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!

Conclusion - a bike without major weaknesses
And now, is the BMW a purchase recommendation? Yes, it is. It is not suitable for beginners, smaller people and experienced pilots. Its long-distance comfort (with a larger windshield) is excellent, it is also sufficiently bubbly.
The 2,500 Euro price difference to the BMW F 850 GS should actually strengthen any purchase recommendation. Here, however, they are precisely enough not to condemn price policy completely. If you can and want to afford it, you get an almost universally applicable bike with very good workmanship.
