Some pretty sweet small and midsize rides lead the latest lean but mean crop of tantalizing two-wheelers.The thirst for smaller-displacement bikes has arguably never been greater, and what a banner week it was for rides that can slake it.With the exception of one rad-looking Ducati ADV, every fully gas-powered moto we covered has an engine size of 649cc or less, including four bikes packing 420cc or less.As more new riders saddle up and petrol prices continue to rise, these smaller wonders are more appealing than ever, and some of this week's big-name releases are particularly compelling.The most noteworthy is BMW's brand-new F 450 R, a highly approachable, affordable naked street bike sure to make rivals sweat.However, we are also intrigued by Triumph's updated TF 250-X, a lightweight off-roading champ that just keeps getting better, and Kawasaki's latest Ninja 650, which boasts a number of new rider-friendly tweaks.Catch up on everything you might have missed below.Close-up of a motorcycle’s engine, rear wheel, kickstand, and partial hard case, parked on a concrete surface beside water.Ducati Multistrada V4 S Grand TourClose-up of a black motorcycle’s engine, exhaust system, and rear wheel showing suspension and mechanical components; blurred background with reddish-orange light adds dramatic contrast.2027 BMW F 450 RGreen Kawasaki Ninja 650 sport motorcycle side view with black fairings and silver exhaust.2027 Kawasaki Ninja 650Close-up of a motorcycle engine and chrome exhaust pipe, featuring part of the number 41 on a white and red plate, set against a gradient orange background.Tamarit Motorcycles "Miura" Triumph Scrambler 400 XCClose-up showing the front wheel and suspension of a Triumph dirt bike with yellow and black decals, positioned on a sandy motocross track; background is blurred.2027 Triumph TF 250-XBlack motorcycle side close-up featuring a gold “20” badge, exposed engine components, metal frame, and front wheel with visible brake caliper; background is out of focus.Zero Motorcycles SR/F Limited EditionClose-up of a modern motorcycle’s front wheel and engine, showing a large disc brake with a red caliper, a thick tire marked CUXIN GY510, and a metallic gray body with VO6 branding and red accents.Voge CU-X Hybrid ConceptBlack Prike Scrambler PXS 125 motorcycle in close-up side view, featuring the fuel tank, visible engine components, frame, and front wheel against a solid green background.Prike PXS 125 ScramblerAbout the Author:Now managing editor, Steve has served in a variety of roles with GP since 2019.
