Eicma 2026: Honda unveils the future of its motorbike and scooter range

Honda Fireblade: three versions and HRC technology

There is also a significant update for the Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade, developed in close collaboration with Honda Racing Corporation. The supersport bike features changes to its chassis, with a new frame, swingarm and revised geometry to improve stability when entering corners and front-end precision. Weight has also been reduced, thanks to new wheels and a titanium fuel tank. The four-cylinder engine features redesigned pistons, modifications to the valve train and variable-length intake manifolds to improve power delivery at mid-range revs. The range comprises the standard version, the SP with Öhlins Smart EC 3.0 electronic suspension and Brembo Hypure brakes, as well as the new HRC Works Edition. The latter is designed primarily for the track and stands out for its single-seater configuration, carbon-fibre components and dual-profile aerodynamic appendages.

Honda V3R 900 E-Compressor, the three-cylinder bike with an electric supercharger

Among the most interesting models unveiled at EICMA 2026 is the Honda V3R 900 E-Compressor, shown in its final production-ready configuration. Following on from the 2025 prototype, the naked bike retains its distinctive asymmetrical design and incorporates titanium components, including the fuel tank and exhaust. The technical innovation is the 900 cc V3 engine paired with an electric supercharger, capable of managing supercharging regardless of engine speed. According to Honda, this solution delivers instant response at low revs and performance comparable to that of a motorbike with a capacity of around 1,200 cc. A new version of the Honda RoadSync system is also making its debut, featuring artificial intelligence-based functions and voice commands.

Honda Adv125, the new adventure scooter

The adventure scooter range is expanding with the new Honda Adv125, which draws on the styling of the X-A and Adv350 in a model that can be ridden on an A1 licence. The new 125 stands out for its raised riding position, long-travel suspension, increased ground clearance and semi-knobbed tyres. The engine is the 125 cc eSP+ single-cylinder unit, designed to keep fuel consumption low in everyday use. The specification includes a 5-inch colour TFT display with Honda RoadSync connectivity, a USB-C port, HSTC traction control and a Smart Key system.

The Honda CBR500R Four and other new additions to the range

The new Honda CBR500R Four is also making its European debut at EICMA. This mid-range sports bike is fitted with an in-line four-cylinder engine and the Honda E-Clutch system, which allows the rider to set off, stop and change gear without using the clutch lever. The same technology is featured on the CMX500 Rebel on display at the show, bringing the total number of Honda models available in Europe with E-Clutch to nine.

There are also updates for the CBR600RR, which features a redesigned front end, a new colour TFT display and an improved braking system. The SH350i scooter, meanwhile, gets a 4.2-inch TFT instrument panel with Honda RoadSync connectivity and new colour schemes.

Honda Outlier Concept: how the electric motorbike is changing

Alongside its production models, Honda is bringing the Outlier Concept to Europe for the first time – an electric motorbike that explores technical and stylistic solutions different from those of traditional motorbikes. Its distinctive feature is the two electric motors integrated into the front and rear wheel hubs, a configuration that reduces mechanical bulk and alters the bike’s proportions. The rear-view mirrors have been replaced by cameras, whilst a panoramic instrument panel also displays the lean angle and the power output of the motors.

Honda RN0: the electric mountain bike makes its debut

The latest development concerns a new segment for Honda in Europe. The RN0 is an electric mountain bike developed in collaboration with Rotwild and Shimano, featuring a carbon-fibre monocoque frame and a distinctive Gullwing rear triangle.

The electric assist system uses a Shimano motor capable of delivering a maximum torque of 100 Nm and a peak power output of 750 watts.
