Modern Classic Motorcycle News Roundup: Top Bike Stories This Week | July 12, 2026
🏍️ Welcome to our weekly motorcycle news recap for the week ending 12th July ’26, where we cover the latest updates in the motorcycle industry, including new motorcycle models and modern classic motorcycles that are making waves. 🏍️
🏍️ Welcome to this week’s Modern Classic Motorcycle News Weekly Round-Up, where we bring you the latest stories, motorcycle launches, rider events, product news and industry updates from across the UK and beyond.
This week, we’re covering the Ace Cafe London Brighton Burn Up Weekend, upcoming Honda and 70’s Bike Day events, Harley-Davidson’s new Creators Custom Clash UK event, and the auction of one of Richard Hammond’s motorcycles. We also take a look at Royal Enfield’s characterful Bear 650, Triumph’s striking new 2027 colour schemes, the latest accessories from R&G and LighTech, Avon Tyres’ product range expansion, and Cardo’s move into Apple CarPlay integration.
On the M.C.M. News YouTube channel, we’ve been busy with our latest 2026 Kawasaki Z900RS Walk-Around, a feature on the innovative Maeving RM1S, our review of the RST Spectre Air Textile Jacket, and our countdown of the Top 10 Summer Motorcycle Jackets available in the UK for 2026. Plus, we highlight the release of Issue 71 of Modern Classic Motorcycle News, now available to members, non-members and Kindle readers, packed with motorcycle news, features, reviews and more.
Grab a brew, settle in, and let’s dive into this week’s biggest motorcycle stories.
