The Bikes of Intermot 2016

In Cologne, Germany, the Intermot motorcycle show is about to wrap up. We?ve been deluged with press releases and images all week, so we?ve picked out the four new launches that tickled our fancies the most?and will be competing for your dollars in 2017.
BMW R nineT Racer and Pure The inevitable has happened: the runaway success of the R nineT has spawned new models. We?ve already covered the Scrambler, so here are the new café racer and stripped down variants.
The engine now meets the Euro 4 spec, there?s a stainless steel single-muffler exhaust hanging on the left, and the frame is the same version used on the Scrambler. Wheels are 17 inches front and back, the forks are conventional rather than USD, and fuel tanks are steel rather than aluminum. ABS is standard, but traction control becomes a factory-fit option. Pricing should be competitive, making the R nineT even more appealing to riders who aren?t focused on doodads and gizmos. The ?Pure? will be the new base model, available in Catalano Grey, but we?ll take the ?Racer? (top)?it?s hard to resist the vintage BMW motorsport-themed graphics and 1970s-style half-fairing.
New Triumph T100s and Street Cup Triumph is on fire at the moment. Twelve months ago, we were in London for the launch of the new Bonneville range. Now we have the first range expansions, with the retro-styled T100 Bonneville and T100 Black (above), and the sportier Street Cup (below). All feature the 900cc engine seen in the Street Twin.
The T10...
