🏍️ MOTORCYCLE NEWS THAT GETS WEIRD! From a screaming new Honda four-cylinder sport bike to Kawasaki’s adventure-ready KLX300 XPL, this roundup covers four stories that show just how diverse the motorcycle world has become.
Honda is bringing the CBR500R4 beyond China, with a 502cc inline-four engine, modern electronics, quickshifter and a completely different character from the typical parallel-twin sport bike.
Then there’s the 2027 Kawasaki KLX300 XPL, a lightweight dual-sport built for riders who want more adventure capability without moving into a much larger adventure motorcycle. We break down its engine, suspension, luggage equipment, ABS and price.
We also revisit one of Honda’s strangest and coolest ideas: the Honda City Turbo II Bulldog with the tiny folding Motocompo scooter. This unusual 1980s combination shows how clever urban mobility ideas can become serious collector history.
And finally, MotoGP is stepping into Formula 1 territory at Circuit of the Americas in Austin, with premier-class motorcycles scheduled for a special on-track showcase during the 2026 United States Grand Prix weekend.
Plus, we answer an important riding question: Should you always keep ABS switched on when riding over loose gravel? The answer depends on the motorcycle, surface and rider skill, and we explain what to understand before changing an ABS setting.
