EICMA, the Milan motorcycle show, opens its 83rd edition on 3 November 2026 at Fiera Milano Rho. It is the annual stage on which manufacturers usually reveal their next-year models, and several brands have already said what they plan to bring. This guide sets out the dates, the ticket prices and the reveals that are officially confirmed, and separates them from the speculation that tends to gather around the show. The useful way to read a motorcycle show is to separate what a brand has announced from what the internet has guessed.
Dates, hours and tickets
The show details below come from the German magazine Motorrad & Reisen, which is the single source for the practical information. It has not named individual exhibitors, so check the organisers' own site before booking travel.
- Press and trade days: 3 and 4 November, open to trade and press only, with a minimum age of 18.
- Public days: 5 to 8 November, from 09:30 to 18:30 each day.
- Advance online tickets: EUR 20 for visitors aged 14 and over, plus a EUR 1.50 fee, and EUR 10 for ages 4 to 13.
- Size: ten halls this year, against nine in 2025, and more than 700 exhibiting companies.
What brands have confirmed
KTM returns with its own stand and will unveil new models on 3 November at 10:45, according to 1000PS. Husqvarna is in Hall 22, Stand E08. The report expects off-road machines to be a major focus, but it names no models, and none should be assumed.
Triumph has said it will show the new Tiger 1200 and the Street Triple 798 at EICMA from 3 November, Gear Patrol reports. The brand's own announced reveal date for the Tiger 1200 is 27 October, ahead of the show. The Street Triple 798 has a separate reveal date of 17 November, according to autoevolution, so readers should check Triumph's announcements for the order in which each bike appears.
The same two Triumph models are also due at Motorcycle Live at the NEC in Birmingham in late November, autoevolution notes.
Ducati has updated its 2027 Desmo450 MX and MX Factory competition bikes ahead of the show, Visordown reports. These are dirt bikes built for racing, not road machines.
What is only a teaser
Several announcements say less than they appear to.
Yamaha has announced a reveal in Milan on 2 November, the day before EICMA opens, under the teaser "Redefine the Standard". No model has been named. A graphic with three spikes has led to speculation about a three-cylinder engine, but that is speculation and Yamaha has not said so, according to Motorcycles.news.
BMW Motorrad shared a teaser image of a sportier F450 RR on Instagram, which Visordown reported around 8 October. A teaser image is not a launch, and the report does not say when the bike will be shown.
Earlier previews published in the spring, including lists of the most anticipated reveals, were rumours. None of that material is used here.
How to plan a visit
For most readers in the Gulf, EICMA means a trip to Milan, and the sensible way to plan it is around the dates above.
- If you want to see launches as they happen, the press and trade days are not open to the public, so plan for 5 to 8 November.
- If you are visiting for a specific brand, note the reveal times: KTM at 10:45 on 3 November and Yamaha on 2 November are both before the public days begin.
- If you are travelling from the Gulf, book tickets in advance online at the prices above, and check the age rules if you are bringing children.
- If you only want the news, the reveal dates mean much of it will reach you from 27 October onwards, when Triumph's Tiger 1200 is due to appear.
Why the show matters
EICMA is where importers and riders first see next year's bikes. No Gulf-specific attendance or launch fact appeared in the sources used for this guide, so what follows is a reader's checklist and not a report on regional plans. Importers are the people to ask whether a model shown in Milan will reach the region, and when.
Taken together, the confirmed list is shorter than the rumour list. KTM, Husqvarna, Yamaha and Triumph have dates; BMW has a picture; and Ducati has a set of updated dirt bikes. Everything else, for now, is conjecture. The week before the show is likely to bring more detail, and this guide will be most useful to readers who treat each new announcement as a reason to check the facts again.
