The 2026 International Motorcycle Exhibition in Taipei opened on July 12, drawing an estimated crowd of over 100,000 visitors despite being delayed by Typhoon Barway. The event, held at the Nangang Exhibition Center, was extended to 8 p.m. on its opening day.

Major global brands such as Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Yamaha, Harley-Davidson, Triumph, BMW, KTM, and Royal Enfield were present, alongside domestic manufacturers SYM and KYMCO. The exhibition maintained its tradition of daily new motorcycle giveaways, with a Honda CBR500R E-Clutch, a Yamaha YZF-R3, and a Suzuki V-Strom 250SX among the prizes.

KYMCO, in collaboration with Kawasaki, showcased 22 models across 26 units, covering various engine displacements. The display featured flagship models like the AK575, Xciting series, and GDink CT, as well as the X-Town ST250 and the new RTS R 165 with a second-generation electric push system.

KYMCO has announced it will launch two new models on July 13. Company chairman Ko Chun-bin is set to reveal the new vehicles, one of which is expected to be the production version of the CV-R5 concept ADV, potentially featuring a newly developed 427cc gasoline engine.
