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 gets stuck
The author of these lines likes to admit it: he has a penchant for somesloping motorcycles, types and activities. For this reason, the Yamaha is too distant in its unexcitedness, which is a purely personal rating.The Yamaha is very successful in trying to banish everything from slants except slants from their lives. It's a real tip and will certainly hold its own in the market with all its skills - the Yamaha Tracer 900 GT is ideal for people who are reluctant to make mistakes or drive.
Guys like me have to keep searching. You know ...
Our thanks to Motorrad Ruser for providing the test bike.
