What is the story about?
A bunch of new motorcycles are landing in India right now, and the timing matters if you’re planning a purchase. The BMW F 450 GS and the updated Yezdi
Scrambler arrive on April 23, while models like the Royal Enfield Bullet 650 and Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 are not far behind. What this really means is the next few months will bring more choice across segments especially for riders looking at mid-capacity and above. Here are five bikes that are worth keeping an eye on.
Launching Tomorrow: BMW F 450 GS And Yezdi Scrambler
The BMW F 450 GS is finally hitting the market and it’s for riders who want an adventure bike that’s easier to manage than larger GS models. Expect a parallel-twin setup, ride modes and the usual electronics that come with this segment. It’s positioned right between entry-level ADVs and bigger, more expensive options.Alongside it, the Yezdi Scrambler is getting an update. This isn’t a complete overhaul, but more of a correction. Expect improvements in refinement and ride quality, while the overall character stays the same. It continues to target riders who want a mix of road and light off-road capability.
Coming Soon: Royal Enfield Bullet 650 And BSA Scrambler 650
The Royal Enfield Bullet 650 is expected between April and June 2026. It will likely use Royal Enfield’s 648cc twin-cylinder engine but wrapped in a more traditional design. This one is for buyers who want the classic Bullet look but with more performance than the 350.The BSA Scrambler 650 is also expected around the same time. It’s based on the Gold Star platform but adapted into a scrambler format. That means higher ground clearance, different suspension setup as well as a slightly more versatile riding stance.

What’s Next: Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 And Bigger Picture
Looking slightly ahead, the Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 is expected by late 2026 or early 2027. This will sit above the current Himalayan 450 and is likely to focus on long-distance touring with more power and better highway ability.Step back and you’ll notice a pattern. Manufacturers are moving toward bigger engines and more specialised bikes. Instead of one-size-fits-all motorcycles, buyers now get clearer choices based on how and where they ride.
If you’re planning to buy soon, it might be worth waiting a bit. With multiple launches happening close together, you’ll have more options to compare before making a decision.
