Royal Enfield has marked its 125th anniversary with the unveiling of a new generation of motorcycles, led by the eagerly anticipated Himalayan 750 and Continental GT 750.
The historic motorcycle manufacturer revealed its latest machines at EICMA 2026 in Milan on Tuesday 3 November, offering enthusiasts a glimpse of where one of motorcycling’s oldest names is heading next.
At the centre of the celebrations was the Himalayan 750, an adventure motorcycle powered by an entirely new 743cc parallel twin engine, producing 63 Nm of torque at 5,000 rpm.
Building on the success of the original Himalayan, the new model promises greater touring capability while retaining the simplicity and rugged character that have made its predecessors popular with adventure riders.
The motorcycle features five riding modes, cornering ABS, lean sensitive traction control, cruise control and an adjustable windscreen, alongside a choice of cast or spoked wheels.
UK prices start at £6,999 for the Aztec Green cast wheel version, rising to £7,299 for the spoked wheel models and £8,699 for the fully equipped Antarctic Silver flagship.
Royal Enfield also unveiled the Continental GT 750, a sportier evolution of its traditional café racer, powered by an uprated version of the same 743cc twin engine.
The new GT will become the company’s most powerful production motorcycle to date, combining classic styling with a more aggressive riding position and a distinctive hybrid twin pod TFT display.
Both faired and unfaired versions were displayed in Milan, with three colour schemes offering different interpretations of the familiar Continental GT design.
B. Govindarajan, Managing Director of Eicher Motors Ltd and Chief Executive Officer of Royal Enfield, said:
“For 125 years, Royal Enfield has evolved while staying fiercely true to its philosophy of Pure Motorcycling.
“At EICMA this year, we are unveiling a future-focused vision that brings our design heritage and rider-inspired engineering together.
“The showcases reflect how we are expanding our portfolio, evolving technologies, and offering a more engaging cultural ecosystem for our community.
“Leading our next chapter is the Himalayan 750, a motorcycle that builds on a decade of the Himalayan’s legacy.
“It brings greater capability, performance, and the perfect balance of technology, all while retaining the untamed spirit of exploration.
“The Continental GT 750 takes our iconic café racer lineage forward with a sharper, more contemporary expression.
“On the electric vehicle front, the scrambler-styled Flying Flea S6 pushes the boundaries of urban exploration through extreme lightness, agility, and a distinctive design.
“Alongside our motorcycles, the Shotgun 650 ‘Son of a Gun’ collaboration with Deus Ex Machina celebrates the creative possibilities of custom motorcycling, while the 1901 Apparel Collection reimagines our heritage for a new generation.”
Electric motorcycling also featured prominently with the Flying Flea S6, a lightweight electric scrambler designed to handle city streets and rougher terrain.
Available in Dart Yellow and Lightning Grey, the S6 features a touchscreen display, dedicated riding modes and an off road setting, with its launch scheduled for summer 2027.
For collectors, Royal Enfield presented the Shotgun 650 Son of a Gun, developed with custom motorcycle specialists Deus Ex Machina, with just 100 examples planned for worldwide production next year.
The anniversary celebrations also introduced the 1901 Apparel Collection, featuring a refreshed Royal Enfield identity and redesigned Cannon emblem.
After 125 years of producing motorcycles, Royal Enfield is looking to the future without abandoning the uncomplicated riding experience that helped build its reputation.
