BMW F 900 R 2025

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.

Price-performance ratio

Riding modes incl. Dynamic mode as standard

New, adjustable fork

ABS Pro and DTC as standard

Revised ergonomics: sporty but comfortable

Pleasant handling, accessible riding dynamics

Good workmanship, solid technology

Design still rather restrained, not very emotional

Quickshifter is stiff at low revs

Suspension set-up at the rear more geared towards comfort than sport

BMW S 1000 R 2015

BMW S 1000 R 2015

With the BMW S 1000 R, you notice both the close relationship to the S 1000 RR superbike and the endeavour to equip the machine with a high degree of comfort for country roads and everyday use. Accordingly, the 1000cc four-cylinder power unit is brute and yet easily controllable, and the seating position is correspondingly sporty and comfortable. The fact that the S 1000 R is one of the most affordable power naked bikes is surprising and very pleasing, although one must not get hold of the list of optional extras - because thanks to the many irresistible features, it will certainly be more expensive.

Powerful and well controllable engine

powerful braking system

comparatively comfortable seating position.

irresistible but expensive optional extras
