Over 25 India-bound bikes from EICMA 2025

There were a bunch of interesting motorcycles and scooters on display at EICMA this year. Many of these models are likely to make their way to our country. Here’s a list of scooters and bikes that we expect to be launched in the Indian market.

The Aprilia stall displayed the RS457 sporting new liveries. One of them combines blue, red and black, and the other one is a GP replica finished in the same colours as the brand’s RS-GP MotoGP machine. The GP replica has both glossy and matte paint finishes on various body panels, with sponsor stickers of the factory Aprilia MotoGP team. Considering there are three options on sale currently, there might even be a third new colour scheme on offer.

The much-awaited BMW F 450 GS will be manufactured by TVS in India. The bike has a kerb weight of 178kg, gets quad-LED DRLs (daytime running lamps) inspired by the new R 1300 GS, a single disc brake at the front and a golden-coloured USD fork. Its 420cc twin-cylinder engine produces 48hp at 8,750 rpm and a peak torque of 43Nm at 6,750 rpm. The F 450 GS also gets BMW’s Shift Assistant Pro (quickshifter) for quick upshifts and downshifts without using the clutch.

The BSA Thunderbolt is an interesting ADV unveiled at EICMA 2025. Powered by a 334cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine paired with a 6-speed gearbox, it is said to put out around 30hp and 30Nm of peak torque. It features adjustable long-travel suspension and rides on a 21-inch front and a 17-inch rear wheel setup. The bike appears to be built on the same Yezdi Adventure platform, and this could very well be what the next-generation Yezdi Adventure looks like.

Ducati has revealed the Hypermotard V2 and its V2 SP variant, marking the fourth generation of this model and celebrating 20 years since its debut at EICMA. The bike is now 13 kg lighter, and the 890cc 90-degree V2 engine produces 120hp at 10,750rpm and 94Nm at 8,250rpm. That’s a 6hp gain, while torque is down by 2Nm. Meanwhile, the SP version is even lighter with a reduction of 16kg compared to the outgoing bike.

Just like the older Xpulse 200, the new 210 gets a Dakar edition with a special livery, adjustable long-travel suspension (280mm at both ends) and knobby tyres. The bike will have a taller seat height and offer more ground clearance. 

The Hunk 440 SX is a version of the Mavrick. New elements include a twin-outlet upswept exhaust, a rather large engine guard, a small flyscreen, braced handlebars, knuckle guards, split seats, new wheels, a different rear fender, a new tail-lamp and new tyres. The Hunk 440 shown overseas comes with a golden USD fork, but the SX variant comes with a gaitered right-side-up telescopic fork. The Hunk 440 SX also comes with a ride-by-wire throttle, enabling riding modes and traction control and has a larger 18-inch front wheel compared to the standard Hunk.

The Vida Ubex concept is a play on the word “Urbex”, which is short for urban exploration. True to its name, the Ubex is a city-focused EV motorcycle that takes inspiration from supermoto-style bikes. Vida emphasises the Ubex’s ride comfort, reinforcing its supermoto credentials. Next in line is the Vida VXZ, a sharply styled, naked electric motorcycle developed in collaboration with Zero Motorcycles. Beyond this partnership, however, the company has kept most details under wraps.

Honda has unveiled the CB1000GT at EICMA2025. It is a sports tourer based on the CB1000 Hornet, aimed at comfort and touring, and powered by the same 1000cc inline-4 engine as the Hornet. The mill puts out 49.7hp and 102Nm and is said to be tuned for stronger mid-range performance. The 21-litre fuel tank is said to have a claimed range of over 340km, and the bike’s kerb weight is 229kg.

The CB1000F uses the same 1,000cc inline-4 engine from the Hornet, but Honda has revised the internals. The bike gets new camshafts (for both the intake and exhaust); the intake specifications are tuned differently; the airbox has been revised, and there’s also a new 4-2-1 exhaust system. Power output is 123.7hp at 9,000rpm and 103Nm of torque at 8,000rpm. In comparison, the Hornet makes 157hp at 11,000rpm and 107Nm at 9,000rpm. 

Honda has been updating its motorcycle range with E-Clutch technology. It is a semi-automatic transmission system that allows the rider to eliminate the use of the clutch, allowing for an easier ride, while retaining the ability to shift manually using the gear shifter. The NX500, Hornet 750 and XL750 Transalp were displayed at EICMA with this tech and should make their way to India in the future.

Kawasaki has updated its litre-class track bike, the ZX-10R. It now has a mean face inspired by the ZX-6R and also gets winglets. The other big visual change on the 10R is the new green/blue/white colour scheme, also borrowed from the smaller 6R. The ZX-10R features a new 5-inch TFT display seen on bikes such as the latest Z900 and Z1100, although the switchgear is unchanged. Kawasaki hasn’t revealed peak output numbers for the EU-spec ZX-10R. For reference, the current version of the bike sold in India makes 205hp and 112Nm of torque. 

Kawasaki has revealed its first off-road-capable ADV in the form of the KLE500, which resurrects the nameplate after 18 years. The bike uses the same 451cc twin-cylinder engine as the Ninja 500, with shorter gearing due to a larger sprocket. The KLE500 has a brand-new trellis frame and long-travel suspension, and it rides on 21/17-inch wire-spoked wheels with dual-purpose tyres. Its seat height is 860mm, ground clearance is 172mm and wheel travel is 210mm/200mm (F/R). The higher SE variant gets a TFT display, bash plate, larger windscreen and knuckle guards.

The Manx R uses a 1,200cc 72-degree liquid-cooled V4 engine making 206hp at 11,500rpm and 130Nm of torque at 9,000rpm. This engine also has cylinder deactivation, which switches off the rear bank of cylinders at a standstill. Stopping duties are handled by Brembo’s top-spec Hypure calipers and huge 330mm front disc brakes with a single-piston caliper mated to a 245mm rear disc. It uses Ohlins semi-active suspension, controlled by a Marzocchi-managed system. Here too, top-spec parts, such as the NIX 30 fork and TTX GP monoshock, are seen. Additionally, the bike sports Pirelli Supercorsa V4 SP tyres.

The Atlas adventure bike is the more accessible model in the new Norton line-up and will be made entirely in India. Powering the Atlas is a 585cc parallel-twin liquid-cooled engine that is said to make around 70hp. These bikes should have a kerb weight of around 200-210kg fully fuelled. The steel trellis frame appears to share its base architecture with that of the BMW F 450 GS’s frame. On the standard Atlas, you get roughly 180mm of wheel travel at both ends, while on the Atlas GT, you get a lower 140mm. The Atlas runs on 19/17-inch (F/R) cross-spoke wheels shod with Eurogrip Trailhound STR tyres, while the GT has 17-inch alloy wheels shod with Eurogrip Roadhound rubber. The seat height of the Atlas is said to be around 840mm, while the GT is lower at approximately 810mm.

The Himalayan 450 line-up expands with the new Mana Black variant. Essentially, this Mana Black gets the tall, single-piece rally seat and the different tail section as standard. It also gets the cross-spoke wheels that permit tubeless tyres as standard, in addition to other things like the hand guards. This Mana Black variant is finished in a stealthy black colourway with white accents, sort of like an inverted version of the standard bike’s Kamet White colour. We can expect an India launch announcement in the coming months.

The new Bullet 650 revealed at EICMA retains classic Bullet styling, featuring a single-piece stepped seat, metal tank badging, hand-painted pinstripes on the tank and side panels and generous amounts of chrome. Powering the Bullet 650 is the familiar 648cc parallel-twin engine producing 47hp and 52.3Nm. It shares most of its chassis and hardware with the Classic 650, with identical figures for wheelbase, seat height, ground clearance and kerb weight. The Bullet 650 has been showcased in two colour options and will likely be one of the more affordable models in Royal Enfield’s 650cc range when it goes on sale.

Royal Enfield has done extensive work on its existing 648cc motor to create this larger engine, which is rumoured to displace around 750cc. The block and head of this new engine appear to be larger, and the crankcases seem to be quite different too. We believe that this engine will put out somewhere between 55hp and 60hp in the bike.

Just like the Himalayan 750, the GT 750 was also on display as a work in progress. It will get the larger engine that is said to displace approximately 750cc. More details and specifications are currently not available.

The Flying Flea C6 is an urban electric commuter. The bike features a circular headlamp, circular rearview mirrors and a unique girder fork setup, and it appears to be really lightweight with its compact proportions. The wavy, fin-like structures on the battery compartment are designed to enhance the styling and could also improve cooling.

The Flying Flea S6 is essentially a scrambler based on the C6 and gets a conventional USD fork with longer travel suspension. It also uses a chain drive system with a large rear sprocket and spoked wheels, unlike the belt drive system and alloy wheels on the C6. Both the C6 and S6 should go on sale next year. 

The 2026 model gets significant upgrades to the engine and electronics. In the engine, components such as injectors, cylinder heads, camshafts, valves, pistons and crankshafts have been redesigned to meet emissions norms and noise regulations. In terms of electronics, Anti-lift control has been added to minimise front-wheel lift during acceleration. Additionally, Roll Torque control uses an IMU and wheel-speed sensors to detect vehicle posture and speed, controlling rear-wheel power and torque based on the bike’s lean angle and wheel rotation. This system optimises acceleration out of corners. Traction control, Anti-lift control and Roll Torque control are said to operate in coordination as the “Smart TLR System”.

The updated TVS X on display was sporting 14-inch wheels with the tyres painted red. TVS has also added Android Auto integration to the e-scooter’s large 10.25-inch TFT display, which should enhance usability. 

The TVS M1-S is a new electric maxi-scooter that utilises a 4.3kWh battery pack powering a 12.5kW motor. The scooter is claimed to have 150km of range, a 0-50kph acceleration time of 3.7 seconds, a top speed of 105kph and a charging time of three hours for a full charge with its built-in onboard charger.

The e.FX.30 is an electric naked motorcycle concept, which, TVS says, has a next-gen electric powertrain. For now, not many details are available, but we can see a camera mounted at the front with unique DRLs surrounding it, and it uses a belt drive system.
