BMW Motorrad has teased a new naked streetfighter built on its 450 platform, confirming a full reveal on October 1 — the second motorcycle to emerge from the same architecture as the F 450 GS. For anyone shopping the sub-Rs 5-lakh performance-naked segment, this matters because BMW is now entering a space currently dominated by the KTM 390 Duke R and Aprilia Tuono 457 to give buyers a third premium option built on genuinely new engineering rather than a rebadge. The bike, likely called the F 450 R, is expected to slot in below the GS in BMW’s India lineup.
