BMW Motorrad celebrated 10 years of production at its Manaus plant at Festival Interlagos Motos 2026, revealing it has built 150,000 motorcycles in Brazil. It unveiled a 10th-anniversary R 1300 GS Adventure limited to 10 numbered units, and showed the in-development F 450 GS (48 hp, 178 kg) for market research. Brazil is BMW Motorrad's fifth-largest market worldwide.

Look at the spec sheet and the real story isn't the anniversary model — it's the in-development F 450 GS. 48 hp, 178 kg: clearly lighter than the old middleweight GS. Those are numbers aimed at setting a new midsize-adventure benchmark. A base of 150,000 units built in Manaus is what lets them field it. This finished at the market-research stage — that's the good part.

150,000 units in ten years — it's quietly taken root.

An anniversary edition of just 10 units — basically a showpiece, right?

Never mind the 10 anniversary units — I care about the production F450's price.

Riding the Amazon on a Manaus-built GS is just too good.

The F450GS at 48 hp and 178 kg is a genuinely light, good set of numbers.

The F450 feels like a perfect match for South America's unpaved roads.

Brazil being BMW's fifth-biggest market is a bit surprising.
