EICMA 2021

[bigoltool]

Since the EICMA show was effectively wiped out by the Pandemic last year, 2021 version is off to a pretty good start. A few of the new reveals from this years show.

New colors and electronics for the Katana, effectively all the goodies from the recently announced GSX-S1000GT

Katana sharpened! Suzuki roadster gets 2022 engine and electronics updates

The Kawasaki H2SX gets all the Electronics (Adaptive Cruise, Blind Spot Warning, Forward Collision alert etc.) I was hoping the new Hayabusa was going to get.

The Kawasaki Ninja H2 SX Gets a Radar Upgrade for 2022

The 2022 Kawasaki Ninja H2 SX is the first Japanese motorcycle with Bosch's adaptive cruise control and other radar-powered features.

The previously announced Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello is kind of intriuing with its active Aerodynamics and Ohlins active Suspension. Kind of like the looks honestly.

Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello Ushers in a New Era of Active Aeros

The first production motorcycle with active aeros is the Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello, which ushers in a new era of the iconic eagle brand from Italy.

New Bimota KB4. Not my cup of tea but it is a Bimota even if Kawasaki now own them.

The Bimota KB4 Is Rocking That Coveted Radiator-Under-Seat Look

The Bimota KB4 is an 142hp sport bike with some serious retro flair, but our favorite bit on this bike has to be the under-seat radiator and giant air duct.

Perhaps the coolest looking bike of the show so far... The Italjet Dragster Scooter!

Yeah....well......new colors for the Katana, and the bike will have its comeback in germany. The nightmare of our dealers......they sold 42 Katanas all across germany, in 3 years. I dont think they are happy about the comeback....

I personally like the newest Katana...it pays a good homage to the original and the power train is a tried and tested platform...upgrade it with tuning and original GSXR parts and it is a screamer.

People just don't know a good thing when they see it.

I'd ride one but it would have to be grey/silver like the original.

Not to put a damper on this, but if it uses the latest ECU (Ala the Gen 3 Hayabusa) it might be tougher to mod than previous generations. But I like the GXV-S 1000GT alot anyway.

...I have faith these guys will crack into that ECU before too long....

Maybe a set of hard bags will become available for the Gen 3, that's sure make it a good sport tourer.

So wish that Suzuki would take a page out of Kawasaki's H2SX book and just make a Hayabusa GT! The adaptive cruise control for me is a game changer. Having had it in my car for a decade now, It is the one thing that I will never be bale to upgrade on my bike. Ducati, BMW, KTM and now Kawasaki are coming with it, its time for Suzuki!

I really don't think Suzuki has it's head in the game anymore.

Sport bikes are dying. We are aging out , hard bags , cruise control and all this kind of stuff. Give it up just get a convertible and be done with it!

Updated Ducati Panigale V4. Didn't this thing reportedly make 234hp with the Akro exhaust last time around? They are saying a measly 225hp now!

That new GT1000 sure looks like some sort of Yamaha, the nose cone has detached away from the typical Suzuki look....

Almost looks like a faired MT10.

Coworker has one with full Akropovic and cf wheels.
It made high 220's at the wheel.

 

[ROADTOAD1340]

Just how are Ducati making such spectacular bikes with those huge HP numbers and still pass Euro5.... someones slipping through the checks me thinks .

Reminds me of VW diesels a few years ago...
And, with stock exhaust, the V4 is Loud.
It sounds like 2 v-twin Ducatis coming before you even see it.
I've yet to ride it.
And when we've rode together, either he's riding more conservatively than I think...or else it can't pull away from the gsxr(both are piped and tuned 2018's)
But, this video seems to agree.
