If things go the way they did with their predecessor, BMW has a potential bestseller in its range with the F 900 R. Why not: The machine is quite cheap for BMW ratios and at the same time quite good.
You just have to know what you want. This bike is ideal for a sporty excursion without great travel ambitions. Whose wish this was always: Test drive please!
The test bike was provided to us by Bergmann and Söhne in Pinneberg near Hamburg.
What remains of this very special Ducati? First of all, she's not really a Ducati. These are loud, often hard and brushed on riot. The exact opposite is the Scrambler, and therefore the spin-off of these machines into a sub-brand was the right decision. The whole machine has an unexcited appearance, positive and just right for the connoisseur.
It is ideal for a relaxing tour after work and around the block on weekends. In addition to a new rev counter, the next facelift should also bring better passenger comfort on the short bench, because you have to be allowed to share positive experiences.
