EICMA 2025 was not just a trade fair, but a vibrant moto festival. From BMW's little F 450 GS to Ducati's revamped DesertX, from the first electric Honda WN7 to the return of Norton - all accompanied by MotoGP stars, the smell of food, beautiful girls and that energy that the automotive world has long lost.

Photojournalism simply wouldn’t have been able to make its mark in history without portable cameras. When Leica introduced the first 35mm camera in 1925, it revolutionized the way stories were told. It gave photographers the freedom to move and capture authentic moments without the need for bulky and heavy gear. This legacy lives on in today’s professional photojournalism cameras, which have evolved from the legendary Graflex Speed Graphic to modern mirrorless systems.
The Ferrari GTC4Lusso was considered the most practical workhorse from Maranello, but it made history in 2020 just as exotic vehicles were becoming increasingly popular for off-road adventures. While Porsche and Lamborghini responded to the trend with the 911 Dakar and Huracán Sterrato, Ferrari left the four-seat V12 grand tourer segment open. That's where the GlasWerks Elevato comes in.
In an age of wings and a million menus, the Norton Manx R is like a resolute Brit in a tuxedo: no frills, just substance – a new 1,200cc V4 with 206 hp, 130 Nm and a chassis for real roads. EICMA 2025 has its own silent star.
Trail for driving exams B and A1, “mini Dakar” look, fuel consumption like a rafter. LETBE Flygon 125 ABS is exactly the little adventurer that takes you to work in the morning, and in the afternoon to a trail that looks “dotted” on Google Maps. We saw it at the EICMA 2025 fair.
If you still think you need 150 horsepower for adventure, the Benelli BKX 125 will quickly put you back on track – with 15 horsepower, some common sense and a lot of style. It's a versatile on-off bike, created for young riders (and those at heart) who want to explore the world beyond the asphalt curbs – and do so with a smile. It's also one of the largest bikes in its class, where even big or heavy riders won't be too big for the bike.
At EICMA 2025, Honda kicked up a fuss with an engine that breathes on the command of electronics: a 900cc, water-cooled 75-degree V3 with an electronically controlled supercharger. The promise - the Honda V3R 900 E-Compressor Prototype? 1200-class performance, but in a more compact, lighter and friendlier package.
Imagine taking one of the rawest naked bikes on the market, coating it in the darkest black, adding carbon panels, hand-crafted leather and microfiber… and the end product is no longer just a motorcycle – it’s a luxurious art object on two wheels. Welcome to the BRABUS x KTM 1400 R Signature Edition, a joint project between BRABUS and KTM, limited to just 100 units worldwide.
Miami is once again raising the bar in the world of luxury real estate. If you're willing to shell out $30 million for a penthouse, you'll get the option to purchase a Pagani Utopia Roadster in addition to the luxurious home. For those looking to save a few million, there's also a "more affordable" penthouse available for $28.5 million, with the same option.
Romanian Meze Audio, one of the few manufacturers that treats wood with the same respect as sound, has introduced the second generation of its legendary 99 Classics headphones - the Meze Audio 99 Classics Gen 2. The new model retains the signature real walnut cabinet, 40mm dynamic drivers, and self-leveling headband, but brings fresh sound, lower impedance, better ergonomics, and — finally — an included USB-C DAC/amp.
The new Renault Twingo E-Tech isn't perfect, but it's magical – in that French way that makes you laugh and a little angry at the same time.
If Volvo and Range Rover had a child who was educated in China and spoke fluent English with a Swedish accent, it would probably be the Lynk & Co 08. A plug-in hybrid SUV that is emerging in Europe as a new branch of the Geely family – the same group that also owns Volvo and Zeekr. And yes, Lynk & Co is here to shake up established European ideas about what premium means. And what a plug-in hybrid can be. So the Lynk & Co 08 test.
