BMW F 450 GS India Launch Tomorrow

BMW Motorrad is set to launch the F 450 GS in India tomorrow, April 23, 2026. The upcoming adventure motorcycle will effectively take over as the brand’s new entry point in the GS lineup, following the discontinuation of the G 310 GS last year.

The F 450 GS is being manufactured locally at TVS Motor Company’s Hosur facility, with production having already commenced in late 2025. Bookings for the motorcycle have opened recently, and deliveries are expected to begin as early as next month.

BMW is likely to place the F 450 GS somewhere in between the more accessible options and the higher-end middleweight ADVs. On one hand, it will take on bikes like the KTM 390 Adventure R (Rs 3.78 lakh), while on the other, it edges closer to more premium offerings such as the Honda NX500 (Rs 6.33 lakh). We expect prices to start at around Rs 4.90 lakh ( all prices, ex-showroom).
