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.
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.
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.
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.
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 👍👍🇮🇪🇮🇪
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.
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 😊👍
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.
Trouble is after walking around eicma saying "how much" "how much" at all the ridiculously expensive machinery you would need a few glasses of scotch and a few hours in your favourite armchair to deal with the shock , even the pony chinese shyte !
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.
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?
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...
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.
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
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".
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.
What motorcycle live needs is more bikes and more kit, not more food! I'll be interested to hear how it is, but I suspect it'll be gimmicky. I've come away disappointed the last few times I've been so won't be going again until things significantly improve.
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.
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.
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 ;)
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.
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.
You got the power thing correct in one part of the vid and botched it in the Duc section. The new Duc V2 may not be down on power compared to the old one. All we know is that it's down on PEAK power. Engines make power across the entire rev range. You gotta sum up that power to compare the outputs of their engines. The new engine makes its power a helluva lot more linearly than the old one. As a street bike, it should never be any other way.
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.

Bear 650, F450 GS, DRZ-4S and SM, probably are my favorite!
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!
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.
I really loved the KTM 390 Enduro R ❤
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 🙏🍻
My absolute favorite has to be the DRZ4S, sooo good. I am getting one for sure
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
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 🤘
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.
DRZ-4s was definitely the show stopper for me.
Kudos Motobob! The ethic, consistency and quality of your vids always impresses. Here’s to your continued growth and success!
You're working hard MotoBob!
Favorite? Easily the Aprilia Tuareg Rally. But that Tenere 700 in race colors is pretty cool too
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 👍👍🇮🇪🇮🇪

Can't wait to see these bikes with us from the 16-24 November 😃
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 😊👍
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
Super excited to see the tiger sport 800 come to the US
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.
2o:52 dayum super moto is backkkkk lets go :D
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!
everyone complain about Yamaha but BMW still doesn't have a sportbike that isn't 1000cc
BMW GS 450 , going to be a massive seller !
Aprilia RS660 Factory takes it for me. Been waiting for this bike 🤝
My top pics KTM adv390, BMW F450, touno457 new translap
Ducati V2 looks great!
Wasn't interested in EICMA and you got me god damn excited now. This year is awesome for us - a lot to choose from.
I was hoping Yamaha was going to have a new T9 with the Tracer 9 motor!
Hear me out but the f3 looks like a gixxer 1000 and the fireblade had a baby
Bear 650 is my fav - I want one! Thanks for the overview - great work as usual...on another matter - what happened to Full Tank?
My fav was REC650 😍
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. :)
I actually liked the Honda 350 air-cooled bike.
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.
Anxiously waiting for the Panigale Tricolore.
I didn't think Honda could make the CB750 Hornet uglier, but they succeeded! Great job, Honda!
Excellent round up, I like 'em all 😉. Liking the Moto Morini 3.5.
I can’t wait to see what the 1300rs will look like, love my 1250rs for its awesome looks and performance
Thank you! Awesome video!
Mahalo Nui Loa for sharing 🤙
The 2025 xsr900 is getting heaps of upgrades. New gen quick shifter, new full colour tft, just to name a couple.
Trouble is after walking around eicma saying "how much" "how much" at all the ridiculously expensive machinery you would need a few glasses of scotch and a few hours in your favourite armchair to deal with the shock , even the pony chinese shyte !
I am into the new Tuono! 🤤
And loved the Husqvarna Svarpilen 801 custom bike ❤❤❤
Great video 👍😁
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.
KTM RC 990 R for sure.. thing is gonna be a weapon and so fun on track
That classic 650🤤🤤🤤
Cheers Bob I’ve enjoyed the coverage.a few good bikes incoming👍
The mt07 update takes the cake for me, i might get one
The super bikes look amazing especially the m1000rr
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.
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?
I am so stoked about the 390 SMCR.
I only wished they dropped a 280° 490 and had that in the smcr.
KTM 990 RCR, going to get one for sure
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...
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.
outstanding review! i will take one of each please!

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
Is the new streetfigher or the Ms1000r the better bike to look at? Which one.
Husqvarna !!
did you see that beauty ?
oh man!!
Bob, Royal Enfield said the Flea will be a 60/60 vehicle (60mph, 60 mile range). A little google would have helped there.
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".

- 390 Enduro R

990 RCR 👑🖤
Thank you
That Benelli 900 TRK looks 😍
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👍
Was hoping to see the Honda CT 125 / Hunter Cub 2025 announced for a Europe release 😢
What motorcycle live needs is more bikes and more kit, not more food! I'll be interested to hear how it is, but I suspect it'll be gimmicky. I've come away disappointed the last few times I've been so won't be going again until things significantly improve.
So much good stuff at this years EICMA; a new golden age of motorcycling?
Bob, please make a video of the best accessories for motorcycles and riders that you saw at EICMA
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
Was really sad there was no r12 scrambler or gs based off the r nine t or triumph scrambler 400XE
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.
Great video!!

As a Tracer 9GT owner I'm eyeing on the Sports Tourrer Moto Morini has announced.
😅 morini's weird v. Twin adventure thing seems interesting
I can only have one you know I can’t decide do you have any advice
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.
Without doubt the Moto Guzzi V7 Sport ... if only it had the more powerful engine of the 85TT !!!.
just coz the kawi klr has 2 headers - could be just a twin ported single pot.
Any video on the 2025 XSR900 ?
Be Most Wicked! But Must Work...
You got the power thing correct in one part of the vid and botched it in the Duc section. The new Duc V2 may not be down on power compared to the old one. All we know is that it's down on PEAK power. Engines make power across the entire rev range. You gotta sum up that power to compare the outputs of their engines.
The new engine makes its power a helluva lot more linearly than the old one. As a street bike, it should never be any other way.
My favorite bike would be the KTM 390 Adventure R. It is a bike I will surely get if launched in India with all the upgraded bits.
What are the superbikes ( liter bike ) which someone should have in the collection which are currently available to buy from AD?
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.
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?
What are all those valve springs? FROM A DUCATI???????
R9 for sure.
