BMW have started from the ground up and brought about a new revolution. Where the YZF400 was an engine revolution that evolved from existing enduro/motocross platforms, the BMW G450X has been built to be the best machine for the job. You can see straight away that the designers of the G450X didn’t base their creation on what everyone else is doing it is based firmly on typical German practicality, innovation and effectiveness.
