BMW F 900 R 2024

BMW F 900 R 2024

The BMW F 900 R is a full-grown motorbike. 895 cc, 105 hp and 92 Nm smell of versatility. The F 900 R fulfils this promise completely. The motorbike, including electronics and components, does a great job in every situation. But of all things, the heart of the bike, the engine and transmission unit, does not shine in premium gloss.

Great cockpit and functional connectivity

Extensive electronics can be operated logically

Very accessible but still very casual handling

Motorcycle rides bland and reserved but also wild and sporty when needed

Pleasant seating position

Wide choice of equipment and configuration options

Low and high seat options available

Suspension allows wide range of use - comfortable but also direct and precise.

Gearstick a little stiff - with and without quickshifter

Engine runs a little rough and exudes little elegance at the top

Poor splash guard at the rear
