The upcoming BMW F 450 GS recently made its global debut at EICMA 2025 earlier this month.
TVS and BMW Motorrad have marked a major milestone. The strategic partnership between these two bike majors, which came into existence in 2013, has now produced 2 lakh motorcycles. To commemorate this feat, TVS has announced that production of the BMW F 450 GS will begin at its Hosur-based manufacturing plant.
Speaking on this occasion, Markus Flasch, CEO, BMW Motorrad, said, "This 200,000 unit milestone is a demonstration of the success and strength of our collaboration with TVS Motor Company. What began just over a decade ago as a bold alliance has flourished into an extraordinary success story, with our sub-500cc models setting new standards and delighting riders across the globe.”
This alliance came into existence with the foundation of the 310 cc common platform which continues to underpin models such as the BMW G 310 R, G 310 GS, and G 310 RR, along with the TVS Apache RTR 310 and RR 310. These products are dispatched to over 100 markets globally. The new 450 cc platform is the second architecture to be developed under this partnership.
