BMW Motorrad’s compact adventure bike, the BMW F 450 GS, has quietly started accepting bookings in India as dealerships prepare for an official debut around the year-end. Dealers are already taking refundable pre-bookings — a sign that BMW expects strong demand in the mid-capacity adventure segment.
What’s open now: bookings and deposits
Several authorised BMW Motorrad dealers across major Indian cities have begun taking unofficial pre-bookings for the BMW F 450 GS. Booking amounts reported by outlets vary between ₹10,000 and ₹25,000 (some reports cite dealer-dependent figures up to ₹50,000), typically refundable and intended to prioritise early deliveries. Customers placing these pre-bookings have been told they may receive delivery priority once official shipments begin.
Engine, features and what makes it a GS
The BMW F 450 GS is powered by a newly developed 450cc parallel-twin engine co-developed within the BMW group ecosystem; BMW lists peak output at 48 hp (≈48 PS) and 43 Nm of torque — figures that position it as an A2-class compatible, lightweight GS with genuine off-road intent. Standard kit includes a 6.5-inch TFT display, riding modes (Rain, Road, Enduro), ABS Pro, Dynamic Traction Control (DTC), Dynamic Brake Control (DBC) and optional Easy Ride Clutch / Quickshifter tech on higher variants. The bike‘s compact weight and GS styling carry the family DNA into a more accessible capacity.
Price expectations — what to expect on road
BMW has not yet announced official India pricing. Industry trackers and Indian portals estimate an ex-showroom range of roughly ₹4.0–5.0 lakh, which would translate to an on-road price in many cities of around ₹5.0–6.0 lakh, depending on state taxes, variant and optional accessories. These numbers are unofficial estimates and should be treated as indicative until BMW reveals local pricing.
Launch timeline and deliveries
While BMW’s global unveiling took place at EICMA 2025, India’s official launch is expected around India Bike Week/December or in early 2026 with deliveries to follow. Dealers accepting pre-bookings say early customers will be prioritized for the first allocation. Watch for an official BMW Motorrad India announcement for confirmed variant, pricing and delivery dates.
Bottom line
For buyers tracking the BMW F 450 GS, now is the time to register interest — but treat dealer booking amounts as refundable placeholders until BMW India confirms on-road prices and official launch details. If you’re hunting a true GS experience in a lighter, more city-friendly package, the F 450 GS looks poised to be one of the most compelling options in its segment.
