Honda introduces new ADV125 crossover scooter at EICMA 2026. Honda introduces the new ADV125 crossover scooter at EICMA 2026, featuring a 125cc liquid-cooled engine, adventure-inspired styling, a TFT display with RoadSync connectivity and rider-focused technology. Honda has expanded its crossover adventure scooter range by introducing the ADV125 at EICMA 2026. It is a smaller entry-level iteration of its ADV scooter line-up developed for urban commuting and mild off-road riding, taking its design inspiration from the larger X-ADV and ADV350. The new scooter combines adventure-inspired styling with practical equipment, smartphone connectivity and a liquid-cooled engine. What engine powers the Honda ADV125? A 125cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled, four-valve eSP+ engine with electronic fuel injection powers the new ADV125 scooter. The engine produces 12.3 hp, while peak torque is rated at 11.7 Nm at 6,500 rpm. Power is delivered to the rear wheel through a continuously variable transmission (CVT). The scooter also features Honda's Idling Stop system, which automatically switches off the engine when the vehicle comes to stationary. What design and chassis features does the Honda ADV125 get? The ADV embraces a design influenced by Honda's larger adventure-style scooter, integrating the two distinct segments into one, combining an adventure motorcycle's ruggedness with a useful scooter design. Its styling includes a raised front section, protective bodywork and block-pattern tyres, giving it a more rugged appearance than a conventional urban scooter. The ADV scooter is built around a steel tubular underbone frame and rides on 14-inch front and 13-inch rear cast wheels. Suspension duties are handled by a 31mm Showa telescopic front fork and twin rear shock absorbers. The ground clearance is rated at 165 mm, and the scooter weighs 133 kg. What technology and convenience features are available? The Honda ADV125 comes equipped with a 5-inch full-colour TFT instrument display with Honda RoadSync smartphone connectivity, enabling functions such as navigation, calls and music. Other convenience features include Honda Smart Key operation, LED lighting and a USB Type-C charging port. The windscreen can be manually adjusted through a 75mm range to suit different riding conditions. The ADC125 offers typical scooter practicality such as a 29-litre under-seat compartment and a 2-litre front glovebox. To further improve practicality, Honda also lists a 40-litre Smart Top Box and heated grips among the available accessories. What safety features does the Honda ADV125 offer? The Honda ADV125 scooter comes equipped with a front-wheel anti-lock braking system (ABS), Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) and an Emergency Stop Function, which activates hazard indicators under sudden braking. The braking hardware includes a 240mm front disc with a two-piston Nissin calliper. When will the Honda ADV125 be available, and what is its price? Honda introduced the ADV125 as part of its 2027 European line-up at EICMA 2026. In the UK, Honda lists the scooter at £3,799.

EICMA 2026: The updated Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade is sharper than ever. Almost 75% of the old model's parts have been reengineered for this update MOTORCYCLE BRANDS IN THIS ARTICLE As seen at the 2026 Esposizione Internazionale Ciclo Motociclo e Accessori (EICMA), the Honda Fireblade CBR1000RR-R lineup is undergoing some major changes - inside and out - for its 2027 update. Just how major? Well, a whopping 75% of the supersport bike's existing parts have reportedly been reengineered to achieve all sorts of performance improvements. For starters, the chassis features a newly designed two-cylinder frame, the engine mount now uses a bolt-on configuration with separate brackets, and the swingarm's dimensions have been adjusted. These changes help optimize body rigidity, which is critical to the Fireblade's cornering performance. The thin-wall gravity die casting process also helps fine-tune that rigidity while making it 440g lighter than the previous chassis. The weight savings continue with the fuel tank, which is now made of titanium. On the Fireblade SP, the titanium fuel tank features a "hand-finished hairline treatment that leaves portions of the titanium surface exposed," providing the striking look you can see here. % buffered Powered by GliaStudios For the suspension, the Showa (on the Fireblade) and Öhlins (on the Fireblade SP) setups have been retained, with adjustments made to account for the new chassis. Honda says the new suspension settings allow the bike to better handle imperfections on the open road while still maintaining track performance. The updated CBR1000RR-R will also get first dibs on new tech from Honda: a two-stage variable-length intake air-funnel system. To save you the gory engineering details, this basically provides a fuller power band, especially around the midrange. Elsewhere on the power unit, the two-motor throttle-by-wire system has been upgraded with more precise control, which translates into better throttle response and engine braking. Oh, and the cylinder head cover now uses magnesium instead of aluminum - that's another 200g off the outgoing Fireblade. The 2027 update also sees the introduction of the HRC Works Edition to the CBR1000RR-R Fireblade lineup. While the Fireblade and Fireblade SP both strike a balance between on-track performance and off-track comfort, the HRC Works Edition is a proper homologation model for the Superbike World Championship. It features bodywork like winglets and fairings made of carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic for even more weight reduction. The suspension uses Öhlins NPX front forks and a TTX36 rear suspension, while Brembo Hypure Sports components handle braking. Honda will also offer a racing kit to go along with the HRC Works Edition to allow owners to meet race regulations. All things considered, this is Honda honing the Fireblade into an even more lethal track weapon. Fingers crossed the updated CBR1000RR-R arrives sooner rather than later - let Top Gear international know what you think in the comments.
