If you’re here, it’s because the adventure bike world gets your blood pumping just as much as it does ours. And today we’re talking about a motorcycle that’s stirred up way more controversy than BMW ever expected. The mid-displacement trail segment is on fire. Over the last three years, brands like KTM with the 390 Adventure R, Honda with the NX500, Royal Enfield with the Himalayan 450, CFMoto with the 450MT, and even Voge with the 525DSX have completely redefined what it means to offer an adventure bike that’s accessible, tech-packed, and genuinely capable off the tarmac. The segment has grown so much that no major manufacturer can afford to ignore it anymore. And BMW knows it. That’s why, after years of trying to fill that gap with the G310 GS, a bike that, let’s be honest, never really won people over in this category, the Bavarian brand is stepping up with its big bet: the 2026 BMW F 450 GS.

I don't think it makes sense to criticize this bike for not being enough off-road. Obviusly he who wants to do more extreme off-road won't buy it; there are lot of specific bikes for it. This bike is an intermediate multipurpose version very well taylored for most of its potential buyers. Just a few people really want an Husqvarna and even less know how to use it properly.
Just a few days ago I tried it on a very twisted and a bit bumpy tarmac road and the bike feels fantastic from the start, it makes you feel very confident for leaning, breaking and still has a very decent engine performance.
It is still one of the lightest midleweight adv bikes… F450 gs and Kove800. Those would be my choices in a middleweight adv/tourer bike
I’d gladly change that for the Kove 800gt with double the HP for aditional 15kg and a bunch of other luxury goodies on it and higher suspension capacity at a lower price… only thing that saves BMW on my list is that they arenin my city and Kove not…
Good to know. I bought it, Trophy version with spoked wheels, raisers, Rally seat and Akrapovic. And I’m happy! 🇮🇹 😉
Va Honda nx500 on highway ride
BMW MUST MAKE WORLD 🌍🌎 CLASS BIKES THIS BIKE IS NOT GOOD
Click bait by an individual who probably has never ridden a 450GS.
SILLY COMPARISONS IN THIS VIDEO RELATED TO EXTREME OFF ROAD MACHINES – VERSUS COMPROMISE MACHINES THAT HAVE BOTH ON ROAD AND OFF ROAD CAPABILITY VERSUS EXTREME HIGHWAY MACHINES…………………………………………….
AT THE TAIL END OF THE VIDEO ONE RIDER IS SEEN CLOCKED AT 157 KPH AND SUCH A SPEED WOULD GENERATE MAJOR VIBRATION IN MOST BIKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BUILDING A BIKE THAT CAN DO IT ALL – SEAMLESSLY AND EFFORTLESSLY WHILE ALSO KEEPING THE PRICE WAY DOWN IS OBVIOUSLY IMPOSSIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THUS IT SEEMS THE MAKERS OF THIS CLICK BAIT VIDEO ARE SEEKING TO SMEAR BMW BECAUSE THEY FEAR BMW IS GOING TO DOMINATE THE MARKET WITH THEIR 450!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THERE IS AN OBVIOUS QUESTION RELATED TO THE DEFINITION OF "HIGHWAY SPEEDS"………………………………..
HERE IN CANADA – HIGHWAY SPEEDS ARE LIMITED TO 100KPH OR LESS………………………………….
WHICH THE BMW 450 WOULD LIKELY DO FAIRLY WELL………………………………….
HOWEVER – IN THE VIDEO I NOTED ONE RIDER WITH THE SPEEDO HITTING 130KPH AND OF COURSE SUCH A SPEED IS ILLEGAL IN CANADA AND SUCH A SPEED WOULD PRODUCE NOTABLE VIBRATIONS IN ANY BIKE UNDER 50 HORSEPOWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I WAS ONCE THE OWNER OF A 4 CYLINDER HONDA CB 500 AND THERE WAS NO VIBRATION IN THOSE HANDLE BARS AT ANY SPEED – I EVEN HAD THE BIKE UP TO 100 MILES PER HOUR ON A SHORT RUN JUST TO TEST – SO IF YOU PLAN ON LONG RIDES AT "HIGHWAY SPEEDS OF 100KPH OR ABOVE – YOU WILL REQUIRE A TWO CYLINDER BIKE LIKE THE BMW 450 OR THE HONDA NX 500!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
RECENTLY I HAD A TALK WITH THE OWNER OF A HONDA NX 500 AND HE BASICALLY LIKED THE BIKE BUT FOUND THE VIBRATION AND VALVE NOISE OF THE TWIN CYLINDER BIKE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS TO BE ANNOYING – I DID NOT RIDE THE BIKE MYSELF THOUGH………..
NX500 IS RATED AS 47 HORSEPOWER WHILE THE OLD CB500 WAS RATED AT 48 HORSEPOWER – SO IF YOU WANT VIBRATION FREE HIGHWAY TRAVEL THEN YOU WANT MULTI CYLINDERS………………………………..
BUT IT IS FAIR TO SAY THAT MAINTENANCE ON A SINGLE CYLINDER BIKE IS EASIER AND LOWER COST DUE TO THE REDUCED NUMBER OF VALVES THAT NEED CUMBERSOME AND TIME CONSUMING ADJUSTMENTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THUS MIXING IN SINGLE CYLINDER BIKES ALONG WITH TWIN CYLINDER BIKES MAKES FOR AN UNFAIR COMPARISON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YOU DO GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR – THUS LOWER PRICE EQUALS VARIOUS NIGGLING LITTLE ANNOYANCES THAT WILL NOT BE FOUND ON A HIGHER PRICED BIKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THE AWKWARD ISSUES BEING IGNORED IN THIS SAD VIDEO RELATE TO BETTER BMW QUALITY AND RELIABILITY OVER ALL AND SUPERIOR AVAILABILITY OF ASSORTED PARTS TO KEEP OLDER BIKES RUNNING LONGER – THUS AVOIDING THE PLANNED OBSOLESCENCE THAT CAN SIDELINE SO MANY BIKE FROM OTHER MAKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IN RELATED NEWS – KTM 390 AND ROYAL ENFIELD 450 AND OTHER SINGLE CYLINDER BIKES WILL NOT BE AS COMFORTABLE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS DUE TO THEIR SINGLE CYLINDER THAT WILL THROW OUT ANNOYING VIBRATION THROUGH THE HANDLE BARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THUS BMW 450 IS AHEAD OF THESE OTHER MACHINES ON COMFORT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
6 reason not to buy anything
BMW EVOLVING INTO CHINA BIKES
When you buy a BMW, buy >= 700cc
By the way ducati, aprillia, Volkswagen, rolls Royce, Bentley have filed for bankruptcy. These companies do have nice offerings but are fragile and nonreliable
Spoke wheels blah blah
AI slop
bmw è uno status symbol, è andare in giro con la maglietta firmata con sotto scritto il prezzo. Niente di strano ne di condannabile è un modo per distinguersi non per qualità, prestazioni ma solo per prezzo, come ducati. Se al possessore gli muovi una qualsiasi critica la risposta è, tipico, sempre la stessa: sei invidioso perchè non te la puoi permettere.
Stop buying the Chinese crap.Only japanese motors ore Europian.
Your iphones are mad in India
Terima kasih Reviewnya, Alhamdulillah gak jadi beli. Nanti dlu aja..
Sounds like AI slop. Anyone into bikes never says EICMA like that.
Like the weight though. I'm seeing 393 fully fueled
Your iPhone 📱 made in USA 🇺🇸?
That's not an ADV, that's a Scrambler lying to you. Urban Sandbike at best. Being forced to by a ERC that rolls off its stand while parked or Rolls back when you spin out on a Hill this bike is a Hard no.
You've repeated yourself twice.
This video just sounds like a hater. You make some good points, sure. But all in all you just sound like a hater of BMW.
Its almost 10 grand USD here. Crap
The main reason i vote for bmw is its after sales service compare to other brands here
#4 and #6 are a killer for me. I rather wait for a baby Tenere or TransAlp. I want to size down from my G650GS, but i already complain about vibration and the wind protection.
Indian made bmw is no longer bmw.
It is not bmw India factory. it's from 100% India manufacturer tvs?
Wearing a bmw bagde, but it does not look precious.
Tempo sei secondi e ho chiuso il video! Tradotto dall'I.A. è penoso.
450MT has a 270 degree crank not 180 as stated.
ktm390 adv is winner.
The clutch sucks.
Reason 1=Reason 2. Reason 3 is .. well not serious.
Reason 4 OK, IMO it matters. Reason 5.. OK
Reason 6… I can't think of 1 adventure motorcycle that actually does that
They should have at least made it a 450. 😢😢😢😢
Nonsense
Its way too heavy!
C’est la seule vidéo de la toile à dire de ne pas l’acheter. 😂
Sounds like going completely backwards from F650GS with Rotax single. Also a vibrator, but absolutely indestructible!
Wow,, you are clearly a very deviclve stooge. Taking whatever cash gets thrown at you feet.
I have just bought two of these bikes, increasing my family collection from 41 to 43. One of those is a KTM 390R Adv. An incredible bike, even straight out the box.
You are a paid stooge and should not be commeting on motorcycles of any kind, full stop.
日本ではかなり安い価格で提供されている。中間モデルのスポーツで984,000円、6,150米ドルである。ただしアフターパーツ類がかなり高額に設定されていると思われる。
