BMW Motorrad Philippines has officially launched the all-new BMW F 450 GS, introducing its newest entry-level adventure motorcycle to the local market.
The new F 450 GS is positioned below the larger GS models while remaining expressway-legal thanks to its new 420cc twin-cylinder engine. It is offered in two variants: the Exclusive variant priced at PHP 498,000, and the Sport variant priced at PHP 548,000.
Inspired by BMW’s larger GS adventure motorcycles, the F 450 GS features the brand’s signature beak design, X-shaped LED headlight, tall windscreen, and a 14-liter fuel tank. It rides on 19-inch front and 17-inch rear aluminum cast wheels wrapped in Maxxis Maxxplore tires.
Power comes from a newly developed 420cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine producing 48 hp at 8,750 rpm and 43 Nm of torque at 6,750 rpm. The engine is paired with a six-speed transmission and chain final drive.
The motorcycle also comes equipped with BMW Motorrad ABS Pro, Dynamic Traction Control (DTC), four riding modes consisting of Road, Rain, Enduro, and Enduro Pro, along with BMW Shift Assistant Pro for clutchless gear shifts.
The Sport variant further adds fully adjustable suspension for riders looking for improved off-road capability.
Other highlights include a TFT instrument display, upside-down front forks, adjustable rear suspension, and a lightweight chassis with a fully fueled weight of 178kg.

The BMW F 450 GS Exclusive is priced at PHP 498,000, while the BMW F 450 GS Sport retails for PHP 548,000.
