Honda, Ducati, and Benda announce new vehicle and marine releases

Several major manufacturers in the automotive and marine sectors have announced new product releases and updates.

Honda has introduced the 2027 NT1100 touring motorcycle for the European market. While the 1,084cc engine remains unchanged, the update features a new color lineup including Mat Ballistic Black Metallic and Mat Beta Silver Metallic. The model continues to offer both manual and Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) options.

To celebrate its centenary, Ducati has collaborated with SACS Marine and Pirelli to unveil the Pirelli 44 Ducati Edition. This limited-run maxi-RIB, featuring 1,500 hp from three Mercury Racing engines, will have only 26 units produced. The design incorporates elements from the Superleggera V4 Centenario and MotoGP aesthetics.

Chinese manufacturer Benda is launching the Rock 707 cruiser in Europe this September. The 692cc V-twin model features advanced technology, including a dual-chamber adaptive air suspension system that adjusts seat height by 30mm and an electronic clutch system that allows for gear changes without a manual clutch lever.
