GS Africa is set to take delivery of the much anticipated BMW F 450 GS
BMW has confirmed that its newest lightweight adventure bike will be rolling into dealerships before the end of 2025, and we’ve now got a much clearer idea of what it’s bringing to the table.
The good news is that GS Africa is set to take delivery of the first bikes to hit our shores.
The F450GS won’t have an easy ride, though. It’s jumping straight into a busy category already packed with options like Triumph’s Scrambler 400 XC, Royal Enfield’s Himalayan, and of course, plenty of orange competition from KTM. But BMW clearly wants this bike to stand out.
Under the tank, you’ll find a fresh 450cc parallel-twin engine that puts out a claimed 47.4 horsepower. Weight comes in at around 385 pounds—BMW hasn’t said if that’s wet or dry—but either way, the numbers suggest a solid power-to-weight ratio for a middleweight ADV. It’s shaping up to be a seriously fun contender in the lightweight adventure scene.
