The Indian two-wheeler market is gearing up for a busy end to 2025 with multiple high-profile motorcycle and scooter unveilings scheduled this month. From premium adventure bikes to budget commuters and electric scooters, December promises something for every rider. Here are the key launches to watch out for.
BMW F 450 GS: India Debut Expected at IBW 2025
BMW is preparing to introduce the F 450 GS in India, following its international reveal at EICMA 2025. The motorcycle is locally manufactured in collaboration with TVS, which could help the brand price it competitively.
Key mechanical highlights include:
-
420cc twin-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine
-
Long-travel suspension setup
-
Advanced rider electronics
The launch is expected at India Bike Week 2025 (December 19-20), with deliveries likely to commence early next year. If BMW positions it around Rs 4.5 lakh (ex-showroom), the F 450 GS could become a strong contender in the growing 400-500cc ADV segment.
BMW F 450 GS Trophy: Potential India Variant
BMW may also showcase the F 450 GS Trophy edition at IBW. While details remain limited, this variant is expected to offer a more rugged design theme and additional off-road enhancements. Unofficial bookings for the F 450 GS range have already begun in select dealerships.
Brixton Crossfire 500 Storr: New Challenger in the Sub-500cc ADV Space
Brixton’s Crossfire 500 Storr is another adventure motorcycle slated for its Indian debut at IBW 2025. The bike shares its 486cc parallel-twin powertrain with the Crossfire 500 X and XC.
Styling and features include:
-
Rally-inspired design
-
Tall windscreen and wide handlebar
-
Cross-spoke wheels with tubeless dual-purpose tyres
If introduced around the Rs 5.5 lakh price point, the Storr could rival the Honda NX500, Benelli TRK 502, and even BMW’s new F 450 GS.
Harley-Davidson X440 T: Updated Variant Coming on December 6
Harley-Davidson will expand its entry-level lineup with the new X440 T, set for launch on December 6. The model is expected to carry cosmetic changes and possibly new equipment, while retaining the existing engine and chassis.
The refreshed design should help Harley keep the X440 relevant against rivals like the Triumph Speed 400 and Royal Enfield Classic 350.
FB Mondial Piega 452: Italian Streetfighter Making India Comeback
Italian brand FB Mondial is returning to India with the Piega 452, a sharply styled streetfighter positioned against the Aprilia Tuono 457. The motorcycle will debut at IBW 2025 through MotoHaus, which also distributes Brixton and VLF.
Engine specs:
-
449.5cc liquid-cooled, parallel-twin
-
47.5PS and 39Nm
-
6-speed gearbox
Headline features include aggressive styling and a single-sided swingarm, a rarity in this displacement class.
New Bajaj Pulsar 125cc Model: Affordable Performance Incoming
Bajaj is expected to introduce a new 125cc Pulsar this month, based on hints from its recent earnings call. While Bajaj already offers the Pulsar 125, NS125 and N125, they have struggled to keep pace with newer competition.
The upcoming model is likely to:
-
Feature updated styling
-
Be positioned as a mass-market commuter
-
Target young and budget-conscious riders
With the 125cc segment witnessing renewed interest, Bajaj could use this launch to reinforce its presence.
Suzuki e-Access: Brand’s First Electric Scooter
Suzuki is reportedly close to launching its first electric scooter, potentially named e-Access, before the end of December. The company has been installing fast-charging infrastructure at dealerships, suggesting preparations for large-scale rollout.
Expected rivals:
-
TVS iQube
-
Ather Rizta
-
Vida VX2
-
Honda Activa e
If Suzuki gets the pricing, range and practicality right, the e-Access could quickly gain popularity among family scooter buyers.
Final Thoughts
December 2025 is shaping up to be a pivotal month for the Indian two-wheeler industry, with multiple brands entering or expanding in competitive segments. While premium adventure motorcycles will draw enthusiast attention, mass-market and electric options could have a broader market impact.
Stay tuned for official launch announcements, price reveals and early ride impressions in the coming weeks.
