The world’s biggest motorcycle show – EICMA 2025 – is underway, and there’s a lot for Indian bikers to get excited about. Over the past few years, Indian brands like Royal Enfield, Hero MotoCorp, and TVS have made a big impression at the event, showcasing world-class machines. This year, the focus is on some of the most awaited bikes coming to India in 2025 and early 2026. Let’s take a look at the most exciting upcoming motorcycles from EICMA 2025.
Royal Enfield Himalayan 750, Interceptor 750 and Continental GT 750
Royal Enfield is coming out with an all-new 750cc twin-cylinder engine this year that will power several bikes. The first to get this upgrade will be the Interceptor 750 and Continental GT 750, followed by the much-anticipated Himalayan 750.
The Interceptor 750 will retain its classic styling, now sporting a single-pod instrument cluster like the Himalayan 450. The Continental GT 750, on the other hand, will sport a sharp café-racer design similar to the Triumph Thruxton. With improved braking thanks to dual front discs, power figures are expected to be around 55 bhp and torque close to 60 Nm.
However, the biggest news is the Royal Enfield Himalayan 750, which will be seen as the brand’s new adventure-touring flagship. It will use an all-new chassis inspired by the Himalayan 450 but tuned for long-distance comfort. The bike is expected to come in two variants, one with off-road focused dual-purpose tyres (19-17 setup) and the other with touring-oriented 17-inch alloy wheels. Despite weighing around 220 kilograms, the Himalayan 750 promises refined twin-cylinder performance and impressive touring capabilities.
The Flying Flea electric motorcycle has also been spotted, which is expected to be available for sale globally in 2026, signaling Royal Enfield’s entry into the EV space.
BMW F450GS – A premium adventure bike made in India
BMW Motorrad has unveiled the all-new F450GS at EICMA 2025. The motorcycle will replace the single-cylinder G310 GS with a new 450cc twin-cylinder engine, which will offer a major boost in performance and refinement.
Designed in Germany and built by TVS in Hosur, the F450GS blends premium BMW quality with Indian manufacturing efficiency. The bike will be equipped with multiple riding modes, traction control, quick-shifter and cornering ABS, ensuring a feature-packed experience.
The styling and design take inspiration from the bigger GS models, giving it the trademark adventure-bike look. Initially, it will come with alloy wheels (19-inch front), but a spoke-wheel variant may arrive later. With local production, pricing is expected to remain competitive, making the BMW F450GS one of the most attractive premium adventure motorcycles for India in 2025.
Hero XPulse 421 – A big step for Hero’s ADV lineup
After much waiting, Hero MotoCorp has finally launched the XPulse 421, its most powerful adventure bike yet. The XPulse 421 will use a 421cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine that will deliver performance similar to the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450.
It features a 21-18 inch spoke wheel setup, long-travel suspension, and is robustly designed for serious off-road use. Hero is known for its affordable price and low maintenance costs, making the XPulse 421 a promising option for riders looking for an accessible yet capable ADV motorcycle.
Expected to debut at EICMA 2025, the Hero XPulse 421 could be the most valuable adventure bike in its class.
KTM RC 390 (Next-Generation) – Sharp, Fast, Smart
KTM has finally unveiled the next-generation RC 390 at EICMA 2025. Based on the same platform as the latest 390 Duke, the new RC 390 will get adjustable suspension, cornering ABS, ride modes, quick-shifter and TFT connectivity with navigation and Bluetooth.
The new design takes heavy inspiration from KTM’s MotoGP bikes, coming with sharp lines and aerodynamic winglets. Expect the same 399cc engine to deliver thrilling performance while being smoother and more feature-packed than before.
With an expected price tag of under ₹5 lakh, the new KTM RC 390 is set to become one of the most exciting supersport bikes for Indian enthusiasts in 2025.
Aprilia TRX 457 – Twin-cylinder adventure tourer
After the success of the RS 457 and Tuono 457, Aprilia has introduced its first mid-capacity adventure bike, the TRX 457. Built in Baramati, Maharashtra, the motorcycle will share its 457cc twin-cylinder engine with the RS/Tuono but will be tuned for more low-end torque and off-road performance.
With a 21-inch front wheel, long-travel suspension and refined twin-cylinder power, the Aprilia TRX 457 offers a great balance between on-road touring and off-road fun. It will compete directly with the BMW F450GS and Royal Enfield Himalayan 750, heating up the ADV segment in 2025.
Norton V4 – A superbike reborn under TVS
The acquisition of Norton Motorcycles by TVS Motor Company has finally led to a major development, the Norton V4. This hand-built superbike will feature a V4 engine producing over 200 bhp, premium components and world-class performance.
While it won’t be a mass-market model, the Norton V4 symbolises India’s growing influence in the global high-performance motorcycle scene. The superbike was showcased at EICMA 2025, and is expected to go on sale in India in 2026 under the revived Norton brand.
Honda CB500 Hynes.
Rumours suggest that the Honda CB500 Hynes could also arrive, a single-cylinder version inspired by the CB350. It could serve as a bridge between the cheaper CB350 series and Honda’s larger 650cc models, making it a smart addition to India’s mid-size retro motorcycle market.
