2027 BMW F 450 RR First Look and Specs

BMW Motorrad is making good on its promise to enter the entry-level sportbike class for 2027 with the addition of the F 450 RR to its line-up. It will be available in two variants in Europe, but us in America will only get M-Sport variant

Developed by Indian partners TVR, the F 450 RR is powered by the same basic 420cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin introduced in the F 450 GS, producing a claimed 48 horsepower at 8750 rpm and 31.7 lb-ft of torque at 6750 rpm.

A 135-degree crankshaft layout gives the engine an uneven firing order intended to provide a characterful exhaust note, while a balance shaft helps control vibration.

The six-speed transmission can be equipped with BMW’s optional Easy Ride Clutch, a centrifugal system that allows the motorcycle to pull away without the rider operating the clutch lever—a first for the category. A quickshifter is also available, while the RR’s shift pattern can be reversed for track use.

Styling takes obvious inspiration from BMW’s S 1000 RR, with a full fairing, compact proportions and clip-on handlebars giving the F 450 RR a distinctly sporting stance.

The chassis uses a steel frame, KYB upside-down fork, aluminum swingarm and rear shock. Seventeen-inch wheels carry 110/70 front and 150/60 rear tires, while braking is handled by a 310mm front disc with a single ByBre four-piston caliper.

Electronics include cornering ABS, traction control, engine-brake control and three riding modes: Rain, Road and Race, plus you can get the optional Race Pro riding mode. A 6.5-inch TFT display provides connectivity and is joined by LED lighting, standard heated grips and a USB-C outlet.

BMW lists a ready-to-ride weight of 390 pounds and a 31.1-inch seat height, giving the F 450 RR a relatively accessible physical package.

In Europe, the F 450 RR will be offered in four versions, ranging from the base model to Sport and two M Sport variants with additional performance-oriented equipment, but we will only get the M Sport version in America. U.S. pricing stands at $7815, and we will see them on dealer floors in Summer of 2027.
