I've been eyeing that bike....it might be my next upgrade. I'm on my 3rd season with my baby Beemer G310R. It's super in the city (which is mostly what I do...commuting) but out on the country roads you have to go full throttle to do much passing. lol!

I've just bought one on the back of this (and a few other) reviews. It's a cracking bike, mines pretty much the same spec as this but with the touring pack. The seat in the review is the standard seat. I've done 500 miles in just over 4 weeks, I can't wait for the running in service to be done so I can really stretch her legs. Great honest review of a great bike 👍🏻🏍️

Wow that TFT is just graceful

I bought this actual bike in April 2021...Spooky seeing it here. I really enjoy this machine.In Dynamic Pro it really shifts!!

Really like the review Dan, I’m hitting the subscribe button! I ride a Z900rs hopefully I’ll get to see you review one and hear your take on the bike compared to the Beeemer.

Thanks. cheers Abe.

Got one , done 4k miles on it this summer, I'm 6ft, no issues with my nees, it comes with a plug to unlock Dynamic Pro, thought it's a track mode really. It's great just about right amount of power,and it handles fantastic, you can take liberty's with it, It is more lively than the xr different gearing, I had my seat done with memory foam, so I would guess that you have the comfort seat, and I've got the blue one😁, So yes if you are looking for a sporty roadster, not a naked sports bike, then consider this bike, And there is going to be a single make race series in BSB with this bike next year.

Like you, the looks to me weren’t all that great. I liked the bike almost purely as a logical purchase for my next bike since I’m currently in the market. I went to the dealer however, saw it in black, and I just couldn’t stop staring at it and loved the hard angles and dynamism of it all. It’s a very modern looking machine without going overboard I feel. I typically love Kawi’s bikes because they also use harder edges and angles, but on some of their latest bikes I think the designs are overdone and cluttered. Thanks for the review!

Thanks for the kind comment. Briefly, the engine is very different. More immediate torque and the engine doesn't need to spin up as much as the CB. Suspension feels better on the F900R, less harsh and better at actually absorbing the impacts of the road wheras with the CB I find it feels like it bottoms out a bit at times. Brakes on the F900R are way better. However, the CB for me wins with looks and price. It's such great bike for what you pay and still does most things pretty well!

I found the Ninja 650 to be an absolute rockstar as an all-rounder and perfect as my first bike and venture into motorcycling, but my only desire was that it had just a bit more power and grunt for those more spirited times outside the daily commute or tour.

maximus9401 you know, I really haven’t looked into the Triumph all that much, though I do know it constantly gets raving reviews from journalists and owners alike. Embarrassingly to admit, I’m sure a big reason why I never gave it a fair shake is the headlight housing looking like an afterthought, sort of just protruding from the handlebars awkwardly. The 2020 refresh definitely helped resolve some of that awkward design, but it still resembles too much like Wall-E from the Pixar movie or ET the alien. To be totally fair though, there are also things I would change about the Beemer, largely how the screen is a gross flashback to early car design when large multimedia screens were first being adopted. The single headlight I feel, should also be enlarged just a tad to better meld with the heavy stance of the bodywork/fuel tank behind the handlebars. I’m an architect by profession so design is placed higher up in consideration than it might be for many others, but you’re spot on in suggesting I look at the Street Triple. Like the BMW, it too has a great blend of tech, fit and finish, power, and comfort 👌

So guys I own a Honda CB 650r and I recently rode the BMW F900r. Now I am seriously thinking of buying the F900r. Reasons are - 1. There was no throttle play. This made low speed manoeuvres much easier and made the riding experience so much better 2. The suspension is so much better. It did absorb the bumps a lot better (The bike did not have comfort seat). Honda is not great over bumps. In UK in our B roads it can get really bumpy. 3. The bike is really nimble. The honda feels heavier on the front than this bike. The BMW was so chuckable in the corners I thought I was riding a 500cc bike. BMW is heavier than Honda but trust me it felt lighter than the CB650r. 4. Brakes are better. 5. Seating position - your knees are slightly a bite more angled than the CB650r but it made hugging the tank a lot better. I rode for an hour - did not feel uncomfortable. I am 5’ 11’’. 6. The noise from the engine is great. It comes at you from the front of the bike which you dont get on the Honda. You feel vibrations but as Dan says its good type of vibration. 7. The mirrors dont vibrate as much as the Honda. 8. No false neutrals and not a single issue with shifting (the bike I rode did not have quick shifter). 9. Last not least - yes this bike as more horsepower and torque but it was not scary at all. Its very well behaved especially if you have it at Road or Rain mode. I didnt once feel this bike was too much. If you want to have fun, take it past 4000rpm or put dynamic mode on and you will really unleash the beast. All in all, I felt much much better than the Honda. If you are undecided between the two definitely try them both on a test ride. Thought I’d share my opinion/experience. Shoutout to Dan - always love your content. Keep them coming.

PG GP its a cheap bike. Great option for some people that don’t care where the engine is built

It looks higher quality than it’s Japanese counterparts.

Is this still a Rotax motor like the 800s were? If so, I would highly caution anyone against buying one. I had a 2008 F800ST. It sure seemed like it checked all of the boxes- lightweight, good power and torque, impressive fuel economy. Lots of nice stuff like the underseat gas tank, single sided swingarm, belt drive heated grips. But of the 15+ bikes I've owned in the last 14 years or so it was the WORST! I hated that thing with a passion. That engine sounded like it had a bunch of loose nuts and bolts rattling around inside it due to terrible piston slap. Totally unacceptable for ANY modern engine to sound like that let alone something "premium" like a BMW. I know Rotax has made a lot of good engines and BMW makes good bikes but that parallel twin 800- avoid, avoid, avoid!!!!

@@liksombara822 ya the fz/mt07 is prolly better bro just deal with it. When you see these are selling well over 11000 usd with options it's a rip-off with a Chinese engine

please bmw... open your eyes...it looks a japanese bike...

Not sure who would buy one, being an S1000r owner I couldn’t see me buying one of these, much prefer an MT09 SP if I went for something naked with less hp

I think it's a good move from BMW, a middleweight naked bike at around the right price. It has decent power and is really fun to ride. I don't think they'll have any issues selling them. More choice is always good I say.

Not a fan of the looks or weight of this bike.

I believe that the engine is manufactured in China. Not sure where the whole bike is assembled.

Then shut up

This is an absolute shitter of all motorcycle. Rattly parallel twin with questionable build quality. All from a so called prestige manufacturer. BMW should hang their heads in shame for putting their badge of this outsourced piece of garbage

Well done on you ignorant comment. The engine is BMW designed but assembled in China, under BMW quality control. It is then shipped back to Berlin in Germany where the engine is checked and the rest of the bike is assembled and checked. Do you feel inclined to pile on all the other manufacturers for having bikes and parts assembled in China, Thailand, India and so on? What about your Chinese built iPhone or PS5, I guess they are all garbage too.
