BMW has unveiled the F 450 GS, a new entry-level adventure bike. Powered by a 420cc parallel-twin producing 48 hp and 44 Nm, it weighs 178kg with an 845mm seat height. Built by India's TVS Motor, it launches in Europe from spring 2026, with UK pricing starting at £7,760 for the Trophy trim.

Looking at the spec sheet, a 420cc parallel twin at 48hp — positioned exquisitely above the G 310 GS yet more accessible than the F 800 GS. TVS manufacturing is another plus, already proven reliable with the old G 310 series. What's irresistible: how they'll pull off that pulsing twin feel from a 135-degree crank. A setup that gets my pulse up.

An 845mm seat height sounds like tough flat-footing - at 170cm, how bad would it be?

Even at 178kg, 845mm seat height means you'll want to be careful about tip-overs until you get used to it.

£7,760 will probably end up over 1.5 million yen in Japan. That's not exactly an entry-level price.

420cc, 48hp, 178kg - a nice sweet spot above the G310GS.

With TVS manufacturing it, wonder how the build quality feels. Isn't the BMW badge tax pretty steep?

BMW's entry-level GS finally arrives! Been waiting for a 450-class adventure bike from them.

In the same class this goes head-to-head with the KTM 390 Adventure.
