Ideal for a sporty short trip
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.
Conclusion - what sticks
Goodness, what a machine! Since the release of the Superveloce 2020, I have longed for a detailed ride. And I enjoyed every minute with the MV. Of course, the Superveloce is also a small Italian diva in some things, but overall I was surprised how balanced it is. It is wonderfully unreasonably loud and not very suitable for everyday use and is therefore either shooed over country roads and race tracks or just put in the living room - although it would actually be too good for that. It is best to order two for both purposes!The test bike was kindly provided by Bergmann & Söhne in Hamburg. There she stands in red as a demonstrator and in yellow to look at. In general, a visit to the Nedderfeld is always worthwhile, because the MV exhibition of Bergmann und Söhne is a revelation for every motorcycle fan. You can actually see all these works of art from Varese for free and even sit on them. Guys, do that while that's still possible. Because who knows, maybe one day we will have to order motorcycles online ... May this please take a long time.
