coloured rear carrier. 3.1 Styling & Equipment Sleek styling offers excellent aerodynamic performance 5-stage screen height and angle adjustment plus upper/lower wind deflectors Panniers standard equipment, as are heated grips and cruise control 5-inch TFT touch screen includes Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and Bluetooth connectivity USB socket, centre stand and ACC socket as standard The NT1100 has been designed, from the outset, as a sporting, agile bike but one thats also enjoyable to ride all day with efficient, protective aerodynamics and easy-going ergonomics centred around rider comfort. Styling is subtly sophisticated with straightforward surfaces that emphasise key character lines. Dynamic elegance front to back are the defining features of the design language of the NT1100. And of course, this motorcycles sleek form is also about function aimed to elevate the quality of the riding experience. Fitted as standard, upper and lower deflectors provide wind and weather protection around arms and lower body. The screen offers 5-stage adjustment for height and angle through a total 164mm between the high/low position. Set low, it sends air around the shoulders; set high it moves air over the riders helmet. Heated grips are standard equipment, as is cruise control. 3.2 Chassis CRF1100L steel semi-double cradle frame and bolt-on aluminium subframe Sharp steering geometry and high spec suspension front and rear Showa 43mm inverted front forks and rear shock with hydraulic preload adjustment Dual 310mm front discs and 4-piston radial-mount calipers The NT1100s underpinnings are well-proven and tough the Africa Twin CRF1100Ls steel semi-double cradle frame and bolt-on aluminium subframe. To suit the all-round, sporting purpose of the NT1100, the off-road ready suspension of its sibling has been replaced by road-focused equipment matched to sharper steering geometry. The 43mm Showa cartridge-type inverted front forks feature 150mm travel and are preload adjustable. Like the forks, the single-tube pressurised Showa rear shock offers 150mm axle travel; it uses a 14mm diameter rod. To make carrying a pillion and/or luggage easier spring preload adjusts hydraulically, and remotely. The wheels are aluminium, fine die-cast with a sand core allowing a hollow hub centre for the front. An intersecting spoke design (with the spokes attaching to the rim diagonally) offers several benefits: it smooths road vibration in a straight line and offers high rigidity for cornering. Tyres are sized 120/70-17 front and 180/55-17 rear. Wheelbase is set at 1535mm, with rake and trail of 26.5/108mm and 175mm ground clearance. Kerb weight for the NT1100 with manual transmission is 238kg, 248kg with DCT. Dual 310mm front discs are squeezed by lightweight, 4-piston radial-mount calipers. The rear 256mm disc uses a 1-piston caliper. All braking is ABS-controlled. 3.3 Engine 1,084cc SOHC 8-valve parallel twin-cylinder engine Power and torque output of 75kW/104Nm Intake and exhaust tuned to deliver smooth, powerful acceleration and pleasing low-rpm throb The 1,084cc SOHC 8-valve parallel twin-cylinder engine is the well-proven unit from the CRF1100L Africa Twin, with peak power of 75kW @ 7,250rpm and 104Nm @ 6,250rpm peak torque. Compression ratio is identical at 10.1:1. Another shared feature is the 270 phased crankshaft and uneven firing interval. Throttle By Wire (TBW) provides engine management and PGM-FI feeds the throttle bodies. Where the engine tune differs to the Africa Twin and immediately noticeable to the rider are the optimisation of both air intake duct length and muffler internals to produce a pleasing, low-rpm throb and smooth, powerful acceleration married to relaxed highway cruising perfect for the wide-ranging duties the NT1100 is built for. 3.4 Engine Electronics 3 default riding modes to choose from, plus two customisable USER modes 3-level Honda Selectable Torque Control 3-level Wheelie Control TBW manages engine performance and character, plus Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) and Wheelie Control. There are 3 pre-set modes for the rider to choose covering a wide variety of riding conditions and 3 levels of management for Power and Engine Braking, with level 1 delivering the maximum of either parameter. For HSTC and Wheelie Control level 3 provides the highest intervention. Mode selection is managed from the left-hand switchgear; an indicator in the instrument display activates when HSTC is working. URBAN is standard and offers an all-round middle setting of engine power and engine braking. RAIN reduces engine power and engine braking for extra reassurance on wet or slippery surfaces. TOUR gives full engine power and standard engine braking, for strong acceleration while carrying a pillion and luggage. USER 1 and 2 modes offer the ability to customise between the settings for the preferred combination. Once set, the USER setting is automatically stored so theres no need to re-set each time the ignition is turned on. Accessories There are a range of accessories tailor made ready for the NT1100, including quickshifter with autoblipper function, and aluminium cosmetic panels for the luggage. To make it easy for an owner to get their NT1100 the way they want it, 3 packs are also available (all items can also be purchased separately): The Urban Pack has been developed to enhance the NT1100 commuter abilities and features: 50L top box with inner bag, comfort back rest, 5L tank bag. The Touring Pack increases the luggage capacity of the NT1100, further strengthening the touring comfort and features: Rider/pillion comfort seats, comfort pillion footpegs fog lights. The Voyage Pack is the ultimate accessory pack for the NT1100 and combines both the Urban and Touring Packs and features 50L top box with inner bag, comfort back rest, 5L tank bag, rider/pillion comfort seats, comfort pillion footpegs fog lights. Other accessories available for the NT1100 include: 38L top box Parking lever and cover 3L Tank Bag Quick Shifter for MT version Aluminium pannier and top box panel Decorative stripes set Tue, 26 Sep 2023 00:00:00 BST https://www.suttonmotorcycles.com/triumph/news/active-preload-reduction-launches-for-tiger-1200 Triumph Motorcycles has released a brand-new enhancement to its advanced Showa semi-active suspension across the all-new Tiger 1200 range, which was first launched in November 2021. The new Active Preload Reduction feature has been developed to reduce the rear suspension preload as the Tiger 1200 slows, allowing the seat heights to be reduced. For the GT, GT Pro and GT Explorer there are currently two seat height settings 850mm and 870mm, while for the Rally Pro and Rally Explorer these are 875mm and 895mm. Through the accessory-fit low seat option, customers are already able to lower the seat position by an additional 20mm, giving a lowest seat height of 830mm on the GT family and 855mm on the Rally family. The new Active Preload Reduction feature allows these seat heights to be reduced further. Depending on the combined weight of the rider, pillion and luggage this could lower the riding height by up to 20mm when the motorcycle comes to a standstill, offering the rider greater ease and confidence. New customers will be able to access this new minimum preload feature by simply pressing the Home button on the switch cube for one second. Chief Product Officer Steve Sargent said: The new Tiger 1200 range is already a global success, attracting new fans and increasing Triumphs share of this highly competitive market. This new feature can be enabled on the fly, lowering the centre of gravity at slower speeds, making it even more accessible, offering riders more confidence at slow speeds and better contact with the ground as they come to stop. The new update will be available to existing Tiger 1200 customers via their dealer at their next service. The all-new Tiger 1200 was designed to be the worlds most capable, agile and manoeuvrable large capacity adventure motorcycle, and the range includes the GT family, tailor made for the perfect road-focused adventure ride, and the Rally family, perfect for an all-terrain adventure. The Tiger 1200 GT Explorer with its 30 litre tank was even the bike of choice for Enduro World Champion Ivan Cervantes when he broke the record for riding the furthest in 24 hours on a motorcycle. Tue, 12 Sep 2023 00:00:00 BST https://www.suttonmotorcycles.com/triumph/news/new-triumph-tiger-900-aragn-editions-launched In July 2022, Ivn Cervantes secured victory in the Baja Aragn, one of the most demanding races known to two wheels. One year on, Triumph celebrates this stand-out performance with the launch of the Tiger 900 Rally Aragn and the Tiger 900 GT Aragn. Available in 2023 only, these special editions each feature unique liveries and specification. Piloting a Tiger 900 Rally Pro, Cervantes dominated the 450km race, crossing the line an impressive 1 hour and 6 minutes ahead of his rivals, demonstrating the Tigers ability to endure some of the harshest terrain at an elite level of competition. Both Tiger 900 Aragn editions deliver all the specification, technology and capability that the market-leading Tiger 900 GT Pro and Rally Pro are known for. Their advanced performance, accompanied by two fresh new looks, preserves the ultimate feel of aggression and attitude, while also adding that race-ready edge. The Tiger 900 Rally Aragn dons a triple colour of Matt Phantom Black, Matt Graphite and Crystal White, featuring distinct Racing Yellow accents paired seamlessly with Triumph Tiger and Aragn Edition detailing, as well as a new and unique twin colour seat design. The GT Aragn follows suit with Triumph Tiger and Aragn Edition detailing, in addition to a refreshing twin colour seat design, but instead features a triple colour scheme of Diablo Red, Matt Phantom Black and Crystal White to echo a bold and elegant feel. Both models continue to boast an impressive 87 Nm of peak torque at 7,250 rpm, as well as a slip and assist clutch, to deliver a rich triple performance. Maintaining a lightweight modular frame and high specification suspension, these new additions to the Tiger family are tailored to optimise both road and off-road potential with the ultimate agile and dynamic handling experience. Further maximising handling, the GT Aragn Edition carries fully adjustable 45mm USD Marzocchi cartridge forks with electronically adjustable RSU, whereas the Rally Aragn Edition features Showa forks tuned for even greater off-road performance. Engine protection bars are fitted as standard to both Aragn Editions, while the Rally Aragn Edition also has fuel tank protection bars as standard to top off the ultimate competitive aesthetic. A collection of over 65 dedicated accessory options is available for both models, allowing you to tailor your machine to suit your own adventure.

Commenting on the Best Adventure Sub-1000cc award, MCN said: Equipped with a light chassis, a punchy parallel twin, riding aids and a colour TFT display that allows for connectivity, the Transalp offers a full package for very sensible money. From blasting up and down the smooth tarmac curves on the side of Mount Etna to tackling sodden green lanes in the heart of Lincolnshire, it performs admirably. The Transalp really is a do-it-all machine, that offers a broad range of capability at a sensible price. Complimenting an already extensive scooter range, the ADV350 mixes the tough adventure style of its X-ADV sibling with a rugged chassis specification that includes tubular steel frame, 37mm USD forks and remote reservoir rear shocks. The screen is height adjustable, theres room for two full-face helmets under the seat and a USB Type-C socket in the glovebox. An LCD dash integrates the Honda Smartphone Voice Control system, while Smart Key operation adds day-to-day riding convenience. On the Best Urban Petrol award for the ADV350, MCN stated: A bike that is unashamedly unique in its outlook, the ADV350 makes for a practical urban bike that delivers genuine big-bike handling and braking performance with a level of road presence that brings effortless confidence. Developing such a leftfield bike was certainly a risk but with the ADV350, Hondas bravery has definitely paid off. The Honda CB500X was again named the Best A2 bike for the fifth consecutive year, with the junior adventurer continuing to earn plaudits for its all-round ability. On the award, MCN commented: Scooping the award for a remarkable fifth year running, Hondas CB500X remains the best do-it-all for those on a restricted licence. Or even those who hold a full licence and just want an easy-going machine that is economical, bags of fun, sweet handling and comfortable for either a daily commute or weekend adventure away. Effortlessly versatile and well-priced, it is no wonder the CB500X is such a popular model in Hondas range. Reflecting on the awards, Neil Fletcher, Head of Motorcycles at Honda UK said, Motor Cycle News is a leading authority on motorcycles, so we are all delighted to continue this winning streak. Its great to see both the ADV350 and CB500X winning on multiple occasions, the latter now winning for the fifth consecutive year showing how versatile a product it is for both new and existing riders. But to see the Transalp return to our product line up and take the honours in such a competitive sector, is hugely satisfying!

Headlining the X-ADV line-up for 24YM are two new Special Editions. Available across Europe in both Iridium Grey Metallic and Grand Prix Red, both Special Editions will also feature striking big logo graphics. Last year the X-ADV was Hondas third best-selling motorcycle over 350cc outsold only by the Neo Sports Caf middleweight CB650R and the athletic CRF1100L Africa Twin. Since its introduction in 2016 as a ground-breaking new two-wheeled SUV, Honda have sold nearly 60,000 X-ADVs across Europe.

Since 2000, Hondas Forza range of scooters have been a powerful force in Europe, with brand-within-brand levels of recognition. The success is down to a compelling combination of ingredients: the classic Grand Touring (GT) elements of strong road presence and genuine comfort for two have always been mixed in the Forza recipe with sporty, agile handling and lusty engine performance that makes every ride a blast. Furthermore, every Forza model has always been known as a supremely smart, stylish and premium product, loaded with useful features that make life on the move that much easier, with a build quality and styling that exudes class. In 2021 the Forza 125 and Forza 350 were joined by a large capacity sibling, the Forza 750. Fast, agile and luxurious, the Forza 750 launched to critical acclaim and has made its presence felt in a hotly-contested segment of the market. As equipped for the daily commute, in and out of town, as it is for a weekend tour, it is the epitome of quality and practicality. A rational choice, yes, but true to its Forza pedigree, its also something else a whole load of stylish fun. Following in the tyre tracks of the CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP, in 2021 the Forza 750 won the prestigious Red Dot Award for outstanding motorcycle design thanks to it elegant aura, sporty performance and outstanding versatility. For 24YM, a striking new colour is joined by two new twists to the existing colours, including a stylish blacked out version, that further cement its aspirational status.

Theres also a useful, and easy-to-access, glove compartment in the right-side inner fairing. Incorporated into the rider interface and viewed through the 5-inch TFT display is the Honda Smartphone Voice Control system which links the rider to their smartphone while on the move and allows voice management of phone calls, email, music and navigation. A helmet-mounted headset is needed and the smartphone connects to the dash via Bluetooth; management of Honda Smartphone Voice Control is also possible from buttons on the left switchgear. For added convenience the Forza 750 uses a Smart Key, which lives in the riders pocket and does away with the need to use a key for ignition, fuel cap and seat. With the Smart Key present, one push of the knob-type main switch powers it up and makes it possible to turn, giving the rider control of the ignition/steering lock and, via two rocker switches, the fuel cap and seat. It also locks and unlocks the optional Smart Top Box, and has an answer back function which makes the indicators flash for easy identification from a distance. A clutch mechanism in the main switch stops the handlebars unlocking by force. The rear indicators have an Emergency Stop Signal (ESS) function. If negative acceleration of 6.0m/s2 is detected at a minimum speed of 53km/h with either brake working, the hazard lights flash to warn other road users a hard stop is in process. At the same speed the threshold is reduced if ABS is activated to a negative acceleration of a minimum 2.5m/s2. They also auto-cancel; rather than using a simple timer, the system compares front and rear wheel speed difference and calculates when to cancel the indication relative to the situation. Key Features - Engine Peak power of 1kW, with 69Nm torque and 7,000rpm redline Throttle By Wire engine management 8km/l possible (WMTC mode) 35kW A2 licence version available The design of the Forza 750s liquid-cooled, SOHC 8-valve parallel twin-cylinder engine ensures punchy performance in the low-to-mid range. Its relatively long-stroke architecture fto produce large amounts of effortless torque from very low rpm. Throttle By Wire (TBW) manages engine output and character (see 3.3 Engine Electronics section). Peak power is 43.1kW @ 6,750rpm with maximum torque of 69Nm @ 4,750rpm, capped by a 7,000rpm redline. The Forza 750 will cover 0-50m in 3.9s and at 60km/h the engine is turning over at just 2,500rpm. Twin balancers counteract vibration from higher rpm inertia without affecting the distinct throb delivered by the engines irregular firing order and 270 phased crankshaft. Bore and stroke is set at 77 x 80mm. Where possible components are made to do more than one job: the camshaft drives the water pump, while one of the balancer shafts drives the oil pump. By keeping the number of parts to a minimum in this way, the engine is kept light, efficient and reliable. For A2 licence holders a 35kW version is available, which can be easily converted to the full power version by a Honda dealer at the appropriate time. Equally, it is possible to restrict the full power version to 35kW by a Honda dealer replacing the standard throttle body and remapping the ECU. The Forza 750 engine is exceptionally frugal with a measured consumption of 27.8km/l (WMTC mode) providing a potential 370km cruising range from the 13.2-litre fuel tank. Key Features - Engine Electronics Throttle By Wire delivers 3 default riding modes, plus USER customisation Honda Selectable Torque Control features much finer management and 3 levels of intervention With TBW managing engine performance and character there are 3 modes for the rider to choose from, covering a wide range of riding conditions. Mode selection is managed between the left-hand switchgear and TFT display. STANDARD delivers a balanced middle point between engine power delivery, engine braking and HSTC, with high ABS. SPORT gives more aggressive engine power delivery and braking, with low HSTC intervention and high ABS. RAIN transmits low engine power delivery and braking, with high HSTC and ABS input. USER offers custom options of low/medium/high between engine power/braking, low/medium/high/off for HSTC. Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) offers unobtrusive operation and refined control as it manages rear wheel torque thanks to TBW, over 3 levels: Level 1 allows the minimum intervention for the lightest control over rear wheel spin. Level 2 is the default setting and provides confidence-inspiring traction for general riding conditions. Level 3 provides maximum control for slippery roads. HSTC can also be switched OFF. Key Features - Dual Clutch Transmission Differing shifting schedules employed depending on riding mode selected USER mode allows choice of 4 settings, from smooth to aggressive Hondas DCT technology is now in its 14th year of production, and over 230,000 DCT-equipped Honda two-wheelers have been sold in Europe since 2010. It delivers consistent, seamless gear changes and very quickly becomes second nature in use. It uses two clutches: one for start-up and 1st, 3rd and 5th gears, the other for 2nd, 4th and 6th, with the mainshaft for each clutch located inside the other for compact packaging. Each clutch is independently controlled by its own electro-hydraulic circuit. When a gear change occurs, the system pre-selects the target gear using the clutch not currently in use. The first clutch is then electronically disengaged as, simultaneously, the second clutch engages. The result is a consistent, fast and seamless gear change. Furthermore, as the twin clutches transfer drive from one gear to the next with minimal interruption of the drive to the rear wheel, any gear change shock and pitching of the machine is minimised, making the change feel direct as well as smooth. Extra benefits include durability (as the gears cannot be damaged by missing a gear), impossibility of stalling, low stress urban riding, reduced rider fatigue and extra brain space to concentrate on pure riding aspects such as riding line, cornering, braking and acceleration points. The DCT system offers two distinct riding approaches the Automatic settings, with pre-programmed shift patterns which constantly read vehicle speed, gear selected and engine rpm to decide when a shift should occur, and the Manual Transmission setting for gear changes using the paddle-shift style triggers on the left handlebar. Through TBW control there are 3 Automatic shifting schedules and USER mode available. Level 1 is the most relaxed, with upshifts and downshifts operating at relatively lower rpm; it is linked with the RAIN riding mode. Level 4, on the other extreme, shifts up at higher rpm and also downshifts earlier for more engine braking effect; it is linked with the SPORT mode. Level 2 is linked with STANDARD riding mode, with Level 3 situated between STANDARD and SPORT. The USER mode functionality allows the rider to select any of the DCT shift patterns with the preferred permutations of the other parameters power delivery, engine braking, and HSTC. Key Features - Chassis Tubular steel diamond frame, 41mm USD fork, Pro-Link suspension and aluminium swingarm Radial mount four-piston front brake calipers, 310mm discs and ABS 17/15-inch cast aluminium front and rear wheels For core strength the Forza 750 uses a rugged tubular steel diamond frame, which neatly packages all ancillaries and gives ample space for the underseat storage area. Rake and trail are set at 27/104mm with wheelbase of 1580mm. Overall wet weight is 235kg. The spring preload adjustable rear shock is a single tube split pressure design and operates the aluminium swingarm constructed from a machined-hollow cross member and U-shaped (in cross section) arms through Pro-Link. The 17-inch front and 15-inch rear cast aluminium wheels deliver confident handling and stability; tyres are sized 120/70 R17 and 160/60 R15 front and rear. Dual radial-mount opposed four-piston calipers grip 310mm discs and work through ABS.

Its rich specification includes Throttle By Wire management, 4 default riding modes and 3 level Honda Selectable Torque Control. The 22L seat storage compartment includes a USB-C charger while a glovebox adds further convenience. Twin LED headlights feature Daytime Running Lights and a 5-inch TFT display allows smartphone connectivity via the Honda Smartphone Voice Control System. For 24YM two new Special Editions that headline the X-ADV line-up are joined by an all-new colour, guaranteeing that the X-ADV will continue to turn heads across Europe. Its not often in the world of motorcycling that a fresh line of thinking emerges to create a new breed of machine. But Honda specializes in innovation and for 16YM unveiled a completely new concept, straight out of left field the X-ADV. The thought processes that led to its birth? Consider the attributes of the average adventure-style motorcycle tough go-anywhere appeal, an upright riding position giving superb visibility and remarkable all-round usefulness, work or play. Then take a look at the typical commuter: it might be a scooter or motorcycle, but in either case it will be easy to manage, nimble and loaded with convenience, efficiency and useful storage space. Hondas forward-thinking engineers combined the two together, and something special happened. The machine they created had a rugged, stylish SUV image fully at home navigating the urban sprawl. And while it was loaded with all of the premium features that enable easy life in the big city, it also had the looks, engine power and chassis ability to inject every ride with the promise of adventure. The X-ADV captured the essence of two-wheeled freedom in an exciting new form and garnered the attention of an army of riders around Europe, eager for something new, and has proved itself a genuine sales success. And, proving its off-road credentials, in the hands of seasoned Italian racer Renato Zocchi a lightly modified version took overall Class 2 victory in the gruelling 7,000km 2019 Gibraltar Rally. And it has not stood still. In 21YM Honda upped the X-ADVs engine performance, trimmed weight, enhanced style and added even more usefulness. In 2022 the X-ADV was Hondas third best-selling motorcycle over 350cc and since its introduction to the line-up, nearly 60,000 have been sold across Europe. With the introduction of two Special Editions and a new colour option for 24YM, the X-ADV continues to cement its position as one of the coolest and most desirable two-wheelers available in Europe today. Model Overview The parallel twin-cylinder engine blends strong low-to mid-range performance with easy manners and excellent fuel efficiency. Peak power is set at 43.1kW with an impressive 69Nm torque. Throttle By Wire (TBW) serves 4 default rider modes plus a custom USER choice, while Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) features refined input over 3 levels. The Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) has Automatic shifting schedules that integrate with the riding modes, as well as USER input. A tough chassis is comprised of a tubular steel frame, 41mm USD front forks, rear monoshock (with Pro-Link) and aluminium swingarm. A 17-inch front wheel is matched to a 15-inch rear with dual, radial-mount four-piston calipers braking up front. The bodywork has a sharp, aggressive edge; dual LED headlights also feature Daytime Running Lights (DRL), as used by the CRF1100L Africa Twin, improving visibility to other road users. For easy ground reach the seat is carefully contoured at the shoulders. The under-seat storage has a 22L volume and also houses a USB-C charging point; theres also a useful glovebox. In addition to rider mode information, the TFT instrument display is also the interface for information relating to the Honda Smartphone Voice Control system. The 24YM X-ADV will be available in the following colour options: **NEW** Iridium Gray Metallic Special Edition with graphite black trim and yellow highlights **NEW** Grand Prix Red Special Edition with graphite black trim **NEW** Puco Blue with graphite black trim Mat Ballistic Black Metallic with graphite black trim Key Features - Engine Throttle By Wire control; peak power figure of 43.1kW with 69Nm torque 6l/100km fuel efficiency 35kW A2 licence version available The design of the X-ADVs liquid-cooled, SOHC 8-valve parallel twin-cylinder engine ensures punchy performance in the low-to-mid range. Its relatively long-stroke architecture and specially shaped combustion chambers combine with the high-inertial mass crankshaft to produce large amounts of effortless torque from very low rpm. A forward cant brings the centre of gravity down for optimum stability. Peak power is set at 43.1kW @ 6,750rpm, with maximum torque of 69Nm @ 4,750rpm. From 30 km/h the X-ADV will cover 20m in 1.7s, 50m in 3.2s, while at 60km/h the torquey engine is turning at just 2,500rpm. For A2 licence holders a 35kW version is available, which can be easily converted to the full power version by a Honda dealer at the appropriate time. Equally, it is possible to restrict the full power version to 35kW by a Honda dealer remapping the ECU. Twin balancers counteract vibration from higher rpm inertia without affecting the distinct throb delivered by the engines irregular firing order and 270 phased crankshaft. Bore and stroke is set at 77 x 80mm. Where possible components are made to do more than one job: the camshaft drives the water pump, while one of the balancer shafts drives the oil pump. By keeping the number of parts to a minimum in this way, the engine is kept light, efficient and reliable. The X-ADV engine also sips fuel with a measured consumption of 27.8km/l (WMTC mode) providing a potential 366km range from the 13.2-litre fuel tank. Key Features - Engine Electronics Throttle By Wire delivers 4 default riding modes, plus USER customisation Honda Selectable Torque Control features 3 levels of intervention With TBW managing engine performance and character there are 4 modes for the rider to choose from, covering all riding conditions. Mode selection is managed by the left-hand switchgear. STANDARD delivers a balanced middle point between engine power delivery, engine braking and HSTC intervention, with the strongest level of ABS intervention. SPORT gives more aggressive engine power delivery and engine braking, with low HSTC intervention, high ABS. RAIN transmits low engine power delivery and engine braking, high HSTC and ABS input. GRAVEL employs high power and engine braking with low HSTC and ABS. USER offers custom options of low/medium/high between engine power delivery and engine braking and low/medium/high/off for HSTC. Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) offers refined control as it uses TBW to manage torque delivered to the rear wheel, with 3 levels of input: Level 1 allows the minimum intervention for some rear wheel spin on gravel or dirt for instance, and its level of intervention is reduced from the previous design. Level 2 is the default setting and provides confidence-inspiring traction for general riding conditions. Level 3 provides maximum control for slippery roads. HSTC can also be switched OFF. Key Features - Dual Clutch Transmission Differing shifting schedules link with riding modes USER mode allows choice of 4 settings, from smooth to aggressive Hondas DCT technology is now in its 14th year of production, and over 230,000 units of DCT-equipped Honda two-wheelers have been sold in Europe since 2010. It delivers consistent, seamless gear changes up or down and very quickly becomes second nature in use. It uses two clutches: one for start-up and 1st, 3rd and 5th, the other for 2nd, 4th and 6th, with the mainshaft for each clutch located inside the other for compact packaging.

Level 2 is linked with STANDARD riding mode, with Level 3 situated between STANDARD and SPORT. For the GRAVEL riding mode, the X-ADV uses the relatively sporty G shifting pattern; this has the added functionality of a decreased level of slip as the clutches operate from a fully open or closed throttle to give the rider more direct feel for traction at the rear wheel, and the ability to perform controlled sliding off road. Whereas this functionality was previously activated by the separate G Switch, it is now integrated into the new G shift pattern of the DCT. The USER mode functionality allows the rider to select any of the DCT shift patterns with the preferred permutations of the other parameters power delivery, engine braking, ABS and HSTC. Key Features - Styling & Equipment Sharp, slim and aggressive SUV styling Honda Smartphone Voice Control System offers smartphone link through 5-inch TFT display Twin LED headlights include Daytime Running Lights Large 22L storage space includes a glovebox, and houses a USB-C charger The X-ADVs unique head-turning styling (conceived and developed by Hondas R&D team in Italy) evolved for 21YM to become slimmer and sharper; the silhouette deliberately upright, with each body-panel honed with strong intent. Dual LED headlights feature Daytime Running Lights (DRL) that automatically adjust to ambient light intensity and give a bright, highly visible light improving safety. All lighting is LED. In terms of ergonomics, the 820mm seat height (shaped for easy ground reach) and wide handlebar set at 910mm ensure a high eye point, giving great visibility. For commuting or touring, the X-ADVs screen adjusts without tools through 5 positions from low-to-high to maximise or minimise airflow. The total height difference is 139mm, with an 11 rake between the highest and lowest points. Incorporated into the X-ADVs rider interface and viewed through the 5-inch TFT display is the Honda Smartphone Voice Control System (HSVCs), which links the rider to their smartphone while on the move and allows voice management of phone calls, email, music and navigation. A helmet-mounted headset is needed, and the smartphone connects to the dash via Bluetooth; management of the system is also possible through buttons on the left switchgear. Tough plastic hand guards deflect wind and rain, while adding protection for hands and levers from stones when off-road. A shot-peened 2.5mm thick aluminium bash plate guards the underside. The under-seat 22L luggage space accommodates a full-face helmet and is lit with an integral LED, whose textured surface delivers uniform illumination without glare. A USB-C charging socket is located at the rear of the compartment. A centre stand with tilt sensor is fitted as standard and allows the X-ADV to be parked on an incline without fear of toppling. For added convenience the X-ADV uses a Smart Key, which lives in the riders pocket and does away with the need to use a key for ignition, fuel cap and seat. With the Smart Key present one push of the knob-type main switch powers it up and makes it possible to turn, giving the rider control of the ignition/steering lock and, via two rocker switches, the fuel cap and seat. It also has an answer back function, which makes the indicators flash for easy identification from a distance, and locks and unlocks the optional Smart Top Box. A clutch mechanism in the main switch stops the handlebars unlocking by force. The X-ADVs rear indicators also have a self-cancelling Emergency Stop Signal (ESS) function. If negative acceleration of 6.0m/s2 is detected at a minimum speed of 53km/h with either brake working, the hazard lights flash to warn other road users a hard stop is in process. At the same speed the threshold is reduced if ABS is activated to a negative acceleration of a minimum 2.5m/s2. The indicators also auto-cancel. Rather than using a simple timer, the system compares front and rear wheel speed difference and calculates when to cancel the indication relative to the situation.

Mon, 10 Jul 2023 00:00:00 BST https://www.suttonmotorcycles.com/triumph/news/ivn-cervantes-claims-guinness-world-records-title-for-the-greatest-distance-on-a-motorcycle-in-24-hours-with-a-tiger-1200-gt-explorer Ivn Cervantes, 5x Enduro World Champion and Triumph Global Ambassador, has officially claimed the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS title for The greatest distance on a motorcycle in 24 hours (individual). Riding a Tiger 1200 GT Explorer on the High-Speed Ring at the Nard Technical Center in Italy, Ivn travelled more than 4012km in a 24 hour period, beating the previous record of 3406km by a huge margin of more than 600km. The record attempt was witnessed and validated by a GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS adjudicator on 30th April 2023, with a final confirmed distance of 4012.53km a distance equivalent to travelling from London to the Great Pyramid of Giza in 24 hours! THE MAN Ivn Cervantes is a 5 times Enduro World Champion, 21 times Spanish Enduro Champion, and 5 times Spanish Motocross Champion. In July 2021, Ivn was announced as one of Triumphs new Off-Road ambassadors, helping to develop the upcoming range of motocross and enduro bikes. Since joining the Triumph team, Ivn has seen great success in riding and competing on Triumph adventure motorcycles, sealing wins at the Baja Aragn, 1000 Dunas Raid, and Basella Maxi-Trail Race. In preparation for the record attempt, in addition to intensive physical training on his own Tiger 1200 Rally Pro, Ivn began carefully planning his nutrition and sleep strategy, in partnership with Professor Andrew Bagshaw at the University of Birmingham. THE MOTORCYCLE The motorcycle used for the attempt was a Tiger 1200 GT Explorer, chosen at random from the production line at Triumphs factory in Hinckley, UK. No special modifications were made to the bike, other than completing the recommended running in and first service schedule before the attempt was undertaken. The Tiger 1200 family has been designed to deliver the ultimate in adventure bike touring capability, with exceptional comfort and unbeatable character. For the record attempt, features such as the 30 litre fuel tank and excellent wind protection were invaluable in ensuring Ivn could continue riding, whatever challenges he encountered along the way. Heated grips and seats provided additional comfort during the cold early-morning hours and unexpected downpours of rain, while the powerful T-Plane triple engine and advanced electronics provided effortless power and control. High-intensity LED lights ensured Ivn always had exceptional visibility when riding, even in the complete darkness of the remote testing facility at Nard. Underlining the excellent performance and reliability of the Tiger 1200, the only maintenance required on the bike was a single, planned tyre change half way through the attempt, where the standard fit Metzeler TOURANCE Next tyres were refreshed as the rain started and night began to fall. THE RECORD The existing GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS title of 3406.17km was achieved by American Carl Reese on 26th February 2017, recording an average speed over 24 hours of 141.9km/h. Riding consistently at speeds of over 200km/h at the Nard Technical Center in Italy, Ivn surpassed the existing record with an incredible 5 hours to spare in the 24 hour window. Not content to simply beat the record, he set his sights on defining a new benchmark for this challenge 4000km. In the 5 hours that followed, he proceeded to ride a further 606km essentially matching the existing record then continuing to ride the equivalent of the width of France in addition. The record attempt was witnessed by an official GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS adjudicator, who validated the final distance travelled in 24 hours as 4012.53km, with an average speed of 167.79km/h.

Tue, 04 Apr 2023 00:00:00 BST https://www.suttonmotorcycles.com/triumph/news/te-1-wins-electric-motorcycle-of-the-year Triumph Motorcycles prototype TE-1 has won the Electric Motorbike of the Year award at the 2023 GQ Car Awards. Paul Henderson, one of the judges: With a 060mph time of 3.6 seconds, top speed of 135mph, a 100-mile range on a single charge, and a 0-to-80 per cent charge time of just 20 minutes, Triumphs first fully electric prototype has exceeded all expectations to set new standards in the sector. Triumph says they have no plans to put the TE-1 into production, but the technological advances, battery development and electronic breakthroughs will all feature in the British motorcycle brands next gen (or should that be first gen) production EV. In other words, the best is yet to come. Steve Sargent, Chief Product Officer, "We are delighted to have our efforts in developing an exciting, high performance electric motorcycle recognised at the GQ Car Awards. There are significant challenges in bringing electric motorcycles to the mass market but the TE-1 is a crucial step towards Triumphs development and understanding of electric vehicle technology." The bike is a product of a unique collaboration between Triumph Motorcycles, Williams Advanced Engineering, Integral Powertrain Ltd, and WMG at the University of Warwick and was funded by the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles through Innovate UK. It was set up to serve as an educational tool to allow Triumph to research into potential future electric motorcycles. TE-1 underwent four phases in its two-year development, reaching completion in July 2022. With a throttle action and torque delivery map directly engineered from a Speed Triple 1200 RS, the track testing and dynamic rider assessments of the TE-1 prototype demonstrator deliver a level of handling that matches Triumphs current triple cylinder internal combustion sports performance motorcycles Daytona 200 champion racer Brandon Paasch participated in the final testing phase, both in engine performance evaluation and also with the final set-up of the prototype through track testing. The throttle response on the TE-1 is kind of incredible, its very torquey and when you first touch the throttle its instant power, which is obviously what I love as a motorcycle racer I love when its super-torquey and picks up right away, so for me it was a really great experience said Brandon. I got to peg this thing all the way from zero to 100% throttle and its unbelievably quick, it pulls like crazy.

The four riders pushed themselves and their machines to the limits. What they did with the all new Tiger 1200s was jaw-dropping, and the stories they brought back were both adventure-soaked and visually stunning. Their smiles stretched to miles, and they still cant seem to get enough of this new benchmark in large capacity adventure motorcycles. The Location: Popularly known as Little Tibet, Spiti is nestled in the Himalayan Mountain range in Himachal Pradesh. Accessible only during summer, Spiti is as remote as it gets. Surrounded by mountains and glaciers, villages perched on mountain crests, quaint old monasteries, crystal clear rivers and streams, prayer flags fluttering in the wind and monks in their robes evoke strong comparisons with Tibet and leaves tourists to this remote region spellbound. Spiti literally means middle land as it is bordered by Tibet in the east, Ladakh to the north, Kinnaur to the south east and Lahaul and Kullu to the south. Situated at an average height of around 12,500 feet above mean sea level, Spiti lies along the Himalayan river of the same name. Cut off from the tourist map because of its remoteness, Spiti valley has retained its pristine charm. Tiger 1200 Rally Pro In the dirt or on the tarmac, the Rally Pro combines capability, comfort and performance for the ultimate all-road adventure.

Thu, 15 Dec 2022 00:00:00 GMT https://www.suttonmotorcycles.com/triumph/news/updates-for-hondas-popular-dual-purpose-crf300l-for-23ym The Forza name has long been a powerful force in Hondas two-wheeled line-up. Its history as a premium, mid-size scooter goes back to the year 2000: the first model set the template, delivering a lively ride, plenty of storage room and an innovative combined braking system. It was well received throughout Europe, where owners found its multi-role capability useful in every aspect of daily life. Since the arrival of the Forza 125 for 2015 over 160,000 Forzas have been sold in Europe, from the 125, the 350 and range-topping Forza 750. While retaining its trademark mix of sporty and GT character, the middleweight Forza has constantly evolved, aiming to exceed owners expectations with every upgrade. It has long been known as a flagship in Hondas scooter range. As long ago as 04YM it gained Hondas S MATIC electronically controlled CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission), a theft-deterring Smart key, highly efficient PGM-FI fuel injection and space for two full-face helmets under the seat. 05YM saw the addition of ABS brakes and, in 08YM, luxurious touches like an audio package and speakers plus upgraded S MATIC (with phased auto shift mode) and Combined ABS brakes were added. In 16YM the Forza 300 re-emerged with a new sit-in design large enough to carry two people in total comfort, even at highways speeds. 18YM marked the unveiling of a radically revised Forza 300 lighter, smaller, sharper and sportier following in the hugely successful wheel tracks of its smaller sibling, the Forza 125, while retaining all the best attributes of its GT nature. A Limited-Edition model with Grey/Gloss Black colour scheme and matching Smart top box added an exclusive choice in 20YM. In 21YM it was time for another advance: the Forza 350. Faster, even more useful with new features like Bluetooth connectivity and Honda Smartphone Voice Control system and, of course, even more stylish desirability 23YM sees the Forza 350 move on again with a sleek new redesign and two new premium colour options. A brand-new front fairing gives the Forza 350 a new even more elegant and refined identity with styling cues taken directly from the range-topping Forza 750. Led by the new chiselled dual LED headlights, the new front end look brings the Forza 350 bang up to date. The style is refreshed, and the outstanding practicality remains. The electric screen adjusts through 180mm travel to maximise freedom or wind protection. A USB Type-C socket in the glovebox provides a handy charging point, Smart Key operation adds convenience and theres room for two full-face helmets under the seat. The sure-footed chassis is unchanged, as is the 330cc, four-valve, water-cooled SOHC engine which employs Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) to maintain rear tyre grip. Developing 21.5kW and 31.5Nm, performance is strong all the way through the rev-range, delivering crisp acceleration and a top speed of 137km/h. The instrument panel has been refreshed, with the Forza 350 rider also enjoying the possibility of linking to their smartphone via Bluetooth and the Honda Smartphone Voice Control (HSVC) system, which for 23YM is now also compatible with IOS as well as Android devices. The 23YM Forza 350 will be available in the following colour options: Pearl Siena Red **NEW** Matt Robust Gray Metallic **NEW** Matt Pearl Pacific Blue with new Bronze wheels Matt Cynos Gray Metallic Pearl Falcon Gray Click here to find out more Sat, 10 Dec 2022 00:00:00 GMT https://www.suttonmotorcycles.com/triumph/news/honda-em1 Hondas first EV for young European riders is here. The EM1 e: is equipped with a swappable Honda Mobile Power Pack e:, delivering real convenience, and fun, emission-free urban transport. An in-wheel electric motor supplies the drive; usable range is 41.3km and top speed is 45.0km/h. Specification includes digital instrument display, underseat storage space, USB socket, pillion footpegs and rear carrier. The EM1 e: is Hondas first two-wheeled electric vehicle for customers in Europe, following the announcement in September 2022 of the companys plans to introduce 10 or more electric two wheelers globally by 2025. It is also a notable first step towards meeting Hondas stated aim of carbon neutrality for all its motorcycle line-ups during the 2040s. The EM stands for Electric Moped, and the model is aimed squarely at a young demographic looking for easy, fun, emission-free urban transport. It is compact, flat-floored, with smooth styling that marks out its difference and unique identity within the Honda range. Perfect for short hops around town and making journeys to work or college efficient, quiet and emission-free, the EM1 e: syncs neatly with modern expectations for urban mobility. And, as growing local legislation around parking in cities across Europe restricts the use of traditional Internal Combustion Engines (ICE), quite naturally the EV market is growing. Honda is now entering this space with a fresh, high-quality choice for both young riders and short-range commuters alike. For a typical student, who might do a 30km total lap of the city during an average day, the EM1 e: is a compelling proposition: simple to ride and to handle, quiet, environmentally- friendly transport. And the first of many. Compact, easy to use and offering clean mobility with fresh new styling, most of the EM1 e: is conventional: steel underbone frame, telescopic forks, twin shock absorbers and disc front/drum rear braking are classic moped features. Whats really new are the electric in-wheel motor and Hondas own Honda Mobile Power Pack e:, which can be removed for easy recharging at home using the bespoke charging unit. The EM1 e: is fully equipped with digital dash, high quality switch gear, long floor area, underseat storage space and USB charging socket. It also features pillion footpegs, rear carrier and side stand for speedy parking. Usable range is 41.3km with a top speed of 45.0km/h. Also new is the sales method. To ensure customers do not have to take responsibility for the disposal or recycling of the Honda Mobile Power Pack e:, the EM1 e: together with the Honda Mobile Power Pack e: and charger will be available based on a lease, rental or subscription scheme, depending on the country. This will give customers complete peace of mind throughout the life of the EM1 e: regarding both the continued performance of the Honda Mobile Power Pack e:, and its eventual disposal. The 2023 (23YM) EM1 e: will be available in three contemporary colour options: Pearl Sunbeam White Digital Silver Metallic Matte Ballistic Black Metallic Thu, 01 Dec 2022 00:00:00 GMT https://www.suttonmotorcycles.com/triumph/news/23ym-honda-msx125-grom Easy to use, fun and functional, the original leisure motorcycle was defined by Honda in 1963 with the iconic, small-wheeled Monkey bike and carried on redefined for each respective generation with the reborn 18YM Monkey and 22YM DAX. And in the 21st century the formula has found resonance with the new breed of young riders. Known as Generation Y in the USA, Dek Neaw in Thailand and Street-Kei in Japan, they have grown up in the borderless internet age, and share a culture, outlook and spirit that defies convention. Instinctively drawn to motorcycling, they need their first two-wheeled transport to be exciting but not unduly challenging, with a design that sets them apart and a reasonable price tag. In 13YM Honda introduced the MSX125 (Mini Street X-treme 125) to cater specifically for such young riders. A truly global product the MSX125 (known as the Grom in Japan and USA) has been a hit across the world. In its first sales season the MSX125 joined the CBF125 in the ranks of Europes top 5 best-selling 125cc motorcycles. And, over the last few years, it has established itself as a firm favourite, whether used for simple urban transport or as a heavily customised style statement by its target market. After 6 years of quiet success and several small styling evolutions, with an eye on the next wave of young riders, 21YM saw a new MSX125 hit the streets of Europe with an even cooler direction of travel, and a new name the MSX125 Grom. For 23YM two striking new colours are available for Hondas little machine that continues to brim with big dreams. 21YMs completely redesigned bodywork gave the MSX125 Grom a new design language: fresh and fun, and also easily removed ready for an owners creativity to get to work. The LCD dash was also updated to include a rev-counter and gear position indicator. Now approaching its tenth year of sales, the Groms air-cooled engine maintains usable, real-world performance with a fifth gear to help longer-range riding. And the chassis tried and tested continues to offer small-bike dimensions with big-bike suspension, braking and handling qualities. The 23YM MSX125 Grom will be available in the following colour options: Matt Dim Gray Metallic with unique gold wheels and Big Logo graphics **NEW** Splendid Blue **NEW** Gayety Red SE with new black front mudguard Click here to view the Grom Tue, 08 Nov 2022 00:00:00 GMT https://www.suttonmotorcycles.com/triumph/news/new-xl750-transalp-and-em1-eelectric-vehicle-lead-hondas-full-23ym-line-up-reveal-at-eicma The celebrated Transalp name returns to the Honda line-up in a brand new mid-sized adventure package Hondas first electric model for Europe, the EM1 e: is unveiled, powered by the durable and efficient Honda Mobile Power Pack e: The new CL500 urban machine mixes retro charm with modern equipment and technology The Rebel family expands with the introduction of the new CMX1100T Rebel developed for increased long distance comfort and practicality The Forza 125 and Forza 350 get a new look in line with the range-topping Forza 750 New paint schemes for MSX125 Grom continue raft of new colour updates for 23YM Having already announced the return of the celebrated Hornet name to its line-up for 23 year model, today at EICMA in Milan, Honda unveiled its full European motorcycle range for the upcoming season. Highlights include the return of another Honda legend, a totally new urban naked machine, and the unveiling of Hondas first European EV two wheeler. XL750 Transalp Headlining the unveiling is the return to the Honda line-up of the evocative Transalp name in the shape of the XL750 Transalp. Inheriting the spirit of its illustrious predecessor, the XL750 Transalp is designed to be at home anywhere - from the rush hour commute to an extended touring trip, from a dusty trail to an Alpine pass. This all-round ability is derived from Hondas brand new 755cc parallel twin engine that combines a substantial top end punch with mountains of torque in the low to mid rpm range plus engaging character and sound from its 270 crank and new exhaust. Peak power of 67.5kW arrives at 9,500rpm, peak 75Nm torque at 7,250rpm. Electronic aids running via Throttle By Wire allow the rider to choose between 5 riding modes to select their preferred combination of Engine Power, Engine Braking and Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) with integrated Wheelie Control. The new engine is housed in a lightweight steel diamond frame to offer light, nimble, confidence-inspiring handling in any situation. For supple on-road performance and off-road bump absorption the Transalp is equipped with Showa 43mm SFF-CATM USD forks and rear shock operating through Pro-Link. A 21in front wheel paired to a 18in rear delivers versatility both on or off-road. The Transalps rich specification list is headlined by a 5-inch TFT colour display which vividly supplies all the crucial information and allows management of all systems. Connectivity is available for both Android and iOS devices via the Honda Smartphone Voice Control system. All lighting is LED; the indicators auto-cancel and also include Emergency Stop Signal technology to warn other road users of sudden braking. Styling for the Transalp has been led by Hondas Rome R&D centre, under the guiding principle of Friendly Toughness. The long-legged stance makes a strong statement of adventurous intent, while the fairing and screen work together to deliver wind protection without bulk. The overall look is sleek, simple and clean. The Transalp will be available in three striking colours: Matt Iridium Gray Metallic, Matt Ballistic Black Metallic and a modern interpretation of the classic Ross White Tricolour. EM1 e Due for release in summer 2023, the EM1 e: is the first Honda EV two wheeler for customers in Europe, and the first model to be unveiled following Hondas announcement of its plans to introduce 10 or more electric motorcycle models globally by 2025. It is a significant first step towards meeting Hondas stated aim of carbon neutrality for all its motorcycle line-up during the 2040s. The EM stands for Electric Moped, and the model is aimed squarely at a young demographic looking for easy, fun urban transport. It is compact, flat-floored, with a smoothed styling that marks out its difference and unique identity within the Honda range. Perfect for short hops around town and for making journeys to work or college efficient, quiet and emission-free, the EM1 e: syncs neatly with modern expectations for urban mobility. The EM1 e: is powered by the Honda Mobile Power Pack e:, which is built with a relentless focus on durability, reliability and quality. A single charge will offer a riding range of over 40km, and the Mobile Power Pack (MPP) is designed to withstand different temperatures, humidity levels, impacts and vibrations. As its name suggest, the MPP is a swappable battery that can be easily removed from the EM1 e: for charging in the comfort of home. CL500 Taking its inspiration from the Honda CLs of the 1960 and1970s, the funky CL500 combines retro charm with modern equipment and technology to create a totally new kind of modern urban naked in Hondas line-up. A strong statement for any young rider looking to stand out from the crowd, it is designed to fit neatly into an owners lifestyle with the ability to handle the daily commute, a long weekend ride, or even some light off-road. The CL500 uses Hondas hugely popular and energetic A2-friendly 471cc parallel-twin cylinder engine, which produces 35kW of power and 43.3Nm of torque. Unique ECU settings and short final gearing deliver sharp and responsive acceleration from a standstill, all the way up through six-speed gearbox. The horizontal design line runs from the distinctive round headlight with four LED bulbs, back through the cleanly rounded tank to the upswept exhaust muffler with its classic drilled stainless steel heat shield. Details such as side tank pads, thickly padded seat with embossed Honda logo, small circular LED indicators, high handle bars and rubber fork gaiters come together to create a look that has a fresh kind of charm different to any other Honda machine. The tubular steel trellis-style frame is both a style statement and foundation of easy handling. Long-travel suspension comprises 41mm telescopic forks and adjustable rear shock while the wheels 19-inch front and 17-inch rear wear block-pattern tyres. The CL500 comes in four eye-catching colours - Candy Energy Orange, Matt Laurel Green Metallic, Candy Caribbean Blue Sea and Matt Gunpowder Black Metallic, and a range of genuine Honda accessories are available ready for personalisation to an owners preference. CMX1100T Rebel As a 21st century bobber the CMX1100 Rebel has a dual personality, with a stripped-back style that speaks volumes with its minimalism. Its been designed for a leisurely laidback cruise, but also turns its hand to an exciting riding experience when a twisty road presents itself, thanks to the performance and character of a 1,084cc parallel twin-cylinder engine tuned for super-strong bottom and mid-range torque. For 23YM, the family is joined by a dedicated Touring version, the CMX1100T Rebel. The T stands for Touring, and the CMX1100T Rebel is designed to bring extra comfort and practicality for longer days on the open road. The comfort comes from the new bespoke front fairing and screen that offer greatly increased weather protection; the practicality is provided by the new set of top-hinged hard panniers that fit in perfectly with the overall look and offer a full 35 litres of carrying capacity. The CMX1100T Rebel will be available in a striking Gunmetal Black Metallic paint scheme. Forza 125 and Forza 350 The Forza name has long been a powerful force in Hondas two-wheeled line-up, offering a premium mix of sporty and GT elements. Both the Forza 350 and Forza 125 boast an extensive standard equipment list including HSTC, electric screen adjustment, USB Type-C socket, underseat storage space for two full-face helmets, full LED lighting and Smart Key operation. The two smaller Forzas were joined in Hondas line-up by the premium luxury Forza 750 for 2020, and the compelling Forza recipe has attracted over 160,000 customers since the arrival of the Forza 125 in 2012. For 23YM, a brand-new front fairing give both the Forza 350 and 125 an even more elegant and refined identity with styling cues taken directly from the range-topping Forza 750. Led by the new chiselled dual LED headlights, the new front end creates an impression of energetic sportiness and premium desirability. A redesigned instrument panel attractively mixes analogue and digital displays. A new Forza 125 Special Edition has also been added to the line-up. It features red detailing on the seat stitching, instrument panel surrounds and logos, set on a Matt Cynos Gray Metallic paint scheme. Blacked-out pillion footpegs, stainless-steel floor plates and red wheels complete the look. MSX125 Grom Honda has already announced a host of new colours for 23YM that span its range from the SH125 to the GL1800 Gold Wing, touching several points in between, including the Neo Sports Caf range of naked CBs, the X-ADV, CRF1100L Africa Twin and NT1100. The latest machine to benefit from a new look is the pocket-sized funster, the MSX125 Grom. It gains two new colours for 23YM: Splendid Blue and Matt Dim Gray Metallic, which features unique gold wheels and Big Logo graphics. With its retro-cool style, quick-detach body panels, LCD instrument panel, air-cooled engine and five-speed gearbox, the MSX125 Grom is set to continue its fresh and fun journey across Europe next year.

The new bike has a direct injection of excitement and pure-thrill adrenaline, packed with class-leading power-to-weight ratio, high-quality Showa suspension, and a comprehensive electronics package.

The CB750 Hornet boasts a new twin-cylinder engine that hits hard with power and torque and features a comprehensive electronics package. The high-quality Showa suspension works through a new, lightweight steel frame with high-spec running gear that allows the rider to exploit all the potential available. The minimalist look with uncompromising angles defines a sharp, modern streetfighter style. Honda has armed the CB750 Hornet with a class-leading power-to-weight ratio, and it is available in the following colour options: Pearl Glare White with Metallic Red Flame frame and anodised Red forks, Graphite Black with Metallic Red Flame frame and anodised Red forks, Matte Iridium Gray Metallic, and Mat Goldfinch Yellow.

The premium specification includes a 5-inch colour TFT instrument display, with Honda Smartphone Voice Control (HSVC), full LED lighting, auto-indicator cancel and Emergency Stop Signal (ESS) technology. The CB750 Hornet has big tyre tracks to fill and serious competitors to contend with, but Honda's development engineers are confident that they have created something quite special. Fast, agile, and fun, the CB750 Hornet is a bike for now and a whole new generation of riders.

The world renowned engine is more responsive than ever, too - in addition to significant component updates, its shorter gear ratios deliver faster acceleration making this latest generation of Street Triple the sharpest and liveliest yet. Significantly updated class-defining 765cc engine Learnings taken directly from the Moto2 race engine programme have been applied to the 2023 Street Triple engine, making it more performance-focused and characterful than ever. The compression ratio has been raised from 12.65:1 to 13.25:1 - an increase of 4.7%. New pistons, con-rods and gudgeon pins are matched to new, optimised combustion chambers for an increased cylinder pressure limit and, ultimately, more power.

Peak torque of 80Nm arrives at 9,500rpm. The most responsive Street Triple ever For 2023, the gearbox has been revised to include shorter gear ratios for faster acceleration. Together with a new final drive ratio, the Street Triple is now sharper, livelier and more responsive than ever. Combined with the increase in power and torque, which brings a notable improvement in performance, the Street Triple 765 cements its position as the class benchmark. Hair-raising triple soundtrack Further updates include a new exhaust system with increased flowrate, as well as a new sporty single-sided silencer, which delivers the Street Triples renowned and distinctive hair-raising sound. THE PERFECT PERFORMANCE NAKED SPORTS SET-UP New technology, new high-specification components and the most agile Street Triple chassis to date, together with the optimum weight and balance, make the 2023 Street Triple range the best handling ever and the perfect performance naked sports set-up. New poised and dynamic ergonomics The 2023 Street Triple R and RS both benefit from the new generations more focused and commanding riding position, thanks to the new 12mm wider handlebars. The race-inspired Moto2 Edition goes one step further again with clip-on handlebars, that are 80mm lower and 50mm further forward than the R and RS, which combined with its unique high-specification hlins forks, delivers even more race bike poise and front end feel for the most dynamic Street Triple ride ever. Both the RS and the Moto2 Edition feature revised geometry with a steeper rake and a raised back end for nimble, faster turning. Still as surefooted and planted as ever, these improvements sacrifice none of the confidence-inspiring attributes that the Street Triple has become renowned for. With an accessible seat height of 826mm on the Street Triple R, 836mm on the Street Triple RS and 839mm Moto2TM Edition, a new accessory low seat option, with 3D net technology for enhanced comfort, can be fitted to reduce the height by a further 28mm on all models. For the Street Triple RS and Moto2TM Edition Triumph dealers can additionally lower the seat by a further 10mm if required through the implementation of a dedicated rear suspension adaption, which when delivered in combination with the accessory low seat provides a very accessible height of 798mm on the RS and 801mm on the Moto2TM Edition. New highest specification Brembo brakes The Street Triple R features high-quality braking components, with the excellent Brembo M4.32 4-piston radial monobloc calipers at the front and a Brembo single piston sliding caliper at the rear. For Street Triple RS and Moto2 Edition racetrack-capable braking performance comes as standard, with both models coming fitted as standard with top-spec Brembo Stylema 4-piston radial monobloc front calipers with twin 310mm floating discs. A matching Brembo MCS span and ratio adjustable lever gives even more control and finesse, while a Brembo single piston sliding caliper keeps things in check at the rear. Linked brakes provide the perfect balance of front to rear braking for improved stability and reduced stopping distances. High specification fully adjustable suspension Complementing the Street Triples ground-breaking chassis design, top quality suspension components from Showa and hlins have been carefully selected to suit each model. All are fully adjustable for preload, compression and rebound. The Street Triple R comes fitted with Showa 41mm upside down separate function big piston forks and a Showa piggyback reservoir monoshock RSU. For the higher specification Street Triple RS this comes equipped with top-specification Showa 41mm upside down big piston forks and an hlins piggyback reservoir rear shock. The Street Triple 765 Moto2 Edition showcases its track-ready capability with its 43mm upside down hlins front forks for precise handling and an hlins piggyback reservoir rear shock. Front wheel travel on all models is 115mm, with 131.2mm rear wheel travel on the RS and Moto2 Edition, and 133.5mm on the Street Triple R. Track-ready tyres High performance Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP V3 tyres come fitted as standard to the Street Triple RS and the Moto2 Edition. These offer racetrack levels of grip and outstanding high-speed stability, all from a fully road legal tyre. The Street Triple R comes with the versatile and well-regarded Continental ContiRoad tyres, which offer superb levels of grip in both wet and dry road conditions. This makes them the ideal choice for all-season commuting as well as fast road riding. Lightweight chassis and gullwing swingarm The Street Triples gullwing swingarm has been developed for excellent torsional stiffness with lateral flexibility. The design maximises stability at higher speeds for enhanced rider confidence while the pivot position provides natural resistance to compressing the rear shock absorber under hard acceleration. This translates into tight corner exits and precise, predictable chassis behaviour. This, combined with its lightweight chassis and incredible power-to-weight ratio, are key to the Streets class-defining performance. Agile and exhilarating, with Triumphs signature confidence-inspiring handling make it an accessible choice for all riders. NEW AND IMPROVED RIDER-FOCUSED TECHNOLOGY The 2023 Street Triple range features some great advances in rider-focused technology. With improvements and refinements to the ABS, traction control and riding modes, performance and safety go hand-in-hand with rider comfort and convenience. New Optimised Cornering ABS The latest generation of optimised cornering ABS comes as standard on all three Street Triple models for 2023, ensuring the optimum braking performance at any lean angle. The system features a new ABS modulator with an integrated IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) for more refined ABS control. Tailored settings integrated into each of the riding modes alter the level of ABS intervention, while a track-focused tune is also present for riders seeking minimal ABS intervention. New Switchable Optimised Cornering Traction Control Now standard on all three Street Triple models, optimised cornering traction control supported by an IMU continuously calculates the lean angle to ensure the optimum slip rate and torque control. Four independently adjustable levels of intervention can be selected to suit riding styles and road conditions, including a track-focused tune with minimal intervention as well as the ability to turn it off altogether, for experienced riders in high-grip racetrack situations. Upgraded riding modes for a more dynamic feel The new Street Triple R features four riding modes: Road, Rain, Sport and Rider-configurable. This makes it easy to fine tune the Street Triple to suit the riders preferences. The Street Triple RS and Moto2 Edition have five riding modes, adding a Track mode to the Rs four standard modes. This track mode has been designed to be as unintrusive as possible whilst still providing the reassurance that the electronic systems are there to help in unexpected situations. Each riding mode adjusts the character and behaviour of the bike, with new more dynamic throttle maps in Road, Sport and Track modes for an even more responsive feel. Rain mode restricts the engine power to 100PS while increasing the level of ABS and Traction Control intervention for better feel and control in wet conditions. 5 full-colour TFT instruments The new Street Triple 756 RS and Moto2 Edition feature 5 full-colour TFT instruments, which are angle adjustable for the perfect view, regardless of rider height. The ergonomically optimised switch cubes and five-way joystick offer intuitive system navigation. The My Triumph connectivity system is pre-enabled, meaning that Street Triple owners can access turn-by-turn navigation, phone control and music operation via the accessory-fit Bluetooth module and free My Triumph app. A lap timer is included on the RS and Moto2 Edition for track day use, while the Moto2 Edition also features a unique and distinctive start up sequence that displays the official Moto2 logo. The Street Triple R comes fitted with its own dedicated easy-to-read multi-functional instrument set-up, which includes a TFT display for key information. Latest generation Triumph Shift Assist Triumphs latest track-ready up and down quickshifter is fitted as standard to all three Street Triple models. Ideal for track and fast road riding, upshifts can be made without closing the throttle for a smooth, fast shift that wont unsettle the bike. Downshifts can also be made without the use of the clutch and without the need to blip the throttle to match the gear and engine speeds as this process is automatically carried out by the MY23 Street Triple. This feature represents a major riding aid on corner entry, allowing a smooth and controlled deceleration. Slip and assist clutch Triumphs slip and assist clutch fitted to all three Street Triple models ensures a light and consistent lever feel for enhanced comfort and control on the road, particularly useful in the stop/start scenario of an urban commute. Front wheel lift control The front-wheel lift control is designed to enhance control while feeling barely noticeable to the rider. Advanced new algorithms continuously monitor signals from the IMU to ensure smoother control and faster progress. Distinctive all-LED lighting Lighting is all-LED across all three models. On the RS and Moto2 Edition these feature a distinctively shaped DRL (daytime running light) incorporated into the headlights, where market legislation permits. The Street Triple R features a similarly distinctive lighting signature delivered through position lights. Self-cancelling indicators are fitted as standard. SHARPER STYLING, WITH A MORE AGGRESSIVE ATTITUDE AND POISE Carefully evolved since its launch in 2007, the striking new aesthetic delivers the unmistakable Street Triple design DNA with the most aggressive attitude and poise yet. With new racing-derived 765 liveries and sporty graphics, this new Street Triple generation redefines the category, setting a new benchmark for the performance naked sports class. All-new bodywork Completely redesigned for 2022, the Street Triples sharper and more focused style is the result of attention to a great number of details. The new 15-litre fuel tank has integrated side panels with an angular design that aligns beautifully with the sharper radiator cowls, further complemented by a new headlight finisher that also incorporates the air intake. Additionally, theres a new colour-coded belly pan for the RS which is available as an accessory option for the R. The rear end of the new Street Triple is no less exceptional, with a sporty, upswept design to give a focused, nose-down attitude. The RS features a colour-coded seat cowl with an interchangeable pillion seat - making switching between different configurations easy. The new silencer shape adds to the Street Triples aggressive stance as well as accentuating the hair-raising Triumph triple soundtrack. As the ultimate, race-inspired Street Triple, the Moto2 Edition features lightweight carbon fibre bodywork including the front mudguard, side panels, headlight finisher and belly pan. Adding yet more exclusivity and desirability, each of these limited-edition motorcycles has an exquisitely machined top yoke with its number etched onto it. Just 765 of each colour scheme will be made, making this the most exclusive, and collectable, Street Triple to date. New race-derived Street Triple colour schemes The Street Triple R is available in two contemporary colours: Silver Ice with Storm Grey and Yellow graphics or Crystal White with Storm Grey and Lithium Flame graphics. For the Street Triple RS, theres a choice of three bold and distinctive paint schemes; Silver Ice with Baja Orange and Storm Grey graphics, Carnival Red with Carbon Black and Aluminium Silver graphics or Cosmic Yellow with Carbon Black and Aluminium Silver graphics.
