Indian Motorcycle posts European growth and prepares EICMA news
The Scout is central to Indian’s European momentum, while the company heads to EICMA 2026 after reclaiming the King of the Baggers title.

Indian Motorcycle is seeing higher sales in most European markets in 2026, with the Scout range identified by the company as a major contributor. Romania leads the highlighted markets with a 60.7% increase compared with the same period in 2025. Poland follows at 52.6%, while sales in the United Kingdom rose by 39.4%.
Indian Motorcycle CEO Mike Kennedy said the growth extends across most of Europe, with Romania and Poland standing out for their particularly strong performance. The company also says that the Scout leads Europe’s mid-size cruiser segment and outsells comparable Harley-Davidson and Honda models. That is Indian’s claim about the range’s market position, rather than an independently presented ranking in this report.
Indian will bring model news to EICMA
Indian will attend EICMA 2026 in Milan when the exhibition opens on November 3. The company has confirmed that it will share news about its models, but has not said which motorcycles will be involved. It will also provide a business update as the show gets under way. This will be Indian’s first EICMA appearance as an independent motorcycle company, a point highlighted by Kennedy when discussing the event.
The manufacturer also returns to the top of King of the Baggers in 2026, taking the championship back from Harley-Davidson. Since the series became a full-time championship in 2021, Indian and Harley-Davidson have each won three titles. Harley-Davidson will not continue with its factory team or official support in King of the Baggers next season. Instead, it will focus on the new Bagger World Cup, which serves as a support series for MotoGP.
