BMW F 900 XR 2020

BMW F 900 XR 2020

The new BMW F 900 XR proves that it now needs no more than the middle class. With 105 hp, you are never underpowered in any situation and the two-cylinder offers enough elasticity to be both relaxed and very sporty on the road. Its solid quality and proven high-volume technology of the F 850 series make it a perfect companion if you want to be sporty on the road with a high level of comfort. As a basis, the equipment is sufficient, but the BMW accessories programme gives enough options to put together your dream motorbike (recommendation: Gearshift Assistant Pro!).
