BMW F 900 XR 2023

A bike in this performance class probably couldn't be more accessible. The XR waggles playfully through the bends and immediately inspires confidence in the saddle. Even lengthy touring is easy and you always get out of the saddle feeling relaxed. However, the sporty look of the BMW also awakens a desire for some thrills. However, the engine cannot quite fulfil this desire. The engine, transmission and quickshifter are a little too tame overall and could do with a little more sportiness.
