BMW F 450 GS latest spy shots reveal production-ready design: What to expect?
The BMW F 450 GS will be positioned as the company's entry-level adventure tourer in India, and the motorcycle is now nearing production. The latest spy shots from the Austria-based Motorrad Magazin offer a good look at the upcoming ADV featuring a production-ready guise that is nearly identical to the concept model previewed at EICMA 2024 in Italy and Auto Expo 2025 in India. On entering production, the F 450 GS will be made in India in collaboration with the TVS Motor Company. The F 450 GS adventure tourer has been spied testing a few times over the past year, with one heavily camouflaged test mule caught on the move in Karnataka. The latest spy shots paint a better picture of what we can expect. While the production-ready model carries a few changes over the F 450 GS Concept, it retains the overall silhouette. The quad-LED DRL setup with the GS badge has been replaced with a conventional, vertically stacked dual-LED headlamp, and there is a tall visor for added touring comfort. The aggressive tank and side panel design have been carried over from the concept model. Although the front-end has been revised, its design still echoes the influence of the flagship BMW R 1300 GS. The big change, however, is the tail section, which gets broader with a new rear subframe to accommodate a pillion seat. The exhaust features the same twin-pipe design, but the muffler has been lowered, possibly to accommodate additional equipment.

This motor can make 48 bhp and is tuned for strong low-end torque output, making it suitable for technical off-road riding as well as city and highway use. BMW Motorrad says the new engine has a unique ignition offset, which is expected to deliver a high-revving, yet tractable powerband. The upcoming tourer is underpinned by a steel bridge trellis frame and a bolt-on rear sub-frame and features an aluminium swing-arm with a central spring strut. It is equipped with upside-down front forks and a rear monoshock. The front forks will feature some degree of adjustability, but the production-ready version loses a bit of suspension travel at both ends when compared to the concept model. The F 450 GS allows for a relaxed riding posture with high-set handlebars and footpegs positioned neutrally. It rides on 19-inch front and 17-inch rear cast aluminium alloys, but BMW is expected to offer wire-spoked rims wrapped in tubeless tyres at launch. BMW F 450 GS: Expected features BMW has fitted the F 450 GS with a 6.5-inch TFT cluster that allows for smartphone connectivity via Bluetooth for media controls and navigation (Motorrad Magazin) The F 450 GS will come equipped with a 6.5-inch TFT instrument display that offers full Bluetooth connectivity. This unit enables smartphone connectivity for call and message notifications, media playback control, and turn-by-turn navigation. The adventure tourer will further feature lean-sensitive ABS, enhancing safety during cornering, along with three riding modes that can be freely configured based on the rider's terrain and performance preferences. Another expected highlight is the addition of a semi-automatic transmission system that will relieve riders of having to operate the clutch while changing gears. While not much is known about this, it is expected to be offered as an option.

In the global markets, it will fill the gap between the G 310 GS and the F 800 GS. The F 450 GS is expected to be unveiled soon, with a market launch by the end of 2025. While official pricing details are not available, the motorcycle is expected to be launched in multiple variants, offering varying levels of rider aids and accessories. The expected price for the BMW F 450 GS ranges between ₹4 lakh to ₹4.5 lakh (ex-showroom). Check out Upcoming Bikes In India. First Published Date:

Best stocks to buy today, 5 August, recommended by NeoTrader's Raja Venkatraman
The Indian stock market staged a broad-based rebound on Monday, August 4, snapping a two-day losing streak on the back of positive global cues and a softer US dollar. The Sensex climbed 419 points, or 0.52%, to close at 81,018.72, while the Nifty 50 advanced 157 points, or 0.64%, to settle at 24, market indices outperformed the benchmarks. The BSE Midcap index surged 1.11%, while the Smallcap index gained 0.76%. Here are three stocks to buy or sell as recommended by Raja Venkatraman of NeoTrader for Tuesday, 5 August: Stop loss: ₹2,840. Stock market recap | 4 August On Monday, 4 August, India's benchmark equity indices staged a strong rebound, with the Sensex climbing from its intraday low and the Nifty inching closer to the 24,700 mark. The Sensex ended 447.16 points higher at 81,047.06, while the Nifty closed at 24,726.90, up 161.55 points. The rally was driven by gains in metal and auto stocks, buoyed by positive regional cues and supportive currency dynamics. Auto stocks led the advance, with the Nifty Auto index rising 1.1% following upbeat quarterly earnings from TVS Motor Company and a 21% year-on-year jump in July dispatches for Hero MotoCorp, which gained over 2%. Metals also posted strong gains, with the Nifty Metal index up 1.6% as a weaker US dollar boosted the appeal of commodities among overseas buyers. Fourteen of the index's 15 constituents ended in the green. Sector heavyweights including Bharat Electronics, Tata Steel, Eicher Motors, and Hindalco rallied up to 4%, capping off a broad-based session that reflected resilient investor sentiment. Outlook for Trading Broader indices managed to absorb last week's profit booking, enabling a rebound. However, the recovery lacks conviction, with markets struggling to sustain upward momentum. Uncertainty around global cues—particularly the ongoing Trump tariff rhetoric—continues to inject volatility, keeping investors guessing about what's next. The rebound, partly supported by the RBI's monetary policy backdrop, helped lift sentiment temporarily, but intermittent declines have continued to test bullish resolve. Market momentum remains subdued, especially with persistent weakness in the Bank Nifty weighing on confidence. Since breaking below its trend channel, the index has faced sustained bearish pressure, suggesting further downside risk as we head into the final trading session of the week. As the Q1 earnings season gains pace, investor focus will remain on corporate results. In a market increasingly swayed by unpredictable, ad hoc triggers, volatility is likely to persist in the near term. Sentiment continues to swing, driven by a fast-changing landscape. This makes risk management more important than ever. That said, there is still visible value discovery in mid- and small-cap stocks, indicating pockets of bullishness. Meanwhile, the Trump tariff saga has kept global markets on edge. In the absence of clarity, the Nifty is likely to oscillate in a range between 24,500 and 25,000 in the coming days.
