BMW F450 GS Review - Real BMW Or Another G310 GS?

The new BMW F 450 GS is finally here and I got the opportunity to ride it for a short duration in and around Goa to see if it can be termed as the perfect entry level BMW GS. Available in three variants, the prices for the baby GS starts at Rs 4.70 lakh and the top-end variant, Trophy, costs Rs 5.30 lakh (ex-showroom). While the now-discounted G310 GS was co-developed by BMW and TVS, this is entirely a BMW product with design and feature inspired from the big GS offerings. This features a new frame and a new parallel twin 420cc engine that produces 48bhp and 43Nm. In this quick ride review, I have spoken about quality, features, ride and performance aspects. I’ll cover its off-road performance once I have it for a longer duration. Note - This is an editorial piece, and the media unit was given by BMW during the F450 GS’s media ride in Goa.
