Top five news stories for 2021
Here is the biggest news that had people talking in 2021Stop the presses! There has been plenty of exciting motorcycle news this year. Here are five of the biggest stories in 2021:
1. All new 2022 Yamaha YZF-R7 revealed
When Yamaha announced the demise of the long-running YZF-R6 earlier in 2021, it became obvious that it would replace it with an all-new machine. That all-new machine was the YZF-R7, a 689cc twin-cylinder supersport machine based on the popular MT-07.
2. New 2021 Harley-Davidson Pan America 1250 revealed
Arguably the most talked-about bike of 2021, the hotly-anticipated Harley-Davidson Pan America was unveiled in Hollywood-like fashion; literally with Hollywood star Jason Momoa’s help. Depending on who you speak to, it was well worth the wait.
3. New Kawasaki KLR650 goes next level for 2022
For a bike that simply received ABS, EFI and LED lighting for the first time, the new 2022 KLR650 really shouldn’t have been big news. The fact that it was one of our top-rating stories goes to show how popular this legendary bike really is.
4. Could Triumph Motorcycles be building a dirt bike range?
Spoiler alert – yes it is. Many online commenters suggested it was pure fantasy that Triumph would build a motocross and enduro range. But the British manufacturer confirmed our suspicions, with Ricky Carmichael and Ivan Cervantes helping Triumph to hit the dirt.
5. CFMOTO 800MT sprung!
CFMOTO’s deal with KTM is beginning to pay dividends, with the Chinese company slowly building a reputation outside the traditional ‘Made-in-China’ stigma. The 800MT is arguably the company’s most important model to date, and we spied a pre-production model outside a gem of a country pub in Elphinstone, Victoria.
