Redefining the Superbike: What Truly Counts?

What actually qualifies a motorcycle as a "superbike"? While anything over 400cc or equipped with a multi-cylinder engine used to automatically earn the title, the definition is shifting in the modern era.

In this episode of The Flying Talks, we explore why a true superbike should perhaps be defined at 800cc and above. We discuss how entry-level and mid-segment options like 650cc machines have evolved, and why evaluating a big bike shouldn't just be limited to top speeds and quick acceleration. From adventure bikes and cruisers to tourers and sports tourers, we unpack the different segments that offer vastly different experiences for riders looking to step up.
