All The Biggest Announcements From Eicma 2025

Kawasaki

Christmas comes early for motorcyclists, and it comes successful nan shape of the Esposizione Internazionale del Ciclo, Motociclo, e Accessori — EICMA for short. The Italian show is ever replete pinch new motorcycle launches and future merchandise teases, and this twelvemonth is nary different. It's been a whirlwind twelvemonth for bikes successful Italy, truthful we're compiling nan biggest stories retired of EICMA each successful 1 spot to make it easy for you. You're welcome. 

We'll beryllium keeping this portion arsenic up-to-date arsenic we can, adding to it arsenic much OEMs denote their large 2025 developments. From Benelli's caller ADVs to Zero's caller scooter, we've already gotten plentifulness of early presents this twelvemonth and they conscionable don't look to extremity rolling in. Sure, it makes my occupation arsenic keeper of this database a surviving hell, but I do it for each of you retired of axenic emotion of nan game. Let's spot what EICMA has for america this year. 

Benelli

Benelli whitethorn return nan barroom for astir announcements astatine this year's EICMA, pinch 7 debuts astatine nan company's booth. Of those, though, only 3 were large capable to make Benelli's keynote speech: The TRK 602 X, TRK 902 Stradale, and TRK 902 Xplorer escapade bikes.

The TRK 602 X will switch Benelli's TRK 502 statement (the shaper hasn't announced a street-oriented non-X exemplary yet, but expect 1 to travel down nan pipe), and adds a caller 554cc 270-degree parallel copy making a claimed 56 hp and 40 lb-ft of torque. Benelli besides claims nan suspension has been upgraded complete nan 502. 

The caller 902 line, by contrast, doesn't look to beryllium a replacement for nan 702 models. The TRK 902 Xplorer is Benelli's caller flagship offroad-focused ADV, though it still wears a 19 inch beforehand instrumentality and 17 inch rear — nary 21 inch beforehand here. It has 6.7 inches of suspension travel, and Benelli claims 95 hp and 66 lb-ft of torque from nan engine. The TRK 902 Stradale, by contrast, is nan flagship for nan road-oriented side. The Stradale wears 17-inch wheels beforehand and rear, and its 5.1 inches of suspension recreation make it intelligibly a pavement tourer. Benelli doesn't person overmuch much successful nan measurement of specs disposable yet, but hopefully that changes earlier nan bikes deed showrooms adjacent year. These bikes will apt return a spot to trickle down to nan United States marketplace though, arsenic has been nan inclination pinch Benellis of nan past, truthful don't expect them to beryllium in our showrooms adjacent year. 

BMW

BMW yet announced nan accumulation type of nan F 450 GS it teased arsenic a conception past year, and it looks for illustration a genuinely breathtaking bike. We person a full abstracted communicative connected nan caller babe GS, but nan apical lines are: 48 hp and 32 lb-ft of torque from a caller parallel twin, successful a motorcycle that weighs 393 pounds bedewed and wears a 19-inch beforehand instrumentality and a 17-inch rear. It ought to beryllium a blast. 

The large oddity pinch nan F 450 GS is its engine, which has a 135-degree crank angle. Parallel copy engines successful motorcycling person agelong been wither 180 aliases 360-degree twins, pinch V-twin-inspired 270-degree crank angles arsenic nan caller hotness that each shaper has jumped on. KTM has agelong been nan overseas OEM retired pinch its 285-degree crank angles, but BMW's 135 is thing other entirely. It ought to consciousness a spot much for illustration a single, pinch powerfulness pulses group person together to let nan rear tyre much clip to hook up successful loose dirt, but we'll person to thrust it to cognize for sure. 

BSA

BSA makes vintage-looking modular bikes, but it seems nan institution is willing successful dipping its toed into nan oh-so-popular escapade market. Enter nan Thunderbolt, a babe ADV built disconnected nan motor from nan company's Bantam 350 entry-level bike. It judge looks for illustration nan Thunderbolt wears a 21-inch beforehand wheel, which makes it a standout successful nan low-CC ADV class. Most of nan entry-level bikes, speech from nan Royal Enfield Himalayan and KTM 390 Adventure and Enduro R, opt for nan 19-inch front. 

Stylistically, I absolutely emotion this caller bike. It really looks for illustration there's a vintage motorcycle sitting beneath those Dakar-style fairings, and I think that's a awesome measurement to put nan BSA sanction connected an ADV. It's a spot for illustration nan Harley-Davidson Pan America, a motorcycle that looks for illustration an ADV built astir a cruiser vessel — here, nan vessel looks consecutive disconnected a vintage standard. BSA does person a mini spot of a beingness successful nan United States, truthful hopefully we spot this motorcycle present someday. 

CFMoto

CFMoto besides showed up to EICMA strong, pinch 2 large caller launches. The first is — and I deliberation you mightiness announcement a inclination present — a range-topping escapade bike, nan 1000MT-X. CFMoto makes ADV bikes successful nan compact and middleweight segments already, pinch nan 450, 700, and 800 platforms, but nan institution has been missing a flagship until now. The 1000MT-X claims 111 hp and 77 lb-ft of torque from its 946cc parallel twin, which seems to purpose it squarely astatine nan Honda Africa Twin. CFMoto only claims a useless barren weight measurement, but nan motorcycle intelligibly wears a 21-inch beforehand instrumentality among plentifulness of different flagship features: "Fully adjustable KYB suspension" beforehand and rear, 5 thrust modes, lean-sensitive ABS and traction control, TPMS, a quickshifter, heated grips and seat, cruise control, and more, each standard. This motorcycle could genuinely termination successful nan U.S. market, if we get it — truthful acold nan U.S. has only gotten nan 450MT and 800MT arsenic Ibex models, and hasn't gotten nan 800MT-X astatine all. Hopefully we commencement getting that statement pinch this bike. 

The large uncover from CFMoto, though, isn't moreover nan ADV. It's what you spot above, nan V4 SR-RR prototype. CFmoto hasn't announced that this will deed nan marketplace yet, but it's a testbed for a caller 997cc V4 centrifugal — 1 that CFmoto claims puts retired complete 210 hp. The large mobility astir this motorcycle is whether it signals intent from CFMoto to participate MotoGP, but it's reliable to opportunity that conscionable from this concept. The 2026 MotoGP grid is set, and 2027's rules little motor sizes to 850cc, truthful this motor surely isn't made for MotoGP. As to whether CFMoto will usage its acquisition present to build a title engine, though, that's anyone's guess. 

Ducati

Our first introduction connected nan database without a caller escapade bike! Ducati came close, teasing america with updates for nan DesertX, but nan institution didn't really propulsion disconnected nan camo astatine EICMA. It did, however, unveil nan latest loop of nan Hypermotard supermoto — nan caller Hypermotard V2 and V2 SP. The motorcycle gets a full redesign for 2026, inheriting nan caller V2 motor that Ducati's installing passim its lineup, meaning this L-twin supermoto now makes a afloat 120 hp. Ducati only lists bedewed weight without fuel, arsenic if that's not an oxymoron, but a spot of speedy mathematics disconnected nan substance vessel capacity gives a existent bedewed weight of conscionable 417 pounds (410 for nan SP). It ought to thrust arsenic crisp arsenic nan caller creation looks, which is to say very. 

Ducati besides rolled retired immoderate upgrades for nan Panigale V2 successful nan shape of nan MM93 and FB63 editions. It whitethorn beryllium tougher to waste a Pecco Bagnaia-branded motorcycle nan aforesaid twelvemonth nan three-time World Champion managed to beryllium passed by Somkiat Chantra successful Australia, but some bikes get a slew of capacity upgrades sloppy of whose number is connected nan fairing. Both bikes get civilization liveries inspired by their riders — Marc's livery from nan Barcelona test, Pecco's helmet creation — arsenic good arsenic individually-numbered triple trees, forged wheels, steering dampers, lowered clip-ons, typical grips, and a unsocial windshield. I'd prime Marc's motorcycle retired of nan 2 (i'm a sucker for a comeback story), but nan Panigale V2 I for illustration astir for 2026 doesn't travel from either of nan Duacti Lenovo riders. Instead, it's nan V2 S, which (allong pinch nan Streetfighter V2 S) gets nan gorgeous Giallo Ducati shadiness backmost for adjacent year. I'm a sucker for a yellowish bike, moreover successful nan look of nan MotoGP-inspired Corse livery now disposable connected nan Panigale V4 and Streetfighter V4. 

Harley-Davidson

Harley-Davidson gave america immoderate much specifications connected nan Bagger World Cup, a bid that I'm still not wholly sold on. I deliberation it's cool, for sure, but I'm not convinced it will thief Harley income successful Europe nan measurement nan institution wants. The one-make bid is group to commencement up adjacent year, accompanying MotoGP to nan Circuit of nan Americas, Autodromo Internazionale del Mugello, TT Circuit Assen, Silverstone Circuit, MotorLand Aragon, and nan Red Bull Ring. 

Harley besides showed disconnected a race-modified motorcycle base nan series' caller logo, and it looks like... a King of nan Baggers bike. Compare this prototype to Kyle Wyman's winning 2025 King of nan Baggers ride, and it looks identical. The intake, nan exhaust, nan saddlebags, nan brakes, it's each there. If Harley wanted to position itself arsenic a capacity subordinate successful Europe, I'd expect nan institution to usage a motorcycle much for illustration nan Revolution Max-equipped Sportster S, but we'll spot what MotoGP audiences deliberation of a King of nan Baggers thrust adjacent year. 

Honda

Honda has a number of caller launches retired of EICMA, starting pinch nan CB1000GT. It's a sport-tourer built connected nan CB1000 Hornet platform, giving that naked literbike a windshield, saddlebags, and immoderate touring-specific tuning. That tuning includes a instrumentality physics suspension that sounds nan roadworthy successful existent clip and dynamically adjusts beforehand and rear damping, successful hopes of giving nan tourer a genuinely soft thrust for those robust butt days. We're not group to get nan CB1000GT, astatine slightest not yet, truthful I guess we'll beryllium forced to unrecorded pinch nan Gold Wing until then. Truly a unspeakable fate. 

Honda besides announced its E-Clutch mechanism will beryllium coming to a full slew of caller bikes. The tech is coming to nan Transalp, nan CB750 Hornet, nan NX500, nan CBR500R, and nan CB500F Hornet. Curiously absent are nan SCL500 and nan Rebel 500, which some stock their 500cc motor pinch nan second 3 bikes connected nan E-Clutch list, though nan tech whitethorn make its measurement to those bikes later on. We'll besides person to spot really agelong it takes this alteration to deed nan U.S., since Honda took its clip giving nan Rebel 300 nan upgrade aft nan Japanese Rebel 250 sewage it. 

The bigger news retired of Honda is nan preamble of nan WN7, nan company's first electrical motorcycle. The EV puts retired 67 hp (which Honda hilariously compares to a 600-class bike) and 74 ft-lbs of torque, and its 9.3 kWh artillery tin beryllium charged from 20% to 80% successful half an hour. Range is only claimed to beryllium 87 miles, but that's a reasonably agelong thrust extracurricular nan States. Honda hasn't yet announced wherever nan WN7 will beryllium released, though Japan is simply a coagulated conjecture to get nan motorcycle first. Really, though, nan WN7 mostly makes maine wonderment really agelong it'll beryllium until Honda gives america an EV connected par pinch nan original Cub — a scooter for non-motorcyclists that went connected to go nan best-selling conveyance successful nan world. 

The header from Honda, though, is that motorcycle you spot above: The V3R 900 E-Compressor prototype. Honda teased america pinch this powertrain past year, showing disconnected nan electronically-turbocharged V3 mill successful a bare motorcycle frame, but now there's a full motorcycle astir it — substance tank, seat, lights, moreover an exhaust. Honda says capacity is "comparable to that of a 1200cc engine," without really specifying what that means, but I'm hopeless to find retired firsthand. Honda, either alert this prototype retired to nan United States aliases alert maine retired location other to thrust it. I want to know so badly what an electronically-turbocharged V3 feels like. 

Indian

Indian brought nan requisite suite of caller colors for 2026 to EICMA, but it besides brought thing genuinely cool: The Sport Scout RT, a color-matched bagger version of nan Sport Scout. I wrote nan motorcycle up successful afloat earlier this week, but this is 1 I'm genuinely excited for. I'm not nan biggest cruiser girlie, but my past mates rides connected bikes of this style person started to waste maine connected them — particularly erstwhile they person a mates difficult bags for practicality and a Jax Teller-style nine fairing up front. 

The Sport Scout RT gets nan Sport Scout's engine, each 1250ccs of liquid-cooled V-twin putting retired 105 horsepower and 82 ft-lbs of torque, but it yet paints nan fairing and fenders to lucifer nan tank. The bags, which look identical to those from nan bigger Sport Chief RT, are besides painted to match. This is simply a sharp-looking bike, and it ought to thrust beautiful crisp too. I'm looking guardant to uncovering retired for myself. 

Kawasaki

The Kawasaki Z900RS gets a full slate of updates for 2026, down to its very core. The bike's 948cc inline-four has been worked complete pinch caller cams and a higher compression ratio, which Kawasaki claims was intended to up nan top-end power. Unfortunately, nan institution has a dyno chart connected its tract showing a nonaccomplishment of low-end grunt successful speech — nan graph's axes aren't labeled, but nan caller torque and horsepower curves beryllium beneath nan aged ones for astir of nan RPM range. This mightiness mean a alteration successful character, though, turning nan Z900 into much of a sportbike. That would surely fresh pinch each nan physics changes KAwasaki has made, giving nan Z900 an IMU that allows for lean-sensitive ABS and traction control. The motorcycle besides gets Bluetooth, successful lawsuit you want to... scream astatine it? Kawasaki's property images are wild. 

As you saw up top, though nan Z900RS isn't nan only update from Kawasaki. The ZX-10R sewage a afloat rework for 2026, making it — to my eye, astatine slightest — a overmuch prettier bike. The small aero features beneath nan headlights person germinated into afloat wings, and Kawasaki says it's re-tuned nan chassis and suspension to relationship for nan added downforce. Will you announcement that downforce successful your regular riding? Almost surely not, but it looks cool arsenic hell. The ZX-10R besides gets a caller dash, which includes nan aforesaid yell-at-your-bike Bluetooth connectivity to Kawasaki's app. 

KTM

Plenty of group expected KTM to show up to EICMA pinch an update for nan RC390 babe sportbike, but that caller exemplary hasn't shown up yet. Instead, KTM brought nan different motorcycle we've seen coming: The Brabus 1400R. Mercedes-tuner Brabus has worked pinch KTM for a while now, making typical variants of nan Austrians' highest-performing bikes, and nan 1400R carries that contented to nan 1390 Super Duke R Evo. 

The Brabus-worked motorcycle makes 190 hp and 107 lb-ft of torque from its 1,350cc V-twin engine, which reaches nan crushed done a very fancy single-sided swingarm. The assemblage is wholly worked complete from nan guidelines bike, moreover adding an under-tail exhaust and ditching nan pillion spot to look a spot much Brabus, but that each comes astatine a costs — $48,386 complete successful Germany for this limited-run "Signature Edition" launch model. Not cheap, but KTM is only putting retired 100 of these earlier presumably moving connected to a little limited, non-signature variant. 

Of course, fixed that nan 1400R was emissions-certified by nan EPA, this will apt beryllium nan first Brabus-KTM collaboration to deed our American shores. It's improbable we'll get that limited-run signature model, since those will almost surely waste retired earlier immoderate U.S. announcement tin beryllium made, but I'd expect nan higher-production exemplary to make its measurement to dealers retired here. 

Livewire

We've heard from Harley-Davidson, but Livewire has thing caller successful nan useful too. Last twelvemonth astatine EICMA, nan institution announced it would activity pinch Kymco connected scooters, and this twelvemonth we get to spot nan fruits of that collaboration: The S2 Maxi-Scooter. The scoot runs connected Livewire's S2 hardware, but it's not clear whether it's been straight translated into this caller chassis aliases if location are much changes to beryllium had. One would deliberation that nan maxi-scooter layout would let for much packaging opportunities, but it sounds for illustration we'll person to hold until nan scoot's motorboat adjacent twelvemonth for much details. 

The S2 Maxi-Scooter whitethorn not person nan astir imaginative name, but it does person immoderate beautiful imaginative styling. The scoot appears to travel successful 2 variants, 1 sleeker and 1 much ruggedized. The second has a spot of a Honda Ruckus vibe to me, and I've ever loved those — it'll beryllium bully to spot a bigger version of that style that doesn't request to pain gas. 

MV Agusta

The news present is little nan specs of nan Brutale Serie Oro, and much nan truth that MV Agusta is still putting retired caller versions of nan Brutale — aliases caller bikes astatine all, fixed nan company's caller breakup from KTM. The institution has been done nan firm wringer recently, but it seems nan folks successful Italy wanted to beryllium they've still sewage it aft their caller foster dada turned them backmost complete to anterior parents. 

I can't opportunity I've ever really loved MV Agusta's styling, but nan Serie Oro is 1 of nan best-looking variants of nan Brutale nan institution makes. It's nary 1000 RR Assen, sure, but its ergonomics should beryllium a batch much rideable — and its value a batch much attainable. Not attainable, mind you, but more attainable. This is still MV Agusta we're talking about. The institution doesn't person to person released an MSRP for america to cognize it'll beryllium a lot. 

Norton

Norton is back! The institution was sold disconnected to TVS a fewer years ago, which kept nan nameplate live and adorning nan tanks of 961 Commandos. Now, though, nan Commando is dead, and a caller four-bike lineup is taking its spot (with 2 much promised to travel later.) TVS is calling this Norton's Resurgence, and it starts pinch a sportbike, a naked, and 2 ADVs — 1 biased towards pavement, nan different towards dirt. They're nan Manx R, nan Manx, nan Atlas, and nan Atlas GT, respectively. 

So acold we've only gotten existent specifications connected nan Manx R. Norton is claiming a 1200cc V4 motor, Brembo brakes, an under-body exhaust, a single-sided swingarm, c assemblage panels and wheels, and semi-active suspension. This really seems to beryllium a flagship successful nan purest sense, occupying nan highest heights of nan Norton lineup. Hopefully nan folks that retrieve Nortons of aged person invested their status plans wisely, because there's nary measurement this motorcycle is cheap. 

Royal Enfield

Royal Enfield will ne'er tally retired of bikes to put that 650 copy in, it seems, because nan institution conscionable released another: The Bullet 650, different motorcycle built connected nan Super Meteor 650 platform. I for illustration that 650 mill, and I emotion nan Super Meteor, truthful I'm ever happy to invited much variants into nan lineup. I can't opportunity nan Bullet is my individual velocity erstwhile it comes to styling, but my roommate has agelong been waiting for a bigger related to nan Bullet 350. Looks for illustration Enfield heard her prayers. 

On nan electrical side, Enfield's sub-brand Flying Flea has a caller exemplary called nan S6. The C6 seems to beryllium nan metropolis motorcycle of nan lineup, making nan S6 nan scrambler — though I'd telephone it much of an enduro, personally. It wears a 19-inch instrumentality up beforehand and an 18 successful nan rear, an overseas operation that mightiness make tyre shopping interesting, but Flying Flea seems assured successful its expertise to task beyond nan pavement. I genuinely dream I get to trial that for myself. Unfortunately, Flying Flea besides loaded up nan merchandise page for nan S6 pinch dumb AI videos, which sucks. Cut that out, automakers. 

Lastly, and surely slightest erstwhile it comes to existent info, Enfield's booth previewed 2 caller bikes: 750cc models of nan Himalayan and Continental GT. We've known these bikes person been coming, we've seen them testing, but this is nan astir anyone's gotten to flick astir one. I'm not successful Italy to do truthful myself, I'm stuck present successful Brooklyn, truthful return a look astatine Autocar India's inspection of nan prototype bikes. 

Suzuki

Somehow, incredibly, Suzuki isn't done pinch nan 645cc V-twin from nan SV650. Most of nan motorcycling world has figured that motor was bound for Valhalla, doomed by modern emissions standards, but it seems Suzuki's ne'er met a spot of engineering it wouldn't usage until nan very past imaginable second. Enter nan SV-7GX, a fully-faired bigger relative to nan beloved SV. We person a longer blog connected nan SV-7GX, truthful I'll conscionable deed nan highlights here.

The SV-7GX, arsenic you mightiness expect from nan SV moniker, shares its motor and trellis framework pinch nan SV650. It besides looks for illustration it shares its right-side-up forks pinch nan small naked (when was nan past clip you saw a caller middleweight introduced pinch those?), but it does get thing nan SV650 sorely lacks: Modern-looking move signals. Suzuki hasn't confirmed whether we'll get nan SV-7GX successful nan States, and I'd beryllium amazed if we did — but I'm amazed Suzuki built this astatine all, alternatively than a touring version of nan GSX-8 platform, truthful who knows?

Yamaha

Ducati isn't nan only shaper bringing bully colors to EICMA this year. The R7 whitethorn still beryllium pretty new, but Yamaha refreshed it for 2026 anyway. The caller motorcycle gets a astonishing number of changes, starting pinch caller suspension beforehand and rear — 4.7 inches of recreation successful beforehand and 4.8 successful back, down from 5.1 beforehand and rear connected nan 2025 model. Somehow, contempt nan rear now having much recreation than nan front, nan bike's geometry has relaxed a bit: 24 degrees of rake, up from 23.7, and 3.6 inches of way alternatively than 3.5 connected past year's bike. All that without nan crushed clearance changing. Beats me. Besides nan geometry and suspension changes, substance capacity goes up to 3.7 gallons from 3.4, and nan motorcycle gets a spot smarter pinch lean-sensitive ABS. The R7 besides gets its revised fairings done up successful this blue-purple-electric greenish colorway, which I deliberation should beryllium offered connected each motorcycle forever. 

The R7 isn't nan only point Yamaha brought to EICMA, though. The institution besides introduced a caller dual sport, nan WR125R, which stands arsenic nan astir normal dual-sport successful Yamaha's lineup. The institution has agelong had nan fat-tire TW200, and immoderate nan XT250's woody is, but nan WR125R is simply a genuinely regular ungraded motorcycle pinch lights and a sheet bracket. Between this and nan XR150L from Honda, I have to wonderment if motorcycle makers are betting connected getting kids connected bikes younger — young capable that a 125 tin really move them — past upgrading to a licence and a sheet arsenic they grow. Making caller motorcyclists erstwhile they're young doesn't look for illustration a bad move. 

Zero

Last but not least, Zero rounds retired our alphabetically-ordered list. The institution is bringing thing genuinely new: A scooter, nan first successful its lineup. Much for illustration Livewire above, it seems Zero wants to grow accessibility to nan marque aft years of making much aspirationally-priced models (the Sur-Ron-styled X statement besides speaks to this) and what's much accessible than a scooter? Enter nan LS1, nary narration to nan GM V8. Zero claims a 1 hr and 45 infinitesimal 20%-to-80% complaint clip pinch an optional 1,500-watt accelerated charger, and a maximum scope of 72 miles earlier adding other batteries. So far, nan LS1 is only intended for Europe, and pinch a apical velocity little than astir American road velocity limits I don't expect that to change. Still, possibly a celebrated scooter tin subsidize nan remainder of nan Zero lineup. 

That lineup should soon see thing for illustration nan Lompico Concept, besides revealed astatine EICMA. This doesn't look to beryllium for illustration astir EICMA "concepts," which are simply very-near-production motorcycles, but it's much a "concept" in nan four-wheeled consciousness of nan world — previewing tech and styling that'll make their measurement to accumulation vehicles for years to come. The Lompico heralds a caller operating strategy and a much modern, almost Husqvarna-esque styling connection that I'm very excited to spot connected a accumulation model.
