BMW F 450 RR Unveiled: Fully-Faired Motorcycle Shares Engine With F 450 GS

BMW Motorrad has unveiled the F 450 RR supersport, completing the trio of middleweight motorcycles based on the new platform. It follows the recent unveiling of the F 450 R streetfighter that made its debut after the F 450 GS. Sharing its genes with the S 1000 RR, the motorcycle is a stepping stone for bikers who want in on the Bavarian giant's supersport family without going overboard with a litre class.

BMW F 450 RR: Styling

BMW's supersport middleweight motorcycle's appearance is inspired by the S 1000 RR. These elements can be seen in the form of the aggressive fairing with gills on either side, complemented by the presence of large wings. However, it gets a single headlamp instead of a twin-headlamp design. The gap in the difference is filled by the presence of DRLs on either side. The 14-litre tank gets a sharp design, which is in sync with the overall design language. With the handlebar, the bike is expected to be a committed riding triangle. The rear end is raised, with the lines converging to form a sharp tail section.
