What people are saying
Was mir an der neuen BMW F 450 RR besonders gefällt: Sie ist leicht, direkt und sehr präzise zu fahren. Genau so muss für mich ein Supersportler sein. Sie macht auf der Landstraße richtig Spaß und funktioniert genauso auf der Rennstrecke. Gleichzeitig steckt ganz klar die DNA unserer RR-Modelle in ihr. Für mich ist sie damit der perfekte Einstieg in die BMW RR-Welt.
