BMW F 900 XR 2022

BMW F 900 XR 2022

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.

If you're a bit indecisive when buying a motorbike, and would prefer to have an egg-laying pillow, the 1200 is the best choice. In addition, the 1200 is the only true GS, namely the GS with a boxer engine and cardan drive.
