BMW Motorrad has teased an upcoming F 450-based sports bike, anticipated to be named the BMW F 450 RR, with its official unveiling scheduled for October 15, 2026. This new model will be the third iteration built upon the 450 platform, hinting at an aggressive styling that draws inspiration from the S1000 RR, including distinctive winglets and wheel-mounted brake discs.
Expected to share components with the F 450 R, the new sports bike will likely feature 17-inch alloy wheels, a 6.5-inch TFT console, and a suite of electronic aids. Power is anticipated to come from the same 420cc parallel-twin engine, which currently produces 48bhp and 43Nm of torque, though it might be retuned for enhanced road performance.
In the Indian market, the BMW F 450 RR is set to compete with rivals such as the Aprilia Tuono 457 and the Kawasaki Ninja 500. While premium pricing is expected, aligning with the F 450 GS, this new sports bike aims to offer a compelling option for enthusiasts seeking performance and advanced features in the middleweight segment.
