Episode 184 of the Paddock Pass Podcast is out, and this one again brings us into the MotoGP paddock, with an open question on who has the most to prove in the 2021 season.

To broach that topic, we have Neil Morrison, Steve English, David Emmett, and Adam Wheeler on the mics, as they discuss the in’s and out’s on this prelude to the start of the motorcycle racing season.

We are another day closer to the unveiling of the 2021 Suzuki Hayabusa – an event that marks the entry of the third generation of this venerable hyperbike.

Set for its official debut on February 5th, details and images continue to leak and tease for this new model, including today’s installment, which gives us our first clean look at the bike in motion.

The video was first spotted by our friends at MaxxMoto,  we can see that the bike looks identical to the leaked photo we saw a couple days ago, which gives validity to our previous analysis.

When the KTM 890 Duke debuted two weeks ago, we were impressed by what the Austrian brand was bringing to the table with this 890cc naked bike.

The KTM 790 Duke had been our sweet spot for price and performance in the sport, and while the KTM 890 Duke promised more “bang” than its predecessor, we wondered at what cost on the “buck” side of the equation.

This is because KTM North America didn’t release pricing information when the 2021 KTM 890 Duke was unveiled – thankfully our Bothan spies have been busy on the job.

The Norton Motorcycles brand has gone through the wringer this past year, with the company’s financial scandal culminating in  India’s TVS Motor Company purchasing the beleaguered British marque.

Much was said about what the future of Norton would look like under TVS ownership, but it seems clear now that the new regime is set on righting the ship.

In addition to its product lineup commitments, TVS has invested heavily in Norton’s long-term future. The latest evidence of this is the creation of a new headquarters for the iconic motorcycle brand in Solihull, in the West Midlands of England.

Later this year, we will see the Aprilia Tuareg 660 officially unveiled, but that hasn’t stopped the excitement of seeing this twin-cylinder adventure bike ahead of its proper debut.

Spotted on the road by spy photographers, we get out first real glimpse of the details onboard the Aprilia Tuareg 660, including a good look at the bike’s face – you can see all the shots on the British site Visordown.

After tons of speculation about the prospect of an updated Hayabusa, Suzuki seems finally ready to shake the streets again with a new version of this iconic sport bike.

There have been so many rumors about the next-generation of the Suzuki Hayabusa, that we dedicated our own series of stories to the onslaught of speculations, inside infos, and rumors. But now, the real-deal seems just a few days away.

We say this because of two teaser videos that Suzuki has posted to its YouTube channel, which boast of a new motorcycle debuting on February 5th.

Dorna Motor Sports has announced a new race series aimed promoting young racers and helping them start their racing careers.

The new race league is called the FIM MiniGP World Series, and it is a novel approach to finding young racing talent, ages 10 to 14, around the globe.

The concept is simple: Dorna and the FIM have created a standardized racing format that clubs at the national, regional, and continental levels can adopt, which  creates a level playing field for young racers to make their mark.

When the KTM 1290 Super Adventure S for the 2021 model year debuted yesterday, the Austrian brand gave us some pitifully small photos. I spit on the ground when I saw them, they were so woefully small and soured my senses.

Knowing how much our readers enjoy obnoxiously large photos of motorcycles, we aimed to do better. So, here we are today, with 44 high-resolution photos of the KTM 1290 Super Adventure S, for your viewing pleasure.
