BMW has launched the new adventure bike "F 450 GS." Powered by a 420cc parallel-twin and kept to a curb weight of 178kg, it's an A2-license-compatible lightweight design. UK pricing is expected to start at £6,990. With the R1300 GS anchoring the top of the range, this more accessible, lightweight GS broadens the lineup's base.

The F 450 GS, it's the lightness that hits me hardest. A 420cc twin at 178kg, and A2-compliant on top of it. The engineering finesse of bringing the GS world's character down into the entry level is irresistible. In an adventure market that tends toward big, heavy, and expensive, I think the decision to deliberately go light and affordable is the right call. I want to know the details of the chassis work as soon as possible.

Does A2-compliant mean it can be ridden on a standard motorcycle license in Japan? Just want to confirm.

A lightweight 420cc twin sounds like it'd have reasonable running costs. Could be a real contender depending on the price.

A proper ADV at 178kg and A2-compliant, that's exactly what I was waiting for! This genuinely hits the mark.

In this size class, the CB500X or Transalp are genuine rivals. Can BMW justify the brand premium?

'Lightweight' from BMW probably only applies to the bike itself, the price is anything but light.

If it's light with a good seat height, it could be a real all-rounder for both trails and touring.

So the baby of the GS family is finally a 450. Light weight is everything, way more practical than a big-displacement ADV.
