- BMW posted a first look at the production F 450 GS and set a global premiere for early November at the EICMA show in Milan.
- The model is built on a new 450cc parallel-twin platform co-developed with TVS Motor, with reports citing outputs of about 48 bhp and 45 Nm paired with a 6-speed gearbox.
- Media reports indicate TVS will handle manufacturing in India for a local launch followed by exports, with timing for India expected in 2026 pending official confirmation.
- Expected equipment includes 19-inch front and 17-inch rear alloy wheels, upside-down forks, a monoshock, full-LED lighting, a 6.5-inch TFT, multiple ride modes, cornering ABS and traction control.
- Positioning centers on an entry GS for the sub-500cc adventure segment to rival bikes like Honda NX500 and CFMoto 450 MT, with pricing to be announced and current estimates varying by outlet.
