    BMW F 450 GS Spied With Minimal Camo – New Details Revealed

    by

    New BMW F 450 GS SpiedBMW F 450 GS will likely be launched by the end of this year, with a price tag of around Rs 5 lakh
    After discontinuing the G 310 GS, BMW Motorrad is developing a new entry-level addition to its famed GS family. While earlier test mules were heavily camouflaged, latest spy shots provide more clarity on how the bike will look like. The test mule seems close to production-ready. Let’s check out the details.
    BMW F 450 GS – Key highlights
    Overall design and styling of BMW F 450 GS seems inspired by its larger sibling, the R 1300 GS. For example, BMW F 450 GS utilizes X-shaped LED DRL elements that are similar to that of R 1300 GS. However, to ensure a distinctive profile, a stacked LED headlamp lighting setup has been used with the F 450 GS. The larger sibling comes with a single LED headlamp.
    New BMW F 450 GS
    Other key highlights include sharp LED turn indicators, a large windscreen and a raised front beak. BMW F 450 GS has multi-layered sharp panelling and gets a sculpted fuel tank. While the concept was presented at the 2025 Bharat Mobility Expo with a single-piece seat, this near-production-ready unit comes with split seats.
    Features that instantly get one’s attention include the USD forks and handlebar in golden finish and a chunky upswept exhaust. A number of accessories can be seen such as hand guards, a robust bash plate (likely metallic) and a top box at the rear. The bike has slots for mounting panniers at the rear.
    New BMW F 450 GS
    With its compact profile, BMW F 450 GS will effectively meet both urban and mild off-roading needs. The bike has a relaxed riding stance, which makes it suitable for long-distance touring. While the concept was seen with wire-spoke wheels, this test vehicle utilizes alloy wheels. For folks who intend to use the bike more for off-roading, BMW could offer wire-spoke wheels as an accessory.
    Performance, specs
    In an earlier statement, BMW had stated that F 450 GS would be using a new twin-cylinder inline engine that had been developed from scratch. With a first-of-its-kind ignition offset, the engine has a distinctive feel and delivers a more engaging throttle response. The engine produces 48 hp, making it ideal for the A2 licence category across Europe. BMW F 450 GS will be using a 6-speed gearbox.
    New BMW F 450 GS
    Alloy wheels are 19-inch front and 17-inch rear, wrapped in road-biased dual-purpose tyres. Both ends have disc brakes and dual-channel ABS will be standard. To meet the A2 license category requirements, the bike will have a kerb weight of 175 kg. The bike has a preload-adjustable mono-shock with load-dependent damping at the rear. Rider aids expected with the BMW F 450 GS include traction control, configurable riding modes and cornering ABS. A 6.5-inch TFT screen with Bluetooth will ensure seamless connectivity and navigation.
    New BMW F 450 GS
    Similar to the now discontinued G 310 GS, the BMW F 450 GS will be manufactured by TVS Motor. Launch in India is expected later this year. BMW F 450 GS will challenge rivals such as Honda NX500, KTM 390 Adventure, CFMoto 450 MT, Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 and upcoming Aprilia Tuareg 457.

      BMW F 450 GS Spied In Karnataka – To Be Made By TVS?

      by

      BMW F 450 GS Spied In KarnatakaWith the G 310 GS discontinued, the BMW F 450 GS becomes the new entry-level model in the brand’s highly celebrated GS family
      After it was showcased as a concept at the 2025 Bharat Mobility Expo, the BMW F 450 GS has been spotted on road tests in Karnataka state, India, for the first time. In an earlier statement, BMW had stated that the production version will be a close match to the near-production-ready concept. Let’s explore some of the key features seen with the test models.
      BMW F 450 GS Spied – Styling and features
      Spy shots show Kannada boards, confirming that the testing was being done in Karnataka. This suggests that TVS Motor might be testing these units and it aligns with the speculations that TVS is handling the production side of things. While heavily camouflaged, some of the signature features such as raised front fender, USD forks in golden finish and a tall windscreen are evident.
      BMW F 450 GS Spotted
      While the concept had a high-mounted exhaust, the test mules can be seen with an upswept exhaust. This placement is more practical as mounting the side panniers becomes easier. The test vehicle can also be seen with a top case. While the concept was presented with cross-wire-spoke wheels, the test mules can be seen with alloy wheels. These appear to be the same units as were used with the now discontinued G 310 GS.
      BMW had earlier mentioned that changes for the production model could include different options for the wheels. However, the 19-inch front and 17-inch rear wheel sizes might be the same across all options. The alloy wheels onboard these test mules look like they’re wrapped in Eurogrip Duratrail EB+ tyres.
      BMW F 450 GS Spotted
      BMW F 450 GS will have the same design DNA, as seen with the larger R 1300 GS. The concept model came with an exciting colour scheme, combining shades of blue, white and red. This is something similar to that of the Trophy version of the BMW R 1300 GS. One can expect similar colour options with the production model. These colours highlight the key characteristics of BMW GS bikes such as top-notch performance, quality and off-roading capabilities.
      BMW F 450 GS – Performance, specs
      With the F 450 GS, BMW has focused on creating a truly versatile machine that can seamlessly handle both road and off-road environments. Speculations suggest that the bike utilizes an entirely new twin-cylinder inline engine, unlocking 48 hp allowed for A2 class license holders across Europe. The engine is designed to be lightweight and compact with the use of special materials such as magnesium. The bike is expected to be offered with a 6-speed gearbox.
      BMW F 450 GS Spotted
      Chassis and other components are designed to meet the 175 kg minimum weight requirement of A2 class. Suspension setup may comprise fully-adjustable USD forks at front and a preload-adjustable mono-shock with load-dependent damping at the rear. Both ends have a single-disc brake setup and dual-channel ABS will be standard. Tech kit includes a 6.5-inch TFT with Bluetooth connectivity for navigation, calls and notifications.
      Expected rider aids include cornering ABS, configurable riding modes and traction control. BMW F 450 GS is expected to be launched in India later this year or in early 2026. Launch price could be around Rs 4 lakh to Rs 5 lakh. In India, the BMW F 450 GS will be locally made by TVS and will take on rivals such as KTM 390 Adventure and Royal Enfield Himalayan 450.

      BMW F 450 GS ADV Launch Plans – Made in India?

      by

      BMW F 450 GS ConceptSimilar to the G 310 GS, the BMW F 450 GS will be manufactured in India and exported to multiple global markets
      BMW’s GS range has highly capable machines such as the R 1250 GS and F 850 GS. There’s the entry-level G 310 GS as well, manufactured at TVS plant in Hosur. The newest GS member, BMW F 450 GS, seems perfectly suited to fill the gap between the 300cc and 850cc/900cc segments. Let’s take a look at the bike’s launch timeline and explore its key features.
      BMW F 450 GS Launch in 2025
      Earlier this year, BMW had showcased the F 450 GS as a concept at the 2025 Bharat Expo. The bike was first revealed at the 2024 EICMA. While F 450 GS was showcased as a concept, the bike appears to be in near-production-ready form. While enthusiasts were excited about this newest GS member, there was not enough clarity about the bike’s launch timeline.
      BMW F 450 GS Concept
      BMW has now provided an update via its Instagram handle, indicating towards a global launch by the end of 2025. It is possible that the bike could be launched at the 2025 EICMA. The Instagram post reads – “Dreams are coming true soon – prepare for the #ConceptF450GS at the end of the year.” This could mean that BMW Motorrad will launch this motorcycle by 2025 end, or at-least showcase a production-spec model.
      TVS will be manufacturing the BMW F 450 GS at its plant in Hosur. Even when locally manufactured, the bike will still have a premium price tag. Starting price could be in the range of Rs 5 lakh mark (Ex-sh), similar to what Aprilia might do with upcoming Tuareg 457. That’s expensive on its own, but reasonable for a BMW bike. The entry-level BMW G 310 GS is available at a starting price of Rs 3.30 lakh.
      BMW F 450 GS Concept
      Talking about rivals, BMW F 450 GS will primarily take on Aprilia Tuareg 457 along with the likes of Honda NX500 and KTM 390 Adventure. Honda NX500 is currently available at a starting price of Rs 5.90 lakh. In comparison, the 390 Adventure is cheaper at Rs 3.68 lakh. KTM recently launched the updated 2025 model of 390 Adventure. Most affordable option in this space will continue to be Royal Enfield Himalayan 450, priced at Rs 2.85 lakh.
      BMW F 450 GS – Features, performance, specs
      Overall look and feel of BMW F 450 GS is similar to that of the larger sibling, the R 1250 GS. Some of the key highlights include a sharp beak, USD forks in golden finish, large windscreen and a quirky headlamp setup. The bike has a sculpted fuel tank, knuckle guards, robust sump guard, under seat exhaust, wire-spoke wheels and knobby tyres. Both ends have disc brakes and dual-channel ABS is likely (switchable).

      BMW has revealed that F 450 GS has a lightweight profile, weighing 175 kg. Powering the bike will be a new inline twin-cylinder engine that generates 48 PS of max power. Honda NX500 has a 471cc parallel-twin engine that makes 47.5 PS. But the NX500 is heavier at 196 kg. With its lightweight profile, BMW F 450 GS has a higher power-to-weight ratio. The bike will get a range of rider aids such as ride modes, traction control and cornering ABS (switchable). More

      BMW Concept F 450 GS Revealed – 2-Cyl 450cc Engine, 48 bhp, 175 kg

      by

      BMW Concept F 450 GS RevealedWhen launched, BMW Concept F 450 GS might take on the likes of recently spied Aprilia Tuareg 457 among others rivals
      Legacy motorcycle manufacturers have been looking into launching more affordable offerings to broaden their sales horizon. BMW has a fruitful partnership with TVS Motor in India and has successfully established a 310cc single-cylinder platform. This platform has spawned G 310 R street fighter, G 310 GS ADV-Tourer and G 310 RR supersport.
      Now, the company has teased a new 450cc platform to offer buyers that want more than what this 310cc platform offers. For starters, this new 450 platform is powered by a 450cc twin-cylinder engine that can generate 48 bhp. As revealed by the company, the first motorcycle based on this new platform is an Adventure-Tourer called F 450 GS.
      BMW F 450 GS
      BMW Concept F 450 GS Revealed
      One of world’s renowned motorcycle manufacturers, BMW Motorrad, has been branching out its portfolio to include a new 450 platform. The company has teased a new GS concept motorcycle based on this platform. Currently in its concept form, this motorcycle has a high probability of making it to production.
      Where design is concerned, BMW Motorrad has stuck to its GS genes. The company has trickled down a lot of design elements from bigger GS bikes into this motorcycle. At the front, BMW Concept F 450 GS bears a quad-element LED DRL signature like bigger GS bikes. Production-spec motorcycle will have a functional headlight too.
      [embedded content]
      There is an integrated beak at the front, which is a part of its semi fairing. We can also see a reasonably tall windscreen that should reduce wind buffeting. A large radiator for liquid-cooling is also present inside the body work at the front. Also prominent at the front, we have USD telescopic forks finished in a lovely gold shade.
      BMW F 450 GS
      These front forks are not adjustable, though. Rear gets a mono-shock setup. Knuckle guards, BMW classic colourway on White, a single-piece rally seat, rear luggage rack, a clean rear tail section (production model will get tail lights and turn indicators), an Akrapovic exhaust and a fully digital instrument cluster with advanced features are some of the notable elements.
      BMW F 450 GS
      What to expect?
      There seems to be a tubular trellis frame and subframe. Wheels are of wire-spoke type and they seem to be 19-inchers at the front and 17-inchers at the rear. Tyres are chunky off-road types that will provide a lot of grip and leverage off the road. Saddle width seems manageable too, and so does the rider’s triangle.
      BMW F 450 GS
      The 450cc twin-cylinder liquid-cooled engine is the key highlight of BMW Concept F 450 GS. It makes 48 bhp and this concept weighs only 175 kg. Say 180-185 kg for production model. It is primarily developed for A2 class riders in Europe, but could be a worthy weapon against recently spied Aprilia Tuareg 457. More
