Pros and Cons in comparison

Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW R 12 2025

BMW R 12 2025

The BMW R12 is more than just a stylish cruiser. It offers comfort, power and surprising agility - a bike to love for long journeys and short trips alike.

Powerful boxer engine

Lots of charisma but still smooth throttle response

Comfortable but low seating position

Agile handling despite cruiser design

Excellent brakes

Good lean angle-dependent traction control

High-quality cornering ABS

Comfortable riding on long lengths

Great features available

Classic design with a modern touch

Stable road holding

Good feedback even on slippery surfaces

Uncomfortable suspension on poor roads

Footrests quickly touch the ground when riding sporty

Relatively high clutch effort

Little travel limits universal character somewhat

BMW F 900 R 2022

BMW F 900 R 2022

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
