Modern Classic Motorcycle News – Week Ending 15th November 2026
After last week's mega-busy edition, it's been a relatively quiet week for motorcycle news, but there's still plenty to cover in our Modern Classic and Electric Motorcycle News Weekly Round-up for the week ending 15th November 2026.

BSA reveals two new models, TVS Motor Company reinforces its European ambitions, and Quad Lock announces 30% off sitewide for Black Friday.

Elsewhere, Historics prepares to auction two-wheeled icons at its Brooklands Velocity sale, Roadskin launches black Cargo Trousers and announces a partnership with The Motorbike Show. Akrapovič expands its Ducati exhaust range, while SW-Motech introduces its Click and Go waterproof bags. Turning to electric motorcycles, we explore why electric bikes are struggling to win over British riders, alongside VMOTO's global electric mobility strategy unveiled at EICMA 2026.
Finally, we've got more from our MotoVlogging coverage, including the official launch of the HOVERAir VERSA, our comprehensive guide to the ultimate motovlogging setup for 2027, and the DJI Christmas Gift Guide 2026, featuring our top technology picks for the festive season.
