BMW F 450 GS - Adventure Ready
The BMW F 450 GS emerges as a compelling package for Indian riders seeking adventure and versatility. Positioned between lightweight commuters and heavy adventure-tourers, this middleweight ADV promises a balance of off-road capability and city comfort.

Harley-Davidson is reportedly preparing the X440 T, a middleweight cruiser that aims to make the brand more accessible to a younger and budget-conscious segment. Slotted under the premium heavyweight cruisers, this model could bring Harley DNA, with relaxed ergonomics, cruiser stance and characteristic exhaust note, to riders who previously could not afford large-displacement bikes.
Brixton Crossfire 500 Storr - Street Hunter With Flair
The Brixton Crossfire 500 Storr rounds out the upcoming crop with a sharp, street-oriented profile. Built to offer solid mid-range performance, it fits urban and open-road riding alike. Its poised balance between aggressive styling and manageable power could appeal to both emerging enthusiasts and experienced riders looking for an affordable upgrade.

Its younger sibling, the 160 Duke, targets riders who want KTM’s sharp dynamics in a more affordable, everyday-friendly package.

What This Means For Riders In India
