BMW Concept F 450 GS

The BMW Concept F 450 GS is a prototype dual-sport motorcycle developed by BMW Motorrad, unveiled in November 2024 at the EICMA motorcycle show in Milan as a preview of the production F 450 GS that followed a year later. It marked the return of BMW to the small-displacement adventure segment below 500 cc and introduced a new 420 cc parallel-twin engine rated at 35 kW (47 hp), suitable for the European A2 licence category. The concept had a minimalist steel bridge frame, long-travel suspension, a 21 inch front and 17 inch rear wheel, and styling inspired by the larger R 1300 GS and F 800 GS, with LED lighting including an X-shaped daytime running light, a TFT display and a target dry weight of 175 kg, in bright yellow and grey paintwork. The production version, unveiled in November 2025, kept the twin-cylinder engine, chassis layout and styling and added rider aids such as ABS Pro and Dynamic Brake Control.
