Ducati

It was in September that Ducati announced it will reveal/launch five new motorcycles till the year ends and while the Italian brand has already showcased the updated Multistrada V4 range, Panigale V4 range and some new models of the Scrambler 2G, the company is yet to reveal two more models, which will break cover at EICMA 2024. One could be an updated version of a new Scrambler Desert Sled and the other could be an update to an existing model or a new motorcycle altogether.

Aprilia

Aprilia has teased the Tuono 457 and we have spyshots of a Tuareg 457 in Rally guise, so these are the two big unveils that we expect from the Italian motorcycle manufacturer. The good news is that Aprilia already manufactures the RS 457 in India and there could be every possibility that these two models are made here at the company’s plant in Baramati, Maharashtra. This will not only keep the costs in check but also ensure that these two motorcycles could be launched in India soon.

BMW Motorrad

BMW Motorrad is making a comeback at EICMA after a gap of 3-4 years. The German brand has already revealed the 2025 S 1000 RR, M1000 RR and the S 1000 R sportbikes for global markets and all three motorcycles will be showcased at EICMA 2024. In addition to the superbikes, BMW Motorrad might also showcase new 1300 cc models like the M 1300 GS, a more powerful and lighter model of the R 1300 GS and the R 1300 RT. Expect BMW to showcase the R20 concept or a near-production model of the new roadster.
