About the BMW Motorrad F 450 GS

Overview

The BMW Motorrad F 450 GS is a motorcycle from BMW Motorrad. It is currently on sale. With a 420 cc engine it sits in the 250–450 cc class.

Engine and performance

Power comes from a 420 cc twin-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that makes 48.67 bhp at 8,750 rpm and 43 Nm of torque at 6,750 rpm. Its bore is wider than its stroke (72 mm x 51.6 mm), a short-stroke layout that generally favours higher revs. Divide power by kerb weight and it has about 277 PS per tonne; by that measure, it is genuinely fast, well beyond everyday traffic speeds. The claimed top speed is 165 km/h. It has electric start.

Gearbox

It has a 6-speed manual gearbox with a 1-down, 5-up shift pattern, and a chain carries drive to the rear wheel. It uses a wet multi-plate clutch.

Chassis, brakes and tyres

It is built around a steel tubular space frame. Suspension is by KYB USD telescopic fork at the front and aluminum swinging arm, directly linked KYB WAD spring strut at the rear. Braking is by a 310 mm disc at the front and a 240 mm disc at the rear, with dual-channel ABS. ABS on both wheels keeps either tyre from locking under hard braking.

Size, comfort and range

The seat is 845 mm off the ground, which is on the tall side, so shorter riders may want to try it first. It weighs 178 kg ready to ride, which is on the heavy side, so moving it by hand takes some effort. The wheelbase is 1,465 mm. Its 14 L fuel tank and claimed mileage of 26 kmpl work out to roughly 364 km per tankful on paper; real-world range is usually lower.

Features and equipment

Equipment includes 6.5 " TFT Display, call and SMS alerts, gear position indicator, service due indicator, ride-by-wire throttle, heated grips, engine temperature indicator and low fuel indicator. Safety equipment includes engine kill switch, side-stand engine cut-off, side-stand warning, hazard light switch, traction control and malfunction indicator. It has two riding modes: Rain and Road and Enduro.

Who it suits

Its tall seat suits taller riders best. With this much performance, it is better as a step-up bike than a first bike.

Care notes for this model

Its chain drive needs regular cleaning, lubrication and slack adjustment.

Maintaining the BMW Motorrad F 450 GS

  • Routine servicing

    Follow the schedule in the owner's manual for your exact variant and year. A regular service is the cheapest way to catch small problems before they become expensive ones.

  • Engine oil & filter

    Engine oil is the single most important consumable to keep fresh. Top up between services if the level drops, and change it on schedule.

  • Brake inspection

    With Disc, 310 mm, 4 piston caliper and Disc, 240 mm, 1 piston caliper brakes, check pad or shoe wear, lever and pedal free play, and braking feel at every service.

  • Chain cleaning & lubrication

    A clean, correctly tensioned and lubricated chain lasts longer and wastes less power. Check slack regularly, especially after riding in rain or dust.

  • Coolant & cooling system

    A liquid-cooled engine relies on coolant. Check the level and look over hoses and the radiator for leaks or damage, and replace coolant as the owner's manual directs.

  • Air filter & spark plug

    A clogged air filter or worn spark plug shows up as hard starting, weak throttle response and poorer fuel economy. Both are checked at a regular service and replaced when worn.

  • Disc brake fluid

    Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, which lowers its boiling point. Have its level and condition checked and change it on the interval in the owner's manual.

  • Tyre inspection

    Check pressure, tread depth and sidewalls, and replace tyres that are worn or cracked.

  • Battery & electricals

    The battery is listed as 12V, 8Ah MF. Weak starting, dim lights or a flickering console are early signs the battery or charging system needs a look.

BMW Motorrad F 450 GS specs explained

What the technical terms on this page mean.

ABS
Anti-lock braking system. It stops a wheel locking up during hard braking so the rider can keep steering. A single-channel system works on one wheel, usually the front; a dual-channel system works on both.
Liquid cooling
Coolant circulates through the engine and a radiator, keeping temperatures steadier than air alone, especially in traffic or under load.
Ride-by-wire
The throttle grip sends an electronic signal instead of pulling a cable, which allows features such as ride modes and cruise control.
Upside-down fork
A front fork mounted the opposite way round to a conventional one, with the thicker tubes at the top. It is typically stiffer under braking and cornering.
Tubeless tyres
Tyres with no inner tube. A small puncture usually loses air slowly, which makes roadside repair easier.
Kerb weight
The weight of the bike ready to ride, with its fluids and fuel, but without a rider or luggage.
Bore x stroke
The cylinder's width and the piston's travel. A larger bore relative to stroke tends to favour revs; a longer stroke tends to favour low-speed pull.
Compression ratio
How much the fuel-air mixture is squeezed before it is ignited. It is one of the factors behind an engine's efficiency and power.
