Triumph has released a teaser video for what looks like the new Boneville. The video, which runs for 30-seconds long shows a mixture of design sketches, drawings,  shots of classic Bonnevilles, as well as glimpses of the new bike. From what we can see, it looks like the Triumph Bonneville is going to be offered in more than one version – standard, scrambler, and what appears to be a cafe racer.

While no technical details have been disclosed, rumour has it that the new Bonnie will be powered by a liquid-cooled 1,100cc mill. The only two things confirmed as of now, from what we have seen in the teaser is that there is definitely a new Bonneville, and it is going to be revealed on the 28th. That said, let us stay tuned and be hopeful that more details of the new Triumph Bonneville will surface within the next couple of weeks.

Can-Am has announced that it will be adding two new models to its product range, called the Can-Am Spyder F3-T and Spyder F3 Limited. According to the company, both new models will feature built-in panniers and a four-speaker audio system as standard feature, as well as Can-Am’s UFit system, which enables riders to modify the position of the footpegs and handlebars for the ideal fit.
Besides the features mentioned above, it is said that the F3 Limited will come with additional goodies such as heated grips, rider foot-boards, chrome wheels and trim and a suede comfort pillion seat. Powered by the same 1330cc three-cylinder Rotax engine used in the Spyder models we have at the moment, the models will be kicking out a maximum output of 115bhp and 130Nm of peak torque.
