BMW F 450 GS Review Part 1: Is This The Perfect Middleweight ADV?



The BMW F 450 GS is finally here, and in Part 1 of our review, we take it through the city and out on a proper touring run to see what this new middleweight adventure motorcycle is really like to live with.

From its twin-cylinder engine, ERC system and city ergonomics to highway cruising, comfort, cornering and long-distance ability, Varun and Anant put the F 450 GS through its paces. And somewhere along the way, the motorcycle itself has a few things to say.

Is the BMW F 450 GS as good in the real world as it looks on paper? How does it perform in traffic? Is it comfortable at 120–130 km/h? And does the electronic clutch system actually make sense for Indian riding conditions?

This is Part 1 of our BMW F 450 GS review, covering its city and touring abilities. Stay tuned for Part 2, where we take the baby GS further.

  1. Every video makes me fall in love with this channel more and more. It always gives me goosebumps—the cinematography, edits, dialogues, everything is just on point. It doesn’t feel like a random YouTube video; it feels like a big-production movie.

  2. Is it absolutely necessary to have those saree guards on bikes used for review videos, especially performance-oriented adventure motorcycles? They look incredibly ugly! The bike looks amazing otherwise, though. Great review!

  3. I remember seeing powerdrift for first time ever since being follower of Autocar and other magazines… powerdrift clearly knows how to capture audience..when i first saw them felt it very much….and now this review seems very much packed up fot Gen Z as well 😂

    Cool…❤

  4. You can count on two things here. Power drift videos being top quality production.
    Second, comment section demanding raise for the production team after every banger video. 😂

    Bhai, kabhi kabhi to lagta hai production team waale hi dusre account se aakar apne liye raise ki expectation set kar rahe hai. Lekin video ki production quality dekh kar mera khud ka mann kehne lagta hai ke "give your team a raise" 😂❤
