    Domestic superbike stars to race for points during the Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix weekend in October for the first time
    The 2026 Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix at Phillip Island is shaping up as an even bigger event, with the Penrite Australian Superbike Championship, presented by Pirelli, set to join the on track action in a move that lifts the intensity across the entire weekend.
    With ASBK on the verge of switching to a landmark summer calendar, the timing has opened the door for the domestic championship to kickstart its 2026 to 2027 season alongside the MotoGP, Moto2 and Moto3 FIM Grand Prix World Championship classes at the famed Victorian circuit from 23 to 25 October 2026. Crucially, this is not an exhibition appearance, with official Australian Superbike Championship points on the line at the Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix for the first time, ensuring the racing will be fought with the full urgency of a season opener in a new era for ASBK.
    Australian Grand Prix Corporation CEO Travis Auld said the addition raises the stakes and highlights the strength of the local pipeline. “Adding in a points-scoring Australian Superbikes Championship round to the Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix will add another layer of intensity and excitement, showcasing the depth of talent coming through the domestic ranks, including familiar faces such as Jacob Roulstone.”
    That depth has been on full display at Phillip Island already this year. Round one of the 2026 Penrite ASBK Championship, presented by Pirelli was recently held at the circuit, delivering jaw dropping racing as a new wave of young guns including Harrison Voight, former Moto3 rider Jacob Roulstone, Cameron Dunker and Jonathan Nahlous took the fight directly to established front runners Josh Waters, two time Moto2 race winner Anthony West and Mike Jones.
    The connection between Australian Superbike racing and the world stage has long been clear, and the nation’s Grand Prix greats such as Wayne Gardner, Kevin Magee, Mick Doohan, Daryl Beattie and Chris Vermeulen all cut their teeth in ASBK, where the level has traditionally been high and wins are hard earned. More recently, Australia’s current Grand Prix riders Jack Miller, Senna Agius and Joel Kelso have all competed in the ASBK Championship, using the domestic series as part of their pathway to world championship racing.
    For Auld, the announcement also adds significance to what is expected to be a landmark event at a venue synonymous with MotoGP in this country. “This is an exciting announcement for the 2026 event, which we intend to make a fitting farewell to Phillip Island after being an incredible home for MotoGP in Australia for the last 30 years.”
    Motorcycling Australia CEO Peter Doyle welcomed the move, linking it to the history of the event and the strength of the modern ASBK paddock. “I have fond memories of the very first Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix in 1989 and the thrilling Australian Superbike races, so it is brilliant news the ASBK Championship, which is at an extremely professional level these days, is headed to Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix with championship points on the line.”
    Doyle expects the shift to a summer aligned calendar and the chance to start the season on the Grand Prix stage will bring out the best in every garage. “Teams and riders will leave no stone unturned to start the new summer ASBK calendar in the best possible fashion, and spectators are going to be amazed in just how fast ASBK Superbikes lap the Phillip Island circuit.” He also acknowledged the opportunity to present Australia’s top domestic talent to the biggest possible audience. “I’d like to thank the Australian Grand Prix Corporation for this opportunity to showcase Australia’s best riders under the international spotlight.”

    Fans can now register for pre-sale interest, with an auction for 500 limited-edition MotoGP plates also flagged
    Ticket interest registration is now open for the 2027 MotoGP™ Grand Prix of Australia on the Adelaide Street Circuit, with the South Australian Government launching a new website, motogpadl.com.au, to collect expressions of interest across general admission, grandstand and hospitality packages.
    Premier Peter Malinauskas framed the registration process as an early step for locals wanting to secure access when sales begin. “And now South Australians have their chance to be there from the start,” he said. “Registering interest in tickets is the first step in what will be a huge moment for our state as international motorsport returns to the streets of Adelaide.”
    The Government says those who register will be the first to know when tickets go on sale, as well as receiving other event updates. New MotoGP Adelaide social media channels have also been launched on Instagram and Facebook to support event promotion.

    Malinauskas said the event is expected to bring visitors and spending into the city. “MotoGP™ on the Adelaide Street Circuit will deliver enormous economic benefits for South Australia – filling our hotels, restaurants, bars and businesses with visitors from across Australia and around the world.”
    South Australia secured the MotoGP™ Grand Prix of Australia from Victoria last month, marking the return of international racing to the original Adelaide Grand Prix Street Circuit. The Government has said the event will be the first time a MotoGP-era event has been held on a downtown circuit, with “uncompromised modern day safety measures”.
    In outlining the expected benefits, the Government pointed to figures from 2025, saying global exposure combined with tourism and hospitality delivered an average $217m (€130m) economic impact to local economies where MotoGP™ Grand Prix events were held. It also cited MotoGP’s global fanbase of more than 630 million, total attendance of 3.6 million across races in 2025, and TV audiences up 9 per cent over the past year.
    Malinauskas also linked the Adelaide race to the city’s Formula 1 history, saying, “South Australians have fond memories and a sense of pride about the Formula 1 Grand Prix and we’re aiming to capture that spirit when MotoGP™ moves to Adelaide next year.”
    Limited-edition plates flagged
    Alongside the ticket registration push, the Government has also announced a proposed limited-edition release of 500 Adelaide MotoGP Grand Prix number plates to commemorate the first race in 2027, if the Malinauskas Labor Government is re-elected. The black plates would be auctioned, and are described as a nod to the original 199 black Adelaide Grand Prix plates released in 1985.
    Adelaide Grand Prix number plate ‘1’ fetched $600,000 at auction in 2020 Malinauskas said: “South Australians remember the pride of the original Adelaide Grand Prix – and these limited-edition MotoGP plates will be another piece of history South Australians will be racing to get their hands on.” He added, “Just like the original Grand Prix plates from the 1980s, these MotoGP plates will become collector’s items – a lasting reminder of the moment international racing returned to the streets of Adelaide.”
    He also reiterated the Government’s view of the broader impact of the event. “More importantly, MotoGP will deliver millions of dollars in economic benefit for our state, filling hotels, restaurants and venues while showcasing Adelaide to hundreds of millions of fans around the world.”

    Triumph has confirmed key updates to the Daytona 660 for 2026, adding adjustable Showa front forks, an up/down quickshifter as standard equipment, and Metzeler M9RR Supersport rubber across both LAMS and full-power variants. Both are available from Triumph dealers now from $15,500 rideaway.
    The upgrades build on the Daytona 660’s racing program, which has accumulated championship results in Italy’s CIV Sportbike class, Germany’s IDM Sportbike class, and the UK’s Pirelli National Sportbike Championship since the model’s 2024 debut. For 2026, the Daytona will also contest the new World Sportbike Championship via PHR Performance and CM Triumph Factory Racing.

    The new Showa 41mm upside-down big piston Separate Function Forks are adjustable for compression and rebound damping, a specification uncommon in the middleweight class. Rear suspension is handled by a Showa unit with preload adjustment.
    Triumph Shift Assist, previously an optional extra, is now standard equipment, enabling clutchless up and downshifts. The Metzeler M9RR Supersport tyre replaces the previous fitment on both variants. A new clear-anodised aluminium brake pedal rounds out the specification changes.
    The 660cc triple engine carries over unchanged. Full power output is 70kW at 11,250rpm and 69Nm at 8250rpm, with a 12,650rpm redline. The LAMS variant produces 42kW at 6750rpm and 62Nm at 6250rpm.
    Both variants run three riding modes (Sport, Road and Rain), switchable traction control, a slip-and-assist clutch, ride-by-wire throttle, a colour TFT instrument display, and full LED lighting. Seat height is 810mm, with an optional 785mm low seat available as an accessory.

    Three colour schemes are offered for 2026: Sapphire Black (standard), Aluminium Silver and Sapphire Black, and Cosmic Yellow and Sapphire Black. All feature Diablo Red accents. Service intervals remain at 10,000 miles, and the bike is covered by a two-year unlimited-mileage warranty.
    The 2026 Triumph Daytona 660 in LAMS and full-power variants is available from Triumph dealers now from $15,500 rideaway.

    New parallel twin cruiser incoming soon
    CFMoto hasn’t been in the cruiser game for long – its 450CL-C and 450CL-C Bobber only launched in 2024 – but it’s already on the verge of launching a next-generation model in the form of this: the 550CL-C.
    Revealed ahead of its launch by its inclusion in Chinese type-approval documentation, the 550CL-C is, as the name suggests, a larger-capacity development of the 450CL-C, offering more performance but also a new look.
    The engine is a 526cc parallel twin that’s clearly a development of the existing 450CL-C’s 449cc unit. Its bore is increased from 72mm to 74mm, revealed by the new engine’s codename: 274MR-A. That’s 2 for two cylinders, 74 for the 74mm bore. From that we can deduce that the stroke must have increased from the 55.2mm of the 450CL-C to 61.2mm for the 550CL-C to achieve that 526cc total capacity. It’s a substantial stroke increase, and of course means that there’s a new crankshaft as well as new pistons. The longer stroke also points to a focus on low-end torque, as befits a cruiser.
    Peak power and top speed are the only performance figures included in the type-approval. The power number for the 550CL-C is 39kW, which is a substantial 30% increase on the 450CL-C’s 30kW, exceeding the 17% hike in capacity and pointing to an engine in a higher state of tune. The torque increase is likely to be more aligned with the engine’s extra capacity, so should go from the current model’s 42Nm to somewhere around 50Nm. Top speed, according to the document, is  165km/h, up from 153km/h for the 450 version.
    The bike pictured here is fitted with a normal six-speed transmission, but in China CFMoto already offers the 450CL-C with an automated manual box, using either a full-auto mode or a pushbutton manual setting, so that’s also likely to be an option for the 550CL-C.
    While the chassis is generally similar to the 450CL-C, the 550CL-C, it features a longer, aluminium swingarm instead of the current bike’s steel version. The wheelbase grows from 1485mm to 1520mm as a result, while the bike’s weight is up from 181kg to 195kg. The longer wheelbase is largely hidden by stubbier rear bodywork that results in the whole bike being just 7mm longer than the 450, at 2212mm instead of 2205mm, while the wheels, tyres and forks are carried over from the current bike.
    The styling changes are substantial, including a new headlight, a redesigned fuel tank with knee pads on the sides, a new seat and that redesigned, shorter tail section. Only elements like the front mudguard and the circular TFT instrument panel are carried over from the current 450CL-C to the new machine.
    The bike’s appearance in type-approval documents suggest its official launch isn’t far off, and the 550CL-C is likely to become a fulltime part of CFMoto’s range in 2027.

    Zongshen patent shows planned three-wheeler
    Tilting three-wheelers aren’t a new idea. As well as modern machines like the Piaggio MP3, Yamaha Niken with two front wheels and one at the back, there were older versions like the BSA Ariel 3 of 1970 with two rear wheels and an engine on a platform that remained horizontal as the front section of the bike leant into corners. That short-lived machine is widely blamed for BSA’s demise in 1973 but formed the basis of a successful line of 1980s Hondas including the Gyro that remains available to this day.
    Despite that long history, we haven’t seen a tilting trike quite like the one that’s just emerged in a new patent application from Chinese brand Zongshen, best known for its Cyclone range of motorcycles.

    This patent illustrates a leaning three-wheeler with two back wheels and one front, based on a conventional motorcycle frame but with two swingarms instead of one, each carrying its own wheel.
    Power from the engine goes to a differential mounted between the two swingarm pivots, taking drive to bevel gears, concentric with those swingarm pivots, and shaft drives to the back wheels. But the idea starts to get weirder with the suspension setup, which uses three coil-over shock absorbers to give the bike two distinct riding modes. In one mode, it’s a non-leaning trike, not unlike the sort of thing Harley-Davidson makes, or perhaps one of those famously-lethal three-wheeled predecessors of modern ATVs. In the second mode, it leans through corners like a motorcycle.
    How? The trick is that the middle of the three rear suspension units is an air shock that can be raised and lowered at the touch of a button, while the outer pair of coil-overs have pivoting linkages between their lower ends and the swingarms.

    When the centre shock is set at its lowest, dropping the back of the bike, the other two shocks settle onto bumpers on the top of the swingarms. That fixes the bike in a non-tilting mode for low-speed riding or parking. It still has suspension, but it can’t lean.
    By extending the rear shock, which is attached to the two swingarms via linkages on each side, each with two universal joints, the back of the bike rises and the side-mounted shocks are lifted away from the bumpers on top of the swingarms. In this state, the middle air shock carries all the weight of the back of the bike and the swingarms can freely move independently, allowing the whole machine to lean into corners. The idea is to have stability at low speed, but also to let the bike lean into corners at high speed so it doesn’t suffer the sort of tip-over risk associated with non-leaning trikes.
    It’s undoubtedly a clever solution, but whether there’s a market for such a machine that isn’t already catered for by the existing tilting three-wheelers with two front wheels and one at the rear remains to be seen.

    Middle East conflict prompts Lusail calendar shift with Portimão and Valencia also reshuffled
    MotoGP has postponed the 2026 Qatar Grand Prix, shifting the Lusail event from its original April slot to 8 November amid what the championship described as the ongoing geopolitical situation in the Middle East.
    The series said the change was made in coordination with the Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM), the event promoter and local Qatari authorities, with rider, team and spectator safety cited as the primary factor. MotoGP added that the move is intended to protect the “safety, wellbeing, and highest‑quality delivery” of the round for all involved.
    With Qatar now set to run late in the year, MotoGP has also adjusted the final phase of the 2026 calendar following what it called extensive scenario planning and schedule analysis.
    Under the updated timetable, the Portuguese Grand Prix at Portimão will move to 22 November, while the season finale in Valencia has been pushed back to 29 November. MotoGP said all other rounds on the 2026 MotoGP World Championship calendar remain unchanged.

    Carmelo Ezpeleta, CEO of MotoGP
    “This decision was taken with great care and in full coordination with our partners in Qatar and across the paddock. Our priority is always the safety and wellbeing of everyone involved in MotoGP, as well as ensuring that every Grand Prix is delivered to the highest possible standard. We also recognise the importance of providing clarity for our fans as early as possible and ticket holders will be given the opportunity to rollover their tickets to the next event.
    “I would also like to thank our partners in Portimão and Valencia for their collaboration and flexibility in helping us deliver a smooth transition to the revised calendar. We are confident that the updated schedule will allow us to preserve the quality of the championship while offering fans an exceptional season of racing.”
    Abdulrahman bin Abdullatif Al Mannai, President of the Qatar Motor & Motorcycle Federation and Lusail International Circuit (LIC)
    “The Qatar Motor and Motorcycle Federation (QMMF) and Lusail International Circuit (LIC) respect and support the decision of the MotoGP Sport and Entertainment Group to postpone the MotoGP™ Qatar Airways Grand Prix of Qatar to November 6–8, 2026. We sincerely thank our fans, teams and partners for their understanding and ongoing support, and we look forward to welcoming everyone back to Lusail International Circuit.”
    Jorge Viegas, President of the FIM
    “The FIM fully supports the decision to reschedule the Qatar Grand Prix. Considering the current geopolitical situation, safeguarding our riders, teams, officials, and fans must always come first. We are confident that the updated calendar ensures that the event in Qatar can be delivered in the safest and most professional conditions.”
