Eicma 2025 was a show split in two: on one side the brands that dream big, on the other those that prefer not to get hurt. Honda opened with the V3 with electric compressor, a naked bike that looks like a prototype that escaped from the secret department of a science fiction film. Last year there was only the engine, this year the motorbike: a sign that the future is already in the pipeline. BMW has alternated desires and reality with the Concept RR (230 horsepower, carbon as if it were raining, spaceship lines) and the 450 GS, designed to conquer new motorcyclists and bring them into the Bavarian universe. MV Agusta provoked with a V5 that brings to mind the Honda RC211V, while CF Moto amazed with a V4 Superbike that turns the heads not only of the public, but also of the European engineers who stopped to study it like a work of industrial art. Suzuki finally dares: it saved its historic 650 twin-cylinder and put the four-cylinder GSX-R 1000 R back on track. Ducati, queen of asphalt, threw itself into the mud with the Desert X 890 and the new 450 Enduro, designed for a real, muscular off-road vehicle, destined to increase sales. Morbidelli is reborn thanks to the Keeway group, which uses the Italian brand to sign a Premium range and push towards Moto2 and Moto3. Benelli presented the TRK 602 X, an evolution of the motorcycle that rewrote its commercial history. Aprilia is again focusing on young people with the 457, while Kawasaki is going through a more cautious phase. The result is an Eicma that has told the story of a very rapidly evolving sector: today the novelty is not only the most powerful motorbike, but the one capable of charting the route of tomorrow.
