Motorcycling went big this week as World Ducati Week drew a record 118,036 fans to Misano for a massive centenary celebration. In MotoGP, a newly spaced-out grid layout debuted at the German GP to bolster rider safety following the recent holeshot device ban. On the asphalt, Marc Marquez topped Friday practice, while KTM locked in Fabio Di Giannantonio for 2027. Finally, Triumph dropped its bold 2027 colour schemes—including a sharp yellow-and-black Tiger Sport 800 arriving in UK dealers next month—and Suzuki expanded its line-up with the versatile SV-7GX crossover.
This week saw major shifts across the biking landscape. Royal Enfield kicked off the future by delivering its first-ever electric motorcycle, the Flying Flea C6, alongside a huge 27% global sales surge in June 2026. Suzuki similarly excelled, posting 21% growth with 115,030 units shipped. On home soil, American insurer Hagerty agreed to buy UK broker Bennetts for £34 million, taking over its 15% market share and “Bike Social” platform. Meanwhile, on the track, Luke Mossey topped Friday’s Superstock practice at Snetterton by a tight 0.013-second margin. The two-wheeled world is charging ahead.
