BMW Motorrad has teased the upcoming BMW F 450 RR, a fully faired sportbike based on its 450cc platform. The BMW F 450 RR will be based on the F 450 R and get the same 420cc twin-cylinder engine. Moreover, it could become BMW’s most affordable twin-cylinder sportbike.
The BMW F 450 RR will share its engine with the F 450 R. It will use a 420cc, twin-cylinder engine that produces around 47 PS at 8,750 rpm and 43 Nm at 6,750 rpm in the naked model. The faired version could deliver similar performance.
The BMW F 450 RR will feature a full fairing at the front, while its rear design could remain similar to the F 450 R. In addition, the teaser hints at twin-pod headlights inspired by the BMW Concept RR.
The side panels also appear to feature aerodynamic winglets, giving the bike a sharper look. Furthermore, clip-on handlebars should offer a sporty riding position, while an underbelly exhaust could complete its design.
BMW could carry over several hardware parts from the F 450 R, including 17-inch wheels, adjustable suspension on selected variants, a 310mm front disc and a 240mm rear disc.
The bike could also get a seat height close to 790mm and a 14 litre fuel tank. However, its kerb weight may increase slightly over the F 450 R’s 175kg due to the added fairing.
Expected features include riding modes, cornering ABS, cornering traction control, a 6 inch TFT display and a bidirectional quickshifter. In addition, adjustable clutch and front brake levers could improve rider control. The top variant may also feature BMW’s Easy Ride Clutch.
BMW Motorrad will unveil the F 450 RR globally on October 15, 2026. The motorcycle could reach India in 2027 alongside the F 450 R.
Although BMW has not announced its Indian price, the F 450 RR could cost less than the F 450 GS, which starts at Rs. 4.95 lakh (ex showroom). Once launched, it will compete with the Aprilia RS 457 in India.
