BMW F 450 GS: Price, Mileage, Colours, Specs, Features

BMW Motorrad has been ranked as one of the most reliable names in the adventure motorcycle market. The BMW GS range is legendary, with models such as the R 1300 GS establishing standards in the fields of touring, off-roading and comfortable everyday riding. Today, BMW is ready to introduce a more affordable model to India – BMW F 450 GS. The F 450 GS is set to be introduced in December 2025, and will be placed lower in the BMW range than the F 750 GS and R 1300 GS, being an entry-level adventure bike with the DNA of the GS, but at a lower price point.
