I was watching another persons Honda vid and looked past the bike and saw you and your lovely videographer at the Honda 350 display. I watch all your vids, keep bringing the great content.
I went to EICMA to check 1390 GT and looks amazing! Only concern is that the price tag will be insane but I really want it. I went on Sunday morning and until lunch, it wasn’t so bad but after lunch, main booths like Ducati or BMW were so packed there was no space at all
The new V2 Streetfighter is so cool. Good on Ducati to steer this bike in the road focused direction. Now you can wring it out and with the lost weight it should be mint.
Did you see the Brixton range plus a really cool make showing 2 models was Phelon & Moore . The fit and finish on these two manufacturers ranges were superb ! If anyone has not been to EICMA you need to go it's an amazing show 👍👍🇮🇪🇮🇪
Just another pretentious bike from BMW, looking at what ignorant customers want vs what they really should want and use (like tubed wheels instead of those tubeless ones that stick out of the side of the tire and are going to be destroyed off road). Probably a Chinese motor in there too. Wouldn't touch it with a 10-foot pole.
As a fan of the old Moto Morini 3 1/2 Sport, I have to say that the new one looks lovely and it will be interesting to see how they compare. Great video. Thanks.
If those cfmoto 675 triples come out with the same quality as their recent 450 line bikes, and are cheaper than the Triumph Daytona & Trident they will sell really well. I'm thinking of getting the 675 NK myself if it hits the mark on release.
How about if the Chinese stop with the violation of basic human rights, like non-consensual organ donation & totalitarian rule before we reward them financially by purchasing slave labor goods cf moto.
Fantastic summary with so much to cover! My favourite bike of the show is the new 2025 KTM 390 Adventure R. My family & I have been patiently waiting for this new model to finally hit the market. If it rides as good as it looks, we’ll definitely be picking up a pair as soon as they become available in Canada!
Thanks for your hard work at EICMA, I have enjoyed most of your film clips. My favourite bike are two. Triumph Tiger Sport 800 and Moto Guzzi V7 Sport in green paint job. So nice bikes 🥰 Cheers 😊👍
The 125° firing interval on the BMW F450GS concept? It's equivalent firing interval to a 125° wide-angle Vtwin. They are pretty rare, but Moto Guzzi did one back a while ago. 1933-1951 Moto Guzzi Bicilindrica 500.
The Honda V3 with electric compressor is the most exciting thing in all of EICMA IMO. I hope they will release a 650cc class V3 with 800-900cc class power in a premium naked sports bike. The CB750 and CB1000 Hornet are ok but I don't want/need 150 hp and I don't want a budget bike (the CB750 looks too budget for my liking). I want to see Honda give us a more premium looking/feeling middleweight naked sport bike with modern tech (cruise control). I have a 2022 CB650R and I think it looks like a premium machine. Like they actually put effort into the design so it just looks amazing and doesn't look like a cheap bike. It is lacking some modern amenities but honestly the only thing I want is cruise control and even the latest CB1000 Hornet doesn't have cruise control so I have no logical upgrade path within the Honda family which I think is a major fail from them. I'll keep my CB650R for now because honestly I love it, it's fantastic, but I will await news of this V3 engine and what bikes we will see with it. Fingers crossed for a middleweight with ~110-120hp and strong mid-range torque. A really good usable powerband for the road. Honda's answer to the MT09 but with 241cc fewer and forced induction so it makes similar power/torque.
Honestly, Honda should really bring back the VFR line, but only the 800 range. And have the traditional sport-touring version accompanied by a naked version. I say this owning an 8th gen VFR800F. And BOY is that a marvellous piece of engineering, I highly suggest listening to a video with the SC-project slipon. When the Vtec on that bike kicks in on the V4 engine. It's just something so unique. I wouldn't part with my Honda VFR for the world.
@ I agree!! The VFR800 is such an awesome bike. It’s a real shame that Honda discontinued it. If they revamped it, made it a little lighter and put an upside down fork on it it would certainly be at the top of my list for my next bike. I wonder why they discontinued it. They must have a good reason. Too expensive to produce maybe?
Great coverage! I like the new below 500 ccm bikes and that major manufacturers are diving into this segment. Hoping for Suzuki Supermoto to be great bike, looks like just what I'd like to have for commuting. Also, hoping to see a Ducati ADV based on Hypermotard Mono platform with one of their announcements.
Great presentation as usual. I'm really impressed with the new Triumph line up but my local Triumph dealer has just gone into receivership, there's nowhere near now. Ironically, I live not far from the so called home of Triumph.
DRZ-4SM looks great from my viewpoint of road-riding, even the DRZ-4S looks like it might be a great option to get into ADV on a good price. I hope they go out on a good price. I hope Honda puts that V3 in a good motorcycle, very interesting. I'm very interested in the CFMOTO 3cyl bike.
I have a 2023 KTM 1290 Super Adventure S and totally happy with it. But... And that is a big but. The Super Duke GT and the new 1390 Super Adventure Evo are mouth watering indeed...
It's possible that the BMW 450 firing intervals are 125°/595°, but I'd guess that they are actually 235°/485°, so "235 degree crank" for a crankshaft with 125° crankpin offset would be consistent with referring to a crankshaft with 90° crankpin offset as a "270 degree crank".
As I’m more interested in the budget or higher bang for buck end of the market, I was interested in some of the Keeway group bikes - the 450 Rally bikes from Keeway and Mondial, and what about Voge? Some interesting ideas coming from them too.
I went to EICMA this year, and if you didn't know what to look for, you couldn't even notice some of these were there, because BMW's and Ducati's stands were absolutely 100% full of people all the time. After trying 3 times to get close enough to a Monster to sit on it, i simply gave up.
The frame welds on that BMW F450 look horrible, where was that made ? Most excited for the Suzuki DRZ-4S, all the bikes over the years, the one I most loved was an XL250. Great video, thanks for sharing !
I'm glad Honda gave the 750 a face-lift. Still love mine as it is and I intend to keep it for some more years since I do love its punchy engine, but its true the original light box is an eye sore
Top 3 sports all the way : 1/ rc 990 but will most likely be too expensive for me to end up buying, 2/ r9 wich is the one I will consider actually buying, and 3/ panigale v2 being Ducati's new Supersport badged as a panigale ;)
you mentioned the new headlight on the Hornet...it looks better...but as a whole i REALLY hope the whole angular bug eye headlight fad comes to an end soon. triumph, honda, kawasaki, everyone has these headlights that just stick out way to far, sorta droop down like they melted or something and are just not attractive at all. I had a DRZ 400 SM for many years. loved that bike...bout time they updated it, looks good except the headlight...so tiny and odd. anyway, great video, thanks.
Waiting for the inevitable R1300R announcement and will then decide between that and the amazing S1000R. Hope they fixed the vibes in the handlebar for that one though.
I was hoping they would bring a Tracer 10 with the lovely MT-10 motor. I mean, S1000XR, Versys 1000, GSXR-GX1000, Multistrada V4, Africa Twin Sport???, Tiger 1200. Basically all high-capacity sporty crossovers. When is Yamaha following suit? The CP4 engine is such a nice engine with a lot of character, it's really a shame they don't use in more models. Especially now that the YZF-R1 is no longer road-legal in the EU since 2025.
Hey I’m really struggling for my a2 license right now. I’m between two bikes and I really don’t know which one to go for. The first option is the gsx8r and the other is the cbr650r. I really like the look of the Suzuki in contrast to the Honda but the cbr just sounds soooo much better. Does anyone have any suggestions or advice?
The KB998 will be the same $46K ish price tag as the Ducati and BMW specials. Hopefully this allows Kawasaki to use exotic engine internals, and increase horsepower.
Great video. I dont yet have a favourite bike. Just love the Triumph Daytona for that lovely engine with great torque the whole bandregister. Great bike for the price and ok price for the insurance. But i dont like the suspension and no standard quickshifter. Triumph has a great bike please update this and some better colours for 2025 and your home. I dont care if its a ”real Daytona” or not. Its still a good bike but needs some upgrades
Me having the 2018 cb500f didn't mind the first hornet750's mask since it was the same thing. I must say I don't think I like the new one, if they made it more like the one on the hornet1k it would have been nicer.

Good work & thx u 🙏
🙏🏻
My favorite is the BMW 450
Thanks Bob, it has been a lot fun and informative as always..
Sure, especially those tubeless wheels sticking out of the profile of the tire will chew those rocks like chewing gum...oh wait!
Absolutely
I was watching another persons Honda vid and looked past the bike and saw you and your lovely videographer at the Honda 350 display. I watch all your vids, keep bringing the great content.
I really loved the KTM 390 Enduro R ❤
My absolute favorite has to be the DRZ4S, sooo good. I am getting one for sure
I think my favourite bike at the show was the 2025 Aprilia V4 Tuono , I'll be heading to Milan next year .Keep up the good work 👏.
Thanks mark 🙏🍻
I went to EICMA to check 1390 GT and looks amazing! Only concern is that the price tag will be insane but I really want it. I went on Sunday morning and until lunch, it wasn’t so bad but after lunch, main booths like Ducati or BMW were so packed there was no space at all
Should not it be costly
Bear 650, F450 GS, DRZ-4S and SM, probably are my favorite!
Kudos Motobob! The ethic, consistency and quality of your vids always impresses. Here’s to your continued growth and success!
The new V2 Streetfighter is so cool. Good on Ducati to steer this bike in the road focused direction. Now you can wring it out and with the lost weight it should be mint.
I think you're right - should be a better road bike 🤘
Did you see the Brixton range plus a really cool make showing 2 models was Phelon & Moore . The fit and finish on these two manufacturers ranges were superb !
If anyone has not been to EICMA you need to go it's an amazing show 👍👍🇮🇪🇮🇪
The F450 GS was a show stealer imo! I like the direction Ducati is going with The new V2 bikes as well
Just another pretentious bike from BMW, looking at what ignorant customers want vs what they really should want and use (like tubed wheels instead of those tubeless ones that stick out of the side of the tire and are going to be destroyed off road). Probably a Chinese motor in there too. Wouldn't touch it with a 10-foot pole.
DRZ-4s was definitely the show stopper for me.
Favorite? Easily the Aprilia Tuareg Rally. But that Tenere 700 in race colors is pretty cool too
As a fan of the old Moto Morini 3 1/2 Sport, I have to say that the new one looks lovely and it will be interesting to see how they compare. Great video. Thanks.

Awesome video cover of EICMA BOB, this year was really great and much bigger than last year ❤❤❤❤
Nice vid. For me, Aprilia Tuono 660, Ducati V2 Panigale & Streetfighter, Moto Guzzi V7 Sport, & Suzuki DRZ- SM.
Can't wait to see these bikes with us from the 16-24 November 😃
Aprilia RS660 Factory takes it for me. Been waiting for this bike 🤝
Thanks for your hard work at EICMA, I have enjoyed most of your film clips. My favourite bike are two. Triumph Tiger Sport 800 and Moto Guzzi V7 Sport in green paint job. So nice bikes 🥰
Cheers 😊👍
Wasn't interested in EICMA and you got me god damn excited now. This year is awesome for us - a lot to choose from.
Bear 650 is my fav - I want one! Thanks for the overview - great work as usual...on another matter - what happened to Full Tank?
I'm moving to Italy very soon. Fiera Milano exhibition center will not be too far away from me. I will definitely go in 2025. Hope to see you there.
Super excited to see the tiger sport 800 come to the US
The 125° firing interval on the BMW F450GS concept?
It's equivalent firing interval to a 125° wide-angle Vtwin. They are pretty rare, but Moto Guzzi did one back a while ago. 1933-1951 Moto Guzzi Bicilindrica 500.
Wow! Lots of cool looking bikes for 2025. Many of them won't be coming over to North America shores, but it's okay to admire them from afar. :)
The Honda V3 with electric compressor is the most exciting thing in all of EICMA IMO. I hope they will release a 650cc class V3 with 800-900cc class power in a premium naked sports bike.

Excellent round up, I like 'em all 😉. Liking the Moto Morini 3.5.
Aprilias with painted frames! YES!
I am so stoked about the 390 SMCR.
I only wished they dropped a 280° 490 and had that in the smcr.
The 2025 xsr900 is getting heaps of upgrades. New gen quick shifter, new full colour tft, just to name a couple.
2o:52 dayum super moto is backkkkk lets go :D
Great Video!! what I want to know is the crankshaft configuration of the Honda V3!!
Great presentation as usual. I'm really impressed with the new Triumph line up but my local Triumph dealer has just gone into receivership, there's nowhere near now. Ironically, I live not far from the so called home of Triumph.
And loved the Husqvarna Svarpilen 801 custom bike ❤❤❤
Bob, Royal Enfield said the Flea will be a 60/60 vehicle (60mph, 60 mile range). A little google would have helped there.
My top pics KTM adv390, BMW F450, touno457 new translap
DRZ-4SM looks great from my viewpoint of road-riding, even the DRZ-4S looks like it might be a great option to get into ADV on a good price. I hope they go out on a good price.
I hope Honda puts that V3 in a good motorcycle, very interesting.
I'm very interested in the CFMOTO 3cyl bike.

I can’t wait to see what the 1300rs will look like, love my 1250rs for its awesome looks and performance
Still no news about the Tracer 7? Will it come with AMT like the MT-07 and the Tracer 9?
Not yet, there are some internal disagreements at Yamaha about the numbers of headlights! 6,7 or 9!
As I’m more interested in the budget or higher bang for buck end of the market, I was interested in some of the Keeway group bikes - the 450 Rally bikes from Keeway and Mondial, and what about Voge? Some interesting ideas coming from them too.

KTM RC 990 R for sure.. thing is gonna be a weapon and so fun on track
I know it’s far from a full new motorcycle, but the Royal Enfield Classic 650 has to be the one for me.
The last 2 years RE has been doing great. Their designs are nice
Cheers Bob I’ve enjoyed the coverage.a few good bikes incoming👍
Triumph Tiger Sport 800 - WOW !!! 👍
Hear me out but the f3 looks like a gixxer 1000 and the fireblade had a baby
EICMA KEEP IT GOING !!!!
VIVA L’ITALIA 🇮🇹 🇮🇹 🇮🇹
Top 3 sports all the way : 1/ rc 990 but will most likely be too expensive for me to end up buying, 2/ r9 wich is the one I will consider actually buying, and 3/ panigale v2 being Ducati's new Supersport badged as a panigale ;)
Ducati V2 looks great!
As a Tracer 9GT owner I'm eyeing on the Sports Tourrer Moto Morini has announced.
Anxiously waiting for the Panigale Tricolore.
Great video 👍😁
you mentioned the new headlight on the Hornet...it looks better...but as a whole i REALLY hope the whole angular bug eye headlight fad comes to an end soon. triumph, honda, kawasaki, everyone has these headlights that just stick out way to far, sorta droop down like they melted or something and are just not attractive at all.

anyway, great video, thanks.
Thank you! Awesome video!
Mahalo Nui Loa for sharing 🤙
My fav was REC650 😍
outstanding review! i will take one of each please!
So much good stuff at this years EICMA; a new golden age of motorcycling?
KTM 990 RCR, going to get one for sure
Was hoping to see the Honda CT 125 / Hunter Cub 2025 announced for a Europe release 😢
Have u heard any information on wen Honda will b announcing the Gold Wing 50th Anniversary models since I didn’t c them at EICMA👍
The mt07 update takes the cake for me, i might get one
Waiting for the inevitable R1300R announcement and will then decide between that and the amazing S1000R. Hope they fixed the vibes in the handlebar for that one though.
That classic 650🤤🤤🤤
I am into the new Tuono! 🤤
I was hoping Yamaha was going to have a new T9 with the Tracer 9 motor!
I was hoping they would bring a Tracer 10 with the lovely MT-10 motor. I mean, S1000XR, Versys 1000, GSXR-GX1000, Multistrada V4, Africa Twin Sport???, Tiger 1200. Basically all high-capacity sporty crossovers. When is Yamaha following suit? The CP4 engine is such a nice engine with a lot of character, it's really a shame they don't use in more models.

I really like the look of the Suzuki in contrast to the Honda but the cbr just sounds soooo much better. Does anyone have any suggestions or advice?
Was really sad there was no r12 scrambler or gs based off the r nine t or triumph scrambler 400XE
BMW GS 450 , going to be a massive seller !
Bob, please make a video of the best accessories for motorcycles and riders that you saw at EICMA
990 RCR 👑🖤
A bit off topic, but I can't help noticing the doors on your sideboard behind are in desperate need of realignment! 😂 👍
Any video on the 2025 XSR900 ?
Is the new streetfigher or the Ms1000r the better bike to look at? Which one.
The KB998 will be the same $46K ish price tag as the Ducati and BMW specials.
Hopefully this allows Kawasaki to use exotic engine internals, and increase horsepower.
Sports bikes aren't selling, so it makes sense to produce specials ...genius idea
The super bikes look amazing especially the m1000rr
Shame we wont be getting the new 1390 GT or SAS/R here in the states until '26 at the soonest...
Probably sell my '23 SAS for the new 1390 GT.
Great video. I dont yet have a favourite bike. Just love the Triumph Daytona for that lovely engine with great torque the whole bandregister. Great bike for the price and ok price for the insurance. But i dont like the suspension and no standard quickshifter. Triumph has a great bike please update this and some better colours for 2025 and your home. I dont care if its a ”real Daytona” or not. Its still a good bike but needs some upgrades
I can only have one you know I can’t decide do you have any advice
😅 morini's weird v. Twin adventure thing seems interesting
Ktm Dream Garage✨
- 390 Enduro R
- 1390 Super Duke GT
- 990 RCR
Thank you
Me having the 2018 cb500f didn't mind the first hornet750's mask since it was the same thing.
I must say I don't think I like the new one, if they made it more like the one on the hornet1k it would have been nicer.
What are the best A2 motorcycles for weekend rides? What do you guys think?
Hi from Ireland Rob.
Seriously considering putting a non refundable deposit down for a Hornet SP. There will only be 3 delivered to Ireland in 2025.
Do you think they will have the bike at Motorcycle Live? I might go over for the day to see it before I pull the trigger back here.
That Benelli 900 TRK looks 😍
any news on the r12 scrambler/gs?
Always fun and very informative been on this channel. Would like it if you can help me get my next bike. Likely 2022 CB1000R and 1000 SX 2020 model
just coz the kawi klr has 2 headers - could be just a twin ported single pot.
Albeit focused on aesthetics and farkles, this is a great selection of EICMA high-points. If this ain’t the golden age of ICE’d bikes, what is?
Great video!!
