2020 Bikes

[Dodd90]

With 2020 just round the corner and EICMA coming up in November which I’m sure will have all the newest bikes. What bikes are we looking forward to seeing the most?
Looking forward to seeing what the new Superduke will look like.

V4 fireblade!

Waiting to see price/spec of new MV Brutale 1000 RR (not the £38k series ono version)

I'm most looking forward to the Aprilia RS660, especially if they can keep the price sensible

Is that actually happening? we all got a excited a few years ago because some drawings were released with a V4 engine shown, but then the inline 4 was released! I really hope they do as they have to be the most boring bike in the superbike category...

Any new release Superbike will have to conform to Euro 5 (existing models need to conform by 2021 I think) so do they build an entirely new premium product (I think the market is there for collectible £30k++ stuff to rich Baby Boomers) or do they just tweak the same old Fireblade with some variable valve gear (Jo Normal 1000cc £15k sports market is disappearing surely?).

I'm interested to see the Tiger 800 replacement.

Ha ha, no..... it ain't happening.



Now that I've said that it's not happening, it'll probably will happen.....

Yes, I am also looking forward to this with great interest, hoping either EICMA or the Bike show it might be revealed rather than the prototype.

Same - not so much for that bike but for the look of future Aprilia's to come

2021 mine will be 2 years old and have circa 15-18k if I've not crashed it before so will be looking for a change

I think the Euro 5 introduction is where you will see a lot of changes

The new Superduke seems to be catering for the US Chopper Market!!

I’ve heard quite a few rumours it will be happening, don’t think it will be a Fireblade though, more likely designated RVF1000RR and will be north of £25k IF it does happen at all .

[Janluke]

No idea if any of these will ever be made but seen a few test pics or mock ups for the following

KTM 390 ADV
Versys 400
Husqvarna 801 Svartpilen/Vitpilen
Gpz style Z900RS

I am with Walter on this one if they do make a v4 going on previous model designations.

A new blade, especially if big H open the engineering taps.

Any changes for next years Tuono? Pretty much perfect as is but a new look might be nice

Did I see somewhere yesterday that it was going to have active aero/wings ?

Thats quite funny.........

You KNOW it will have lots of power, You KNOW it will look the Dogs bks, You KNOW it will have all the toys.... You also KNOW it will be pricey. You KNOW that every review will say it's great but flawed.

What more do you need to know...... Just order it!!!!!

Personally, i'm waiting for a Hybrid F4 before I replace my F4RR.

Yep I agree not a great deal I would change. Needs a freshen up on the front end. Could do with a weight lose diet

I know Aprilia stated getting a fuel gauge which is often asked has proved difficult due to the shape of the tank that runs under the seat? Could be rubbish but everyone asks for it

More accessories like many brands have jumped on like integrated heated grips wouldnt go amiss either

[BuzzBravado]

I'm still waiting for Kawasaki to look at the Urban Legends ZXR900 and make something with the z900.
