Ford is celebrating the Ford Bronco’s lengthy 60-year legacy with a special anniversary edition.  The first-generation Bronco was introduced on August 11, 1965. Now in its sixth generation, the 2026 Bronco 60th Anniversary Package will be available to order in October with the 4-door Outer Banks model equipped with the brawny Bronco Sasquatch package.

Why the Bronco is so special

Considered the first sport-utility vehicle by many, the Bronco has always combined off-road capability and performance since its introduction. Even though production was suspended for 25 years from 1996 to 2021, Bronco fans, old and new, welcomed the announcement of its return and eagerly awaited the closest competitor to the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited.

Suzuki Hayabusa 25th Anniversary model celebrates the ultimate sportbike
It's not just the Hayabusa's speed that make it great
2025 Suzuki Hayabusa 25th Anniversary model dring on a highway our of a city left front three-quarter view.

There are many sportbikes, but very few can compete with the Suzuki Hayabusa. When the first generation Hayabusa launched in 1999, it was acclaimed as the fastest production motorcycle in the world, with a top speed of 188 miles per hour. Still one of three or four production bikes with top speeds approaching 200 mph, the 2024 Hayabusa is available in a special 25th Anniversary Edition.
What makes the Hayabusa so special?

Top speed is the hot topic with supersport bikes, but when you think of zooming at 194 mph, the current model's maximum, power isn't the only concern. Sure, durability and reliability are important, and sometimes costly, considerations with high-speed vehicles of any category, but unless you only want to go for one ride, braking, handling, and stability are right at the top of the list.

While not listed on the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration as an official recall like VW's recent recall of its e-tron GT, Ford has instead contacted owners as a 'customer service action.'

Ducati sport and super sport bikes often feature in racetrack photos with riders scrapping their knees on high-speed corners, but the Scrambler Ducati lineup has a celebrated tradition of off-road capable bikes that goes back to the early 1960s. Designed with the Rizoma motorcycle accessories company, the Scrambler Ducati 10th Anniversario Rizoma Edition celebrates ten years of modern Scrambler models and emphasizes the individual styling possible with the Scrambler platform.
Why Ducati is celebrating the anniversary of a desert scrambler-style motorcycle

Rizoma's specialty accessories and design enhancements emphasize the potential for individual self-expression of Scrambler Ducati riders. Ducati originated the Scramblers in response to demand from American riders for motorcycles that incorporated the performance aspects of European racing motorcycles with the spirit and capabilities of bikes that could be ridden anywhere, including the vast open deserts of the southwest, where scrambler-style motorcycles were popular.
