The Aprilia RSV4 X-GP Sells Out In Just 14 Days

Having announced 30 models of the special €90,000 bike would be produced to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Italian brand competing in MotoGP with the RS-GP model, the Aprilia RSV4 X-GP sells out in just 14 days.

The track-only bike is the most powerful RSV4 produced, with a claimed 235bhp at 13,750rpm and 96.6lb.ft at 11,750rpm from a superbike-spec 1099cc V4, wrapped in carbon wings and aerodynamics lifted from the MotoGP Aprilia RS-GP25, including tail and fork lower wings for the first time on a production motorcycle.

It’s hard to criticise Aprilia for wanting to cash in on their investment in MotoGP, and at least it’s one of the more attractive bikes in the current aerodynamic era. And as sad as it might be to assume most of the X-GP motorcycles are being bought to be locked away as investments, ultimately those with €90,000 (around £77,000) to spend should probably be able to do whatever they want with their money, especially if it helps to also fund models which the rest of us can afford. Personally, I’m more excited by the 2025 Aprilia RS 125 GP replica, but I also think we should all be more open and encouraging to everyone on two wheels if motorcycling is going to continue in the future.

The 2026 Ducati Scrambler Nightshift Will Come in Emerald Green

To mark the new model year, the 2026 Ducati Scrambler Nightshift will come in Emerald Green, harking back to the 1970s, and complimented by black spoked wheels.

Introduced in 2021, the Nightshift sits alongside the Icon, Icon Dark, full Throttle and 1100 Sport Pro in the Scrambler range, priced from £11,945 as a more elegant and stylish two-seater alternative to the £9,495 Icon Dark. For that price, you get features including the stitched seat, a mix of gloss and matt parts, and more.

You also get a shorter front mudguard, flat handlebars, a LED indicators, side number plates, and a USB socket under the seat.

The switch to Emerald Green replaces the current 2025 Nebula Blue, and is the only colour option for the Nightshift, making it easy to tell the year of a model. Personally, I prefer it to the previous colour, which looked quite dull in low light, meaning someone could think you were riding the budget Icon Dark option, and didn’t really stand out even in bright sunshine. The green instantly looks classier in my opinion, although obviously everyone has their own preference.

If you’re looking for an older, and more affordable choice, there are a wide range of Ducati Scramblers for sale on eBay right now. And you can keep up with the latest news on all Ducati motorcycles, here.

Watsonian Sidecars Can Now Fit CCM Spitfire Bobbers

While the company originally known as Clews Competition Machines went into administration in the summer of 2025 after more than 50 years of building motorcycles full of character, that still means there are plenty of owners who may appreciate that Watsonian Sidecars can now fit CCM Spitfire Bobbers.

Powered by a 660cc single-cylinder engine, the Spitfire Bobber as launched in 2019, with 56bhp, 43 lb-ft of torque, and retro styling. So while a sidecar outfit will add some weight, it will suit the looks and the original bike was never about outright speed, anyway.

Watsonian Sidecars Can Now Fit CCM Spitfire BobbersHusqvarna Svartpilen, the modern BSA Gold Star, scooters and more. Riding a sidecar combination certainly stands out and brings a smile to the faces of most people you go past, which can’t always be said when you’re on a sports bike or tourer.

You’ll also need a Spitfire Bobber, which cost from £9,995 new. And will only be getting more collectable while the future of the brand is still in doubt. You can find a handful currently for sale on eBay, with prices between £6,250 and £11,500 for one of the 150 original models built. And you can see other sidecar options via the Watsonian website, or by looking at our previous coverage of motorcycle sidecar outfits for inspiration.

The New £4,999 Voge R625 Arrives In UK Motorcycle Dealers

Still a relatively new brand in the UK, operated by massive Chinese firm Loncin, the new £4,999 Voge R625 arrives in UK dealers with more power and torque, the features you’d expect on a modern motorcycle, and an agressively low price.

The replacement for the A2 licence-friendly Voge R525 which launched in 2022, the new bike is powered by the third evolution of the firm’s parallel twin engine. With an extra 87cc capacity, the Euro5 motor puts out 64.3hp and 58Nm of torque, moving to a 270 degree firing order to reduce vibrations and improve acceleration.

By way of comparison, the 2025 Voge R625 is priced £4,999, up against a variety of bikes from 600 to 800cc. The 67hp Kawasaki Z650 comes in at £6,999, while the 72hp Yamaha MT-07 will cost you £7,700. The Chinese CF Moto 675NK is quoted at 70kW of power, and is on sale for £6,499, and the 46hp parallel twin Royal Enfield Shotgun 650 is £6,899, with the Classic 650 at £6,799 and Bear 650 at £6,749.

All of those bikes have a variety of engine types, power output and features which can make the additional investment worthwhile. But it’s hard not to be impressed that the Voge R625 is available for less than five grand with a two year unlimited warranty (plus £200 OTR charges).

One way that Voge has saved money is offering the R625 in just the single Satin Black colour option. If you’re tempted, you can find your nearest dealer, here.
