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.
Digital motorcycling
Many of these sensations are eliminated by the digital form of motorcycling. The Zero is simply fast, sour fast. A spin on the throttle lever is enough, nothing more. If you like this, or for whom this immediate implementation is the attraction, the Zero is a clear purchase recommendation for you.
The question of each test is to find out whether the test object is good or bad. The Zero SR/F is not only a good motorcycle, but a very good motorcycle, under the restrictions of all batterielectric vehicles (expensive, short range). The Zero is a great motorcycle overall and in the sum of its high-quality components. However, one that digitally decouples the driver with what she does best – merciless passage without end.
And I've come to realize that so far, I've assumed that my definition of driving pleasure is largely about engine power – now I know that the way this performance is created is important to me.
The test bike was provided to us by Tecius & Reimers in Hamburg.
