Why Royal Enfield created a limited edition

Royal Enfield doesn’t have a history of limited editions. Usually associated with updated versions of legacy motorcycles, Royal Enfield has broadened its lineup and vision. The Himalayan adventure bike and Scram 411 Crossover are recently introduced for contemporary riding styles. Royal Enfield is also developing the Flying Flea brand of electric motorcycles scheduled to debut in 2026.

Many motorcyclists customize and personalize their bikes. Recognizing this worldwide desire for self-expression, Royal Enfield chose the 648 cc parallel-twin engine Shotgun 650 as a platform to demonstrate customization. The Limited Edition Shotgun 650 is influenced by Icon’s Always Something custom-built motorcycle displayed at international motorcycle events in 2024.

Mazda MX-5 Miata 35th anniversary: A limited edition with lasting appeal
You may have the money, and you may want it, but your chances of snagging this Miata are slim
Front 3/4 view of the Miata 35th anniversary edition

The Mazda MX-5 Miata has a strong following, and it’s very easy to see why. The little roadster, which has been around since the 90s, is affordably priced, easy to drive, and looks great on a summer’s day with the top down. It’s the accessible third car, designed for cruising around on a pleasant summer’s day without a care in the world. It’s also the gateway to competitive racing for plenty of people. Slap a roll cage and a fire extinguisher in a production spec Miata, and there are plenty of competitions you can enter with it. It’s still going to sting in the wallet department, it’s racing after all, but it’s noticeably less financially destructive than almost anything else. Plus, when repairs are needed (and they will be needed)

So how do you celebrate the Miata’s 35th birthday? Surely you’d need a vehicle that captures all of its good points. The fun, the flair, the exceptional handling, the style, and most of all the affordability. And you know what, Mazda may have done just that.
It may be a bit more familiar than you think

What's better than fun? Even more fun. That's probably the mission statement for the Polaris Slingshot team. Polaris introduced the 2025 Slingshot lineup in late January, but the company has already boosted the excitement with a limited-edition 10th-anniversary model called simply Slingshot 10.

The Polaris team went all out with the Slingshot 10. Based on the top-of-the-line 2025 Slingshot R, which was already the most powerful and sporty model, the Slingshot 10 adds plenty of limited-edition styling elements and premium comfort and convenience features.
