BMW Teases New F 450 R Streetfighter Launching October 1, 2026
BMW Motorrad has teased the upcoming F 450 R, a new 450cc naked streetfighter set for launch on October 1, 2026. Built on the same platform as the recently introduced F 450 GS adventure tourer, the F 450 R is expected to feature a 420cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine producing 48 hp and 43 Nm of torque. Designed for sporty, urban riding, it will likely have revised suspension and ergonomics compared to the GS, targeting the sub-500cc performance segment alongside competitors like KTM and Aprilia.
