BMW Motorrad Malaysia has introduced the all-new BMW F 450 GS, marking the return of the legendary GS spirit in a lighter and more agile form. First showcased as a concept model at the EICMA international motorcycle exhibition in 2024, the production version of the BMW F 450 GS retains the distinctive design identity and high-performance engineering of that original vision. This model is specifically designed for riders seeking the perfect balance between daily usability, long-distance comfort, and off-road capability, without the weight and complexity often associated with larger-displacement motorcycles. Benjamin Nagel, Managing Director of BMW Group Malaysia, said: “The GS legacy has always been about freedom — the freedom to explore, adapt, and push beyond boundaries, whether on the road or off it. With the new BMW F 450 GS, we are bringing that same concept to more riders in Malaysia. This is not just a scaled-down model, but a motorcycle specifically developed to embody all the features synonymous with GS: agility, versatility, and genuine riding enjoyment, in a package that offers easy control the moment you twist the throttle. Whether navigating city traffic, carving through winding mountain roads, or tackling challenging terrain, the BMW F 450 GS delivers the confidence and capability that define the GS name.” He added: “The new BMW F 450 GS meets the demand for a lighter, more manageable motorcycle that makes no compromises in quality or technology. It offers an exhilarating riding experience, handling every corner as if moving in sync with the rider’s instincts, while remaining stable and reassuring no matter the destination. For riders who prioritise genuine capability over sheer size, this model delivers the most authentic GS riding experience.” Highlights: At the heart of the BMW F 450 GS is a brand-new, liquid-cooled 420cc parallel-twin engine. It produces maximum power of 35 kW (48 hp) at 8,750 rpm and peak torque of 43 Nm at 6,750 rpm, enabling acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.9 seconds and a top speed of 165 km/h, while maintaining low fuel consumption of 3.8 l/100 km. A wet sump lubrication system with a chain-driven oil pump ensures consistent oil supply.
