2020 Ducati Multistrada 1260 GT To Feature Radar Cruise Control

Ducati will unveil a new Multistrada 1260 GT later this year, a higher-specification GT variant which will have Ducati's latest advanced rider assistance system, in the form of radar-assisted cruise control. The Multistrada 1260 GT will be based on the current Ducati Multistrada 1260, and will likely have the same specifications and dimensions, and will not have any mechanical updates as such. In addition to touring accessories, the Ducati Multistrada 1260 GT will feature the latest radar-assisted cruise control system. We expect the new Multistrada 1260 GT to be unveiled later this year, possibly at the EICMA show in Milan, and to be introduced as a 2020 model.

The rear radar will warn the rider of approaching vehicles as well as point out vehicles in the 'blind spot'

Ducati has been working on advanced rider assistance systems (ARAS) since 2016, and a radar-based warning system has already been announced by the Italian brand. The rear radar will be able to identify and point out vehicles present in the rider's 'blind spot' or even traffic approaching at high speed from behind. Ducati is working on several other hi-tech safety systems as part of the brand's strategy called "Safety Road Map 2025" under which several new advanced rider assistance systems will be introduced, including the radar-based cruise control system.

The new radar-based cruise control will be used in the L-twin format, and not the upcoming V4-engine Multistrada that Ducati is already working on. The 1260GT will be a more touring-focussed version of the current Ducati Multistrada 1260, and we expect the new model to be introduced in India as well, possibly sometime in mid-2020.

Brixton 1200 To Rival Triumph Bonneville T120

A 1200 cc modern classic with similar design lines as Triumph's iconic Bonneville series, has reportedly been cleared for production. The bike was showcased as a concept at last year's EICMA motorcycle show, and from the looks of it, this is a model developed in China with the Triumph Bonneville T120 in its sights. The Brixton brand though is part of Austria's KSR Group, which imports bikes from several Chinese manufacturers, including CF Moto. And while the new Bonneville rival will be manufactured in China, the design and engineering has been created at KSR's design centre in Krups, Austria.

Zongshen Cyclone RX6 Based On Norton 650 Nearing Completion

Image
While there still doesn't seem to be a buyer for iconic British brand Norton Motorcycles which went into administration in January this year, the firm's 650 cc parallel-twin seems to be finding life in China. While Norton apparently sold off the engine rights of its 961 engine to China's Jinglang just before the brand went into administration, the deal for the 650 cc engine was finalized way back in 2017 with Chinese giant Zongshen. The 650 cc parallel-twin engine was due to be used in Norton's Atlas and Superlight models, but now it looks like that engine platform will make its debut in a Zongshen motorcycle, called the Cyclone R6.
