The sportbike scene for 2025 is shaping up to be one of the most exciting in recent years, with top manufacturers rolling out machines that mix raw performance, advanced tech, and distinctive character.

Aprilia’s Tuono 660 Factory is set to deliver razor-sharp handling paired with a lively parallel-twin engine, making it as comfortable attacking a track day as it is carving up twisty backroads.

Yamaha’s nowmobile eagerly awaited YZF-R9 is designed to slot neatly between the friendly, accessible R7 and the high-strung R1, promising middleweight agility while still offering serious thrills at the top end.

KTM is rumored to be refining its RC lineup with lighter frames and sharper aerodynamics, aiming for even more precise handling.

Over in the boutique corner, Bimota continues to stand apart, combining exotic materials with custom-crafted engineering that turns each bike into a collector’s piece as much as a performance tool.

From Italy’s icons, Ducati and MV Agusta, riders can expect the usual drama: sweeping lines, howling exhaust notes, and electronics packages that can make even a casual ride feel like a masterclass in control.

This year, sportbikes aren’t just chasing lap records — they’re being built to offer something deeply personal, whether you’re a weekend canyon carver or a seasoned racer. For many, 2025 will be the year of finding that one machine that feels like it was designed with them in mind.
