EICMA 2026: A First Look at What will come to Bridge in 2027
The bikes of tomorrow are starting to arrive — and EICMA 2026 has given us plenty to look forward to.
With the world’s motorcycle industry gathered in Milan this week, the covers have been coming off some seriously exciting new models for 2027. From adventure bikes and superbikes to everyday scooters and a new generation of electric Vespas, there’s plenty on the horizon.
As a Bridge Motorcycles customer, you’ll be seeing many of these brands and models here in the showroom over the year ahead, so we’ve picked out some of the highlights from the manufacturers we know you’ll be interested in.
Honda: a new chapter for the Africa Twin
One of the biggest stories from Honda is undoubtedly the completely reworked 27YM Africa Twin range.
Honda has given the Africa Twin a major overhaul, including a new 1,150cc engine, updated chassis and ergonomics, refreshed styling and a host of new technology. The range is now more clearly split into different versions, including the all-new CRF1150L Enduro Sports, Africa Twin, Adventure Sports and the new Africa Twin Adventure Sports SENSING RIDE DCT.
It’s a big evolution for one of Honda’s best-known adventure bikes, with the new range designed to cater for everything from more focused off-road riding to long-distance touring.
There’s more from Honda too. The new ADV125 brings the styling and attitude of Honda’s larger ADV family into a compact, urban-friendly package, while the SH350i heads into 2027 with updated colours and technology.
And for those who prefer their riding a little more focused, Honda has also unveiled the latest CBR1000RR-R Fireblade, including Standard, SP and HRC Works Edition versions.
The new Africa Twin range is expected to begin arriving from March and April, with the Fireblade models expected from May — so there’s plenty for Honda fans to look forward to at Bridge.
Suzuki: two brand-new names for 2027
Suzuki has brought two all-new models to EICMA 2026, both offering something a little different.
First up is the GSX-10R, a new full-fairing sportbike sitting below the GSX-R1000 in Suzuki’s line-up. It combines the familiar 999cc four-cylinder engine with a host of modern electronics and a completely new design, including aerodynamic winglets.
Alongside it comes the SV-7S, which takes the spirit of the much-loved SV650 and brings it into a new generation. It keeps the character of Suzuki’s 645cc V-twin while adding modern electronics, a colour TFT display and a fresh, more contemporary look.
The SV-7S is due to begin arriving from spring 2027, with the GSX-10R following from summer.
Two very different bikes, but both are shaping up to be interesting additions to Suzuki’s 2027 line-up.
Triumph: plenty more to come
Triumph has already been giving us a taste of what’s coming for 2027, with the new Bonneville T40 and T40 Black joining the line-up alongside updates to the Tiger 1200 family.
And the announcements aren’t over yet.
The new Street Triple 798 RS is set for its full reveal on 17 November, followed by the full reveal of the new Tiger 900 on 15 December.
With the Street Triple 798 RS and Tiger 900 still to be fully revealed, there’s plenty more to look forward to from Triumph as we head into 2027. We’ll be keeping you updated as more details are announced and the new models start making their way to the showroom.
Kawasaki: adventure, sport and the return of a legend
Kawasaki has also been busy building its 2027 line-up ahead of and around EICMA.
One of the models we're particularly looking forward to is the new KLE650, bringing a 649cc parallel-twin engine, rally-inspired styling and a more touring-focused character to Kawasaki’s adventure range. There’s also a KLE650 SE version with additional equipment for riders looking for even more long-distance capability.
The Versys 900 and Versys 900 SE also join Kawasaki’s 2027 line-up, giving the popular adventure-tourer family a fresh option.
And then there’s one name that needs very little introduction…
The supercharged Ninja H2 is coming back to the UK for 2027.
Kawasaki has confirmed the return of both the Ninja H2 and limited-edition Ninja H2 Carbon, with the track-only H2R also continuing on an order-only basis. UK numbers are expected to be very limited, making this one particularly worth keeping an eye on.
Piaggio: familiar favourites, refreshed for 2027
Piaggio has used EICMA to give some of its best-known scooters a fresh lease of life.
The Medley and Beverly both receive updates for 2027, bringing refreshed styling, new wheels and updated technology including new colour TFT displays. The Beverly continues with 310 and 400 versions, while the Medley range includes 125 and 200cc options.
And then there’s the return of a name many riders will remember: Piaggio Typhoon.
The new Typhoon 125 brings back the unmistakable character of the original with a modern interpretation, combining its distinctive styling with a 125cc engine, full LED lighting and a 5-inch TFT display.
It’s a great example of how some of the most recognisable names in the Piaggio range can evolve while still keeping the character that made them popular in the first place.
Vespa: the electric range moves forward
Vespa has been looking towards the future too, unveiling its next-generation electric range at EICMA.
The Primavera Elettrica and Sprint S Elettrica continue with Vespa’s instantly recognisable styling but gain a new electric motor designed to improve efficiency and responsiveness, with up to 85km of range in ECO mode and a removable battery.
The Primavera Tech Elettrica takes things a step further, with a 67km/h top speed, up to 100km of range in ECO mode and a new 5-inch TFT display.
Vespa has also continued to evolve its petrol range for 2027, with updates across models including the Primavera and GTS.
It’s another sign of how the iconic Italian brand is adapting to changing city life without losing the design that makes a Vespa instantly recognisable.
And that’s just the beginning…
EICMA always gives us a glimpse at where the motorcycle world is heading, but this year has been particularly interesting for the brands we represent here at Bridge. From Honda’s completely reworked Africa Twin and Fireblade, to Suzuki’s new GSX-10R and SV-7S, Kawasaki’s expanding adventure range and the return of the Ninja H2, there’s plenty happening in the motorcycle world. And if scooters are more your thing, Piaggio and Vespa have plenty of new and updated models heading our way too.
2027 is already looking like a busy year at Bridge Motorcycles.
