EICMA 2025 wrapped up in Milan with a wave of exciting new motorcycles. From Italian hooligans to compact ADVs and the latest electric tech, the 2026 riding season looks packed with promise.

Here are five bikes we can’t stop talking about — and how likely it is that Canadian riders will see them in dealerships by spring 2026.

1) Ducati Hypermotard V2

Why it matters:

Ducati’s wild Hypermotard returns leaner, meaner, and more powerful. The new V2 packs an 890 cc L-twin producing around 120 hp, a lighter chassis, and updated electronics inspired by the SP.

Our take:

It’s still the ultimate “ride like you stole it” machine — just with more control and less weight.

Chance of Canadian availability:

✅ High (≈ 85%) — Ducati Canada already lists it as a MY26 model, so expect dealer arrivals in early spring.

2) Honda WN7 Electric

Why it matters:

Honda’s first full-size electric motorcycle — sleek, quiet, and surprisingly punchy. With ~67 hp, 100 Nm of torque, and a 9.3 kWh battery, the WN7 is aimed at daily riders and short-range commuters.

Our take:

It’s a big step toward mainstream electric adoption, but range and charging networks will define its success here.

Chance of Canadian availability:

⚖️ Moderate (≈ 50%) — Global debut confirmed, but North American timelines remain open. Could arrive late 2026.

3) BMW F 450 GS

Why it matters:

A long-rumoured lightweight ADV from BMW Motorrad. Built around a 420 cc parallel-twin with 21”/17” wheels, the F 450 GS is designed for new-age adventure riders who want something nimble and approachable.

Our take:

This could be the next “do-everything” bike for Canadian backroads — if it lands in time.

Chance of Canadian availability:

⚙️ Moderate (≈ 50%) — Global launch planned for April 2026, but Canada may trail Europe.

4) Royal Enfield Bullet 650

Why it matters:

Marking 125 years of Royal Enfield, the Bullet 650 joins the Interceptor and Super Meteor on the brand’s 650 twin platform. It’s all the classic looks with modern reliability and torque-rich character.

Our take:

Simple, stylish, and built to cruise — this might be the most affordable way to own a retro twin in 2026.

Chance of Canadian availability:

🔥 Moderate-to-High (≈ 65%) — North American rollout confirmed, and Royal Enfield Canada already has strong dealer coverage.

5) MV Agusta Brutale Serie Oro

Why it matters:

A show-stopper in true MV fashion. The Serie Oro features the new 931 cc “950 EVO” engine, 148 hp, and a mix of carbon fibre, billet aluminum, and Italian drama — limited to just 300 units worldwide.

Our take:

Exotic, exclusive, and stunning — but it’s more likely to be parked in a collector’s garage than your local dealer.

Chance of Canadian availability:

🚫 Low (≈ 20%) — Limited production and low allocation make an early 2026 arrival unlikely.

📊 Quick Recap

🏁 Final Thoughts

EICMA 2025 proves that the 2026 riding season will have something for every kind of rider — from lightweight ADVs to premium Italian machines and even full-electric commuters.

While Canada may see staggered release dates, there’s plenty to look forward to as manufacturers continue to expand availability north of the border.
