So, Eicma 2023 – a cacophony of novelties, surprises, and dreams on two wheels. We've seen the most anticipated, the most beautiful, and the ones you might've missed. But what about the bikes we were waiting for, only to find an empty space in the showroom? Here's the lowdown on the great absentees stealing the spotlight. **Ducati Desmo MX: The Pachyderm in the Room** Ducati, the grand conductor of Eicma's anticipation orchestra, had us all on the edge, expecting the imminent debut of the 450 Cross – fresh off the hands of Tony Cairoli and Alessandro Lupino. We wanted a sneak peek, maybe not the Desmo engine details, but at least a glimpse of the bike's form. Alas, a postponed debut, possibly because the bike is still evolving. The waiting game continues. **Triumph MX2: All Dressed Up with Nowhere to Go** Triumph, just like Ducati, had a showstopper in its motocross lineup. Eicma could have been the grand stage, but Triumph and KTM played the absentee card, represen

  Alright, buckle up and brace yourselves for the clash of the Titans, the battle royale between Asia and Europe in the motorcycle world. It's like watching Godzilla go head-to-head with King Kong, only this time it's about bikes, not beasts. So, there we were at EICMA 2023, the ground zero for all things two-wheeled. The theme of the day? Globalization and how the motorcycle market is shaping up post-pandemic. But let's cut to the chase – it's all about the showdown between the mighty Asia and the rest of the globe. Now, if you thought this was a fair fight, think again. It's like a game of poker where Asia is holding all the aces, and the rest are struggling to keep up. Why? Well, blame it on tariffs and those pesky pollution regulations. The EICMA conference saw top-tier European managers discussing how to deal with this David-and-Goliath situation. The numbers speak for themselves. The Asian invasion at EICMA 2023 was unlike anything we've seen before. It wa

Jeeps used to be cool. They were big, brash, and brawny, with names like Wagoneer, Cherokee, and Wrangler. They were the sort of cars you’d drive across the desert with a shotgun on the passenger seat and a cigar in your mouth. But then something went wrong. Jeeps became boring. They started making cars like the Compass and the Patriot, which looked like they’d been designed by a committee of accountants. And the Renegade, which was supposed to be funky and fun, but was really just a Fiat 500X with a Jeep badge. So when I heard that Jeep had made a new car called the Avenger, I wasn’t very excited. And when I heard that it was an electric car, I was even less excited. And when I heard that it was based on a Fiat, built in Poland, and not even sold in America, I was ready to write it off as a complete waste of time. But then something strange happened. The Avenger won the European Car of the Year award for 2023. That’s right, a Jeep beat all the fancy German and French cars to win the m

Hold on to your seats, folks, because Subaru's just dropped a bombshell at the Japan Mobility Show, and it's got all the sci-fi feels. Introducing the Sport Mobility Concept, a jaw-dropping coupe that's channeling some serious cyberpunk vibes, reminiscent of the legendary SVX from back in the day. This ain't your run-of-the-mill ride, no sir. It's a swoopy, futuristic wonder that's here to shake things up. Now, picture this: it's like an intergalactic spaceship and a mean street machine had a baby. You've got those slender headlights, that chunky body, and that wide stance that's ready to take on any terrain. It's a bit of a rebel, not fitting into any conventional category. Is it a coupe? Is it a crossover? Heck, does it even have wheels, or does it transform and take off into the skies? You'd be forgiven for wondering, given the Air Mobility Concept that accompanied it, flaunting six rotor blades like something straight out of a sci-fi flic

Flashback to 16 years ago, when Nissan sent shockwaves through the automotive world with the GT-R R35. Fast forward to today's Japan Mobility Show, where Nissan has unveiled a mind-bending concept that's making petrolheads weak in the knees. Say hello to the Hyper Force, an all-electric marvel oozing with a staggering 1,341 horsepower and the kind of style that'll make your eyeballs do a double take. Now, let's get real. Nissan's playing it coy, not dropping the explicit R36 bomb. But come on, those sleek lines and those four round taillights? It's like they've taken the GT-R's DNA and sent it to the future, all gussied up and ready to dominate. And that white-and-red light show upfront? It's like a secret message saying, "Hey, this is your beloved GT-R, but on some serious steroids." Hold onto your hats, folks, 'cause this bad boy means business. Canards and vents up front, a rear wing that could double as an aircraft carrier deck, and

Picture this, petrolheads: Mazda's back in the game with a sensational unveil at the Japan Mobility Show. It's the Mazda Iconic SP concept, and it's got a trick up its sleeve that'll have the automotive world on the edge of their seats. Brace yourselves for the comeback of the rotary engine, a feature we've been pining for since the dinosaurs roamed the Earth or, well, since 2012. The Iconic SP struts its stuff, taking design cues from Mazda's Vision Study of yesteryear, but it's no mere carbon copy. This fixed-roof speed demon is a tad larger than the current MX-5 Miata, hinting at a worthy successor to the fabled RX-7 lineage. But here's the twist: the two-rotor powerhouse isn't just propelling the wheels; it's juicing up a mystery battery, which then pumps out an impressive 365 horsepower. It's a techno-wizardry of sorts, capable of running on everything from hydrogen to renewable fuel, and you can even plug it into your household socket.

In a world where surprises are as rare as a sunny day in England, Toyota has thrown us a curveball with its electric concepts. Among them, the Sports EV stole the spotlight, and now, from the depths of the Japan Mobility Show, emerges its evolution, the FT-Se. This beast proudly wears the Gazoo Racing badge and roars with the ferocity of a mid-engine speed demon. Picture this: it's still dressed in that eye-catching orange coat with a touch of black on the roof, but it's got a fresh look, accommodating monster air intakes and sleek door mirrors. Is it a near-production version of the original concept? Not so fast, my friends. Toyota's playing coy, keeping the tech specs under wraps. While the earlier one boasted a removable targa top, this new one's all fixed up, a coupe with a mean, unyielding roof featuring dual glass sections. Oh, but hold your breath, folks. The plot thickens. Glorious snapshots reveal this beauty on a racetrack, donning a mammoth fixed wing. Toyota
