Upcoming bikes we are actually waiting for
Naked StreetBajaj
Bajaj Pulsar N180
The N160 grows up, and dealers are already taking names
- Expected
- Festive season 2026
- Likely price
- ₹1.42 – 1.55 lakh on-road
Two Bajaj dealers in Pune told me the same thing within a week of each other: the N160 has been selling faster than they can stock it, and a bigger version is coming. Test mules have been photographed near Chakan with a wider rear tyre and a taller tank, which lines up with what I saw on the road in July.
Watch for: Ask whether the dual-channel ABS is standard or a variant upgrade before you book.

AdventureHero
Hero Xpulse 300 4V
A bigger Xpulse is the one I am most curious about
- Expected
- Early 2027
- Likely price
- ₹2.35 – 2.55 lakh on-road
I have ridden the 210 on gravel in Kumaon and the only real complaint was the engine running out of breath on long climbs with luggage. A 300cc single with the same 21-inch front wheel and the same soft, forgiving suspension would fix that without ruining what makes the bike likeable.
Watch for: Seat height. Anything above 830 mm and shorter riders will need the low-seat option.

Modern ClassicRoyal Enfield
Royal Enfield Scrambler 450
Himalayan engine, road tyres, less luggage rack
- Expected
- Mid 2026
- Likely price
- ₹2.85 – 3.05 lakh on-road
Royal Enfield has an excellent liquid-cooled 452cc motor sitting in the Himalayan and no reason to keep it there. A scrambler using the same engine with a 19-inch front wheel, shorter suspension and a flat seat is the obvious next move, and camouflaged bikes have been doing rounds in Chennai traffic since spring.
Watch for: Service cost per visit — the 452 motor needs different oil and a slightly pricier filter.

Naked PerformanceTVS
TVS Apache RTR 310 (updated)
Mostly software, and that is not a bad thing
- Expected
- Late 2026
- Likely price
- ₹3.10 – 3.30 lakh on-road
The current RTR 310 is quick and well built, but two owners I spoke to at a Hosur meet complained about heat in stop-start traffic and a throttle that felt jumpy in rain mode. TVS has been quietly reworking the fuelling maps, and an updated model with better low-speed manners is expected before the year closes.
Watch for: Whether existing owners get the new fuelling map as a free dealer update.
Read the full news piece →
Modern ClassicHonda
Honda CB500
A proper big single, built in India and priced closer to a 350
- Expected
- October–December 2026
- Likely price
- ₹2.97 – 3.26 lakh on-road
Honda has already done the important bit: the CB500 is official, made in India and priced. The alloy-wheel version is listed at ₹2.75 lakh ex-showroom, while the two spoke-wheel versions sit at ₹2.99 lakh and ₹3.019 lakh. Honda says full specifications and deliveries will be opened in stages during the third and fourth quarters of FY 2026–27, so this is an announced motorcycle waiting for showroom stock rather than a test-mule rumour.
Watch for: Vibration at 90–110 km/h and the exact service cost quoted for the new 501cc engine.
Read the full news piece →
Adventure TouringRoyal Enfield
Royal Enfield Himalayan 750
The Himalayan gets the twin-cylinder legs long-distance riders kept asking for
- Expected
- First quarter of 2027
- Likely price
- ₹4.50 – 5.00 lakh on-road
Royal Enfield showed the pre-production Himalayan 750 in Ladakh in September, which ended months of guessing about whether the big Himalayan was real. It is noticeably broader and more touring-focused than the 450, with a taller screen, fuller tank area and 19-inch front wheel on the display bike. The expected production reveal is around EICMA 2026, followed by an Indian launch in early 2027.
Watch for: Final kerb weight, low-speed heat and whether cross-spoke tubeless wheels are available from launch.
