Ducati is launching the XDiavel now in California

VISORDOWN’S editorial diary has never looked so packed with new bike launches – every manufacturer seems to have chosen January and Februay to debut its 2016 models.


So we thought we’d give you a run-down of what’s on the way. So far this year we’ve already seen the launch of the new Kawasaki ZX-10R, Triumph Speed Triple R and MV Agusta Brutale 800.


Right now the editor is in San Diego, California, for the launch ride of the Ducati XDiavel, with a review coming soon.


This weekend sees the launch of the Yamaha XSR900 in Fuerteventura as well as our first ride of the Indian Scout Sixty.


And in February we’ve got the Ducati Scramber Sixty2 launch in Barcelona on the 12th; the Triumph Tiger Explorer and Montessa 4Ride launch, both on the 16th; the Yamaha MT-03, FJR1300 and 2016 traction-control equipped MT-09 on the week starting the 22nd; the Honda CBR500R and CB500F on the 23rd and the Suzuki SV650 on the 29th .
