Where there is a new Yamaha MT-10 for the 2022 model year, there is also a new 2022 Yamaha MT-10 SP up-spec model. Debuting just ahead of this year’s EICMA show in Milan, the new MT-10 SP is a formula you can probably guess at.
Track day and racing fans in the supersport category will be happy to hear that the Yamaha YZF-R6 will continue to be offered as a track-only model for the 2022 model year, with the tuning fork brand bring two variations to market next year.
We are just days away from this year’s EICMA show, which means new bike leaks are coming in hot and heavy. The latest comes to us from the folks at MV Agusta, which has been hard at work on its new 950cc three-cylinder platform.
The first bike that we seem to be getting from this new displacement is an adventure-tourer, as photos of the machine have been spotted on the road with an MV Agusta test rider onboard.
Ducati is in the middle of its months long teaser/unveiling program for its 2022 model year machines, and tomorrow morning marks our third installment.
Lucky for us, the Italians have dropped enough hints on what we are about to see, though ironically some of the key details still allude us.
Keeping to its bi-weekly schedule, Ducati’s next installment was not only on-time, but also in the wheelhouse of what we were expecting from the Italian brand in its 2022 model year debut.
Showing us its new Scrambler machines, the standout addition is the new Ducati Scrambler Urban Motard. If the bike looks familiar to you, it should.
Two years ago, we saw the KTM 1290 Super Duke R getting a bevy of upgrades for the 2020 model year. Then last year, the KTM 1290 Super Duke RR broke cover, with no shortage of go-fast parts for 2021.
Now, we are getting ready for next year’s machines, and our Bothan spies have been busy searching for clues for what we could see during the new bike season.
With that, we can confirm that “The Beast” will get another upgrade, coming as the 2022 KTM 1290 Super Duke R EVO.
Tomorrow, Kawasaki will debut five new motorcycle models (along with a new Jet Ski). Then next month, for the EICMA show, Kawasaki has three more motorcycle debuts on its docket.
A busy timeline for Team Green, this news makes for a double-punch of new motorcycle models from Kawasaki for the 2022 model year, but we are not complaining.
What’s in a name? Well, if you are the new Ducati Multistrada V2, there is not much beyond some minor upgrades for the 2022 model year.
The first of the Italian brand’s new models that will debut in the company’s two-and-a-half-month-long teaser series, the 2022 Ducati Multistrada V2 is mostly a name change to keep the “mid-sized” adventure bike conforming to the rest of Ducati’s mid-sized lineup.
Episode 75 of the Brap Talk motorcycle podcast is out with another “weekly” episode, for your two-wheeled listening pleasure.
In this episode, we tackle a slew of motorcycle-related topics, and look mostly at some of the new machines that are cropping up for the 2022 model year.
Starting next Thursday, Ducati will be debuting a new motorcycle for the 2022 model year every two weeks.
The releasing event culminates on December 9th, and we already know what bike will capstone Ducati’s new model debut: the Ducati DesertX.
For those that didn’t get the memo, the following is the schedule and teasing title for Ducati’s six-part unveiling schedule online:
- September 30, 2021 – “Your everyday wonder”
- October 14, 2021 – “Mark your roots”
- October 28, 2021 – “Rule all mountains”
- November 11, 2021 – “A new Fighter in town”
- November 25, 2021 – “The evolution of Speed”
- December 9, 2021 – “Dream Wilder – DesertX”
As we can see, Ducati is being less obvious with some of its debuts than others, but with some insight into what the Italian brand has been up to, and which bikes it updated and debuted last year, we can reasonably discern what to expect in the coming weeks.
Suzuki’s lineup of “new” motorcycles continues to be iterations on established machines, and the 2022 Suzuki GSX-S1000 does not deviate from that plan.
That being said, the updated streetfighter brings a number of refinements to the GSX-S1000 name, along with some distinct styling choices.
