The Thanksgiving holiday may still be a few days out, but it’s already time to serve up leftovers. Suffice to say, EICMA 2025 was absolutely overflowing with exciting two-wheeled releases.
As such, even though the show may be in the rearview mirror, we’ve been feeling something akin to a food coma as we try to digest it all.
That’s because, from brand-first adventure bike releases to sporty semi-automated Honda E-Clutch models, there’s a lot to look forward to in the next few months.
Moreover, with experimental electric motocrossers and bewinged superbikes on the horizon, the industry is showing no signs of slowing down.
Norton2026 Norton Atlas
For 2026, Norton is reviving the Atlas name on an all-new middleweight adventure bike. Powered by a 585cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin, it’s rated for 69 horsepower and 42 lb-ft of torque. Along with a striking design, it promises advanced electronics courtesy of its six-axis IMU. What’s more, the bike brings hardware like beefy 310mm front discs, twin LED projector headlights and a trick switch-cube input for menu navigation. With the debut of the Atlas, Norton has also announced the up-spec Apex, a version that heralds electronic linked brakes and heated hand grips.
Moto Morini2026 Moto Morini 3 ½ Sport
The Italy-based, Chinese-owned legacy brand revives this sporty little bike from the ‘70s and updates it with full LED lighting and a TFT display. It still retains much of the classic look, and the engine isn’t all that different either: a 350.3cc liquid-cooled 60-degree V-twin making 32 horsepower at 8,500 rpm and peak torque of 22 lb-ft at 5,500 rpm.
YamahaYamaha YE-01 Prototype
In collaboration with Electric Motion SAS, Yamaha has created an all-electric dirt bike prototype called the YE-01. Set to compete in the forthcoming MXEP series, the bike will aid in the brand’s two-wheeled EV development. Having revolutionized motocross with innovative suspension designs and trick four-stroke tech, this kind of release is par for the course for Yamaha.
