BMW F 450 GS 2026 Experiences and Expert Review

wolf

The BMW F 450 GS Trophy is far more than just a scaled-down version of the full-size GS. It combines accessible A2-licence-friendly power with a surprising amount of riding pleasure, high-quality features and a genuine sense of adventure. The new twin-cylinder engine impresses with its character, whilst the Easy Ride Clutch noticeably makes everyday riding and light off-road riding easier, without taking control away from the rider. The little GS is particularly at home on winding roads, gravel tracks and rough mountain passes. Its limitations become apparent at motorway speeds, during heavy off-road use, when dealing with a payload and in terms of wind protection. Nevertheless, there’s a surprising amount of GS in the F 450 – a well-rounded everyday and touring companion for beginners, those returning to motorcycling and experienced riders who deliberately want to avoid heavy weight and excessive power.
