Suzuki Motorcycle India Pvt. Ltd. (SMIPL) has introduced the all-new second generation Burgman Street, a comprehensive evolution of its popular luxury scooter. Building on the strong market presence of the original model that launched in 2018, this updated version brings significant improvements in design, performance and features. The result is a fresher, more premium offering aimed at customers seeking a distinctive ride in the luxury scooter segment.

Since its debut seven years ago, the Burgman Street has consistently grown into one of the fastest-moving models within the 125-cc scooter category. The new model is built around a concept called ‘ONE & ONLY’, which blends premium maxi-style design, superior comfort and everyday practicality. This unique combination sets it apart from any other scooter in its class. Customers can choose between two variants: the Ride Connect Edition and the Ride Connect TFT Edition.

Urban comfort and handling have been prioritised through a lightweight yet rigid frame that improves manoeuvrability. A tuned suspension setup, long wheelbase and Combined Brake System ensure stable and well-balanced braking. The scooter also retains its spacious, well-padded long seat, flexible floorboard and dedicated front footboards, reinforcing its reputation as a practical yet premium daily rider.

The new Burgman Street showcases a ‘Sleek Modern’ design language that fuses sharpness with elegance. Curvaceous bodywork, split-lens LED headlights with integrated position lights, compact LED turn signals and an updated rear combination light create a distinctive road presence. Metallic emblems, a dark smoked windscreen and an upswept muffler add further premium appeal. Underneath, the proven 124-cc Suzuki Eco Performance engine delivers 6.2 kW power and 10.2 Nm torque with strong low to mid-range response.

Practical enhancements include a 5.5-litre fuel tank with a tail-mounted lid, redesigned grab bar, aluminium pillion footpegs and a larger 24.6-litre underseat storage compartment with front pockets, dual utility hooks and a USB outlet. Features like the Suzuki Easy Start System, side stand interlock and waterproof switches ensure daily reliability. The Ride Connect TFT Edition goes further with a 4.2-inch colour TFT screen, a keyless system and an answer-back function for added convenience and security.

The all-new Burgman Street will be available across all Suzuki Motorcycle India dealerships from 8 April 2026 onwards. The price and colour options are given below:

Kenichi Umeda, Managing Director, Suzuki Motorcycle India Pvt. Ltd., said, “When we launched the Burgman Street in India, it created a distinct space for itself in the luxury scooter segment. Over the years, it has received an encouraging response, with sales doubling over the past three years. We have seen that Burgman Street owners take pride in owning something different. Building on this insight, our engineers have developed the second generation with a focus on refined design, enhanced comfort and a more premium riding experience. This new model truly represents ‘ONE & ONLY’ – delivering a unique combination of design, comfort, balance and real-world usability that sets it apart in the segment. We are confident that the new Burgman Street will continue to strengthen this pride among our customers.”

Royal Enfield has announced the launch of its inaugural Himalayan Base Camp – Ladakh Edition, a three-day community confluence designed to bring together riders, climbers and overlanders.

Based in Leh, Ladakh, at an altitude of 11,480 feet, the event moves away from traditional festival formats to create an immersive, hands-on environment focused on the ‘Adventure mindset.’

The program is structured around active participation rather than observation. It will feature a range of curated expeditions, expert-led sessions and skill-based workshops covering multiple disciplines. Beyond motorcycling, the event includes activities such as overlanding, cycling and mountaineering. Technical challenges include bouldering, kayaking and high-altitude skills workshops.

Mohit Dhar Jayal, Chief Brand Officer, Royal Enfield, said, “The Himalayan Base Camp is a rendezvous point for all adventurers, regardless of whether they are driven by horsepower, willpower or their own two feet. The program combines action, instruction and a variety of expeditions that will take adventurers out of their comfort zone - and bring them back to base with a whole new set of skills and experiences.”

The Ladakh edition is positioned as a shared space for co-creators where aficionados define the spirit of adventure. By returning to its ‘spiritual ground,’ Royal Enfield aims to fuel specific subcultures within the adventure community, offering challenges that range from technical boulder crawling to high-speed valley expeditions. The event is designed to be accessible to all, emphasising a collective defining of what adventure looks like at high altitudes.

This new addition to the Royal Enfield calendar joins their established marquee rides like the Himalayan Odyssey and Moto Himalaya, further solidifying the brand's presence in the global adventure-lifestyle ecosystem.

Indian Motorcycle and Legendary Productions have announced a new premium touring event, IBEX26: The Iberia Experience, scheduled to take place from 30 September to 4 October 2026.

Following the success of the Indian Riders Fest, this new venture shifts focus toward a more intimate, boutique experience, limited to just 220 participants on Spain’s Costa Blanca.

The event will be headquartered at the Hotel Occidental Pueblo Acantilado in El Campello, Alicante. This 4-star cliffside resort, designed to resemble a traditional whitewashed Iberian village, has been exclusively reserved for the event, ensuring a private environment for Indian Motorcycle owners and their passengers.

The riding programme features three signature routes developed in partnership with IMRG Alicante, the local Indian Motorcycle Riders Group. These routes are designed to showcase the diverse geography of the Alicante province:

• Route A (115 km): Traverses the Sierra de Aitana, featuring high-altitude mountain passes and the medieval clifftop village of Guadalest.
• Route B (140 km): Focuses on the inland valleys, passing through the almond groves of Xixona and reaching the Xorret de Catí viewpoint.
• Route C (155 km): A coastal and cultural loop taking in the Castillo de Santa Barbara in Alicante, the colourful houses of Villajoyosa, and the Valor chocolate museum.

IBEX26 is designed as an ‘all-inclusive’ experience where the regional culture is as central as the riding. Each evening at the hotel will feature a different themed culinary event, including a Valencian paella night with live flamenco performances and a gourmet tapas gala. An on-site ‘Iberian Market Place’ will also allow riders to engage with local artisan producers.

Jean-Marie Guyon, Founder, IBEX26 and Legendary Productions, said, “IBEX26 is everything the Indian Riders Fest taught us — and then a completely new conversation. We wanted to create something where the hotel, the roads, the food and the community are all equal parts of the experience. The Costa Blanca in October is one of the finest motorcycling environments in Europe.”

José Vicente Gomis Reig, President, IMRG Alicante, added, “We know these roads better than anyone. We have ridden every one of them and we know exactly which ones reward an Indian Motorcycle. It is a privilege to put that knowledge at the service of IBEX26.”

Registration for the event includes accommodation, all meals, GPX route files, and daily technical briefings, offering a turnkey touring solution for the Indian Motorcycle community.

Italian two-wheeler major Vespa India has introduced the Vespa Tech 80th, an exclusive commemorative series launched on 23 April 2026.

This special edition marks the 80th anniversary of the original patent filing on 23 April 1946, bridging the gap between the brand's post-war origins and modern technology. Available in 125cc and 150cc variants, the series is designed as a tribute to the Italian icon's legacy of freedom and style.

The standout feature of the Vespa Tech 80th is its exclusive Verde Pastello green livery. This specific shade was retrieved from historical archives and is inspired by the very first single-colour Vespa models from the 1940s.

The aesthetic follows a minimalist and functional language where the body colour extends to the shield profile, passenger grab handles, mirrors and suspension linkages. This glossy finish is contrasted by darker green satin-finish elements, including a stitched saddle, rubber footrest inserts and handlebar grips.

Further historical nods include Verde Pastello rims with a diamond finish, inspired by the original 1946 Vespa 98. Each unit is marked by a commemorative ‘80th’ plaque on the front shield and a dedicated ‘80 years of Vespa Est. 1946’ badge on the backplate. To celebrate this milestone globally, Vespa will host a massive international gathering in Rome from 25 to 28 June 2026, which is expected to be the largest celebration in the brand's history.
