The clutch in a big twin is a basket with starter ring gear, a hub pressed into a bearing, and a series of plates that are friction and steel. Mechanically the bike is the standard SP2, employing a 1,103cc Desmosedici Stradale engine rated at 215 horsepower and 123 Nm of torque.

The ride relies on a 1,042cc twin-cylinder, 90-degree transverse engine to move around, and it does so under the power provided by 115 horsepower and 105 Nm of torque. The engine is cradled inside a new steel tube frame and spins wheels sized 19 inches at the front and 17 inches at the rear.

The Unbreakable stretch jean from Saint is woven with Dyneema (the same fiber that stops bullets, tethers space shuttles and armors helicopters). The Unbreakable’s single layer, lightweight material also features elastane for stretch for a little more freedom and comfort in your nether regions. Named just like a certain Alfa Romeo after a mountain pass in the Eastern Alps, it has nothing to do with the dual sport bikes made under the same name between 2007 and 2017. This one is, instead, an adventure touring based on the V100 Mandello. Just 300 units of this thing will ever be made, selling for prices that have not been announced yet (we'll update with this bit of info as soon as we learn more). The Ferrari of motorcycle building brought to the event something we'll probably be talking about for a long time: a tribute to one of the most beautiful bikes ever made, the 916.The seating position, for instance, was lowered by 15 mm to 860 mm (compared to the standard version). The height of the windscreen was raised to provide significantly more protection against wind.Most importantly, the suspension system is a tad stiffer, with 20 mm less wheel travel, to a total of 180 mm. The engine, although still the 1,000cc inline four-cylinder we're used to, received important internal upgrades, to the point it now develops 215 horsepower and 113 Nm of torque. Add to all of the above a series of carbon fiber components that lower the bike's weight by one kilogram (2.2 pounds), and you get the Carbon Edition of the Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP.

Sadly for Americans, it appears Yamaha will only offer the Explore on the Old Continent. Pricing and availability for it at the time of writing are not known, but we will update this entry as soon as we learn more. What makes the Moto Guzzi Stelvio something to look forward to for 2024 is the fact it is the first bike in the company's portfolio to use something called PFF Rider Assistance Solution. I'm talking about a system that uses 4D imaging radar sensors installed front and rear to feed data to the bike's rider assistance systems. The Harley-Davidson Pan America is one unique motorcycle, especially for the Motor Company. The guys at FXR Division didn't see it as an eyesore or a mis-step from the Milwaukee manufacuring juggernaut, no. They saw an opportunity to redefine what an American-made touring machine could and should be. With that being said, the once polarizing Harley ADV, is leaps and bounds one of the most thoughtful and cutting-edge customs we've seen in quite some time. When H-D approached FXR Division to participate in their HD120 celebration with a brand-new Pan America to build to their liking, they jumped at the opportunity. Our man on the street (not literally), Rob Fortier, happened to be out in Phoenix this past January, right after they got the notification from H-D, though it wouldn’t be till the end of February that they took delivery of the ’22 Pan America, leaving them but four months to design, execute, and complete the bar-raising build for its debut at the 14th Annual Born-Free Show! Tthis was a total collective effort to produce one show-stopping bike, and to properly give credit where credit’s due, I gave the three gentlemen behind the beast the opportunity to do so in their own words, which you'll have to read in the all-new Hot Bike magazine ON SALE NOW!
