Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW F 900 R 2025

The BMW F 900 R remains a prime example of common sense on two wheels in 2025. It does not impress with radical looks or a brute engine - but that is precisely its strength. If you are looking for a reliable, versatile naked bike suitable for everyday use that offers solid technology, modern safety features and a fair price-performance ratio, this is the bike for you. The model upgrade brings sensible improvements to details without overloading the tried and tested concept.

Price-performance ratio

Riding modes incl. Dynamic mode as standard

New, adjustable fork

ABS Pro and DTC as standard

Revised ergonomics: sporty but comfortable

Pleasant handling, accessible riding dynamics

Good workmanship, solid technology

Design still rather restrained, not very emotional

Quickshifter is stiff at low revs

Suspension set-up at the rear more geared towards comfort than sport

Triumph Trident 800 2026

The Triumph Trident 800 remains true to the Trident idea: accessible, uncomplicated, fun to ride - just noticeably more grown-up. The new 798cc triple delivers elasticity, the standard quickshifter works first-class, and the overall package of suspension, tyres, electronics and ergonomics makes the Trident 800 a bike that is light-footed in the city and smooth on the country road. In addition, there is a very good finish and a design that is clearly recognisable as a Trident - with a little more bullishness and a licence plate holder that is a topic for discussion.

Resilient, powerful three-cylinder engine

Quickshifter as standard and excellently setup

Successful ergonomics for many body sizes

Balanced suspension with a good everyday/sport compromise

Good tyres ex works (Michelin Road 6)

Brakes with good modulation

Extensive standard equipment

Stable even at motorway speeds

High-quality workmanship and successful Trident design

Display visually not quite premium

Tank fairing prone to scratches (tank pad recommended)

Clutch lever not adjustable
