Finally some good motorcycle weather has been forecasted.

In the beginning of this month Yamaha first teased and afterwards revealed their all new R7 for 2021.
Yamaha killed off their R6 last year, probably due to the EURO5 regulations. Now they put the CP2 parallel twin engine of the naked MT07 in the chassis of a super sport bike.
This new R7 is smaller than the already small R3, and packed with new innovations.

Here is a link to our full artikel.

 

More exotic news reached us from MV Agusta.

A new Rush was introduced, their most bad-ass nakesbike ever, with numbers which puts the super bikes to shame, 212 pk at around 13.600 rpm and insanely expensive.


Only threehonderd will be made, and if we can believe their promotional video, you are going to arouse every woman on the planet.

Harley Davidson launched LiveWire as an EV motorcycle brand instead of a model in their line up.


Together with the introduction of their Pan America, HD is trying to turn the ship again in the right direction to make HD profitable again.

This month we will bring you a new article in our new segment called "Retro Ride" where we spend some time riding an older, maybe forgotten legend.


Kicking it off with a Suzuki SV650, a legendary bike for everyone who has a tight walled and still wants to have some fun.


All will be revealed shortly, so stay tuned.

As the weather is getting better in Europe, we are all getting our bikes out of the shad to poddle around town.

Some of us of course will directly pin the throttle fully open, resulting in spectacular crashes, some of them even life threatening.


To let us remind you about all the consequences and effects this has on others then yourself, we wrote an opinion article, if you want to read it click here.

 

More to come on the Transalp story as well later this month, as we finished our first allroad training and plan ahead.
