BMW F 900 R 2026

BMW F 900 R 2026

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
