    BMW F 450 GS Teased Ahead Of EICMA Reveal – India Launch In 2026?

    BMW F 450 GS Teased
    With a strategic partnership with TVS Motor, a renowned 2W and 3W vehicle manufacturer in India, BMW Motorrad established an affordable 310cc platform. This platform spawned G 310 R (Roadster), G 310 GS (Adventure Tourer) and G 310 RR (Supersport). These motorcycles were all powered by a single-cylinder engine.
    Now, BMW Motorrad and TVS Motor have jointly developed a new 450cc platform. Unlike the 310cc platform, the 450cc platform is powered by a twin-cylinder engine and the first motorcycle to debut this powertrain will be the F 450 GS. BMW Motorrad has teased this motorcycle ahead of a global debut at EICMA Show 2025. Let’s take a closer look.

    BMW F 450 GS

    BMW Vision CE Self-Balancing Electric Bike Negates Helmet, Protective Clothing

    BMW Vision CE Concept
    When you’re riding a motorcycle, safety is paramount and that is why wearing protective gear is advisable. Helmet and protective gear is always recommended to protect from injuries and abrasion. However, BMW Motorrad is reimagining motorcycling with Vision CE Concept where the rider doesn’t have to wear protective clothing and helmet at all.
    BMW Vision CE Concept
    If you’re a motorcycling fanatic, you’d know something about the BMW Motorrad C1 Concept that debuted 25 years ago. From around three decades, BMW Motorrad is on the quest of offering an urban motorcycling experience with increased sense of freedom along with a casual and carefree riding experience.
    BMW C1 Concept 25 years ago
    The new BMW Vision CE Concept is a continuation of C1 Concept, but in a much more refined way, while embodying the brand’s forward-looking CE design language. This motorcycle concept employs a metallic tubular cage that aims to offer protection to rider in case of a fall. This cage seems to be integrated right into the motorcycle’s mainframe.
    BMW Vision CE Concept
    To hold rider in place, this concept motorcycle comes with what looks like five-point seat belts usually seen in sports cars. This cage will provide roll-over protection while seatbelts hold passenger in place in an event of a fall. BMW has even implemented foam on this cage that should enhance impact protection.
    BMW Vision CE
    Future-Forward Design
    When compared to the cage on C1, BMW Vision CE Concept looks a lot sleeker and appealing, while employing modern materials and other technologies. This design encourages riders to enjoy the elements more as they are free to get on to their urban commutes without the need for a helmet or protective clothing.
    BMW Vision CE
    With Vision CE, BMW Motorrad aims to increase the fun quotient in daily commutes while enhancing immersion of the ride for riders. Other than the cage, Vision CE bears a futuristic design language. It has a bulky face, a long wheelbase, a forward-set foot peg position that allows for a relaxed riding posture and more. The company has also made Vision CE self-balancing too, which will unlock car-like experience on 2W.

    BMW Vision CE Concept bears an emission-free electric powertrain signifying the brand’s commitment towards clean electric mobility for a sustainable future. The company is constantly rethinking urban mobility and the new Vision CE is the amalgamation of the brand’s forward thinking in terms of propulsion technology, safety and innovative riding solutions.
