BMW's F 450 RR Reaches America as a $7,815 M Sport Only

BMW Motorrad USA has confirmed that the F 450 RR is headed to American showrooms in summer 2027, but American buyers will only get it in M Sport trim. The price is $7,815, and the bike is the sportiest version of BMW's entry-level single-cylinder lineup.

On paper, the numbers are modest but lively. The company rates the bike at 48 horsepower and says it weighs 392 pounds ready to ride. That combination gives it a 0-62 mph time of 5.6 seconds, a figure that suggests a light, eager machine rather than a heavy tourer dressed up in sport styling.

The RR badge is the important part of the story. At BMW, the RR designation marks the most performance-focused versions of a model, and it usually signals a bike built to be ridden hard. Bringing that badge to a bike at this price point is a clear signal that BMW wants to attract newer riders and enthusiasts looking for a sporty first bike or a second machine for weekend canyon runs.

The M Sport designation is the only configuration offered in the United States, so buyers who prefer a different spec will not have a choice here. The announcement comes with a long lead time, too. With summer 2027 still ahead, final details such as options, colors, and dealer pricing could change before the bike arrives.
