BMW has announced North American pricing for the 2027 F 450 GS, its compact adventure model designed to deliver authentic GS handling both on pavement and off. The entry-level bike will start at $6,995, putting it between budget small-displacement rivals and more expensive middleweight machines.
How the F 450 GS is positioned
The price places the F 450 GS in an upper-middle tier among small ADV motorcycles. It lines up closely with the Honda NX500 in cost, sits above low-cost entries such as the CFMoto Ibex 450, and remains notably less expensive than models like the KTM 390 Adventure R.

That pricing strategy suggests BMW aims to attract riders who want a genuine GS feel without stepping up to larger, pricier models in the lineup.
Available trims and added-cost options
The base model is joined by two factory trim packages that raise the sticker price. A Sport edition in Racing Red is listed at $7,795, while the more feature-focused GS Trophy trim carries a $8,195 MSRP.
Both upgraded trims include extra hardware such as handguards, wider footpegs and engine protection. For riders choosing the GS Trophy, BMW offers cross-spoked wheels as a further option for an additional $800.
Powertrain, suspension and brakes
Underneath the bodywork the F 450 GS uses a 420cc twin powerplant rated at about 48 hp at 8,750 rpm and 32 lb-ft of torque at 6,750 rpm. BMW pairs the engine with chassis components intended to balance agility and off-road competence.
An inverted 43mm front fork works with a compression- and rebound-adjustable rear shock to deliver roughly seven inches of wheel travel. Stopping power comes from a single 310mm front disc with a four-piston caliper and a 240mm rear disc with a single-piston caliper.
