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.
Upright and classic, the Twin stands in the frame, upright and assembled, the Triumph Pilot sits at a height of 807 millimeters, and this sitting position characterizes the bike. There's little to complain about here, the owner of this bike is definitely on par with the competing motorcycles like the BMW R nineT,Kawasaki Z900RS or Honda CB1100EX.
What else to forget? Oh yes: the side stand is hidden and fuzzy to use. This is criticism at the highest level, because you have to look for more points with the magnifying glass. Class made, triumph.
