Upcoming Motorcycle Launches

The BMW F 450 GS will compete with entry-level middleweight adventure motorcycles, such as the Honda NX 500 and KTM 390 Adventure. The Norton Atlas will be positioned as a more premium offering. Meanwhile, the Royal Enfield Continental GT 750 has been seen in multiple test runs. Unlike the GT 650, which only differs in color variants, the GT 750 appears to have more significant differences between trims. Recent spy shots show a minimalistic trim lacking a fairing and featuring simpler side panels similar to the GT 650. Another trim, seen earlier, features a Monza-style fairing and round side panels, resembling the GT 750 race bike displayed at EICMA last year.
