Your Everyday GS: BMW's All-New F 450 GS, with Ernest Javier, Nico Ylanan & Patrick Orbe
The GS nameplate is legendary — and now it has a new, more accessible member. This episode, we're joined by Ernest Javier, Nico Ylanan, and Patrick Orbe from BMW Motorrad Philippines to talk through the all-new BMW F 450 GS, launched to the local market this week.
We cover the completely redesigned 420cc two-cylinder engine and its unusual 135° crankpin offset, the new tubular steel chassis built for both pavement and trail, the tech stack (ABS Pro, Dynamic Brake Control, Shift Assistant Pro, riding modes), and how BMW is positioning this bike against the growing field of mid-displacement adventure motorcycles in the Philippines.
We also get into pricing and variants — Exclusive in Cosmic Black at ₱498,000 and Sport in Racing Red at ₱548,000 — and what riders can expect from BMW's 3-year/100,000km warranty coverage.
Whether you're a longtime GS rider or eyeing your first adventure bike, this conversation covers what you need to know.
