BMW F 900 R 2026

BMW F 900 R 2026

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

Triumph Trident 800 2026

The Triumph Trident 800 remains true to the Trident concept: accessible, straightforward and fun to ride – yet noticeably more mature than its 660cc sister model. The new 798cc three cylinder engine delivers smooth power delivery, the standard quickshifter works a treat, and the overall package of suspension, tyres, electronics and ergonomics makes the Trident 800 a bike that’s nimble in town and composed on country roads. Added to this is excellent build quality and a design that’s clearly recognisable as a Trident – with a slightly more muscular look and a number plate holder that’s sure to spark debate.

Responsive, powerful three cylinder engine

Quickshifter fitted as standard and superbly set up

Well-designed ergonomics to suit a wide range of rider heights

Well-balanced suspension offering a good compromise between everyday and sport riding

Good tyres fitted as standard (Michelin Road 6)

Brakes are easy to modulate

Extensive standard equipment

Stable even at motorway speeds

High-quality build and attractive Trident design

The display doesn’t quite look premium

Fuel tank cover is prone to scratches (fuel tank pad recommended)

Clutch lever is not adjustable
