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.
Elegant and fast
And so we have it: The Triumph Tiger 900 Rally Pro is an incredibly smooth motorcycle. She's cool, very confident. And it also has a penchant for details: the side stand is made of high-quality aluminium. No one has ever thought about how valuable a side stand can be, but it's stylish.
Ups - Grace, Pace and Style. Fits easily.
