The premium motorcycle market in India has grown steadily over the past few years. There are many new and special bikes coming for the bike lovers in the new year. BMW will be making a comeback in the entry-level adventure bike segment, while Royal Enfield is going to start a new chapter for its oldest and most famous Bullet. Also, with support from TVS, Norton is trying to re-establish its presence across the globe. Here we tell you which premium bikes will hit India in early 2026.
BMW F 450 GS
Currently, BMW Motorrad does not have any entry-level adventure (ADV) bike in India, but BMW is soon going to fill this gap with the launch of the F 450 GS. The bike was officially showcased at EICMA 2025. Its production has started at TVS Motor Company’s plant in Hosur near Chennai. The bike will get a new 420 cc parallel-twin engine, which will later form the basis of BMW’s entry-level bikes. The design of the BMW F 450 GS is quite aggressive, with sharp looks and X-shaped quad-LED DRLs.
Royal Enfield Bullet 650
Royal Enfield is going to introduce its iconic Bullet in a new form. The Bullet 650 was shown at EICMA 2025 (Milan, Italy). The bike will retain the old classic looks, but will come with more power and greater road presence. This will be for those who want a more powerful bike than the 350 cc Bullet. The Bullet 650 will get a 647.9 cc air/oil-cooled parallel-twin engine, which is also available in the Interceptor and Continental GT.
Norton Atlas
Britain’s famous bike company Norton has now entered a new era under TVS Motor Company. Norton has already given a glimpse of several new bikes to be launched in 2026. For its global comeback, Norton will launch the Atlas ADV bike in India by June-July 2026. The bike will be manufactured at TVS’s Hosur plant in India and will be the entry-level bike in Norton’s global range. The Norton Atlas will get a 585 cc parallel-twin engine with a 270-degree crank. It will come with a 6-speed gearbox and a quickshifter. It is expected to deliver around 50 bhp of power and 55 Nm of torque.
