Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW F 900 R 2025

The BMW F 900 R remains a prime example of common sense on two wheels in 2025. It does not impress with radical looks or a brute engine - but that is precisely its strength. If you are looking for a reliable, versatile naked bike suitable for everyday use that offers solid technology, modern safety features and a fair price-performance ratio, this is the bike for you. The model upgrade brings sensible improvements to details without overloading the tried and tested concept.
