The BMW F 450 R

Run with the pack

Your crew is here. The city awaits. Time for the next lap. The BMW F 450 R is always ready to break away with you. As a fully fledged Naked Bike in the entry class, it brings 48 hp, a weight of only 175 kg and a whole load of agility to the streets. For bends, group rides and the kind of plans that only get made when you’re on the road.

The F 450 R from BMW Motorrad

Journey information, connectivity and your setup across 6.5 inches: the TFT included as standard connects to your smartphone for telephony, music and, depending on the market, navigation using arrows in conjunction with the BMW Motorrad Connected app. With the riding modes Pro in the M Sport variant, there are three additional sport screens with detailed information on Dynamic Traction Control, brake force, lean angle display and a lap timer function. Additionally, it can also be used to personalise the throttle response, Anti block system and Dynamic Traction Control characteristics.

Drive off and stop without the need to operate the clutch lever: the optional Easy Ride Clutch uses centrifugal force control to automate the gearshift process, thereby making it easy to ride at particularly low speeds and in stop-and-go traffic. In overrun mode, the clutch remains closed, allowing the full engine braking effect to be retained, which is especially beneficial when riding downhill. In combination with the shift assistant Pro, the Easy Ride Clutch ensures an even more fluid ride. At the same time, you will stay in control at all times, as you can still use the clutch lever to manually intervene and take direct control of the motorcycle.

The rim tapes on the M Sport attract the eye to the lightweight cast aluminium wheel rims, thereby continuing the purist aesthetic and the M colour scheme right down to the wheels. In conjunction with the Snaefell white/M Motorsport paintwork and the white frame, this creates a presence that is clearly geared towards dynamics, right down to the last detail.

Seamless gear changes: the shift assistant Pro enables the rider to quickly upshift and downshift in almost all load and rotational speed ranges without operating the clutch. This makes the gear changes shorter, allowing you to focus on the road and your lines. Included as standard with the Exclusive and M Sport variants.

The 43-mm upside-down fork from Kayaba with gold-coloured fixed fork tubes combines the Naked Bike look with a spring travel of 140 mm. With the Exclusive and M Sport variants, you also get a special sport suspension that allows you to adjust the rebound and compression stages of the fork to suit your preferences.

A smaller handle, a tangible difference: while you can adapt the hand lever to suit your grip width, the standard heated grips can also be controlled conveniently via the multicontroller. Three levels of heating will keep your hands warm even in colder conditions, thereby ensuring a relaxed grip on the 76-cm-wide aluminium handlebars.

Character in every rev: the newly developed 420-cm³ two-cylinder in-line engine offers 48 hp. Its 135° crankpin offset reduces unwanted vibrations and shapes the independent character of the engine. As such, the BMW F 450 R combines a smooth ride with the dynamics and directness of an authentic Naked Bike.

Around 2 kg lighter, with a clearer design: the compact underbelly muffler sits below the engine, instead of on the side at the rear. This allows for a clean silhouette on the dynamic Naked Bike, while the two-cylinder engine develops its unique sound. More lightweight, more focus on what makes the BMW F 450 R so special.

[Performance]

What makes the F 450 R so dynamic? Direct acceleration, agile handling, precise control – right down to the last detail.

Dynamics for every ride

More flexibility for your everyday life: With the M Sport version, the riding modes Pro are expanded to include a Dynamic Pro mode in addition to the three standard riding modes, Rain, Road and Dynamic. You have the option to customise the throttle response, Anti block system and Dynamic Traction Control characteristics. The sport suspension with adjustable rebound and compression stages further refines the setup. This means you can stay in control in any situation.

Perfect performance weight

48 hp meets a kerb weight of only 175 kg, making full use of the permissible performance weight of the A2 class. This is what makes the F 450 R so agile and direct. Even at 3,000 rpm, 80 % of the maximum torque of 43 Nm is available. This means you can accelerate out of bends with confidence, activate overrun mode early and ride off with ease and dynamism.

Grip and control

The Eurogrip Protorq Extreme tyres, which are included as standard, combine grip, rapid heating and durability, even in rainy conditions. At the front, a 310-mm single disc with a radial Brembo four-piston fixed caliper allows for powerful deceleration. ABS Pro Dynamic Traction Control, Dynamic Brake Control and engine drag torque control are all included as standard, and offer support when braking or accelerating, and in overrun mode.

420 ccm, 48 hp and powerful overrun, even at low rotational speeds: the two-cylinder in-line engine can achieve a maximum of 43 Nm at 6,750 rpm. 80 % of that is available at only 3,000 rpm. As such, the F 450 R responds spontaneously to your throttle commands and offers powerful acceleration. The crankpin offset of 135 degrees mitigates unwanted vibrations and gives the engine its emotive character.

[Design]

Naked Bike DNA at the first glance: a pared-down body, a clear frontal orientation and striking details.

Puristic Naked Bike flyline

The minimalist and pared-down look means that your BMW F 450 R gives off an air of dynamism, even when at a standstill. The reduced number of body parts means you have a clear view of the engine and the tidy technology. The brawny steel tank with pulled-down radiator cowls and the sleek, elevated rear form the front-wheel-oriented geometry of the Naked Bike.

The reinterpretation of the “tail up, nose down” principle of the BMW S 1000 R gives the BMW F 450 R a tried-and-tested Naked Bike aesthetic, while also ensuring a unique presence. The line that descends from the back to the front draws your eye to the pared-down front. There, the J-shaped daytime riding lights create a clearly recognisable look.

Tail up. Nose down. Standing still looks different.

Premium features, down to the last detail

The gold-coloured 43-mm upside-down fork clearly demonstrates the bike’s premium character based on the front alone. With the Exclusive and M Sport variants, the rebound and compression stages can be adjusted, combining the design highlight with an individually tuned setup.

The M Sport variant has tapes that draw the eye to the wheels in a targeted way. They use the M colours and carry the dynamic aesthetic forward – for a look that is clearly identifiable as M Sport, even in motion.

The premium character is also reflected in the components: the forged gearshift and footbrake levers and side stand, the aluminium handlebars and bolted rear footrest peg ensure a high-quality, constructive and tidy aesthetic.

Choose the fully fledged Naked Bike for you

Cosmic black

A puristic look, comprehensive equipment: The Cosmic black variant offers all the essentials for your ride. Three riding modes (Rain, Road and Dynamic) let you adapt the F 450 R to a wide range of driving situations. ABS Pro with Dynamic Traction Control, Dynamic Brake Control and engine drag torque control all offer support in reaching your destination, while the standard heated grips provide comfort. On top of that, there is a 6.5-inch TFT display with connectivity, navigation using arrows, as well as information on the vehicle status and statistics, an LED headlight, a USB-C charging socket and an adjustable hand lever.

Exclusive

Still in Cosmic black, but more dynamic. The Exclusive variant builds on the comprehensive range of standard equipment to include three riding modes, ABS Pro, a 6.5-inch TFT, connectivity, and three levels of grip heating. The new additions include shift assistant Pro, which helps you make rapid gear changes without the need to operate the clutch, as well as sport suspension with a fork that can be adjusted in terms of the rebound and compression stages. This means you can tune your bike to match your driving style more precisely. For all those who don’t want to merely set off, but want to get the most out of every bend.

M Sport

More M. More performance. More possibilities. The M Sport variant in Snaefell white with an M Motorsport colour scheme, rim tapes and a white frame makes a clear statement. Moreover, this variant offers shift assistant Pro and the sport suspension with adjustable rebound and compression stages, in order to further refine the bike’s dynamic character. The riding modes Pro supplement the Rain, Road and Dynamic modes with the Dynamic Pro mode, offering personalised settings and three additional sport screens on the TFT. The standard equipment features, including ABS Pro, connectivity and three levels of grip heating, are also on board. The optional Easy Ride Clutch (ERC) in the innovation package can enhance your setup with the option to drive off and stop without the need to operate the clutch. That’s the real M Sport.

[Comfort & Safety]

What helps you with accessibility? Accessible ergonomics, light handling and intuitive controls.

Feels right from the very first ride

Trusted from the first metre: a seat height of 790 mm, a slim waistline and an inner leg curve of 1,770 mm all make it easier to reach the ground. A kerb weight of 175 kg and the large steering stop make low-speed riding and manoeuvring even easier. The shift assistant Pro, which is installed in the Exclusive and M Sport variants, allows for effortless gear changes, offering relief in dense urban traffic. The first time, and every time.

Ready for your daily routine

The three levels of grip heating included keep your hands nice and warm. This means you can operate the throttle, clutch and brake in comfort, even in colder conditions.

The brake and clutch levers can be adapted to suit your grip width as standard. This makes them easier to operate, even for those with smaller hands.

You can keep an eye on the connectivity features and journey information on the conveniently positioned 6.5-inch TFT display. Link your smartphone up for telephony, music and, depending on the market, navigation using arrows. The USB-C socket provides power on the go.

Support when it really matters

Extra control when it really matters: ABS Pro offers support when braking, even when in a lean angle, and the Dynamic Traction Control (DTC) counteracts traction loss when accelerating. Dynamic Brake Control (DBC) helps with severe braking manoeuvres, and the engine drag torque control (MSR) offers support when the engine drag torque is high. All included as standard.

[Accessories]

As individual as your next route: the available accessories give you the freedom to get creative with your Naked Bike.

Big City Styler

A presence that keeps on giving, even when parked. Black handlebar end mirrors and the gold aluminium handlebars enhance the aesthetic in Snaefell white/M Motorsport. The sport seat, which is 20 mm higher, offers enhanced ergonomics for larger riders. The engine and axle protectors offer additional protection for exposed components.

Handlebar end mirrors, black

A sporty look, right down to the handlebar ends: the black handlebar end mirrors give the F 450 R a more refined presence. With a weight of 300 g each, they are custom-made for the motorcycle and mitigate vibrations that can obstruct your view in the mirror.

Gold aluminium handlebars

An accent in gold: the aluminium handlebars create a striking accent at the vehicle cockpit and visibly enhance the aesthetic of the F 450 R. The dimensions match those of the standard handlebars exactly. This means you can enjoy the feel, ergonomics and handling that you’re accustomed to. The exclusive BMW Motorrad inscription rounds out the elegant appearance.

Single seat bench, Sport, black, high

20 mm of added height for a more relaxed posture: the ergonomics of the black Sport single seat bench were designed with larger riders in mind. The extra seat foam offers enhanced driving comfort, while the seat height is elevated to 810 mm and the inner leg curve is increased by 30 mm to a total of 1,800 mm. This means you can enjoy longer rides in comfort and with confidence.

Engine protector

Ready for action when it comes to protection: the engine protector made of high-quality aluminium protects the left side of the engine against scrapes in the event of direct contact with the tarmac. Its robust plastic pad protects key components against wear and is easy to replace if it becomes damaged. At the same time, the black protector blends seamlessly into the dynamic look of the F 450 R.

Axle protectors

Protection where you need it: the axle protectors for the front and rear axles protect the fork, rear swinging arm, brake disc and brake caliper against major damage in the event of an impact or a fall. Their robust pads made of highly abrasion-resistant polyamide offer elasticity, thereby mitigating the impact energy. These bespoke components offer a perfect fit and are easy to install.

Best Buddy

More possibilities for your everyday life and day tours: The tank bag offers 5 to 8 litres of storage space, and the black soft cases each offer 16.5 litres. They can be attached to the black case holder easily and securely. The low single seat bench makes it easier to reach the ground and to manoeuvre, while the M hand lever guards protect the brake and clutch levers.

The guide rail allows you to adapt it to the tank shape and your ergonomic preferences. The rain cover included protects your luggage in unpredictable weather conditions.

Soft cases, black, each 16.5 l

Single seat bench, black, low

15 mm lower. Noticeably easier handling. The low, black, single seat bench lowers the seat height to 775 mm and the reduces the inner leg curve by 30 mm to 1,740 mm.

M hand lever protector

Characteristically M, right down to the last detail: With their dynamic look, the hand lever protectors make a clear statement at the handlebars.
