KTM plans 250 Duke
According to KTM president Stefan Pierer, the company is developing a 250 or 300cc version of the new KTM 125 Duke and says it should be ready in about 18 months. “We’re working on a 250cc up to 300cc single-cylinder engine, also four valves with twin overhead camshafts,” Pierer told Alan Cathcart. “This has more or less the same external dimensions so we can install it in the existing 125...
2011 Honda CBR600F: a faired Hornet
It seems like Honda’s big idea for 2011 was to repurpose existing or old models into brand new ones. First, the VFR800 turned into the 2011 Honda Crossrunner and now the Honda Hornet gains a fairing, transforming it into the 2011 Honda CBR600F. A simple approach, but is it an effective one?

Remember when we said Suzuki wasn’t bothering with 2011? Well, it turns out they are bothering, but just a little bit. This official sketch previews the 2011 Suzuki GSX-R600 and 2011 Suzuki GSX-R750 that will debut at Intermot Cologne on October 5. What we’re looking at is a relatively minor facelift. The biggest visual changes are the four new air intakes stacked to the sides of the now s...
