The new era for Australian enduro racing has begun. Formerly known as the Australian Off-Road Championship (AORC), the rebrand to the Australian Enduro Championship (AusEnduro) was announced by Motorcycling Australia (MA) last December as part of a revitalisation of the series for 2025, the first round of which was held at Kempsey in March. Along with a new name, AusEnduro introduces a focus on aligning the local point-scoring system with global enduro championships. To that end, an outright points table has been established, where riders from E1, E2 and E3 categories will all battle it out for the title of ‘Pro Enduro Champion’ at every round and across the 2025 championship. Another key change is the introduction of a ‘Sportsman’ class that will allow clubman riders to compete at a…

The 2025 FIM Supersport World Championship (WorldSSP) kicked off in Australia on 21-23 February. With two of last year’s championship top three now racing in other classes, it virtually guarantees we’ll see a new champion in 2025. A hint of who that champion might be was revealed at the Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit. The 24-rider grid for the WorldSSP season opener would have to contend with sweltering conditions on the second day and strong winds on the third, as well as flag-to-flag rules, with a mid-race tyre change mandated to combat potential tyre failure. TEAM AND RIDER CHANGES With last year’s WorldSSP Champion, Adrian Huertas, moving to Moto2, and third-placed Yari Montella in WorldSBK this year, it’s opened the door for last year’s runner-up, Stefano Manzi (Pata Yamaha Ten…

Honda’s iconic Goldwing turns 50 this year. Its evolution over the past five decades has seen the original 999cc flat four grow to an 1833cc flat six, and what started as a naked is now a full dresser tourer with some of the most advanced tech available on two wheels. To mark the 50th Anniversary of the Goldwing, Honda Australia has announced details of a special edition that’ll be available on both the standard Goldwing “bagger” and full-dresser Goldwing Tour Premium locally. 50TH ANNIVERSARY FEATURES The 50th Anniversary Goldwing is primarily a cosmetic package, adding special badging and identification, along with new colour schemes. There are no changes to the 1833cc engine, seven-speed DCT, suspension, brakes or rider-assistance tech, but wireless compatibility for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto does make…

Just days after winning their first AMA Supercross race in the USA, Triumph Motorcycles announced they’d be entering Australian motocross this year. A three-rider team will contest the 2025 Penrite ProMX Championship presented by AMX Superstores (ProMX) across MX1 and MX2 categories. Under the banner of ‘Winner Triumph Racing Australia Team’, Victorian-based Winner Motorcycles makes the move from KTM to Triumph, with key support from Peter Stevens Motorcycles and Triumph Motorcycles Australia. “We welcome the Winner Motorcycles Racing program, working with Peter Stevens Motorcycles, into the Triumph Motorcycles Australia network,” said Triumph Motorcycles Australia Brand Manager, Jono Kent. “It’s exciting to have a team so dedicated to the off-road scene represent our exciting new range of motocross motorcycles. “We wish Winner Triumph Racing Australia Team the best of luck for…

Ahead of its local release, Honda Australia have revealed details and pricing for the 2025 CB1000 Hornet SP. The biggest and most powerful naked in Honda’s ‘Street’ lineup, the CB1000 Hornet SP combines a CBR1000RR-based engine with premium chassis components and a raft of rider-assistance technologies. At the heart of the MY25 CB1000 Hornet SP is a 1,000cc four-cylinder engine. Based on the inline four in the CBR1000RR Fireblade, this liquid-cooled, DOHC unit features 11.7:1 compression, PGM electronic fuel injection and ride-by-wire throttle. Maximum outputs of 115.6kW @11,000rpm and 107Nm @9,000rpm are marginally down on the peaks delivered by the Fireblade, which is offered here in CBR1000RR-R SP form. The engine is matched to a six-speed transmission with revised gear ratios to improve acceleration. A slipper clutch and adjustable quickshifter…

The opening round of the 2025 Motul FIM Superbike World Championship (WorldSBK) brought plenty of action and drama to the Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit, as well as the first chance to see series debutants, new teams and the return of a marque that tasted victory in Australia more than two decades ago. The opening round also brought a return of the flag-to-fag format, with a mid-race tyre change mandated due to concerns over excess tyre wear. The final factor impacting the season opener was heat, with sweltering conditions on the second day of the 21-23 February event proving to be a challenge for all involved. TEAM AND RIDER CHANGES All the factory squads brought unchanged rider lineups into the 2025 season, but there was a new factory team, with…
