Modern Classic Motorcycle News Roundup: Top Bike Stories This Week | June 28, 2026
🏍️ Welcome to our weekly motorcycle news recap for the week ending 28th June ’26, where we cover the latest updates in the motorcycle industry, including new motorcycle models and modern classic motorcycles that are making waves. 🏍️
Modern Classic Motorcycle News - Kindle Edition
🏍️ This week’s Modern Classic Motorcycle News Weekly Round-Up is packed with the latest motorcycle news, exciting product launches, industry updates and feature content from across the modern classic, touring, adventure and electric motorcycle worlds.
We begin with Ducati celebrating its passionate community through the Ducati Heritage Contest ahead of World Ducati Week, while Royal Enfield marks another significant milestone by unveiling a World Origin Site Plaque in Redditch to commemorate the brand’s 125th anniversary. Harley-Davidson also takes centre stage with the reveal of its latest Creators Custom Clash builds, alongside confirmation that the European Harley Owners Group Rally will return to Croatia in 2027.
There is no shortage of new riding gear and technology this week. We take a look at the Kriega R25 Guy Martin Edition backpack, the striking LS2 Explorer Carbon helmet, AIROH’s new AWC 4 and AWC 2 communication systems, Cardo’s groundbreaking Venture, the world’s first integrated mesh helmet for motocross and off-road riding, and Sena’s new Spider X Slim communicator. Honda also showcases its innovative E-Clutch technology, while Vespa celebrates eight decades of style with the special Edizione Ottantesimo model.
On the Modern Classic Motorcycle News channel, we’ve got plenty of fresh content for you to enjoy. Members can now access Issue 70 of the M.C.M. News digital magazine, while everyone can watch our latest videos featuring the Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 Café Racer, our Top 10 Electric Motorcycles available in the UK for 2026, and our in-depth review of the Triumph Speed Twin 1200. We also bring you hands-on features covering the SENA Phantom Mesh Intercom Helmet, the Quad Lock Backpack Traverse, and our latest feature exploring what makes modern classic motorcycles so special.
Finally, we round things off with details of the upcoming Ace Cafe London Ride Out to Cassington Bike Night, a first look at the 2027 KTM 790 Duke, and all the latest headlines from across the motorcycle industry. Whether you’re into modern classics, electric motorcycles, touring, technology or custom bikes, this week’s round-up has something for every rider.
