The 83rd EICMA International Motorcycle Exhibition, held November 3 to 8, 2026, featured new models from multiple manufacturers, including Honda, Royal Enfield, Ducati, CFMoto, Yamaha, Zontes and Harley-Davidson. The 2026 edition is the largest ever held at Fiera Milano Rho.

Why it matters

The show gives riders an early look at new adventure, mid-size and entry-level models across several engine classes and markets. Harley-Davidson's Sprint 440, developed with India's Hero MotoCorp, points to continued cross-border partnerships in the industry.

The Honda CRF1150L Africa Twin produces 119hp and 119Nm from a 1,131cc parallel-twin, while the Zontes ZT853-R delivers 150hp and 90Nm from an 847cc three-cylinder. The Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 is its maker's first 750cc motorcycle, with a 743cc parallel-twin producing 63Nm.

Roadmap

The 2026 EICMA show is the largest in its history at Fiera Milano Rho, extending the exhibition's long-running role as the industry's main annual preview of new models. The lineup, led by adventure-oriented bikes such as the Africa Twin, DesertX Rally and CFMoto 550MT, reflects continued manufacturer focus on mid-size off-road and touring segments.

Riders considering an adventure or entry-level bike now have several new options to compare on displacement, power and torque. Buyers in markets such as Malaysia should watch for confirmed launch dates and pricing, which have not yet been announced.

The takeaway

Compare engine size, power and torque across new models before deciding, since several of these bikes target different riding styles. Check local dealer availability once regional pricing is announced.
