BMW F450GS

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.

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.

Design and features

The production F 450 GS uses a new liquid-cooled parallel-twin producing and, meeting the A2 category power limit while targeting everyday usability on and off road. 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.
Some markets also reference BMW’s Easy Ride centrifugal clutch feature to ease pull-away without using the clutch lever on certain variants.

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 in press materials and early coverage.

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. 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.

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.
