The long-awaited BMW F 450 GS has been seen testing once more, and this time the design looks almost ready for production. This new ADV, which will be made by TVS and should be available in India by late 2025, looks like it will be the easiest way to join the famous GS family.
BMW F 450 GS: Slim, Road-Focused Adventure Tourer
New spy pictures show that the F 450 GS leans toward an ADV setup that is better for the road. The shape is sleek, and the single front disc suggests that it’s not heavy, which riders will likely like for both city riding and light tours. The unique X-shaped DRL on the headlamps looks like the style on the bigger R 1300 GS, but this one has stacked LEDs instead of a single unit.

BMW F 450 GS: Loaded with Practical Add-Ons
As well as a top box, bash plate, crash guards, and knuckle shields, the test bike had other useful parts that made it more practical. The 19-inch front and 17-inch rear alloy wheels and dual-purpose tires made for roads make it look like this machine was made more for the road than for tough tracks. That being said, BMW might offer spoked wheels as an extra.
Comfortable Ergonomics and Expected Pricing
True to its ADV roots, the F 450 GS looks to have a spacious and neutral riding triangle, ideal for long hours in the saddle. When it hits the market later this year, it’s expected to be priced around ₹5 lakh (approximately $6,000 USD, ex-showroom). Once launched, it’ll go head-to-head with the Honda NX500 and CFMoto 450 MT.
