Eicma 2026 was held for its 83rd edition and stood out as the largest in its history, featuring 765 exhibitors, 2,142 brands from 52 countries, and covering an area of 300,000 square meters distributed across ten pavilions in the Rho complex in Milan. This space represents an increase compared to 2025 and is the largest used by the Italian fair, with 74% of the present brands being foreign.
The event, considered the largest two-wheeled fair in Europe, brought several relevant novelties for both the global and national markets. Although many models displayed in Milan may have potential to reach Brazil, so far, only two brands have confirmed the arrival of models for the country.
News for the Brazilian Market
The most direct confirmation for the Brazilian public came through an Instagram post. Rider Leandro Melo, in a post recorded during Eicma, alongside the official profiles of Kawasaki Brasil and Sonia Harue, announced three models destined for Brazil: KLE 650, Versys 900, and KX 327. Details regarding prices or deadlines were not disclosed.
These three models are recent launches from the brand. The Versys 900 is a crossover that fills the gap between the Versys 650 and the Versys 1100, equipped with four cylinders, 122 hp, and 9.9 kgfm. The KLE 650 is an adventure bike with a parallel twin engine, reviving an old nomenclature, positioned above the KLE 500 and expected in Europe in early 2027.
The KX 327 is notable for being a two-stroke motorcycle with a 327 cm³ single cylinder, liquid-cooled, and using electronic injection instead of a carburetor, focused on off-road use. It is the first two-stroke above 250 cm³ developed by Kawasaki in approximately two decades.
International Models Highlighted
The Chinese-controlled Italian company exhibited two adventure bikes in Milan, with the smaller one, the Coguaro, confirmed for delivery to Brazil, according to Motociclismo at Eicma 2026. Its price or schedule has not yet been defined. The Coguaro is an entry-level enduro that shares a platform with the Kanguro 300, featuring a reinforced rear rack for passengers and luggage, in addition to a repositioned tank. Its engine is a 292.4 cm³ single cylinder, DOHC, liquid-cooled, producing 34 hp at 9,000 rpm and 2.75 kgfm at 8,500 rpm, complying with Euro 5+ standards and having a declared top speed of 145 km/h.
In terms of specifications, the Coguaro follows the enduro standard, with 21 and 18-inch wheels, a conventional 37 mm fork with 230 mm travel, a 230 mm Pro-Link rear suspension, a ground clearance of 255 mm, a seat height of 845 mm, a dry weight of 160 kg, a 14-liter tank, and switchable ABS. In the 300 cm³ segment with a 21-inch wheel, its main competitor in Brazil is the Honda Sahara 300.
The Camel is presented as the main bet, being a 670 cm³ maxitrail that revives the name of the twin-cylinder bike from the 1980s that participated in the Paris-Dakar. It generates 81.5 hp at 10,000 rpm and 7.1 kg.m at 7,000 rpm, and has a reduced power version for the A2 category in Europe. Its chrome-molybdenum steel trellis frame includes an aluminum swingarm, 48 mm inverted fork, 250 mm travel on both ends, 280 mm ground clearance, 850 mm seat height, Brembo brakes (two 300 mm discs in the front and 255 mm in the rear), a 20-liter tank, and a dry weight of 200 kg. The Camel did not receive confirmation for Brazil.
The Africa Twin received its biggest revision since the CRF1000L, which occurred ten years prior. The parallel twin was increased to 1,131 cm³, with a 94 mm bore and a compression ratio of 12.1:1, delivering 119 hp and 12.1 kgfm. The frame and rear swingarm became 1.4 kg lighter, and the tank was redesigned to extend partially under the seat, aiming to reduce the center of gravity. The Showa EERA suspension now incorporates the Skyhook Control system, and the dashboard features two screens, 5.7 and 7 inches, supporting wireless CarPlay and Android Auto.
There are three versions of the Africa Twin with the same engine, frame, and electronics, differentiated by front wheel, suspension, weight, and tank. The standard version uses a 21-inch wheel, an 18.8-liter tank, and weighs 237 kg. The Adventure Sports comes with a 19-inch wheel, a 24.2-liter tank—offering an estimated range of 480 km according to Honda—and weighs 245 kg. The Honda Sensing Ride variant is the first bike from the brand with a rider assistance package, including a DCT gearbox and two radars for adaptive cruise control, collision warning, and blind spot detection, but it reaches 256 kg, almost 30 kg heavier than the lightest version in the line. The Enduro Sports, aimed at off-road, weighs 228 kg, has mechanical suspension of 240 mm (front) and 230 mm (rear), 260 mm ground clearance, a manual gearbox, and HRC tricolor paint, without the adjustable windscreen of the others.
The CBR1000RR-R Fireblade 2027 was also reformulated, with Honda stating that about 75% of the components were changed. Power remains at 217 hp, but the peak torque of 11.6 kgfm is now reached at 10,500 rpm, 1,500 rpm earlier than the 2024 model, aided by variable intake trumpets. The bike weighs 199 kg with a full tank, presents greater front load (53.3% vs. 52.8%), a frame with 20% less lateral rigidity, and a shorter swingarm. The design eliminates winglets, maintaining aerodynamic load with sidepods on the lower part of the fairing. Besides the standard version, there are the SP variants, with semi-active Öhlins S-EC 3.0 suspension, and the HRC Works Edition, intended for the track, with adjustable steering angle and swingarm pivot.
The stand also displayed the V3R 900 E-Compressor, a planned production model with a V-triple engine and what Honda describes as the world's first electronically controlled compressor for motorcycles, according to the manufacturer's own research.
Other motorcycles presented include the ADV125, with a 125 cm³ eSP+ engine and a 5-inch TFT display; the CBR500R Four, equipped with a four-cylinder engine and E-Clutch electronic clutch; the RN0, the brand's first off-road electric bicycle, developed with ROTWILD; and the EV Outlier and Onitsuka Tiger Honda Mid Sports concepts.
Yamaha Innovations
Yamaha focused on a new category in Milan with the RW series, which blends scooter and trail characteristics: flexible riding, long-travel suspension, off-road tires, and foldable foot platforms.
The RW700 uses the 689 cm³ CP2 twin, generating 69.3 hp and 6.6 kgfm, coupled with the Y-AMT automated transmission—the first developed for scooters, with automatic and manual modes controlled by handlebar buttons. It features a six-axis IMU, Road and Gravel riding modes, traction, slip, and braking controls, a 41 mm inverted fork with 160 mm travel, a 155 mm monoshock, switchable rear ABS, 17 and 15-inch spoked wheels with Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR tires, and 170 mm ground clearance. The Explore version adds adjustable fork, heated grips and seat, a center stand, and illuminated controls.
The RW350 introduces a 327 cm³ single cylinder producing 29.2 hp at 7,000 rpm and 3.2 kgfm at 5,750 rpm, along with the Yamaha Dynamic Ride architecture: the engine is rigidly fixed to the chassis, without rubber mounts, allowing only the CVT unit to oscillate. It also features a six-axis IMU, electronic throttle, traction control, cruise control, a 5-inch TFT display, and 185 mm ground clearance.
In the electric segment, the NMAX E employs the new A1 EV platform, with a 3.5 kWh lithium battery, a 7.5 kW (approximately 10 hp) motor, and 3.4 kgfm, an 800 W onboard charger, and a range of up to 104 km in the WMTC cycle. Yamaha compares it to a gasoline 125. The XENTER E follows the same concept, with 16-inch wheels and a 108 km WMTC range. The NMAX E is scheduled to arrive in European spring 2027, with production in Vietnam.
Royal Enfield Presents Novelties
Royal Enfield used Milan to showcase the project that will sustain its next phase: a 743 cm³ parallel twin, the largest displacement ever used by the brand, which will be launched simultaneously in two models: the Himalayan 750 adventure bike and the Continental GT 750 cafe racer. Previously, the top-of-the-line was the 650 cm³ twin.
This engine generates 55 hp at 7,000 rpm and 6.42 kgfm at 5,000 rpm, with 90% of the torque available from 3,500 rpm, according to Royal Enfield. It uses a six-speed gearbox, assisted and slipper clutch, maintaining air and oil cooling, a less common solution in mid-sized adventures, which are usually liquid-cooled. The manufacturer claims this new unit has the same weight as the 650 cm³ unit.
The Himalayan 750 is the most electronic Royal Enfield to date, offering five riding modes, four levels of traction control, cornering ABS, and inclination-sensitive traction control, all managed by a six-axis IMU, in addition to cruise control and tire pressure monitoring. Its four-inch TFT display includes navigation and two USB-C ports (one of 27 W).
The suspension of the Himalayan 750 is Showa on both sides, with a 43 mm inverted fork and 190 mm travel in the front and 175 mm in the rear, 19 and 17-inch wheels, 280 mm (dual) and 255 mm brakes, a seat height of 815 mm, a ground clearance of 205 mm, a 17.8-liter tank, and a curb weight of 224 kg. With 55 hp for 224 kg, the ratio is considered modest for the category, aligned with the proposal of low torque and trail, but an aspect to consider on roads and with luggage.
The Continental GT 750 uses a revised version of this same engine and was announced as the highest-performing bike in the brand's history, although Royal Enfield has not disclosed power, torque, price, or date, making immediate comparisons with the Himalayan impossible. It will come in two configurations: one without fairings and another faired with a lower handlebar, and will feature intentionally simplified electronics.
The brand also exhibited the Flying Flea S6 electric scrambler, derived from the FF C6, with an unprecedented off-road mode and a projected launch for mid-2027, without providing data on power, battery, or range.
In Europe, the Himalayan 750 is already available for pre-order with prices ranging from € 7,390 (alloy wheels), € 7,790 (spoked wheels), and € 9,290 (Flagship version with Givi panniers). These are European launch prices and do not serve as a conversion reference for Brazil. None of the three models had confirmed arrival in Brazil.
Suzuki and BMW Launches
The GSX-10R is a faired sportbike derived from the GSX-S1000, positioned one level below the GSX-R1000. It retains the K5 999 cm³ engine, now in Euro 5+ configuration, delivering 152 hp and 10.8 kgfm, and weighs 214 kg in running order, with an 18-liter tank and a seat height of 810 mm from the ground. The electronic innovation is Slide Control, which manages rear wheel slip in corners, complemented by Brake Hold, which keeps the bike stationary on inclines. Suzuki reports that there are 15 electronic functions, the highest number ever applied to a brand's motorcycle. The certified fuel consumption is 15.8 km/l (WMTC), and sales will gradually begin from mid-2027.
The SV-7S represents the evolution of the SV650, maintaining the 645 cm³ V-twin, now with 73.4 hp and 6.5 kgfm, in addition to electronic throttle, three riding modes, three levels of traction control, and bidirectional quickshifter. The steel trellis frame and 41 mm fork are maintained. Weighing 200 kg, it has a seat height of 785 mm, a 14-liter tank, and a fuel consumption of 24.4 km/l (WMTC). Its arrival in the European market is expected in spring 2027.
BMW exhibited the M 1000 RS in Milan, which the manufacturer calls the most powerful naked bike in the world. Based on the 999 cm³ engine of the M 1000 RR superbike, it delivers 218 hp and 11.5 kgfm. BMW declares a 0 to 100 km/h time of 3.2 seconds and a top speed of 283 km/h. The bike starts as the M 1000 R with the M Competition package, receiving RR footpegs, a 20 mm higher seat (850 mm), titanium exhaust, carbon winglets, 17-inch M Carbon wheels, and DDC electronic suspension. 1,000 units will be manufactured globally, with sales starting in March 2027, and a price of 40,000 euros in Germany, already including 19% VAT, representing a European market value with no direct link to local cost.
The 1390 Super Duke GT EVO uses the 1,350 cm³ LC8 V-twin, producing 190 hp and 14.8 kgfm, with variable Cam-Shift, WP APEX SAT semi-active suspension with thru-rod fork, Brembo Stylema calipers, and an 8.8-inch touchscreen panel with integrated navigation.
An unexpected launch was the 450 RC, a two-cylinder sportbike scheduled to enter production at the end of 2027 as a 2028 model year. KTM detailed its specifications, including a 43 mm WP APEX inverted fork and swingarm.
