Honda recently announced the new CRF450RX Rally, officially unveiled to the public in early March at Motodays in Rome. But despite being available for purchase, not everyone will be able to buy one.

The price is already a selective factor: €31,140. However, unlike its mass-produced models, only 50 units will be manufactured this year… and they will only be available under certain conditions.

According to TodoCircuito.com, interested buyers must prove that they will actually compete with the CRF450RX Rally. This makes the bike even more exclusive – somewhat similar to how KTM handles its Rally Replica models.

This bike has features similar to the CRF 450 Rally, which Honda’s factory team enters in the Dakar and other major rally-raid events. It was built in partnership with RedMoto.

It has a 449.7cc single-cylinder engine with 58 hp, a six-speed gearbox, a twin-spar aluminum frame, an inverted Showa front fork, and a Showa rear shock with Honda Pro-Link. Each wheel has a brake disc.

The CRF450RX Rally has two fuel tanks with a total capacity of 22 liters, plus a rear tank with 14 liters. The navigation tower is made of carbon fiber, as is the skid plate.

Acerbis will continue to be a partner of the FIM International Six Days of Enduro (ISDE) until next year’s edition. This year’s event, the 90th edition, will take place from August 24 to 26 in Bergamo, Italy.

The ISDE is one of the most prestigious enduro competitions, bringing together the best riders in the discipline. Unlike most motorcycle races, participants represent their national federations and compete under their country’s colors.

Guido Acerbis, CEO of Acerbis Italia, stated: ‘We are extremely proud to be the main partner and official clothing supplier of the FIM International Six Days of Enduro, which will take place in our region this year. This event is not only a great challenge for riders but also a celebration of our passion for off-road racing – a value deeply rooted in our «DNA». We can’t wait to see the best riders tackle this terrain, which holds a special meaning for us’.

From the FIM’s perspective, Fabio Muner, Director of Marketing and Digital, commented: ‘Acerbis is at the heart of enduro, and Bergamo is at the heart of Acerbis, so with the return of the 6 Days to this extraordinary region for its historic 90th edition, it’s fantastic to know that we can count on their support at least until 2026. On behalf of the FIM, I would like to thank Acerbis for their continued commitment to the 6 Days and for this iconic collaboration’.

Founded in 1973 in Albino, Acerbis is a company specializing in various motorcycle gear, including apparel, helmets, and protective components for motorcycles.

Ducati honors Francesco Bagnaia’s victory at the MotoGP Italian GP last year with the new Panigale V4 Tricolore Italia. This was revealed at the Minister of Enterprises and Made in Italy.

At an event attended by CEO Claudio Domenicali and Minister Adolfo Urso, this special edition motorcycle was introduced, limited to only 163 units.

The Tricolore livery is similar to what Bagnaia wore in Mugello on June 2, 2024, on his Desmosedici GP24, winning the Italian GP: a blue base, with the same sponsors, and a white part featuring the colors of the Italian flag.

Compared to the regular Panigale V4, the Tricolore Italia features an aluminum fuel tank with a 17-liter capacity, originally signed by Bagnaia; a kerb weight of 188 kg (without fuel); Alcantara seat; racing plexiglass; a dry clutch kit; carbon fibre rims homologated for passenger use; carbon fibre applied to front and rear mudguards, chain guard, heel guards; swingarm cover; exhaust guard, and alternator cover.

Other differences include adjustable billet aluminum footpegs, a GPS module, and a PRO+ braking system in the front, which now features two Brembo T-drive ventilated discs and Brembo GP4 Sport Production calipers, along with a Brembo MCS 19.21 pump with remote adjustment.

Each of the 163 units comes with a billet aluminum steering plate displaying the progressive number and model name, as well as a dedicated animation on the dashboard when the key is inserted. The aluminum contact key also features the progressive number.

The extra equipment for the bike includes a dedicated wooden transport crate, a dedicated motorcycle cover, a certificate of authenticity, and a customized box for additional components.

Not homologated for road use, but part of the extra equipment in this edition, are the billet aluminum racing fuel tank cap, carbon fibre brake caliper air conveyors, a license plate holder removal kit, and an open carbon fibre clutch cover.

As for the rest, the Ducati Panigale V4 Tricolore Italia retains the same 1,103cc Desmosedici Stradale engine with 216 hp and 120.9 Nm of torque, Öhlins suspension, and other technical features that are unchanged from the regular model.

This year, Yamaha launched a new version of the XSR900, but the Japanese market has an exclusive variant. Technically, the bike remains the same, but aesthetically, it is different.

The Japan Domestic Model (JDM) features a unique design compared to the versions available in Europe and other countries. It comes in pearl tones with a brown, upholstered seat, called Ceramic Ivory. The front fork is gold.

The bike is powered by a three-cylinder engine with an 888cc displacement, capable of producing 118 hp and 93 Nm of torque. It has a six-speed gearbox. The suspension setup includes a telescopic front fork and a rear shock absorber connected to the swingarm. The frame is a diamond-type structure.

The XSR900, designed for both rider and passenger, is equipped with dual front disc brakes and a single rear disc. Both wheels measure 17 inches. The fuel tank holds up to 14 liters, and the lighting system is fully LED.

Schuberth and Cardo have teamed up once again to work on the area of integrated intercom systems for motorcycle helmets.

Previously, the two companies collaborated on the world’s first integrated communicator for the Schuberth C3 – the SRC. Now, the new project is the SC Edge, which is based on the Packtalk Edge platform.

It is a plug-and-play connectivity solution, compatible with Schuberth helmets including the C5 Carbon, E2 Carbon, C5, S3, and J2. It has an IPX5 waterproof certification, meaning it can handle extreme weather conditions.

The system features Cardo’s second-generation Dynamic Mesh Communication (DMC) connectivity, Bluetooth 5.2, Natural Voice Operation, and a range of over one kilometer. Future software updates after purchase are guaranteed via over-the-air.

Typically, when someone buys a motorcycle (or any other vehicle), it’s for riding. However, that wasn’t the case for the current owner of this 2002 MV Agusta F4 750S.

Nearly 23 years later, the bike has only traveled 13 km and is now up for auction at Iconic Motorbikes. When purchased, the owner chose to preserve it rather than use it. After more than two decades sitting idle, it has no battery or fluids. Therefore, whoever buys it will need to have it serviced before riding.

The F4 750S marked MV Agusta’s revival in the new millennium, standing as the brand’s flagship model. Designed by Massimo Tamburini, it is a superbike powered by a four-cylinder engine producing 126 hp and 72 Nm of torque.

Its exhaust system with four outlets is equally impressive. From the factory, it features an inverted Showa front fork, a Sachs rear shock absorber, and Nissin braking components.

The unit up for sale until March 22 is finished in light gray. It includes the original tool kit, stands, key, owner’s manual, cover, and the original rear turn signals.

Piaggio has officially introduced the new Medley to the Italian market, featuring several changes and improvements for 2025.

The Medley 200 comes with a modern 174cc single-cylinder engine, delivering 13 kW of power and 16.5 Nm of torque. It features a tubular steel frame, a telescopic front fork, two rear shock absorbers, and disc brakes with ABS and ASR on both wheels.

The transmission is an automatic CVT, while the scooter also boasts full LED lighting and a modern digital LCD instrument panel. Under the seat, there is a convenient storage compartment.

The S version stands out with sporty black finishes and is available in three color options: Blu Ardesia (blue), Bianco Luna (white), and Nero Meteora (black). The Piaggio Medley 200 is offered in Nero Abisso (black) and Grigio Astrale (gray).

For both versions, there is also a variant with a smaller-displacement engine (125cc), producing 11 kW of power and 12 Nm of torque. All other specifications remain the same, though performance and top speeds are slightly lower.

These scooters are now more powerful while also gaining in elegance and agility, thanks to their low weight. Comfort is not compromised, as expected from a GT scooter. In Italy, prices start at €3,899.

NIU is celebrating its tenth anniversary, and for the occasion, it will release six special editions of its electric models. The collection includes the NQiX 150, 500, and 1000 scooters, the FQi 500 scooter, as well as the RQi Sport and XQi3 motorcycles.

The models feature exclusive designs that pay tribute to the ten years of the electric motorcycle manufacturer. They will be available with a set of accessories and merchandise created for the occasion.

NQiX e FQi 500 Scooters

The design of the three NQiX variants in this special edition is identical, but the specifications vary. The NQiX has a 2 hp motor and a 28 Ah battery, reaching a top speed of 45 km/h and offering 70 km of range.

The NQiX 500 features a 6.7 hp motor, two 28 Ah batteries, a top speed of 100 km/h, and 95 km of range. The NQiX 1000 offers 13.4 hp of power, a top speed of 125 km/h, and 178 km of range.

The brakes are the same for all: a hydraulic disc on each wheel. The suspension consists of a telescopic fork in the front and a double rear shock absorber.

As for the FQi 500, it is a scooter with a 6.7 hp motor, rear double shock absorbers, and one brake disc on each wheel with a combined braking system (CBS). It reaches a top speed of 95 km/h and offers 91 km of range thanks to two 28 Ah batteries.

RQi Sport e XQi3 Motorcycles

This promotional offering from NIU for its tenth anniversary also includes two electric motorcycles. One of them is road-oriented, the RQi Sport. A 7 hp motor allows it to reach 110 km/h, and the two 36 Ah batteries provide up to 105 km of range. The brakes are disc-based, with ABS and TCS, while the suspension consists of an inverted fork in the front and a rear shock absorber.

For off-road use, NIU offers the XQi3. The motor has 5 hp of power, and given its intended use, it’s no surprise that the top speed is not high (45 km/h). The 32 Ah battery provides 90 km of range. There are disc brakes on both wheels, with the same size (220 millimeters), front fork, and rear shock absorber.

KTM AG resumed motorcycle production this Monday, March 17. The restructuring plan was approved in February, and now the outlook appears more optimistic.

However, the storm is not over yet. Production was only able to restart thanks to a €50 million injection from Bajaj. But by May 23, €600 million will need to be paid to creditors.

This is not an easy sum to secure. Citigroup has been tasked with finding investors, and according to GPOne.com, one potential investor could be CFMoto.

The Chinese manufacturer already has a partnership with KTM AG, but now it could increase its involvement – becoming the majority shareholder in place of Stefan Pierer, who resigned from the executive board in March.

Italy has breathtaking landscapes and routes not only on the mainland but also on its three great islands. And that is where the Honda Three Islands Raid 2025 will take place.

Participants will have the opportunity to travel across Corsica, Sardinia, and Sicily from north to south in a single journey. They will ride on asphalt roads for more than 1,300 km with many curves, enjoying the ride, the spirit, the motorcycles, and, of course, the local cuisine.

The departure is from Livorno (mainland Italy), and the arrival is in Catania (Sicily), but those who choose to return to the mainland will go to Rome, covering a total of over 2,000 km.

There are two participation options: Fly&Ride with the Honda Africa Twin fleet, with six days of travel and six nights between Livorno and Catania (with a return flight); and by land with a personal motorcycle or one from the Honda Africa Twin fleet, with nine days of travel and eight nights, departing from Livorno and adding three more days of riding in Calabria, Campania, and Lazio until reaching Rome.

Each day, participants will travel between 180 km and 290 km, but there will be a marathon stage of 400 km. It will be possible to stay in an extra room at no additional cost, or in a double/twin room for couples or friends. There will be professional instructors leading and closing the convoy, and a support van to transport luggage and provide assistance if necessary – including a replacement motorcycle of the same level.

Group 1 will take place from April 23 to April 28 (Fly&Ride) or until May 1 (return by land), while Group 2 will take place from May 7 to May 12 (Fly&Ride) or until May 15 (return by land). The full program and prices are available at this link.
