@magdump lmao looks like we have both been doing the same research on this thing. Any luck on your end? I keep hearing repeats about the Chinese engine but tbh that doesn’t really deter me
Yes, it is made in China but engineered and overseen by BMW. I wish it were not made there. That said, it has decent sound, good power, and has been very reliable for me. I do not get passed in the twisted, and with a touring screen, 85 mph on the highway is very bearable.
I spent ages test riding all kinds of nakeds before settling on one these (In blue!) and it's by far and away the best all rounder. It's basically a better engineered Ducati Monster. As for the snatchy throttle, just leave it in road mode. It's so much friendlier around town that way. Dynamic is way too rowdy for traffic. Update: Coming up to a year's ownership and I completely retract the comment about it being too rowdy in Dynamic. It now just permanently lives in Dynamic Pro mode, even in the rain. The bike in the whole has actually made me a much better rider in my opinion. One thing reviews don't get accross is how good BMW aftersales is. Servicing is cheap and they role out the red carpet for you at ever dealer visit. Good way of retaining owners.
1MrBryn I also did a testride, didn’t give me a ‘wow’ feeling. Electronic suspension is very good, but the engine is so lame. It’s like the bike is singing a lullaby AND she is missing a lot of power! Bought me a Street Triple RS instead of this or a Z900 (kawa garbage imo), the Triumph does it all the best for me. Have fun with your beemer 👍
@rolandfullthrottle8316 as a Z lover, this hurt me. I love the street tripples weight, design, and character, but I'm not sold on its reliability... what's your experience with that? Im looking between it and a Z900 specifically. As for the Z900 my father owns one and though it's not as refined it rides well and the engine is great. Honestly is there anything on the Z900 that you don't like? Just asking as I'm in the market between these two.
I have the F800r, which is the previous generation of this. And mine is the mk1 with the asymmetrical headlights. I think they looked way better before, with the new headlights it looks too generic. Plus the rear seat was bigger before
I tested it and I agree, a lot of a bike for this money. However, same as you I couldn't afford two bikes hence I eventually got the ST RS. By the way, I really like these duo shots, I'm following both of you and really appreciate your work. Ride safe!
I just ride both the f900r and r nine t this weekend. Both bikes are excellent, the f900r is the better value with all it's tech while the nine t is a pure no gimmick riding style. I would buy the f900r over the nine t only because I have a sportster to fill my retro needs
This IS "the best" naked bike on the market. Here in Southern California, we need to ride freeways to go anywhere... sometimes for an hour at a time if you want your bike to be considered somewhat practical. Cruise control is a must and all the other stuff is nice too. BMW bikes seem to hold their value very well on the re-sale too.
I bought the F900XR and love it. I always thought the 2016 Africa Twin that I owned was a great engine in too tall a bike for everyday riding. The XR is the answer for me, the engine has a similar feel and sound with the techy stuff a (expensive) bonus.
@@drewmorg. Ride them both, you won’t believe how different they feel. I’m 5’10” and I loved the R’s urgency but the pegs feel higher and your pushed more over the front end which for me at 69 was just a tad too much for longer journeys.
@@joshnnik I'm 5'10 and 35 years old. I used to have an R6 so I know that pushed over feeling well, and when I was 21 and riding it I still hated the position! About the only thing it was good for is twisties and doing 80+ on the highway. Fun runs to the beach or errands were terrible. I want a bike that can do both! Lately I've been riding the street legal dirtbikes and they are GREAT with their upright position but virtually no highway capabilities. That's where I learned torque is really the way to go for the street and what attracts me to the Twin motor setups. 2021 MT-09 is a very attractive offering too. The BMW's still got my attention though because of the cruise control and another electronic features. We simply need cruise control on our bikes and cars here in California. You're riding 20 minutes or more on the highway any time you want to go anywhere! Boring!
@@MrKdr500 The 900XR wasn’t around in 2016! I enjoyed the AT for the time I owned it but variety is the spice of life and I like owning and riding different types of bike hence why I give my opinion for what its worth.
I have just had one of these as a loan bike while my r9t was being serviced. It's a really competent bike, very comfortable with (As the guys say) loads of tec. The problem for me was that it's totally vanilla! Absolutely no character at all. I suppose comparing it to my r9t this is to be expected. Sorry but, I won't be tempted to do a traid.
Hi Gusy! I'm trying to find an owner for cross-checking my brand new F900R's assisted clutch which after repeated downshifting becomes really loose :( Is there anyone who can confirm his experience on the clutch of this bike? Would really appreciate your feedback, thanks!!
I was convinced I was going to wait for the new Tuono 660, but a dealer near me has one of these with the S package and other options for 9.9k US, I'm pretty close to just getting this and not waiting any longer to upgrade from my z400
Coming from a KTM 790 Duke which was too rough and wild (especially in the city) for me, I am attending a new F900R full options. But nevertheless I like the nice looking R9T with the bulleproof boxer engine, "naked" without all these technical gedgets on the F 900 R. I could get a young R9T instead of the F900R - what is your meaning? I am 52 years old and not so tall (1,70m).
I loved this bike. I ended up getting the 2020 Africa twin adventure sports in the end as I preferred the engine and the dual clutch transmission really works for the miles I like to do. Gives me my left hand to use sat nav and CarPlay etc. I ended up paying a lot more money mind you.

Yeah I think the street triple offers a little more drama. This is more of a practical choice for all the goodies. I’d pick this for commuting, Striple for the weekend, assuming I could afford them both... which I can’t...
Yeah just up the M11 - take the road from Chipping Ongar through Fyfield and keep following it. It’s only a few miles and ends at a t-junction but it’s good fun. I’m sure there are more like it around there but I haven’t had chance to explore properly
They can’t make one that sounds like the race version because of noise regs. But you can for around £600 or so. Apart from the pipe, suspension, sealed ECU and a bit of bodywork and track safety mods the race bikes are the same as the road ones.
Recently bought the almost Fully Loaded F900R only thing I don't have in the bike is keyless. But loving every bit of the bike more I am riding more I am enjoying this bike. It has a grunt and power and road presence. It looks really bulky in person surely a head-turner, especially in Blue color. The only issue is most of the dealers here don't have the base version without the extra bits for that you have to order and it will take few months to come. So it gets a little pricy with the extras but I still, feel it is worth the price with all the extra. Hello from Vancouver Canada
@@sameerahammed Copied from my insta page. Long Term Review of the Bike: BMW F900R is an 895cc Parallel twin engine which produces 105bhp and 92nm of torque. Pros: 1. Well Balanced and Nimble 2. High Quality Build. 3. Torque Engine 4. Smooth Highway Ride 5. Powerful Breaks 6. Class Leading TFT screen, 7. Smooth Quick shifter 8. Head Turner Looks 9. High tech like cruise control, heated grips, turn by turn navigation, adjustable rear suspensions, adaptive head light, lean sensitive abs and more. 10. BMW Motorrad Connected App. With Winding Road map option 11. Different Hight options for different riders 12. Good fuel efficiency. Cons 1. It is on the heavier side. 2. Seats are a little hard which can get a little uncomfortable after a couple of hours of riding. 3. Hard to get after market mods for the bike especially in Canada. 4. It is very hard to buy the base version of the bike most of the dealers will have available with added packages which push the price of the bike a little bit. 5. The 15.4 liter gas tank is quite small for the bike. 6. Non-adjustable front suspension. Factory setup of the front suspension is wonderful but missing the option to adjust the suspension. Misconceptions 1. Underpowered: comes alive in dynamic or dynamic pro mode. More than enough power for road and highway rides 2. Chinese Engine: Yes, engine built in China but it is built under the BMW standards. BMW name known for their Standards and Quality. It will reduce the labor cost not the quality of the engine. Overall: I am very happy with the bike and if you are looking into the Z900, MT09 then I think you should also give BMW the chance to get a test ride to decide if this bike is for you or not. Plus, it will come with BMW brand value.
@@puneetsehgal8200thank you so much for the review. If I only convince my wife I will buy it , 1.5years old with all extras. Only what worries me is electronic suspension. How reliable it’s going to be.
I test drove one and eventually bought one with the 'higher seat'. They actually sell like 4 different seats. I got the highest one, i'm 190cm and 90kg and with that seat i can only just hit the ground with my feet at standstill.. Incredible bike as well!
Get 835 mm high seat and 10 mm lower footpags I did it on f800r, but just lower footpages for 20 mm Buy the way I tried F900r with standard seat 815 mm and it's more roomy and larger bike than f800r
In my opinion, this bike is awesome and I want to say something, I love strong engine and I tried the s1000xr which is fine, fast, easy to ride... etc but after that I tried the r1250rs and that was crème de la crème, BMW makes all verity of bikes and each one of them has its own taste, I enjoyed abusing, commuting, the sweetness and everything about r1250rs way more than S1000xr. So I think this bike nice and I want to buy that boxer engine that I tried.
@@AMVHunte probably not to be honest. It's not exactly a lightweight and it has a very strong bottom end and mid-range which isn't exactly beginner friendly. Having said that, I know in Europe you can get a restricted power version that would help, but that doesn't help the weight situation when you're learning to ride. A Z400 or Duke 390 are much better beginner options simply due to their much more manageable weights.
@@gooodvibez not one. It still kicks arse. If I had any minor quibbles is that I'd like a slightly bigger tank capacity and cruise control on mine, but otherwise it's been a dream to own.
Once you add all those tech things it is more expensive than 9780£ With all those accessories you mention the F900R will cost you about 12353£ The bike with almost no tech cost 9,780£ It must be false info to claim you get all those things with the bike for 9,780£ You almost get nothing from all the things you mention that is on the bike for £9,780 :/ You can go to bmw homepage and add all the packages they sell for the bike and watch yourself.
Front forks are terribile, a shame for such a new expensive bike. They fall down in a while if you brake strong, wich is very easy with this not exactly progressive brakes Inside there is not an actual complete suspension. Changed the inside with an Andreani kit. Abother world another music. But you have to pay...
In my point of view, riding should be pure and simple so I'd tather have the R9T over this F900R. I ride a 2019 Benelli Leoncino 500 by the way. And I love it.
😂I bet you never drove one, if you have a Leoncino 500 you would be blown away with this bike, a totally diferent beast, yes the 9t its a complete diferent bike, not better! Not prettier! Not faster! Much diferent, and more expensive 😉✌️
This cheapo bike is fine as long as you don't mind the fact that BMW dealers try to conceal the Chinese origins of the engine. No wonder its a rattily piece of crap compared to precession engineered and refined Japanese motorcycles
You present this as though excessive tech is attractive. It puts me off a bike. More to go wrong, and keep it long enough, it will. I like the actual bike, though; good-looking. and the fact the engine is made in China doesn't bother me. I don't want a keyless bike.
This video didn't appreciably demonstrate how this bike sounds. It has a 270° crank that makes it sound like a V-twin or an MT-07, and from the saddle the intakes have been designed to produce a very pleasant tone that is only going to be apparent to the rider, similar to an aftermarket intake, more muted than pod filters.
I bought brand new bmw F900R fully loaded, in April 2020. Very pleased with it. Warm hello from Canada.
How has the reliability of the bike been?

Long Term Review of the Bike:
BMW F900R is an 895cc Parallel twin engine which produces 105bhp and 92nm of torque.
Pros:
1. Well Balanced and Nimble
2. High Quality Build.
3. Torque Engine
4. Smooth Highway Ride
5. Powerful Breaks
6. Class Leading TFT screen,
7. Smooth Quick shifter
8. Head Turner Looks
9. High tech like cruise control, heated grips, turn by turn navigation, adjustable rear suspensions, adaptive head light, lean sensitive abs and more.
10. BMW Motorrad Connected App. With Winding Road map option
11. Different Hight options for different riders
12. Good fuel efficiency.
Cons
1. It is on the heavier side.
2. Seats are a little hard which can get a little uncomfortable after a couple of hours of riding.
3. Hard to get after market mods for the bike especially in Canada.
4. It is very hard to buy the base version of the bike most of the dealers will have available with added packages which push the price of the bike a little bit.
5. The 15.4 liter gas tank is quite small for the bike.
6. Non-adjustable front suspension. Factory setup of the front suspension is wonderful but missing the option to adjust the suspension.
Misconceptions
1. Underpowered: comes alive in dynamic or dynamic pro mode. More than enough power for road and highway rides
2. Chinese Engine: Yes, engine built in China but it is built under the BMW standards. BMW name known for their Standards and Quality. It will reduce the labor cost not the quality of the engine.
Overall:
I am very happy with the bike and if you are looking into the Z900, MT09 then I think you should also give BMW the chance to get a test ride to decide if this bike is for you or not. Plus, it will come with BMW brand value.

you know for me . .tech belongs in a phone. When i'm riding I enjoy the simple thrill the machine instills in me.
Turn on the Dinamic Pro and you'll be at home👌😉✌️
I'm really becoming a BMW simp lol
Once you add all those tech things it is more expensive than 9780£
With all those accessories you mention the F900R will
cost you about 12353£ The bike with almost no tech cost 9,780£ It must be false info to claim you get all those things with the bike for 9,780£
You almost get nothing from all the things you mention that is on the bike for £9,780 :/
You can go to bmw homepage and add all the packages they sell for the bike and watch yourself.
Front forks are terribile, a shame for such a new expensive bike. They fall down in a while if you brake strong, wich is very easy with this not exactly progressive brakes Inside there is not an actual complete suspension. Changed the inside with an Andreani kit. Abother world another music. But you have to pay...
The electronics are awesome, but the suspension kills it, for me.
Nice bike but it seems a little safe and overpriced for the performance and spec.
They re made the bmw husqvarna nuda 105hp and 100nm torque and 179kg ... Less powerfull and heavier 10 years later!!! Shame.
I'm not a fan of all the tech - it's more stuff to go wrong. It's the feel of the motor that matters to me.
In my point of view, riding should be pure and simple so I'd tather have the R9T over this F900R.
I ride a 2019 Benelli Leoncino 500 by the way. And I love it.
😂I bet you never drove one, if you have a Leoncino 500 you would be blown away with this bike, a totally diferent beast, yes the 9t its a complete diferent bike, not better! Not prettier! Not faster! Much diferent, and more expensive 😉✌️
Lots of tech, bmw dealers will love the maintenance charges.
This cheapo bike is fine as long as you don't mind the fact that BMW dealers try to conceal the Chinese origins of the engine. No wonder its a rattily piece of crap compared to precession engineered and refined Japanese motorcycles
Loncin F900R, another marketing ploy to fool the brand conscious.
Fully aware of the location of the engine manufacturing plant, still confident it is the best offering in its class for my purposes.
Tech...nah...just enjoy riding.
You present this as though excessive tech is attractive. It puts me off a bike. More to go wrong, and keep it long enough, it will. I like the actual bike, though; good-looking. and the fact the engine is made in China doesn't bother me. I don't want a keyless bike.
faster in the corners? that bike has the biggest chicken strips i have ever seen....must have been really slow on the R90.
But the sound is so boring, more like a 150cc scooter
This video didn't appreciably demonstrate how this bike sounds. It has a 270° crank that makes it sound like a V-twin or an MT-07, and from the saddle the intakes have been designed to produce a very pleasant tone that is only going to be apparent to the rider, similar to an aftermarket intake, more muted than pod filters.
Sorry my fault,anyway thanks man
Chinese engine 😂
@miteor Are all BMW engines made in ChyNa? My main reason for avoiding BMW motorcycles.
M_ Dawg Most are made in Germany
@@miteor These engines are made in China and the bike is assembled in Germany
Sierra Nevada They are indeed 😊
@@m_dawg2432 It is disappointing that this engine is made in China.
The BMW is a very, Very ugly bike. Why.....
Yeah, I’m not sure why they went Japanese Transformer style on this thing... It does not look good at all. I agree.
Glad not everyone like the same i found it much prettier then any of the Mts from yamaha😎👌
I love tech!
I wouldn't buy this thing.
