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
BMW R 1300 GS 2025
BMW has developed the new R 1300 GS drawing on a wealth of experience and expertise, which is evident in its advanced technology and versatility. The model appeals to both experienced and new riders, offering an impressive combination of power, comfort and state-of-the-art features. It is a successful blend of compactness, power and luxury that performs equally well both off-road and on the road.
Powerful engine with very sporty responsiveness
Very stable riding performance – yet the bike remains agile and a joy to ride through bends
Hand guards provide good wind protection
With minimal features, the bike looks more compact and sportier than before
Well-integrated radar cruise control
A wide range of options for ergonomics adjustment
A superbly functioning and discreetly integrated emergency call system
Excellent balance under varying load conditions
Not every desired configuration is possible – in some cases, you have to select unnecessary extras as well
The suspension performs well – but it doesn’t offer truly flawless responsiveness, nor does it have a particularly wide range of adjustment
Front Collision Warning (FCW) triggers annoying false alarms in raw everyday conditions
For taller riders, the bike feels a little too compact for an adventure bike, particularly from the rear
The side panels are prone to scratches on rough off-road terrain and when worn with heavy-duty boots
Hand guards with integrated indicators are not suitable for off-road use
