The new BMW F 450 GS is a completely redesigned, new construction for the 48 hp 400 – 500 cc class. Its identity focuses on implementing the current BMW GS design language. With iconic features such as the LED headlight with “X” lighting elements and the distinctive flyline, the bike’s affiliation with the BMW Motorrad GS family is apparent at first glance.
The characteristic flyline runs from the front GS “beak,” across the tank and seat, and continues to the very narrow, slim rear. The agility and lightness of the rear section emphasize the dynamic character of the new BMW F 450 GS.
“With the new BMW F 450 GS, BMW Motorrad presents a genuine BMW GS in the 48 hp A2 class. It embodies the essence of a GS: Get on, twist the throttle, have fun – with full control and maximum confidence. Its low weight, superior performance and perfect balance between agility and stability ensure a particularly intuitive riding experience. Thanks to its precise handling and typical GS expertise, it performs impressively both on and off the road. ” Markus Flasch, CEO BMW Motorrad
The new BMW F 450 GS comes with a two-piece seat (33.3-inch) as standard. With its flat, straight design, it provides an ideal ergonomic position for comfort and dynamics for most riders. The low black rider’s seat (32.7 inches) and the high Rallye seat in Black/White/Red (34.0 inches), available as part of the Original BMW Motorrad Accessories, can be adapted to individual needs. The standard adjustable handlebar levers and the optional accessory 0.79-inch handlebar risers in silver, offer further customization options.
At the heart of the new BMW F 450 GS is a completely redesigned two-cylinder in-line engine. The main development goals were to build a lightweight, powerful, high-torque, and smooth-running engine. Additionally, during the development of the new engine, particular emphasis was placed on achieving low fuel consumption values and a distinctive sound.
The 420 cc displacement results from a 72 mm bore and a 51.6 mm stroke. The new F 450 GS delivers powerful performance and pulling power with a power output of 48 hp at 8,750 rpm and a maximum torque of 32 lb-ft at 6,750 rpm.
The new BMW F 450 GS in the GS Trophy Variant comes standard with wider enduro footrests. While primarily designed for on-road use, their serrated profile also makes them suitable for off-road use. The enduro footrests offer an optimal balance between grip and comfort. A very practical feature is the height-adjustable footbrake lever. Using a tool, it can be adjusted vertically by 0.79-inch to two positions to suit individual on- and off-road riding needs. The gearshift lever is also height-adjustable – via a toothed mechanism on the shift shaft.
All 2027 model year BMW motorcycle models include the Ultimate Care Break-In Service, or “600 Mile Service” as standard. This included service further provides BMW customers with a truly premium experience. Time and mileage limits apply – maximum 6 months from the in-service date or maximum 750 miles – whichever comes first.
