A motorcycle that many of the followers of the Bavara firm expect as May water. Especially all those that currently possess the A2 card.

In the technical section, BMW Motorrad bets on a new invoice bicylindrical engine and 48 hp of power that offers an optimal pair even at low revolutions, ideal for driving on and off the road. This will combine with a cycle part where a light chassis stands out, with a weight of 175 kg In line with class A2, maximizing maneuverability and control.
At the level of details, the F 450 GS is expected to have a front inverted fork, upper side output exhaust, crankcase and hand protectors or a front characterized by the “Pato Pato” style fender next to a windshield of good dimensions and totally adjustable. All this combined with last generation electronic elements, where the double channel ABS system, with the possibility of disconnecting it to its posterior wheel, should be included among the standard endowment.
