We're Getting BMW's New Small-Displacement Off-Road Motorcycle Real Soon: Report

The small-displacement trend continues to go strong within the motorcycling world, as more and more manufacturers launch, debut, or tease new models. And one of the biggest debuts in recent memory, at least in terms of the concept and the outpouring of eagerness for the motorcycle, is obviously BMW's upcoming F450 GS. 

I've been waiting for this motorcycle on bated breath ever since it dropped cover last year, as the proportions, the smaller engine, and the overall rugged design that mimics its awesome bigger siblings, look utterly fantastic in my opinion. If you don't know already, I'm a big fan of small adventure bikes, and small bikes in general, with the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 being my current lord and savior. 

But while we've had teases of the F450 GS here and there, along with a new patent drawing of a production version, and the designer himself saying the bike is coming, it's been all quiet on the Western Front from BMW since its debut at EICMA last year. That, however, might be changing as, reportedly, for the anniversary of its concept debut, the production machine will be shown at this year's show.
