18 bikes and scooters headed to India, with dates and prices
EICMA 2026, the Milan motorcycle show, ended on November 8. Press days were November 3 and 4, and the show gave Indian riders their first look at the next wave of bikes and scooters headed this way. India played a bigger role than usual. Royal Enfield, Hero, TVS, Harley-Davidson (built by Hero), BMW (built by TVS) and Norton (owned by TVS) all showed India-made or India-linked models. Italjet also confirmed its India entry.
Not every model on show is coming to India. Some have launch dates, some arrive in Europe first, and a few are still guesses. This guide sorts all 18 into groups so you know what to expect.
The show is over, but the India launches are still ahead. Royal Enfield's Motoverse runs November 27 to 29 in Goa, and India Bike Week runs December 4 and 5 in Panchgani, Maharashtra. The Update Log at the end shows the latest changes.
