EICMA 2025: Aprilia RS 457 GP Replica Revealed

Aprilia has expanded its range of MotoGP-inspired two-wheelers with the unveiling of the RS 457 GP Replica at EICMA 2025. The new edition follows the same pattern as the SR-GP Replica 175, which was launched in the Indian market earlier this year. This edition essentially brings race-bike styling cues to Aprilia’s most accessible parallel-twin motorcycles.

At first glance, it may seem to be mirroring the standard striped colour scheme, but a closer look reveals several details that set it apart. The RS 457 GP Replica sports the official RS-GP MotoGP team livery, finished in a mix of glossy and matte paintwork across different panels. The fairing and bodywork are adorned with factory sponsor decals with red and silver accents. 

 

As standard, the GP Replica edition includes a pillion seat cowl and a bidirectional quickshifter, both of which are offered as accessories on the standard model. Aprilia has also made a subtle change to the braking setup, with front brake pads featuring a higher friction compound to deliver stronger initial bite and improved braking consistency.

2025 Ducati Multistrada V4 Pikes Peak Launched In India 1

The updated Multistrada V4 Pikes Peak continues with the 1,158 cc V4 Granturismo engine, which is E20-compliant and shared with the rest of the Multistrada range. The engine produces 168 bhp at 10,750 rpm and 123.8 Nm of peak torque. It also incorporates the cylinder deactivation system introduced with the updated standard Multistrada V4, which shuts off the rear cylinder bank at low speeds to help reduce heat and improve efficiency. It reactivates when power is needed.

 

The Multistrada V4 Pikes Peak has a familiar design language of the Multistrada family, while the update brings along a few visual updates. The motorcycle is finished in a new “Pikes Peak” livery, which takes inspiration from Ducati’s MotoGP, Superbike, and Motocross machines, complete with number panels on the side fairings. Additional design details include carbon-fibre components, a titanium Akrapovic exhaust, a low-smoke windscreen, and gold-anodised Ohlins fork tubes. The seat design incorporates the V4 logo and a Ducati Corse emblem on the front cowl.

The Multistrada V4 Pikes Peak gets revised ergonomics compared to the standard model. The footpegs are placed higher and further back, while the handlebars are lower, narrower, and have a flatter bend. 

 

One of the key differences in the Multistrada V4 Pikes Peak lies in its premium hardware. The bike is equipped with Ohlins Smart EC 2.0 electronic suspension. Similar to the setup on the Panigale V4 S and Streetfighter V4 S, this automatically adjusts damping based on rider inputs and real-time conditions. Braking components include dual 330 mm front discs and a 280 mm rear disc. It rides on a 17-inch front wheel and gets a single-sided swingarm, both of which distinguish it within the lineup.

The new Pikes Peak also sports an upgraded suite of electronic systems. Working with a six-axis inertial platform, Ducati has added a new DVO (Ducati Vehicle Observer) feature that can simulate data from up to 70 virtual sensors. This is claimed to provide a refined operation of systems such as Cornering ABS, Ducati Wheelie Control (DWC), and Ducati Traction Control (DTC). The package also includes Engine Brake Control (EBC) with three adjustment levels and an Electronic Combined Braking System.

 

As standard, the Pikes Peak is equipped with radar-based rider assistance features, including Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Blind Spot Detection (BSD), and a new Forward Collision Warning (FCW) function. Additional features include Ducati Cornering Lights (DCL) and a 6.5-inch colour TFT display with an updated interface that allows riders to adjust suspension settings independently.

Honda Showcases New Hybrid And EV Technologies For Models Due By 2030

Honda recently hosted an automotive technology workshop for a select media group at its R&D centre at Tochigi, near Tokyo. It offered a detailed glimpse into the next-generation technologies set to power its vehicles scheduled for release in the second half of this decade. Broadly, these include a platform for future small and mid-size petrol/electric hybrids (including the next-gen City and Elevate), a new strong hybrid system for larger models (CR-V and above) and technologies for compact electric cars previewed by the Super One concept at the just-concluded 2025 Japan Mobility Show (JMS).

While the new ‘big’ hybrid platform improves efficiency, performance, and packaging flexibility the next-gen hybrid system is aimed to deliver better performance and superior towing capability than standard gasoline cars, while improving fuel economy.

 

honda super one ev prototype carandbike 1

Super-ONE prototype built to demonstrate how EVs can be distinctive and fun.

 

Interestingly, even the Super-ONE Prototype, which signalled Honda's intent to provide feasible urban mobility option gave a sense of the nimbleness and agility akin to a ‘hot hatch’.

 

Next-Generation Honda Midsize Platform

This new platform is work-in-progress to realise increased body rigidity while reducing weight. A high level modular architecture will enable greater parts commonality and control production costs, says Honda. This will enhance the “joy of driving” – something that the car maker was historically known for.

 

Honda claims to have created a benchmark for driving stability with this shift to rigidity management. This will dramatically enhance vehicle performance. With optimised body rigidity, overall weight can now be reduced by using suitable material at specific places. Also, Honda engineers are said to have developed a technique that allows the body to flex, marginally, under limits. This will help the car can control the load on each tyre, eg. during cornering, for better grip. This new platform is thus 90 kg lighter than Honda's current architecture. This will mean better fuel economy and a more responsive feel.

 

honda new midsize platform carandbike 1

Lightweight midsize platform promises to boost performance and efficiency.

 

The design separates modules like the engine room (which can be common across cars) from say, rear cabin. In fact, it is aiming for over 60 per cent parts commonality across all models that will use this platform thus reducing development as well as eventual production costs.

 

Some of the advanced systems incorporated include Motion Management System, which employs tech from Honda's robotics development and enables vehicle control systems to match driver's intent. Agile Handling Assist (AHA) that builds on the electronics control systems currently used in models such as the Accord and Prelude, and a new pitch control technology that supports faster cornering regardless of road conditions.

Next-Generation Honda Large Hybrid System

This is more for the US market. This system will allow more powerful driving performance with higher towing capacity, which is commonly needed there. All of these while keeping emissions in check, which is one of the issues highlighted with current lot of big, popular American SUVs and pick-ups.

 

honda hybrid system carandbike 2

New hybrid system for big Hondas tuned to deliver punchy performance.

 

For this, Honda has developed a new V6 engine that can meet future environmental regulations while offering a higher fuel efficiency resulting in fewer fuel stops. For this it will also offer new electric drive units and a battery pack engineered for better range than on current models. Also, cost-effectiveness. Honda says the aim is to improve acceleration by 10 per cent and fuel efficiency by 30 per cent.

 

Honda Compact EVs

The Japanese car maker’s first production EV was the Honda e based on the Urban EV concept. Last year it showcased a compact production EV that was meant for commercial purpose. Called N-VAN e:, it was built on a Kei car platform (sub 3.5m long) with the same name. But the Super One concept that debuted this year at the JMS, takes this a bit further and also showcases Honda’s intent of making a significantly different urban EV that doesn’t look like a me-too effort.

 

The production model, built under the "e: Dash BOOSTER” concept, is designed to transform daily travel into an exhilarating and uplifting experience by offering an enjoyable drive complete with simulated noise. Honda hopes to take it to showrooms in Japan by as early as 2026. This will be followed by launches in the UK and other Asian countries where demand for nimble, small EVs is high. Currently, India is not on the agenda with this one.

 

honda super one ev prototype carandbike 2

Super-ONE hatchback is currently not on the agenda for India.

 

A lightweight body and ICE-inspired drive were highlights of the pre-production model that we drove. While battery tech will be core to this like an EV, Honda engineers seem to have not compromised on drive dynamics. The key structural elements that they have focused on include an optimised body that is built upon a lightweight foundation of its previous N Series platform. Honda claims this will be the lightest body in the A segment. It uses a dedicated chassis with widened tread and fenders for stability. Also, lower centre of gravity compared to a similarly proportioned ICE car as the heaviest component – a slim battery pack – sits low and centrally in the underbody.

 

The Super-ONE features a "Boost Mode”. This instantly increases power output on demand, unleashing the full performance potential of the power unit. For effect, a simulated 7-speed transmission effect is generated alongside a powerful engine ‘sound’. The gearshift feel does mimic a conventional automatic. It calculates simulated engine speed (estimated RPM) and gear positions in real-time based on accelerator position and driving conditions. The simulation goes 4D by reproducing the physical feedback of a traditional vehicle, including the "kickdown" shock not only during acceleration but also while decelerating – similar to engine-braking.

 

Future’s Joyful?

We’d like to believe so. Honda is trying to improve all aspects of its hybrid system and the EV platform, with a plan to start adopting them from a group of next-generation models to be introduced globally from 2027 onwards. As mentioned on carandbike.com earlier, India is now one of the three focus markets for Honda alongside Japan and the USA. A total of 10 new models are earmarked for launch in the next few years with 7 of them being SUVs. These will be a mix of global imports as well as made-for-India models that will be manufactured in India.

 

Honda 0 alpha electric SUV confirmed for India launch in 2027 japan mobility show carandbike 1

Production version of 0 Alpha will be launched in India in 2027.

 

We are given to believe that some technologies on display at the Tech Day, such as the H-RV small hybrid system and products such as Prelude sportscar may have a chance on being seen on Indian roads in the future soon. The latter more of a halo product approach rather than any number game. Moreover, the Tech Day displays must give hope to hardcore Honda fans who might be ruing the ‘domestication’ of the Japanese brand that was born out of a love for performance. Although the action starts only in 2027, Honda is one brand to watch out for. As they say, better late than never.

EICMA 2025: 2026 MV Agusta Brutale Serie Oro Unveiled

MV Agusta has taken the wraps off the limited edition 2026 Brutale Serie Oro, which features the latest-generation three-cylinder 950 Evo engine platform. The 931cc three-cylinder engine with counter rotating crankshaft was created for the Enduro Veloce, but has been heavily re-engineered before being fitted into the frame of the Brutale Serie Oro. Along with the new engine, the 2026 MV Agusta Brutale Serie Oro also sports a new swingarm, as well as top-spec components, including Ohlins suspension and Brembo Hypure front calipers.

 

BRUTALE SERIE ORO MY 26 4565

A new head to the 950 Evo, new ducts, new Termignoni exhaust all work together to achieve 148 bhp at 11,200 rpm and peak torque of 107 Nm at 8,400 rpm. According to MV Agusta, 85 per cent of the torque is available at 3,500 rpm. There’s a new slipper and torque-assist clutch to reduce lever effort, and there’s a refined quickshifter for faster, smoother gear changes.

BRUTALE SERIE ORO MY 26 3698

The mixed structure frame with tubular trellis and aluminium side plates remain unchanged, while the steering angle has been opened by one degree and softened in flexibility for better handling. The single-sided swingarm has been lengthened by 30 mm, and forged wheels, Ohlins suspension with NIX 30 fork, and TTX 36 monoshock take care of suspension duties.

 

BRUTALE SERIE ORO MY 26 7136 11

The new 5-inch TFT display is connected and offers turn-by-turn navigation and five customisable riding modes – Rain, Urban, Sport, Race and Custom. The cornering ABS modes, traction levels and throttle response can also be customised. Only 300 units of the MV Agusta Brutale Serie Oro will be produced in Varese, Italy.

Moto Morini Kanguro 300 Dual-Sport Unveiled At EICMA 2025

Moto Morini has brought back one of its beloved historic models, the Kanguro to the EICMA 2025, but in a modern, dual-sport avatar. With its slim profile and definite design nod to the 1980s, the Moto Morini Kanguro 300 intends to offer versatility and accessibility in a dual-sport adventure format – which sounds perfect for beginner ADV riders in our part of the world. With a 300cc single-cylinder engine rated at 33.5 bhp and 27 Nm, it promises to be fun, yet not quite overwhelming.

 

Moto Morini Kanguro 300 m2

The Kanguro 300 is built around a frame made of steel, with an aluminium swingarm and rear subframe. It runs on a 21-inch front and 18-inch rear wire-spoke wheel set-up suspended from a 41 mm fork and a shock absorber at the rear with progressive linkage. Wheel travel at both ends is a decent 250 mm, and the ABS is switchable for slightly more adventurous riders who would want to lock up the rear wheel on dirt for more control, and more fun!

 

Moto Morini Kanguro 300 m1

The Moto Morini Kanguro 300 will be offered in two versions – a base version with a high-mounted front fender, and a Rally version with a low fender and compact windshield. Kerb weight is pretty low with 145 kg for the base variant, and 153 kg for the Rally variant. Seat height is somewhat tall, at 880 mm. Moto Morini says the Kanguro 300 will be launched in the second half of 2026. 

 

Moto Morini Kanguro 300 m4

The original Moto Morini Kanguro was released in 1983 with a 350cc engine, followed by a cruiser version three years later in both 350cc and 500cc engine options, called the Excalibur.  

 

Moto Morini Kanguro 300 m3

The new Moto Morini Kanguro 300 has nailed the dual-sport look to the T, and with its lightweight construction and off-road ready hardware, it looks set to fuel the off-road dreams of many a beginner off-road rider around the world. The question now is – will it come to India? And if it does, will it generate interest in a market where enduro and dual-sport machines seem to be getting increasing attention these days.

Royal Enfield Bullet 650 Unveiled At EICMA 2025

Royal Enfield has taken the covers off the new Bullet 650, a 650cc addition to the iconic Royal Enfield Bullet model. The new Bullet 650 is based on the Royal Enfield Classic 650 and is the latest model to expand on the 650 Twins platform, first introduced in 2018 with the Interceptor 650 and the Continental GT 650. Although based on the Classic 650, the Bullet 650 has its distinctive elements, giving it its own identity as a ‘Bullet.’

Royal Enfield Bullet 600 m2

The overall design takes inspiration from the iconic Bullet 350, Royal Enfield’s longest running model in the brand’s modern history, complete with the metallic Royal Enfield tank badge, hand-painted pin-striping on the bodywork and signature “tiger eyes” pilot lamps on the headlight assembly.

 

Also Read: Royal Enfield Bullet 650 To Be Unveiled On Nov 4

Royal Enfield Bullet 600 m6

The side panels are signature ‘Bullet’ styling, and the single-piece seat is also a nod to its Bullet lineage. The instrument console is identical to the Classic 650, with the same analogue speedometer with a small digital screen with a fuel gauge, tripmeter and odometer. A Tripper navigation pod offers turn-by-turn navigation. 

 

Royal Enfield Bullet 600 m5

The new Royal Enfield Bullet 650 is powered by the same 648cc, air and oil-cooled, parallel-twin SOHC engine which produces 46.4 bhp at 7,250 rpm and 52.3 Nm of peak torque at 5,650 rpm. The engine is paired to a 6-speed gearbox with a slip and assist clutch which are also retained from the Classic 650. 

Royal Enfield Bullet 600 m3

Like the Classic 650, the Bullet 650 is also built around the same steel tubular spine frame with a 43 mm telescopic front fork with 120 mm wheel travel and twin rear shocks with 90 mm rear wheel travel. Dual-channel ABS is standard, and the Bullet 350 also runs on a 19-inch front and 18-inch rear wheel combination. Kerb weight is 243 kg with 90 per cent fuel and oil, identical to the Classic 650, and so is the 154 mm ground clearance and 14.8-litre fuel tank capacity.

 

Royal Enfield Bullet 600 m4

The new Royal Enfield Bullet 650 has been unveiled in two colour options - Cannon Black and Battleship Blue. Prices for the new Royal Enfield Bullet 650 are expected to be announced at MotoVerse 2025, Royal Enfield’s annual festival in Goa later this month. We expect prices for the Bullet 650 to begin at around Rs. 3.75 lakh (Ex-showroom).
