the list. We can now add the
Sherco Sahara 450, Beta RE 330,
Rieju Rally 307, Moto Morini
Canguro 300 and the Yamaha
Tenere 4 concept to that list.
Electric motorcycles continue
to increase in quantity and per-
formance. LiveWire, the Harley
spinoff, expanded the Honcho
line of bikes aimed at street
mobility; they also acquired the
Dust Moto brand, which is soon
to release the Hightail moto-
cross/off-road model that looks
very impressive. Zero, which is
one of the electric motorcycle
pioneers, launched two new
street-legal motorcycles ex-
pected to be available in the U.S.
in 2027. The Ventura is a super-
moto-type bike that includes
level two charging and the new
street-legal version of the XE off-
road bike.
The Chinese brands are com-
ing on strong. Several Chinese
motorcycle brands had large
displays at the show, including
CFMOTO, Kove, Segway and
Benda, which are already avail-
able in the U.S. ZXMoto, which
plans to enter the U.S. market
soon, perhaps made the biggest
waves. The brand won six World
Supersport races in 2026 and
has recently announced that
they will compete in the MXGP
Championship and World Rally
Championships in 2027. Ameri-
can Skyler Howes is competing
on the ZXMoto Rally team.
The better-known Japanese
and European brands are still
showcasing their market leader-
ship. Yamaha launched three ad-
venture scooters, electric mobility
models and the Tenere 4 Con-
cept. Honda had a massive dis-
play and launched three versions
of their Africa Twin as well as a
new CBR1000RR-R Superbike.
Kawasaki showed off the new
KLE650 Adventure motorcycle.
Suzuki introduced the GSX-10RS,
which attracted a lot of attention.
KTM focused on its new Factory
Edition motocross models. Aprilia
showed off the RSV4 Obscure
special edition sportbike.
Cycle News attended this
year's show. Check out our recap
video on page 34 that includes
some of these models and other
