BMW Motorrad has showcased its latest concept motorcycle, the F 450 GS, at the ongoing Auto Expo 2025. The F 450 GS Concept was first revealed at the EICMA Motor Show last year and the brand states that the bike is in a near-production-ready form. Once it enters production and launches subsequently, the F 450 GS is expected to fill the gap between BMW’s G 310 GS and the F 800/900 GS models in its India portfolio.
The F 450 GS concept grabbed significant attention at EICMA 2024, thanks to its resemblance to the flagship BMW R 1300 GS. Designed with classic GS styling, the concept sports a blue, white, and red colour scheme reminiscent of the Trophy variant of the R 1300 GS adventure motorcycle.
The F 450 GS is powered by a newly developed 450cc parallel-twin engine. The engine produces 47 bhp and is claimed to deliver ample torque, especially at lower revs. The bike tips the scale at 175 kg and BMW states that it utilises lightweight materials such as magnesium to keep the weight in check and enhance performance.
BMW has packed the concept bike with a host of features, including ABS Pro with lean-angle sensitivity, high-performance braking systems, freely configurable riding modes, BMW Connectivity, integrated with a 6.5-inch TFT display and smartphone compatibility. Most of these features are expected to carry over to the production version.
BMW Motorrad plans to begin series production of the F 450 GS by late 2025. The motorcycle will be up for public display at the ongoing Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025.
