Hello and welcome to Bike Loans Australia Motorcycle News Insights, Im Paige Estritori, and its Saturday, 22 November 2025. First up, Triumph has given the Bonneville T100 and T120 a safety boost for 2026, adding cornering ABS, traction control, an LED headlight and USB‑C, with cruise control standard on the T120. Aussie deliveries are due from January, with prices starting around nineteen grand for the T100 and about twenty‑two and a half for the T120 ride‑away. If a modern‑tech classic is on your shortlist, plan your budget early; we can help with flexible terms and quick online applications for new or used bikes. Meanwhile, Bajaj has moved to sole control of PIERER Mobility, which sits over KTM, Husqvarna and GASGAS. The change aims to simplify ownership and could steady supply and model roll‑outs into 2026. If youre eyeing one of these brands, keep an eye on dealer timelines; we offer finance options that can match your preferred delivery window and accessories. On insurance, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission, or ACCC, has delayed its decision on a proposed deal between IAG and RAC in Western Australia to 11 December. Why it matters: market concentration affects competition, which can flow through to premiums you pay to insure your bike. As you compare repayments, factor in cover costs and shop around for value. And the Insurance Council of Australia, or ICA, is building a sector‑wide fraud detection platform with artificial intelligence, due early next year. The aim is to spot organised scams faster so genuine claims move more smoothly and pressure on premiums eases over time. Keep your policy details accurate and receipts handy to make any future claim simpler. Thats the wrap.
