The BMW F 450 GS is a dual-sport motorcycle produced by BMW Motorrad. Unveiled in November 2025 at the EICMA motorcycle show in Milan, it serves as the entry point to BMW’s F-series parallel-twin adventure range, positioned between the single-cylinder G 310 GS and the mid-size F 800 GS.[1][2]
Background
BMW previewed the model line a year earlier with the Concept F 450 GS, shown in November 2024. The concept highlighted a lightweight chassis and premium suspension hardware aimed at broadening GS accessibility in the A2-licence class.[3]
Design and features
The production F 450 GS uses a new 420 cc (26 cu in) liquid-cooled parallel-twin producing 35 kW (47 hp) and 43 N⋅m (32 lb⋅ft), meeting the A2 category power limit while targeting everyday usability on and off road.[1] A 6.5-inch colour TFT display with connectivity, LED lighting including an “X”-signature daytime running light, and rider-assistance features such as ABS Pro and Dynamic Brake Control are fitted or available depending on market.[1]
Some markets also reference BMW’s Easy Ride centrifugal clutch feature to ease pull-away without using the clutch lever on certain variants.[4]
Chassis
The motorcycle employs a steel bridge frame with a telescopic fork and rear monoshock. Wheel sizes are 21-inch front and 17-inch rear, with cast or optional cross-spoke wheels depending on specification. Ready-to-ride mass is quoted at around 178 kg (392 lb) in press materials and early coverage.[1][2]
Market and production
BMW states that production for global markets will be undertaken with manufacturing partner TVS Motor Company at its Hosur facility in India, alongside the G 310 series.[2] BMW’s U.S. press communication indicates a market launch expected in late Q4 2026 or early Q1 2027, with pricing to be announced closer to that date; earlier on-sale timing is expected in some other regions.[4]
Reception
Early coverage from motorcycle media described the F 450 GS as an overdue “baby GS” designed to bring the GS platform to newer and shorter-statured riders, while retaining the styling and equipment cues of larger GS models.[5][6]
