While the F 450 GS is largely based on a common platform based on a new 421 cc, parallel-twin, BMW Motorrad is likely to launch the F 450 GS in overseas markets first, before the model is launched in India. The 421 cc, parallel-twin engine produces around 48 bhp and 43.5 Nm of peak torque. The F 450 GS is expected to be offered in multiple variants with both alloy wheels and wire spoke wheels.
