The big surprise from Milan At EICMA 2026, Yamaha has done something far more interesting than merely introduce another maxi-scooter. It has unveiled a new RW adventure-scooter family: the RW700, premium RW700 Explore and smaller RW350. For riders who enjoy touring, exploring unfamiliar roads and occasionally leaving the smooth tarmac behind, this could be one of the exhibition's most significant developments. For years, the conventional choice seemed straightforward. A scooter delivered everyday convenience; an adventure motorcycle delivered a stronger connection with th...

EICMA Milan 2026 | VroomItAJ First Impressions VroomItAJ | Motorcycle News & First Impressions EICMA MILAN 2026: NON-STOP MOTORCYCLE LAUNCHES — AND THERE IS MORE TO COME! Royal Enfield, Honda, Hero, BSA, Moto Morini, KYMCO and SYM are making Milan the centre of the motorcycling universe. Here is what caught my attention — and what Malaysian riders should watch next. By Dr. Amarjeet Singh @ AJ | VroomItAJ | 4 November 2026 | Developing show coverage FIRST IMPRESSION: EICMA is not simply about bigger engines and brighter display screens. The real story is how manufacturers are competing for riders who want usable performance, adventure capability, character, technology and value — all in the same motorcycle. There is something about the Milan Motorcycle Show that makes riders stop whatever they are doing and look at their phones. Every few minutes another machine appears online, another unveiling makes headlines, and another familiar badge announces a new direction. Even for ...

CFMOTO at EICMA 2026 | VroomItAJ VROOMITAJ • EICMA MILAN 2026 • SPECIAL REPORT CFMOTO'S BIG STATEMENT IN MILAN: V4 SUPERBIKE, 550 ADVENTURE TWINS AND TECHNOLOGY THAT DEMANDS ATTENTION From a 210-plus-horsepower V4 to accessible adventure motorcycles and a new electronic-clutch platform, CFMOTO is showing that it wants to be judged by its engineering, not just its price tag. By Dr. Amarjeet Singh @ AJ | VroomItAJ | 4 November 2026 AJ'S FIRST IMPRESSION: The most interesting CFMOTO story at EICMA is not any single bike. It is the range of ambition: a serious superbike, practical mid-capacity adventure machines, a new engineering architecture and an urban scooter, all under the theme Next is Now . Watching EICMA unfold online from Malaysia, I find myself returning to one question: when does a manufacturer stop being described as an affordable alternative and start being assessed as a genuine innovator? CFMOTO is making a persuasive case that this moment has arrived. At its Hall ...

A rider’s reflection · Brotherhood · Freedom WHY DO BIKERS ALWAYS LOOK SO HAPPY? An open letter from one rider to another. A perspective from the road, the brotherhood and the freedom we choose. A little boy was looking out of the car window when he asked his father: “Dad, why do people on motorcycles always look so happy?” The father replied: “Oh son, I don't really know. Maybe they are a little crazy!” They ride in the hot sun, get soaked in the rain, wake up before sunrise and travel hundreds of kilometres just to meet people for a cup of coffee. They call strangers brothers and sisters. They stop for people they have never met. They hug one another like long-lost family members. They spend money on petrol, tyres, helmets, riding gear and machines that sometimes cost more than a small car. And the strangest thing? They are already planning their next ride before reaching home from the current one! As a biker, I would like to tell that little boy something his fathe...

It Is Not a Mid-Life Crisis. It Is a Life Beyond Words. By Amarjeet Singh @ AJ Some people see a motorcycle as a machine. I never did. To me, a motorcycle was never just metal, rubber, chrome, horsepower, torque, or engine size. It was never just about getting from one place to another. It was never about showing off, making noise, or proving a point to the world. A motorcycle, to me, became something far more personal. Far more emotional. Far more spiritual, in its own strange way. It became part of my life story. From the first machine I ever owned, the Yamaha Royal Star 1300, to the Yamaha 1100, from the deep cruising soul of a chopper to the comfortable power of my Kawasaki Versys 1000, from the majestic road-commanding Honda Goldwing 1800 to the different thrill of the Can-Am Spyder, and then to the sport riders that came into my life after that — every machine had a voice, a character, a r...
