BMW Unveils 2027 F 450 RR Supersport Motorcycle
BMW Motorrad has announced the 2027 F 450 RR, a new entry-level supersport model. It uses a 420cc parallel-twin engine producing 48 horsepower and 32 lb-ft of torque. The M Sport version is expected in the U.S. in summer 2027 with a starting price of $7,815.
BMW Motorrad's 2027 F 450 RR is positioned as the gateway to its supersport range. Its 420cc parallel-twin, with balance shaft and 135-degree crankpin offset, makes 48 hp at 8,750 rpm and 32 lb-ft at 6,750 rpm. The U.S. M Sport version arrives summer 2027 at $7,815 before destination fees.
The bike includes a six-speed gearbox with Shift Assistant Pro, an available Easy Ride Clutch, and a reversible shift pattern. It also gets Rain, Road, and Race modes, ABS Pro, DBC, DTC, MSR, a 6.5-inch TFT, LED lighting, heated grips, and USB-C charging.
This model could broaden access to supersport riding by lowering the price and displacement barrier, potentially appealing to newer riders and track-day newcomers. Dealers and riding schools may see interest, while insurers and safety advocates might watch how such accessible performance affects rider training and crash risk. Its advanced rider aids may help some riders build confidence, though they cannot replace skill.
