KTM Sells MV Agusta Back to the Sardarov Family

Transaction in the “mid double-digit million” euro range MV Agusta is returning to the control of a wealthy family that had previously owned the Italian brand, shortly after it had been purchased by a larger motorcycle company. If that sounds familiar, it’s what happened when the Castiglioni family regained full ownership of MV Agusta from Harley-Davidson back in 2010, after the American company had purchased it from the family in 2008. Fast forward to 2025 and history repeats itself, this time with the Sardarov family regaining 100% control of MV Agusta after KTM exercised its option to gain a majority stake just a year prior.

When is a 500 Not a 500? – Question of the Day

When it's a 451, d'uh. In our last Question of the Day, we asked about some of the more… questionable names given to motorcycles (Hondas seemed to come up fairly often in the replies, which is both interesting and somehow not surprising.) I mentioned how it’s generally safer for a manufacturer to stick to a combination of letters and numbers. While that’s generally true, apart from the occasionally comical practice of tackling on another “R” to make a model sound sportier ( looking at you again, Honda), it does bring the focus onto yet another common pet peeve: motorcycles with misleading numbers in the name.

2025 Harley-Davidson Carry-Over Models Announced

What Harley announced… and what it didn’t Harley-Davidson announced its first batch of models returning for 2025 (well, technically second batch, if you include the returning police bikes confirmed in December, so, let’s say the first batch of consumer models). As usual, the first bikes to be announced are carry-over models, those returning with new color options and pricing adjustments, but no significant mechanical changes. These include the Road Glide, Street Glide, and Road King Special baggers, plus the Road Glide 3, Freewheeler, and Tri Glide Ultra trikes.
