BMW's New Small Off-Road Motorcycle Is Coming Soon, and We’ve Got the Juicy Details

We've been waiting for more information on BMW's F450GS since we learned about the concept model earlier this year, and now we have it. The latest lightweight adventure bike from the Bavarian manufacturer will be on dealership floors before the end of 2025, and we've finally got more information about what shape it'll take.

This model will already be entering a fairly stacked field, with the likes of Triumph's Scrambler 400 XC, Royal Enfield's Himalayan, and plenty of models from KTM filling the niche. But BMW has ensured the F450GS will come out swinging.

Powering the F450GS will be an all-new 450cc parallel twin-cylinder engine, which puts out a claimed 47.4 hp, and the bike will weigh around 385 lbs, although whether that's wet or dry is unknown. Either way, it'll have a healthy(ish) power-to-weight ratio for the class.
