BMW F 450 GS, Brixton Storr 500 Will Not Debut At India Bike Week 2025

Two of the most anticipated motorcycle debuts in India, the BMW F 450 GS and the Brixton Storr 500, will no longer make their planned debut at India Bike Week 2025. Both models were slated to be unveiled at the annual motorcycling festival, which itself saw weeks of uncertainty around its dates and venue. Now, shortly after IBW finalised its schedule for December 19-20 in Panchgani, two major participants have opted out of showcasing their new models at the event.

BMW’s F 450 GS, developed jointly with TVS and manufactured in India, was revealed globally at EICMA 2025. Several reports previously indicated that the motorcycle would be launched at IBW. However, we understand that BMW Motorrad is now preparing for an India launch in January 2026, with deliveries expected to begin from February 2026.

TVS and BMW have already commenced production of the made-in-India F 450 GS at TVS Motor Company’s Hosur facility. The motorcycle will essentially be the new entry point into BMW’s adventure lineup, taking over from the discontinued G 310 GS.

The Brixton Storr 500 has also been pushed from its original India debut plan. Parent company Motohaus has confirmed that the showcase will not take place at IBW 2025, and a revised launch timeline is yet to be finalised. The middle-weight adventure motorcycle was first revealed at Motohaus’ global headquarters in Austria and is now likely to arrive in India sometime in 2026.

Motohaus had also planned to reintroduce FB Mondial to the Indian market at IBW. The historic Italian marque, known for motorcycle racing, was set to mark its return with the Piega 452, a streetfighter-style model already on sale in Europe. With the Storr 500 postponed, the revised timeline for Mondial’s India re-entry also remains uncertain but that too is expected to be in calendar year 2026.
