Indian Motorcycle has confirmed it will exhibit at EICMA in November, as it reveals year-on-year growth across most European markets. Indian Motorcycle will present a business update and unveil the first wave of its MY27 news, while also celebrating the success of the Indian Wrecking Crew, which won the 2026 King of the Baggers Championship in a record-breaking season aboard the Indian Challenger.
“As the world’s premier motorcycle exhibition, EICMA has always been an important platform for providing business updates and sharing our latest model news with key international and European markets,” said Mike Kennedy, CEO of Indian Motorcycle. “Europe continues to be a significant part of our business and, as our first time at EICMA as an independent motorcycle company, I’m really looking forward to this opportunity to reinforce our commitment to international riders.”
“We’ve seen increased sales in the majority of markets across Europe, as well as some standout performances in our younger territories such as Romania and Poland, which have significantly outperformed the market. The Indian Scout platform, in particular, continues to be a cornerstone of our lineup and is the market leader in the European mid-size cruiser segment, outselling comparable models from Harley-Davidson and Honda,” commented Kennedy.
“We have a long-term strategy centered on delivering an even better ownership experience for riders and stronger, more focused support for our dealer network, while continually improving our three platforms: Indian Scout, Indian Chief, and PowerPlus Baggers and Tourers,” Kennedy continued. “Indian Motorcycle is a proud American company, but we’re committed to ensuring our motorcycles are recognized globally as the best in their class. The momentum we’re seeing in Europe is a testament to that commitment.”
