Harley- Davidson is bringing back the Super Glide through a limited- edition model that includes styling based on the 1971 FX Super Glide.

With a production limit of 2,500 serialized units, the 2026 Super Glide Special Edition celebrates the 250th anniversary of the United States. The 1971 Super Glide, styled by Willie G. Davidson, combined the Big Twin FL chassis with the narrow XL Sportster fork. It was painted white with red and blue striping with a stretched Bar & Shield graphic on the tank. The 2026 edition honors the 1971 model with similar paint and graphics.

The 2026 Super Glide will be offered only in the U. S. and Canada with an MSRP of $ 15,999.

KEY FEATURES Powered by a Milwaukee- Eight 117 Classic V- Twin engine( 1,923cc) that makes a

claimed 98 hp and 120 lb- ft of torque. It is built on the Softail chassis, featuring a 49mm fork and a rear monoshock hidden below the seat that offers preload adjustment. Brakes include a single 300mm front disc and a 292 mm rear disc.

The bike also comes with selectable ride modes: Road, Sport, and Rain. Tech and rider safety enhancements include tire pressure monitoring, cornering ABS, traction control, and drag torque slip control. All lighting is LED. The instrumentation includes an analog speedometer and a multifunction LCD that can be navigated via the hand control button.

Styling features include bright- laced wheels, a five- gallon teardrop tank, a chrome

console, and a chrome mini ape handlebar. Other bits of chrome include the powertrain trim and covers, the air cleaner cover, exhaust, side covers, rear fender struts, signals, and headlight. The serialized unit number out of 2,500 is on the fuel tank console.

LIBERTY EDITION ENTHUSIAST COLLECTION

Harley- Davidson also announced an expansion to its Liberty Edition Enthusiast Collection, adding the Road Glide alongside the Street Glide, Street Glide 3 Limited, and Heritage Classic. The Liberty Edition models also celebrate the U. S.’ s 250th anniversary and feature Midnight Ember paint and eagle graphics.

Moto Morini has unveiled its new 2027 X- Cape 1200, expanding its adventure lineup with a V- twin- powered ADV model loaded with premium components and riderassistance technology.

Designed in Italy and built around the company’ s Corsa Corta EVO 87− degree V- twin engine, the X- Cape 1200 produces a claimed 129 horsepower and 78.2 lb.-ft. of torque. The liquid- cooled powerplant features dual overhead cams and eight valves and is paired with a suite of Bosch electronics, including a six- axis IMU, cornering ABS, lean- sensitive traction control, cruise control, a bi- directional quickshifter, cornering lights and blind- spot radar.

The motorcycle is built on a tubular steel trellis frame with a removable rear subframe and aluminum cast components. Moto Morini says a low- slung 6.5− gallon fuel tank helps centralize mass and improve handling characteristics both on- and off- road.

The X- Cape 1200 features fully adjustable KYB suspension front and rear, including 48mm inverted forks and a rear shock with progressive linkage. The bike offers 7.1 inches of suspension travel at both ends, a 33− inch seat height and 7.5 inches of ground clearance. Dry weight is listed at 523 pounds.

Adventure- focused equipment includes tubeless spoked wheels measuring 19 inches up front and 17 inches in the rear, fitted with

Pirelli Scorpion Trail III tires. A tire pressure monitoring system comes standard, and riders can disable ABS when venturing off- road.

Braking is handled by a Brembo system featuring monobloc four- piston calipers, dual 320mm front discs, steel- braided brake lines and a radial master cylinder.

The X- Cape 1200 also comes equipped with heated grips, heated rider and passenger seats, full LED lighting and a 7− inch TFT display with integrated navigation, ride- mode controls, TPMS monitoring and USB / USB- C charging ports. It’ s a lot of tech for the buck, especially if you factor in all of the powertrain electronics.

The new X- Cape 1200 arrives as competition in the adventure- touring segment

continues to intensify, giving dealers another value- focused option in the large- displacement ADV category. And judging by our experience with the X- Cape 700 we tested last year, this machine looks every bit the part of a premium ADV bike at a value price.

After more than two decades without a new large- displacement two- stroke, Kawasaki is bringing the category back in a big way.

The manufacturer has unveiled the allnew 2027 KX327 and KX327X, introducing a fuel- injected 327cc two- stroke engine that marks Kawasaki’ s first newly developed two- stroke platform above 250cc since the early 2000s. The move comes as interest in two- stroke off- road motorcycles continues to grow among racers and trail riders seeking lighter weight, simpler maintenance and a more engaging riding experience.

The new models headline Kawasaki’ s 2027 off- road lineup and signal that the company sees renewed opportunity in a segment many believed was headed for extinction at the turn of the century.

“ Who’ d have thought that in 2026 we’ d be ushering in a new era of two- strokes?” industry observers note as manufacturers increasingly revisit the category.

NEW 327CC FUEL- INJECTED TWO-STROKE ENGINE

At the heart of both models is an all- new liquid- cooled, fuel- injected 327cc singlecylinder two- stroke engine designed to deliver

strong low- and mid- range torque while maintaining the lightweight characteristics that have long attracted riders to two- strokes.

Kawasaki says the engine’ s flat torque curve and electronic fuel injection provide smoother, more controllable power delivery than traditional carbureted two- strokes. The system automatically compensates for changes in altitude and weather conditions, eliminating one of the common tuning headaches associated with older designs.

The engine is paired with electric start, hydraulic clutch operation and selectable power modes. Riders can also connect to Kawasaki’ s Rideology smartphone app to access maintenance information and vehicle settings.

The KX327 receives a close- ratio fivespeed transmission aimed at motocross riders, while the cross- country- focused KX327X gets a six- speed gearbox designed for technical trails and woods racing.

BUILT FROM THE KX450 PLATFORM Rather than developing an entirely separate chassis, Kawasaki based the new models on the venerable aluminum perimeter frame used in its KX450 motocross machine.

The motorcycles feature KYB suspension components, including a 48mm inverted fork and Kawasaki’ s Uni- Trak rear suspension system. Nissin braking components handle stopping duties, with a 270mm front rotor and 240mm rear disc.

The KX327X receives several trailoriented upgrades, including a larger 2.2− gallon fuel tank, handguards, skid plate, linkage guard, rear disc guard and side stand.

A SIGN OF CHANGING MARKET DEMAND

The introduction of the KX327 and KX327X reflects a broader resurgence in two- stroke

popularity. While emissions regulations and four- stroke performance advancements pushed many manufacturers away from the category in the early 2000s, modern fuel injection technology has helped bring two- strokes back into consideration for both recreational and competitive off- road riders.

Kawasaki says the new platform combines the simplicity and lightweight feel of traditional two- strokes with modern electronics and improved rideability.

The KX327 will carry an MSRP of $ 9,099, while the KX327X is priced at $ 9,699. Both models are scheduled to arrive in dealerships in late 2026.
