Hardly on the market, gone again. The CF Moto 650 GT has not been homologated to Euro 5. But the close cooperation with KTM should soon bear fruit here.

We will have to do without these models in the future

Another new EU standard for the homologation of motorcycles. The transition period from Euro 4 to Euro 5 for new vehicles will end soon and will bring with it another major model death.


Jens Kratschmar

December 28, 2020

Already from Euro 3 to Euro 4, the models that simply had not established themselves on the market and how the proverbial lead began to collect dust in the showrooms hit particularly hard. For Euro 5, too, the manufacturers are sorting out some models whose market success does not justify a continuation or for which technically future-proof models are already available. The only thing left for us to do is to raise our hands to our foreheads in Salut for some great motorcycles that will no longer exist with Euro 5. Even if the transition period for initial registration, which has been extended to 2022, gives manufacturers a generous buffer to initially sell off the Euro 4 models and to update them to Euro 5 in the meantime.

Harley-Davidson

After 63 years, Harley has been parting with the entire Sportster range without replacement. She is certain to tear, even if a potent successor is already in the starting blocks.

Including entire model series, such as the rightly iconic Sportster from Harley Davidson. The Sportster range was around for 63 years. The last technical basis was the Sportster Evolution-Twin introduced in 1986. Here it was really time for something new, and not just because of Euro 5. However, Harley still owes this new thing.

Aprilia is an excellent example of a lack of market success with the discontinuation of the 900 twins with the Shiver 900 and Dorsoduro 900. Fine engine, great sound, charming bikes, but only with respectable successes in a highly competitive price segment.

Honda has also not re-homologated the two iconic rib cattle CB 1100 EX and CB 1100 RS.

At Honda, too, some things with a cult factor will only experience the new year as discontinued goods. The splendid V four-cylinder in the three VFR models also go the way of everything earthly, as do the iconic four-cylinder in-line models of the CB 1100 models EX and RS.

Kawasaki.

But the compressor does not protect against retirement either. Kawasaki’s Ninja H2 rocket is also not brought above Euro 5.

Big sweep at Kawasaki, which appears mainly after the range has been streamlined. Sounds logical, even if the end of the ZZR 1400 low-flying projectile and also the Ninja H2, as well as the small 400s, the ZX-6 R or the evergreen par excellence: the Kawasaki Z 1000.

Yamaha is now finally separating from the big Tenere. The XTZ 1200 was supposed to attack the BMW GS, which it failed.

At Yamaha, too, the icons are at the fore. The travel steamer FJR 1300 was already declared dead before Euro 4, but this time the votes are right, as is the case with the unsuccessful XTZ 1200 Tenere or the two 950 twins SCR and XV.

Yes, now or never again.

No, it has to be a Euro 5 model.
