Over 25 India-Bound Bikes From EICMA 2025: Full List & Analysis
EICMA 2025: The Big Reveal for Indian Roads
Milan’s biennial motorcycle extravaganza, EICMA 2025, wasn’t just about European concepts. For Indian buyers, the show floor was dominated by production-ready models heading to showrooms in Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru. From the Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 to the Honda CB350-based scrambler, the lineup is diverse. Let’s break down every confirmed launch.
Royal Enfield: The 750cc Play
Royal Enfield stole the spotlight with the Himalayan 750 and the Shotgun 750. The Himalayan 750 gets a liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine, while the Shotgun 750 is a retro bobber. Both are expected to launch in India by mid-2026, priced around ₹3.5-4 lakh (ex-showroom). The 650cc platform gets a refresh too, with the Super Meteor 650 now featuring cruise control and updated suspension.
Honda: Scrambler & CB350 Updates
Honda unveiled the CB350 Scrambler (codenamed SCL350) and the CB350RS with a new LED headlamp. The scrambler gets 17-inch spoked wheels and a raised exhaust. Honda also showed the CB400X (a 400cc adventure tourer) which could replace the CB350X. All these are built at Honda’s Manesar plant, ensuring competitive pricing.
Bajaj-KTM: The 390cc Revolution
Bajaj Auto and KTM revealed the KTM 390 Adventure S (with a 43mm WP suspension) and the KTM 390 Duke GP (a track-focused naked). Bajaj also showed the Pulsar NS400 with a 400cc liquid-cooled engine, targeting the KTM 390 Duke. The KTM 490 platform is now officially shelved; instead, Bajaj will focus on the 390cc lineup.
BMW: G 310 S & F 900 GS
BMW Motorrad India confirmed the G 310 S (a sport-tourer based on the 310cc platform) and the F 900 GS (with a 895cc parallel-twin). The G 310 S will be priced under ₹3 lakh, while the F 900 GS will compete with the Triumph Tiger 900.
Triumph: Thruxton 400 & Speed 400 X
Triumph unveiled the Thruxton 400 (a cafe racer) and the Speed 400 X (an adventure-touring variant of the Speed 400). Both are built in Bajaj’s Chakan plant. The Thruxton 400 gets clip-on handlebars and a solo seat cowl.

“EICMA 2025 confirmed what we suspected: India is now the primary market for mid-displacement motorcycles. Over 60% of the global launches here are either made in India or heavily localized.” — Autocar India, EICMA 2025 coverage
Why This Matters for Indian Buyers
India’s motorcycle market is shifting from 150cc commuters to 400-750cc lifestyle machines. EICMA 2025 reflects this trend. Royal Enfield’s 750cc twins, Honda’s scramblers, and Bajaj-KTM’s 390cc range all target the upwardly mobile Indian rider who wants performance without the superbike price tag. The localization push means prices are competitive — the Himalayan 750, for example, undercuts the Kawasaki Versys 650 by nearly ₹1 lakh.
Key Takeaways
- Local manufacturing is the single biggest factor keeping prices low. Bajaj, Honda, and Royal Enfield all produce their EICMA models in India.
- Adventure and scrambler segments are exploding. The Himalayan 750, V-Strom 800, and CFMoto 450MT show this clearly.
- Electric bikes were conspicuously absent from the India-bound list. Only Ola Electric and Ultraviolette had concept stalls, but no production timeline for 2026.
What to Expect in 2026-2027
Expect a flood of launches in the first half of 2026. Royal Enfield will lead with the Himalayan 750 and Shotgun 750, followed by Honda’s CB350 family. Bajaj will aggressively price the Pulsar NS400 to undercut the KTM 390 Duke. Meanwhile, premium models from BMW and Triumph will cater to the touring crowd. The used bike market will see a correction as these new models arrive.
