I plan to upgrade to a twin-cylinder bike next year from my current ADV 390. I do long tours twice a year and many short/overnight rides throughout the year. However, I don’t see any twin-cylinder offering in the touring category that excites me. I’m looking for a bike in the 500-600 cc segment. Are there any exciting launches scheduled next year that are worth waiting for?

The BMW F 450 GS will be launched in India next year. It gets a 420cc, twin-cylinder engine putting out 48hp. Additionally, the Norton Atlas and Norton Atlas GT will also make their way to our market next year.

The Atlas adventure bike is the more accessible model in the new Norton line-up, and powering these bikes is a 585cc parallel-twin liquid-cooled engine that is said to make around 70hp. Make sure to test ride both machines when they are launched before making a purchase.
