Moto Sport 100 Limites, your dealership in Drummondville (Centre-du-Québec), now offers a large inventory of 2026 Honda, Kawasaki, and Yamaha motorcycles. All major motorcycle categories are represented (roadsters/naked, sportbikes, cruisers, touring, trail/dual-sport, etc.). In addition, our remaining 2025 models still in stock come with very attractive special offers — now is the time to take advantage of them before the new riding season begins.

 


 

 

SPORT MOTORCYCLES

 

 

Sport motorcycles are fully faired machines focused on performance and adrenaline. In our 2026 inventory, you’ll find flagship models such as the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R (998 cc inline engine, approx. 196 hp) and the Kawasaki Ninja H2 SX (supercharged, radical sport-touring), as well as several Honda CBR models: the CBR500R (471 cc, approx. 47.5 hp), ideal for new riders, and the CBR650R (649 cc, approx. 70 hp). On the Yamaha side, the R3, R7, and R1 supersport models complete the lineup (for example, the YZF-R7 with its 689 cc engine). These motorcycles deliver high performance thanks to sharp chassis design, advanced suspension, and powerful braking systems, for riders seeking excitement on the road or track.

 


 

 

DUAL-PURPOSE MOTORCYCLES (TRAIL / ADVENTURE)

 

 

Trail or dual-purpose motorcycles are designed for versatility on both paved roads and dirt paths. Examples include the Kawasaki Versys 650/1000 and KLX230/300, as well as the Honda CRF300L and Africa Twin lineup. These bikes feature road-friendly ergonomics combined with reinforced chassis and long-travel suspension for off-road adventure. They offer an upright riding position and torque-rich engines, making them suitable for urban riding, highway travel, and light off-road use. We also can’t forget the Yamaha Ténéré 700, arriving for 2026 with a new World Raid–inspired redesign.

 


 

 

TOURING MOTORCYCLES

 

 

In the touring and sport-touring segment, our 2026 lineup includes iconic references. For example, the Yamaha FJR1300ES (1,298 cc inline four-cylinder engine) combines long-distance comfort with strong performance. From Honda, the Gold Wing GL1800 (1,833 cc flat-six) remains the benchmark for long-range motorcycle travel. For a lighter touring approach, the Honda NT1100 (1,084 cc parallel twin, approx. 102 hp) offers a comfortable and capable touring-oriented design, complete with side cases. These touring models are equipped with tall windscreens, luggage options, and advanced electronics (traction control, riding modes, etc.) to maximize comfort on long rides.

 


 

 

CRUISERS

 

 

Cruiser motorcycles feature a relaxed style, typically with low seat heights and V-Twin engines. Our inventory includes models such as the Kawasaki Vulcan S and the Honda Rebel 500/1100. These bikes emphasize comfort, a laid-back riding position, and clean custom-inspired styling. They are perfectly suited for relaxed rides around the Centre-du-Québec, scenic roads, and charming local villages.

 


 

 

CUSTOM MOTORCYCLES

 

 

Custom motorcycles showcase bobber or café-racer-inspired styling with a personalized feel. Examples include the Yamaha XSR900 (retro-inspired, based on the MT platform) and the Kawasaki W800, also available as the W230, both offering a vintage look with a lively riding character. These bikes appeal to riders who want distinctive styling and strong customization potential.

 


 

 

STREET MOTORCYCLES (ROADSTERS / NAKED)

 

 

Roadsters, also known as naked bikes, are lightweight and agile machines designed for city and road use. Typical examples include the Yamaha MT lineup (MT-03 321 cc, MT-07 689 cc, MT-09 890 cc), the Kawasaki Z900 (948 cc inline four), and the Honda CB650R (649 cc) and CB500F. For instance, the Yamaha MT-09 is powered by a responsive 890 cc three-cylinder engine, delivering excellent agility and performance. These motorcycles are appreciated for their maneuverability, ease of use in urban environments, and overall versatility for daily riding.

 


 

 

SCOOTERS AND MOPEDS

 

 

For urban mobility, we also offer automatic scooters and 50–124 cc mopeds. These machines are simple, lightweight, and economical (such as the Honda Ruckus or Honda Giorno), making them ideal for city commuting. Their twist-and-go operation, without a manual clutch or gearbox, makes them beginner-friendly and highly practical for navigating traffic.

 


 

 

CENTRE-DU-QUÉBEC: A MOTORCYCLIST’S PLAYGROUND

 

 

The Drummondville region is a true playground for motorcyclists. Many scenic riding loops are worth exploring, such as the Saint-François River Tour, which connects Drummondville to picturesque villages like Pierreville and Odanak, offering beautiful riverside stops. Whether you live in Drummondville, Victoriaville, Warwick, Granby, Sherbrooke, or a nearby city, our dealership at 650 rue Domino is easily accessible and serves as an ideal starting point for discovering these routes.
