The Bajaj Pulsar N250 SS starts with a platform already appreciated for its balance between everyday usability and sporty character. The review highlights accessible handling, suitable both for daily commuting and more dynamic rides.

The motorcycle earns an even stronger verdict thanks to its upgrades. Without changing its personality, the improvements make the N250 SS more complete and competitive among India’s mid-capacity motorcycles, confirming the strength of Bajaj’s project.

Pakistan is increasing local production of electric bicycles and motorcycles, a segment seen as strategic for reducing energy consumption and emissions in urban transport. The expanding supply points to growing interest from companies and buyers.

According to several lawmakers, however, production growth alone will not transform the country’s mobility. High prices, limited charging infrastructure, unreliable electricity and the lack of a stable policy strategy are still slowing the transition to electric vehicles. Without coordinated action, e-bikes will remain a growing niche rather than a mass-market solution.

BMW is bringing the new M 1000 RS to EICMA 2026, a high-performance sportbike focused on a particularly favorable power-to-weight ratio. Its four-cylinder engine produces 215 hp, while the declared kerb weight is 196 kg.

These figures place the motorcycle among the most extreme models in the BMW Motorrad range. The Milan show marks the first official opportunity to see the new RS up close and learn its complete technical specifications.

The seamless gearbox, developed to minimize interruptions in power delivery during MotoGP gear changes, is finding a new application on electric motorcycles. Some projects are experimenting with multi-speed transmissions designed to make motor response smoother.

An electric vehicle does not require a gearbox, but one can keep the motor operating in its most efficient range, improving acceleration and range. The downside is greater complexity, bringing extra weight, cost and components compared with a single-speed solution.

MotoGP.com’s regular “Talking Points” feature focuses on the action and the most significant comments from the weekend. At its centre is one contender’s determination not to give up and to remain in the fight until the final round.

The message is clear: during the closing stages of the season, every point can change the balance. Performance, pressure and race management will be crucial as the paddock heads towards an undecided finale.

Taono Kaiun has floated out a new feeder vessel designed to transport cars. The ship can carry up to 650 vehicles and represents another investment in maritime logistics for the automotive sector.

The float-out marks the completion of an important construction phase, but the vessel must still undergo final outfitting before entering service. Car-carrier feeder ships generally connect regional ports with major terminals, supporting the international distribution of vehicles.

Honda used EICMA 2026 to expand its range with the new CBR500R FOUR, a sportbike bringing the four-cylinder name back into the spotlight. The motorcycle joins the other new products displayed at the brand’s stand.

The announcements also include EV Outlier, an electric-powered proposal, together with a project developed with Onitsuka Tiger. Honda therefore confirms a strategy combining conventional motorcycles, electric research and links with the fashion world.

The crisis facing Germany’s automotive industry is also hitting Schaeffler. The component manufacturer plans to eliminate around 4,700 jobs across Europe, including 2,800 in Germany, as part of a restructuring programme.

The plan includes closing several production sites and merging other operations. Schaeffler cited weak demand, cost pressure and the transition to electric vehicles, which is reshaping the supply chain and putting many German suppliers under growing pressure.

The Australian Grand Prix holds a special place in Formula 1 history. The race debuted in Adelaide in 1985 before moving to Melbourne in 1996. Since then, Albert Park has become one of the championship’s most recognisable settings.

The city circuit, surrounded by greenery and close to the centre, creates a distinctive atmosphere thanks to Australia’s passionate fans. The event often opens the season, combining excitement, technical uncertainty and the appeal of a race held on the other side of the world.

The Honda RN0 is an e-MTB designed to transfer part of the manufacturer’s two-wheel experience to pedal-assisted off-road riding. The first ride focuses on handling, electric assistance management and the overall riding experience.

The test also highlights the differences between an assisted mountain bike and a motorcycle: weight, technique and the relationship with the terrain remain distinct. The RN0 is nevertheless an intriguing exploration of Honda’s move into sporty electric bicycles.
