BMW F 450 GS India Debut Confirmed For April 23: Here's What to Expect

The F 450 GS was previously showcased in concept form at the Bharat Mobility Global Auto Expo 2025. The upcoming debut will bring the production-spec version to India.

The F 450 GS is based on a new mid-capacity platform and moves away from the single-cylinder setup seen on the G 310 GS. This platform is expected to underpin multiple future models, including roadsters and faired motorcycles. It will also serve as the entry point into BMW Motorrad’s twin-cylinder GS lineup. The design follows BMW’s GS styling with a beak-style front, upright stance and exposed frame sections. The motorcycle will be offered with multiple seat options, including split and rally configurations. Globally, the model is available in Basic, Exclusive, Sport and GS Trophy variants. The final variant lineup for India will be confirmed at launch.
