It’s a busier weekend of coverage as we catch up after not publishing last weekend. Welcome to Modern Classic Motorcycle News for the week ending 11th October 2026. We revisit our latest video features, Norton’s racing heritage at Goodwood Revival and Spain’s Triumph Originals victory. Triumph previews four new models for 2027 and introduces the Bonneville T40 and T40 Black, while its Scrambler 1200 XE Icon Edition features in “Matchbox The Movie”.
New-bike headlines include BMW’s F 450 R, a red finish for Suzuki’s 2027 8TT, and Zero’s anniversary limited edition and 2027 price reductions. Honda updates its custom and touring finishes, with closer looks at the CMX500 and CMX1100 Rebel families. We also cover autumn Suzuki offers, BMW finance and purchase incentives, KTM PowerDeals and Indian Motorcycle’s growth and confirmed EICMA attendance.
Gear news spans Alpinestars’ Racing Sport and ALL TERRA collections, the LS2 Spectrum intercom, Oxford’s Plug-It XL repair kit, Ducati clothing, Nolan’s X-804 ST and Ruroc’s Halloween-inspired Hellside helmet. Rounding things off are Charley Boorman’s MCL26 appearance with Zerofit, Phoenix Motorcycle Training’s Southwest expansion, Ace Cafe’s Brit ‘V’s & Classic Bike Day, and vintage and veteran machines at the October Ardingly Show.
