BMW F 450 GS prices hiked by up to Rs 30,000 in India

Key highlights

• BMW F 450 GS prices have increased by up to Rs 30,000
• Base and Exclusive variants get a Rs 25,000 hike
• The motorcycle remains mechanically unchanged

BMW Motorrad has increased the prices of the F 450 GS in India, with the latest revision making the adventure motorcycle up to Rs 30,000 more expensive. The hike applies across all three variants, while the mechanical package remains unchanged.

All prices are ex-showroom.

Everything else remains the same

The F 450 GS continues to use a 420 cc, liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine producing 48 bhp at 8,750 rpm and 43 Nm at 6,750 rpm. It is paired with a six-speed gearbox and gets a steel trellis frame, USD fork and monoshock suspension.

The motorcycle rides on a 19-inch front and 17-inch rear wheel setup. While the standard variants use alloy wheels, the GS Trophy gets tubeless wire-spoke wheels. Features across the range include riding modes, cornering traction control, ABS and Dynamic Brake Control, with information displayed on a 6.5-inch TFT screen.

The range-topping GS Trophy remains the most comprehensively equipped version. It gets adjustable suspension, BMW’s Easy Ride Clutch system and additional equipment aimed at off-road riding. The Exclusive variant sits between the Base and Trophy versions with additional protection and off-road-oriented equipment.

The price hike comes at an interesting time for the F 450 GS. BMW had previously temporarily halted bookings in India after the initial allocation was booked out, with strong demand resulting in lengthy waiting periods in several cities.

Final thoughts

A Rs 25,000 to Rs 30,000 price increase is unlikely to change the F 450 GS’s core proposition, but it does make an already premium middleweight adventure motorcycle a little harder to justify on price alone.
