By Mike Botan Verified| Adventure Rider Verified Back in 2020, we told you about the UK bespoke bike builder Langen Motorcycles. At the time, they were planning to produce a lightweight (265 pounds) two-stroke 249 cc cafe racer putting out a claimed 76 peak hp and 45 lb-ft of max torque. You could have their super sharp scalpel for approximately $37,100. Unlike several vaporware machines, this one actually reached production and was sold to the general public.
By Mike Botan Verified| Adventure Rider Verified If you want a two-stroke bike for hard enduro action, you aren’t just limited to KTM and its variants. Along with Beta, who’s been established in the States for some time, and Fantic, who’s making new inroads, we’ve also got The Spanish Option, aka Rieju. And for 2026, we’ll get the new Rieju MR PRO 300i, with updated fuel-injected engine.
By Mike Botan Verified| Adventure Rider Verified Yamaha continues its now-traditional practice of selling Tenere 700 variants in Europe that you can’t get in the rest of the world—the latest is a new Yamalube special edition machine. But finally the Yamaha Motor Europe customers are getting a taste of their own medicine, because most of them can’t buy the machine either; the only way to get your hands on this bike is to win it.
