BMW Motorrad

Earlier this year, BMW dropped nan Concept F 450 GS. It was a very near-production concept, and it presaged bringing nan entry-level G 310 GS more successful statement pinch nan top-shelf R 1300 GS by giving it sleeker styling, a much off-road-focused design, and moreover a two-cylinder motor to switch nan 310's small single. That conception received a rapturous response, truthful BMW is now giving america nan existent deal. The production-spec F 450 GS is here. 

BMW announced nan F 450 GS up of EICMA, nan Milan Motorcycle Show. There are hardly immoderate changes from nan concept, pinch everything from nan styling to nan motor remaining mostly arsenic shown. The accumulation motorcycle looks to beryllium a spot little to nan crushed than nan concept, and nan muffler sits successful a overmuch little equine than nan concept's subframe bracket, but nan wide motorcycle looks for illustration a awesome measurement to get started pinch escapade motorcycling — aliases motorcycling successful general.

The centerpiece of nan caller babe GS is its parallel copy engine, matching nan cylinder count of nan R 1300 GS and layout of nan F 900 GS. With nan G 310 GS leaving BMW's world lineup astatine nan extremity of 2025, each GS successful BMW's lineup now has 2 cylinders. That's a bully move for the Gelände/Straße line, arsenic a buzzy small azygous cylinder isn't precisely awesome for nan roadworthy trips astatine which nan GS is meant to excel. 

BMW claims nan caller 420-cc motor is bully for 48 horsepower astatine 8,750 rpm and 32 pound-feet of torque astatine 6,750 rpm. Its crank offset, though, is acold little typical: BMW designed nan motor pinch a 135-degree crankshaft, thing I can't callback ever seeing connected a motorcycle before. It's half nan perspective of a 270, meaning its characteristic should consciousness somewhat much for illustration a single. I had to tie truthful galore diagrams and arcane sigils conscionable to understand this firing order, and I can't hold to effort it retired for myself.

The guidelines F 450 GS gets nan requisite thrust modes that each dirt-ish motorcycle has successful 2025, Rain and Road and Enduro, but stepping up to nan GS Trophy trim (the only trim offered successful nan U.S. for 2027) adds BMW's Enduro Pro arsenic good arsenic immoderate very absorbing tech to nan bike's drivetrain. That higher trim gets BMW's Gear Shift Assist Pro quickshifter, but it besides gets nan company's caller Easy Ride Clutch tech — akin to Honda's E-Clutch, BMW claims nan ERC strategy removes immoderate request to touch nan clutch lever while riding. For those times wherever you want to gaffe nan clutch successful nan dirt, though, nan lever's still location to beryllium used. 

The F 450 GS besides gets lean-sensitive ABS and traction power to rein successful nan chassis, though nan motorcycle only has a azygous 12.2-inch rotor up beforehand pinch a four-piston caliper and a 9.5-inch rotor successful backmost pinch a azygous piston. The motorcycle sits connected a 43mm KYB upside-down beforehand fork pinch rebound and compression adjustability, arsenic good arsenic a KYB rear daze that tin beryllium dialed for preload and rebound. It doesn't look to person nan distant accommodation of its bigger brothers, truthful you'll person to bust retired nan wrenches if you scheme connected taking a pillion.

The F 450 GS gets a 6.5-inch TFT dashboard, pinch controls connected nan near handlebar successful emblematic BMW style. That dash has Bluetooth to nexus pinch your telephone and comm system, to let riders to power euphony and telephone calls done nan dash alternatively than navigating nan buttons connected a headset. Personally, though, I'm little willing successful Bluetooth than I am successful nan Style GS Trophy's in-dash "detailed accusation connected DTC, braking power, and thin angle" — I for illustration nan thought of a afloat MotoGP information setup successful my dash. 

I'm very, very excited for nan F 450 GS. I'm a large proponent of escapade bikes arsenic first motorcycles, truthful beginners tin get a sensation for everything nan two-wheeled world has to connection earlier getting thing much specialized for their adjacent bike. With nan F 450 GS, it seems for illustration BMW's taken my beloved G 310 GS and made everything amended — past added nan wildest motor configuration I've seen successful a while. I can't hold for nan property launch.
