BMW F 450 GS, the test of the adventure motorbike for asphalt and offroad: price and equipment

BMW F 450 GS is arriving in spring 2026, with a starting price of 7,590 euros. Four setups available: in addition to the standard one, the Bavarian company offers the small twin-cylinder Adventure in the variants Exclusive, Sport (in video in red color) e GS Trophy (on video in the traditional white-red-blue livery). The latter is characterized by the ERC (Easy Ride Clutch) as standard, while it is optional for the others. This is a system that allows the rider not only to use the bike’s gearbox like any bidirectional quickshifter, but also allows you to engage first gear, when stationary, without pulling the clutch. The latter therefore assists the driver in all phases of travel, from starting to stopping, without the motorbike ever dropping excessively in revs and without ever risking it switching off. For all, the power is set at 48 HP for 43 Nm of torque and 178 kg of weight without a full tank of petrol. With 19-17″ rims it performs exceptionally on asphalt, where it gives its best, while off-road it allows – even without shining – to tackle moderately demanding routes. It amazes with its construction quality, far from saving. The relationship between quality, price and performance is one of the best in the segment
