BMW F 450 GS Trophy Edition (2026)

Coming Soon!

The "Cretan Mountain Goat"

The BMW F 450 GS is the newest member of the GS family and arguably the most practical choice for a motorcycle holiday in Crete. Whether you’re filtering through the busy streets of Heraklion or chasing sunsets in the mountains above Elafonisi, this bike feels like it was built specifically for Cretan terrain.

Why It’s the Perfect Companion for Crete

• The King of Hairpins: Crete is famous for its tight mountain switchbacks. With a curb weight of just 178 kg, this machine is incredibly agile. Thanks to its tight turning circle, U-turns on narrow coastal roads or maneuvering through tucked-away mountain villages are absolute child's play.

• The "Goldilocks" Wheel Setup: BMW opted for a 19-inch front wheel (just like its big brother, the 1300 GS). The result is a perfect balance: rock-solid stability on the National Road, yet precise and nimble when carving through the curves of the White Mountains.

• Low-End Grunt: The new 420cc twin-cylinder engine is tuned entirely for torque. This means you have plenty of pulling power for steep climbs—even with a passenger or luggage—without having to constantly dance on the gear shifter.

Stress-Free Riding

• The "Easy Ride" Clutch (Optional on Trophy models): Some rental units feature the new ERC system. This essentially turns the bike into a "twist-and-go" scooter at low speeds: you can pull away and come to a stop without ever touching the clutch lever. It’s a total game-changer for steep hill starts or stop-and-go city traffic.

• A Confident Stance: With a standard seat height of 845 mm (and a lower option at 830 mm), it’s easy to get your feet firmly on the ground. This provides peace of mind when you find yourself parking on uneven gravel or loose dirt.

• Intuitive Tech: The razor-sharp 6.5-inch TFT display remains perfectly readable even under the blazing Cretan sun. With integrated navigation, you can keep your eyes on the route and your mind on the stunning scenery.

Who is the F 450 GS Ideal For?

• Solo Explorers & Couples: Perfect for those who want the prestige and "go-anywhere" capability of a BMW GS, but don’t want the sheer bulk and weight of a 1300cc beast.

• A2 License Holders: The bike is fully A2-legal (48 hp) and is currently likely the highest-quality machine available to rent in this license class.

• Off-the-Beaten-Path Adventurers: Ideal for those looking to explore beyond the tarmac, like the tracks to Balos or the Lasithi Plateau. The GS inspires massive confidence on gravel roads and won't leave you exhausted after a long day in the saddle.
