The 2027 BMW F 450 GS will arrive to the U.S. in late 2026 or early 2027. The GS Trophy variant is shown in these photos. Fulfilling its promise made last year, BMW has revealed a production-ready version of the BMW F 450 GS adventure bike with full specs that’s slated to be a 2027 model. The production version is very similar to the concept, with the only noticeable differences being a weight gain of 9 lb and less suspension adjustment as standard.  This ADV features a new liquid-cooled 420cc parallel-Twin engine with a bore and stroke of 72 x 51.6mm that is said to deliver 48 hp at 8,750 rpm and 32 lb-ft of torque at 6,750 rpm. It has a crankshaft with crankpins offset by 135 degrees and a counterbalance shaft, which BMW says allows for smoother operation. It comes with a 6-speed transmission and a stainless-steel exhaust system.  The GS Trophy variant adds some new tech to the shifting process. It includes Gear Shift Assistant Pro and Easy Ride Clutch. Working together, these two systems allow the rider to ignore the clutch lever altogether, with clutchless up- and downshifts possible right from the start. This variant still includes a clutch lever than can be used whenever the rider wants to use it, but it isn’t necessary for normal operation of the motorcycle.  Standard equipment includes three ride modes (Rain, Road, and Enduro; Enduro Pro is added to GS Trophy variant), lean-sensitive ABS Pro, Dynamic Brake Control, Dynamic Traction Control, and Engine Drag Torque Control.  The bike features a tubular steel frame, a wheelbase of 57.7 inches, a rake of 28.1 degrees, and trail of 4.5 inches. It uses KYB suspension, including a 43mm inverted telescopic fork (adjustable for rebound and compression) and a central rear shock (adjustable for preload and rebound), both offering 7.1 inches of travel.  Brakes are supplied by Brembo and include a single 4-piston caliper up front pinching a 310mm disc and a 1-piston rear caliper with a 240mm disc. The production version keeps the concept’s cross-spoke wheels, measuring 19 inches in front and 17 inches in the rear and fitted with tubeless tires.  Ergonomics were designed to strike a balance between on-road comfort and off-road capability. It has an aluminum handlebar that’s positioned high and close to the body, and its fuel tank holds 3.6 gallons. The standard two-piece seat sits at a height of 33.3 inches, with a low seat and high Rallye seat available as options. The handlebar levers and foot levers are adjustable. Also included as standard are heated grips and a USB-C charging port.  The bike also includes a 6.5-inch TFT display with Bluetooth connectivity to manage phone notifications, music, and navigation. Taking the lead from its R 1300 GS big brother, the F 450 GS includes the X-shaped LED headlight, as well as LED tunsignals and control lamps.  The GS Trophy variant comes equipped with a list of additional features. It has a Racing Blue Metallic paint, wider off-road footpegs, white handguards, a white main frame, an aluminum engine guard, Ride Modes Pro, Gear Shift Assist Pro, Easy Ride Clutch, adjustable sport suspension, and a Rallye windshield.  Individual options and accessories are many and include an Akrapovič stainless-steel silencer, a tank pad, low and high seats, a touring windscreen, navigation preparation, handlebar risers, protective pieces, plentiful luggage options, and more.  Pricing has not yet been announced, and the 2027 BMW F 450 GS is expected to arrive to the U.S. market around the end of 2026 or early 2027.
