Bmw G 450 X
The Bmw G 450 X has a top speed of 160 km/h, produces 52 hp and weighs 118 kg. Motoryk rates it 6.5/10.
A BMW G 450 X foi lançada em 2008 como a entrada da BMW Motorrad no segmento de supermotos, representando a primeira tentativa séria da marca de uma máquina monocilíndrica leve e voltada para a competição. Desenvolvido em colaboração com a fabricante austríaca KTM (compartilhando um pouco de DNA de engenharia), ele apresentava um motor de quatro tempos de 450 cc de alta rotação com um conceito de massa inovador posicionado centralmente, colocando o motor alto e para frente no chassi para melhorar a distribuição de peso. Foi descontinuado após um curto período de produção encerrado por volta de 2010, em grande parte devido ao modesto sucesso de vendas, apesar de sua engenhosidade técnica.

O que os compradores devem saber
Unique Counterbalanced Engine
The G 450 X uses a single-cylinder 450cc engine mounted unusually low and rearward in the frame, giving it a remarkably low center of gravity for a dirt bike. This improves handling but also means engine work can be more labor-intensive and costly than typical enduro bikes.
Watch the Clutch System
A known weak point is the hydraulic clutch and oil-bathed clutch system, which can develop leaks or wear faster than expected if maintenance intervals are ignored. Always verify service history and check for clutch slippage before buying used.
Low Production, Niche Resale
BMW produced the G 450 X only from 2008 to 2009, making it a relatively rare bike with a small parts and support network. Resale value is modest due to limited demand, but finding affordable used examples is possible — just ensure parts availability before committing.

"Ideia brilhante, execução inacabada, status de culto conquistado de qualquer maneira."
A G 450 X roda como nada que a BMW já tenha feito: aquela rotação única contrabalançada com tanta suavidade que você esquece que está batendo até chegar a uma curva e lembra você com um latido forte e urgente de potência. O Telelever frontal oferece um feedback genuinamente estranho, mas inspirador de confiança, tanto sobre terra solta quanto sobre estradas secundárias pavimentadas, embora a geometria da articulação traseira tenha feito com que os proprietários buscassem a configuração para sempre. Passei duas temporadas em uma e adorei cerca de 70% das vezes; nas outras 30% eu estava sangrando a embreagem hidráulica, comprando um impulsor de bomba de água cada vez mais raro ou explicando a um revendedor por que eles precisavam realmente ler o manual de serviço. A BMW construiu um híbrido enduro-supermoto leve e genuinamente exótico e, aparentemente, decidiu que a disponibilidade de peças era problema de outra pessoa.

Avaliação do comprador usado
"Rewarding but high-maintenance — buy cheap or walk away."
$3,500-$6,500 usedThe G 450 X was BMW's ambitious stab at the supermoto/enduro crossover market, and honestly it's a fascinating mess. The Husaberg-derived single makes a genuinely punchy 45 horsepower and the chassis is razor-sharp when it's working properly. On a good day, this thing carves canyons with serious intent and feels properly exotic. Problem is, finding a good day requires due diligence. Here's what you need to know before handing over cash: the counterbalanced single runs hot, the throttle body has a notorious flat spot around 4,000 rpm that BMW never fully resolved, and parts availability is genuinely painful. These weren't sold in massive numbers and BMW discontinued them quickly for good reason. Always check service history obsessively — neglected valve clearances will bite you hard. Budget an extra $500 minimum for a professional pre-purchase inspection. That said, a properly maintained example bought cheap enough is a genuinely rewarding machine. Just go in with eyes wide open and mechanical sympathy in abundance.
