BMW F 450 GS was recently launched in the Indian market at an introductory price of Rs 4.70 lakh (ex-showroom) in the Indian market. The bookings for the twin-cylinder adventure bike have begun across the country at all authorized dealerships with first deliveries promised from June 2026. However, when we spoke to BMW Motorrad dealers in major cities such as New Delhi, Pune and Bengaluru, we learnt that the F 450 GS commands a waiting period of at least 4-5 months and it is sold out till Sep 2026 in the country.
The F 450 GS has been developed in Germany but its entire production responsibility is handled by TVS Motor Company at the Hosur manufacturing plant in Tamil Nadu. Though the series production had commenced in late Nov 2025, the waiting period is still higher due to the overwhelming reception received by the adventure motorcycle in India. The India-made F 450 GS is also being exported to several European countries.
Sitting on a a welded tubular steel frame with integrated forged parts, BMW F 450 GS adorns the iconic ‘GS’ design philosophy with peculiar styling elements such as the ‘X’ shaped full LED headlight, front beak, split-seat setup, tapered aluminum handlebar and body-coloured side panels. The fuel tank capacity stands at 14 litres while the standard saddle height is pegged at 845 mm.
The Base and Exclusive variants are available in Cosmic Black Color scheme while the GS Trophy variant is presented in Racing Blue Metallic with accents in red and white.

Riding on 19-inch front and 17-inch rear lightweight aluminum wheels, the F 450 GS has been fitted with tubeless tires.
BMW F 450 GS comes with four ride modes namely Rain, Road, Enduro and Enduro Pro. Some of the notable safety equipment onboard the ADV bike are ABS Pro, Dynamic Brake Control, Dynamic Traction Control and Engine Drag Torque Control. A special mention goes to the 6.5-inch TFT display with multicontroller which gets ‘Pure Ride Screen’ and ‘Sport Screen’ displays.
