New Model Preview

Triumph announced a new Speed Triple for 2025, adding the latest in semi-active suspension, updated electronics, and a revised Euro 5+ compliant engine. The faired Speed Triple 1200 RR however appears to be phasing out, though it is still technically still around as a 2025 model with the limited edition Breitling edition. Arriving in showrooms in April, the 2025 Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RS arrives in dealerships with a starting price of $19,995.

Harley-Davidson announced a new Street Glide Ultra model for 2025, introducing the first full-dress touring model on its current touring platform. With its new fairing lowers and combination topcase and passenger backrest, the Street Glide Ultra essentially replaces the Ultra Limited in Harley-Davidson’s touring lineup.

Indian officially pulled the wraps off its expanded PowerPlus touring family, adding two fork-mounted fairing variants and introducing a larger 112ci version of the liquid-cooled engine.

The brand’s 390 range of machines offers the most segment coverage, including the 390 Adventure, 390 Duke, RC 390, and 390 SMC R. Now, the 390 Enduro R continues the platform’s expansion into other categories. Though, we should note that the RC 390 and 390 Adventure have yet to be updated with the latest 2024 engine.

We are days away from Harley-Davidson’s next 2025 model presentation, but Motorcycle.com has obtained a list of the models that will be part of the January 23 announcement. The list confirms several models we’ve previously reported about, including the 2025 Softail range and a Street Glide Ultra, plus one we hadn’t – new Pan America 1250 ST. The list also includes the 2025 Revolution Max models and four CVO models.

BMW announced a refreshed Big Boxer lineup, including Euro 5+ compliance, plus styling updates to the R 18 and R 18 Classic and fresh paint for the R 18 B, R 18 Transcontinental and R 18 Roctane. Expect all five variants to arrive in dealerships in the second quarter of 2025.

BMW is teasing a new model premiere on January 21, for what we expect to be updates for its R 18 range. So far, BMW has only released a single image of a model along with the tagline “Next Level Big Boxer Culture”.

Indian is teasing a new 2025 model review presentation on January 24 for the “new PowerPlus family”. Based on what we know thus far, we expect the presentation to include new liquid-cooled versions of the Roadmaster and Chieftain, joining the PowerPlus-engined Challenger and Pursuit.

After announcing its carry-over models last week, Harley-Davidson is expected to announce the bulk of its new and updated 2025 models on January 23, 2025.. While we await the official announcement, Motorcycle.com has obtained a list of what we believe will be a revamped 2025 Softail lineup, including a more powerful engine for the Low Rider models.

LiveWire will reveal a new model called the S2 Alpinista on Jan. 15, adding to its electric motorcycle lineup which also consists of the S2 Del Mar, S2 Mulholland, and LiveWire One.

The Bonneville Bobber is getting the Triumph Factory Custom treatment, including a special two-tone paint finish, a 19-inch front wheel, upgraded Öhlins and Brembo components, carbon-tipped Akrapovič silencers, and other upgrades elevating it above the regular model.

BMW announced a new retro-inspired R 12 S model, paying tribute to the 1973 R 90 S. Built on the same platform as the R 12 nineT, the R 12 S will arrive in dealerships in Q1 2025 for an MSRP of $21,590.

KTM brought back the 790 Adventure for the 2024 model year giving it a number of updates including a refined Power Assist Slipper Clutch, and engine updates allowing it to run better on low octane fuel.

BMW announced updates to its middleweight F 900 R roadster and F 900 XR crossover, updating their electronics, upgrading the suspension and reducing overall weight, while making both models compliant with Euro5+ standards.
