The BMW F 450 GS concept was showcased at the 2024 edition of EICMA, but at the time, the brand did not give us an official timeline for its launch. Now, BMW has announced that the production-spec F 450 GS should be here by the end of this year.
- F 450 GS will debut a new parallel-twin mill that’s rated for 48hp
- The concept, heavily inspired by the R 1300 GS, weighed around 175kg
BMW F 450 GS launch details
This 450cc twin-cylinder adventure tourer bike’s launch timeline was announced via a post on BMW Motorrad’s official social media handle.
The F 450 GS concept’s design was heavily inspired by the R 1300 GS, which launched recently. The concept bike had the same quad daytime running lamps setup but with GS badging in the centre; this badge will be replaced with a proper headlight in the production version. The concept also featured a 6.5-inch TFT display and cross-spoke wheels. It remains to be seen which features are carried forward when the bike goes into production.
BMW’s nomenclature is well-defined, wherein the number denotes the displacement, and the letter represents the engine format. This engine is rated to produce 48hp. BMW had claimed at EICMA that the concept F 450 GS weighed around 175kg.
This motorcycle is styled to be reminiscent of the larger GS and will be the first model to debut this new 450cc parallel-twin mill. We also expect BMW to bring additional models with this engine.
