Issue 714 is a digital edition built around EICMA 2026, while still covering the wider motorcycle scene. Its main feature asks what visitors made of the show, which motorcycles stood out and where the event delivered surprises. The package moves through adventure scooters, fully faired sportbikes, sporty nakeds, mini cruisers, concepts and special builds. It also includes dedicated looks at 450cc adventure motorcycles and motocross, giving the show coverage a broad range rather than limiting it to one category.

New models and technical developments

The news section covers the next-generation Yamaha MT-125 for 2027. The BMW M 1000 RR is featured with a frame that weighs 1.3 kg less and has been designed to flex in a controlled way where required. A teaser points towards the new Kawasaki KLE 650, while the Zontes 703-RR is listed with a three-cylinder engine, aerodynamic winglets and 95 CV. The same section examines Norton’s single-cylinder 450 and asks whether its engine is connected to the TVS catalogue, leaving that point as an open question rather than a confirmed fact. The return of the Honda Motra and the changes to the SYM Symphony 100i MY26 are also part of the news line-up.

Racing coverage spans MotoGP, WorldSBK and motocross. Nicolò Bulega is featured in connection with his next MotoGP challenge and with the revelation that Marc Márquez apologised to him and gave him his helmet. Other MotoGP subjects include Marco Bezzecchi and Valentino Rossi. Tim Gajser describes 2026 as a year of learning and sets a return to winning as his goal for 2027, while Danilo Petrucci discusses what he calls his most difficult Superbike season. The rest of the issue ranges from the restoration of a 1923 Moto Guzzi Normale to the Top Mountain Motorcycle Museum, whose feature highlights 640 motorcycles at an altitude of 2,175 metres. A look back at 50 years of MotoGP and profiles of Andrea Scanzi, Clemente Russo, Debora Spinelli and Charley Boorman complete the package. Download access is reserved for MotorHero members.
