BMW has shown the new Concept F 450 GS which previews a future road-going small-capacity adventure bike from the Bavarian brand. 

  • Headlight similar to R 1300 GS
  • Uses cross-spoke wheels, 6.5-inch TFT dash
  • Road-legal model will come in 2025

BMW Concept F 450 GS: what is known?

The exact displacement of the Concept F 450 GS’ motor isn’t known but going by the name it should be in the 450cc ballpark. This engine is rated for 48hp and BMW claims that the Concept F 450 GS weighs ‘close to 175kg.’ When it comes to the firing order, things get a little interesting. BMW claims this engine uses a never-before-seen firing order, which means this won’t be a 270-degree firing order. 

But, BMW also claims that this engine has a broad spread of torque right from the low revs. The company also has a clearly defined nomenclature for their model lineups, wherein the current-gen F models all have a twin-cylinder engine with a 270-degree firing order. All these signs point to the fact that the new 450 engine will use a firing order that mimics a 270-crank. For instance, KTM’s parallel-twin engines use a 285-degree firing order. 

The Concept F 450 GS has a similar headlight to the R 1300 GS and it also uses a 6.5-inch TFT dash, cross-spoke wheels and fully-adjustable suspension. It remains to be seen how much of this equipment carries forward to the production-spec bike which is slated to break cover in 2025.
