5 Most Stunning Motorbikes of 2018

The new motorbikes of 2018 have left the world stunned and in awe. From concept bikes to improved retro versions of old-school originals, to completely new bikes, the bike enthusiasts are ready and waiting. Today, I will talk about the 5 most stunning motorbikes of 2018. Some of them are already out while some will be with us very soon.

  1. Royal Enfield 650 Twins

Why twins you ask? The 650 Twins share the same chassis, engine and overall basic platform. The difference is in the model names: The Interceptor and the Continental GT. Both bikes were revealed in 2017 at the EICMA and will not be launched till August 2018. The brothers share the same renowned twin 650 engine with a displacement of 648cc, however, the dynamics differ very subtly. The Interceptor looks like a calm stead with a narrow teardrop tank in the front. It is more for the cruiser in you to take around town on a sunny day. The Continental GT, on the other hand, screams “Rock and Roll”. It seems fit for the rock star in you who wears a leather jacket and boots with a blacked out helmet as a standard motorcycle apparel and rips down the street at night. With a slight difference in design, the Interceptor retails for AUD 10,000 (US $7,500 and INR 5 LAKHS).

  1. KTM 790 Duke

Although the KTM 790 Duke is set to come out in late 2018 and is being tagged as a 2019 model, this is one of the most anticipated bikes of 2018. Fondly named “The Scalpel”, the 790 will be priced at a reasonable £8,500 (US $11,300 and INR7.83 LAKH). With KTM claiming that this is the best weight to power machine in its class, it comes featured with a 2-cylinder, parallel twin, 4-stroke, inline engine that isn’t covered by any guards to make it look even more powerful than it already does. The 799cc motor is capable of producing 105 horsepower and 87 Nm of torque. It has a light chassis made from reinforced steel.

  1. The Kawasaki H2 SX

Launched at the 2018 Auto Expo in February, this green supercharged monster is the most powerful tourer the world has met. Expected to have a displacement of 998cc along with an inline-four engine, this beast spills muscle. With a 6-speed return, dog ring transmission system, the bike will whip out a little less than 200 horsepower at 11,000 RPM. With a redesigned supercharger, intakes and exhaust components, it produces less heat and more output. This blend of a superbike and touring bike built in 1 is a machine that comes in 2 variants; the H2 SX and H2 SX SE starts at US $19,000 and US $22,000 respectively.

  1. Ducati Panigale V4

This seems like the old Ducati Panigale body but with a V4 engine. That is not necessarily a bad thing. This is one of the first mass-produced Ducati’s with a 4-cylinder engine. This is what makes it so awaited for. The world knows what Ducati can do but the company is finally letting the masses be able to own their own Ducati with a V4. The Panigale will give out a whopping 214 horsepower at 13,000 RPM. The V4 comes in 3 variations. The Panigale V4 is priced at US $21,195. The Panigale V4 S, costing the US $27,495, comes with a lithium-ion battery and upgraded suspension for a better ride. The Panigale V4 Speciale, priced at US $39,995, features a top of the line Alcantara seat and aluminum works throughout. Sadly, only 15,000 units will be produced. Deliveries are set to start in July 2018.

  1. Kawasaki Z900 RS Café Racer

The limited production Kawasaki Z900 RS Café is a retro take on the already retro Z900 RS which paid homage to the original Z1 900. Priced at £11,099 (US $14,726), this bike boasts the old and original style of the Kawasaki line up but is tweaked to 2018 technology and comfort. The Z900 RS features a liquid cooled, 4-stroke, and DOHC 16 valve engine with a 6-speed return shift transmission. Mix that with a total displacement of 948cc and the world gains a formidable riding machine. According to Kawasaki representatives, buyers will be able to place orders in the beginning of June 2018.
