Overview

  • Patent images reveal a production-spec design that closely mirrors BMW's larger 1300 GS, featuring an X-shaped DRL headlamp, pronounced beak and compact windscreen.
  • The new entry-level model is powered by a 450 cc parallel-twin engine rated at roughly 47 BHP and paired with a six-speed gearbox.
  • Underpinned by upside-down front forks, a mono-shock rear suspension and alloy wheels, the F 450 GS is fitted with disc brakes on both ends for balanced handling.
  • While BMW has not confirmed optional features, rumors indicate the bike may offer a semi-automatic gearbox to enhance segment competitiveness.
  • Reports suggest BMW will locally assemble the F 450 GS in India through TVS Motor Company ahead of its market debut.
