Have you ridden it? Have you spent as much time on Yamaha as on BMW? I suppose not. So, how can you compare 2 bikes if you haven't ridden/owned both of them for the same period of time?

Congratulations for new bike bmw 900 XR. My question is what is optional items do we need to add on. It’s a must ? As a beginner it’s suitable ? Please advise.
When I first got on my bmw the sales team tried to walk me through the features of the switch gear and the TFT display, I was like don’t bother I just need to concentrate on riding and I won’t remember anyway. But sorta like a car in time you get accustomed to just how well engineered and useful these features are. For instance I can answer my phone or use the BMW Connected app for navigation and never have to take my hand off my grip or turn my head to look at my phone on a mount because it’s in my pocket. These features are so good it’s hard to imagine them _not_ on my next bike especially for longer rides or commutes. We live in a world full of distractions and tech and we get used to having this tech but these bikes bring it all together safely and elegantly in a way I could not have imagined.
This engine is the same of the F850 GS but with 10HP more, 105HP, but with always 92Nm of torque as F850 GS. Can you tell me if you felt some difference in torque? It push more than F850 GS?
The superb bonus of F850GS in traffic filtering is that the handlebar is higher then on F900XR and S1000XR and the mirrors of sedans and small-medium SUV's is not a problem, you just fly over them all. Only big SUV's and other high-mirrored cars are the issue, there are not so much of them in traffic. I'm the newcoming F850GS owner and for me it is super easy to filter even in hard traffic and narrow lanes.
Although I always try to avoid the cities sometimes you must drive through. You are the first one who mentioned the heating of the engine while driving slowly in the city. When I made a test drive on a (very nice) Multistrada it cooks my legs in the similar situation. And that was a NoGo for me. But this bike probably could be a good follow up for my TDM900 ohne day. Thanks for your review! 👍🏻
Great review. Still need to ride one. Your mic was picking up the motor louder than it is at a couple points. They tuned it for a visceral feel. I’d love to see this with BMW panniers and/or just top case, that’s how I tour and often commute to work and meetings. Just top case is easier to filter and Lane split ha.
LOL. Tell it in a face to a fan of Harley-Davidson. :-) I think opposite, in lower RPMs it has bass character while in higher is closer to similar machines on the market. Generally, I love it.
Thanks. Well, I'm using the GoPro Hero 8 with Media Mod, and as you can see, it sounds pretty good. I connected a standard wired microphone to the media mod to record the voice.
Thank you very much for the revieuw. Great explaination and info. But for me, this is the final straw (to say it like that haha) to go for the tiger sport 1050 and not this one.
John Andrews yes, you can listen to the guidance in your headseat. If listening to the music, the volume is automatically getting down. You can also disable it
Very nice test. I think myself this bike is a very all rounder, from the town to weekend ride to a long trip. And, very important to me, because bike is an object of passion non just useful, I found it very "sexy", I just don't like the big side bags but I do not find it such a problem. By the way commuting is very important to me, I live in a town half of the year, and the bike seems quite easy in the traffic.. I just found the engine sound quite noisy. But I imagine it depends on the microphone. Or not? Thanks.
hey there! i will answer your question ,because he wont answer. he died in an accident a few months ago RIP. in my opinion the xr as an owner it is a bit noisy but not to much. it doesnt sound like the tracer 9 or kawa z, but is just fine. in terms of power is excelent, very well balanced and feels very comfy and safe on twisty roads. for me is a 9/10 motorcycle. the only better thing i would improve would be the engine, which is very good but not as good as the other 2 i named before. ride safe nemo
very kind of of you for the answer, after many different test drive anthinkin of yhe necessities of the roads where i go mostly, I choose this one for future bike and I think I won't be disappointed. So sorry for a biker dead on the road, I myself I've had a bad accident and safe for miracle. Rest in peace, motorcicle man.
@@nemozack3767 ok then! Obviously the xr 900 IS an amazing motorcycle. That IS why i bought one over the two i named before. Overall even if the tracer has better engine the BMW IS way more balanced. I LOVE this bike. Amazing take care
Thank you for showing me what the bike is like to filter through the traffic. And what it's like to go from one side of the cars to the other side . I have to do that a lot here in Sydney. Stay safe!
Hello! I really love your reviews! Currently riding a R1200gs, looking to downsize. Will you be doing a comparison between the tiger 900gt and the f900xr in the future?
How is this bike for touring? I'm deciding between thr f900xr and thr s1000xr. Not sure if the s1000xr is worth the extra 10k in cost. Power between the two is irrelavent to me. I'm more focused on comfort between the two.
Bought one. I am picking it up Christmas week. Have a little Royal Enfield 350 Meteor for around town. I have owned everything from a f650 to the 1200GS. THANKS
@@applecorp picked it up today. Got the tow and additional tire coverage plus normal 3 years or 36K. This more than likely maybe my last bike? 70 at end of term. Who knows..
In each review of these new 900’s I’m struck by how the motor sounds like a a bag of bolts. So much rattle,clatter and top end noise for a Beemer. 270 twins should and do usually sound great but the racket these thing make is not so good.
What really bothers me is that these guys are so in love with BMW that they don't tell you the those brembos are the exact same ones on moto guzzi v85tt, but they bashed moto guzzi ones for not being so good, but on this bmw they somehow miraculously perform excellent!
Great video! How do you think, which better for everyday city riding and also for some trips (without really dirt roads) - F900XR or F750GS? Both of them have pretty same price in equal complication.
Please, I need specific mention on the low-end revs' pull and the softness of the gearbox to the throttle open-close responses (if it kicks when you suddenly close the throttle). Thank you.
Your videos are a super boost pack during these crappy days of Corona virus. Thank you!
Comparison VS Yamaha tracer 900 GT, please!
I did, and the XR won in my opinion.
Tracer 900 13.000 euros full. I think Yamaha crushes all the rest

Its like riding a bicycle with good engine and nice look while sitting upright
Thats exactly what I want
If you would make a decision between Bmw f900xr and Ducati multistrada 950s, which one would it be? A comparison would be great 👍
Loncin engine......no thanks. Tracer 900 is better.

After watching a number of F900XR reviews, I think the one word that sums it best is "relaxing".
Sounds like crap. Would still love one. 😍
Fantastic first comprehensive review, excited for episode 3
Is it a diesel? These fancyTFT displays are fine for some, I prefer to give 100% concentration to riding safely.

Hi 👋🏽 can i ask if your f900xr have steering vibrations at speed of 100kmh-155kmh…?

A Ducati with boxer engine
K1600 should get this display but they still stick with this crap Navi
So for road use only which is best BMW F900xt or the Tiger 900gt??

Still waiting for sidecases, crash bars and foglights to be officially available....
6:00 I share that experience. It is almost like a bicycle - pure fun of riding. Thanks for your review.
Thanks so much for sharing your commute and the beautiful ride through Bucharest! Next time I watch your videos I will wear my FC Dinamo jersey
Sounds great at higher RPMs, but at lower RPMs it is like a tractor!
LOL. Tell it in a face to a fan of Harley-Davidson. :-) I think opposite, in lower RPMs it has bass character while in higher is closer to similar machines on the market. Generally, I love it.
RIP brother! Your videos were all great in high standard.
This one and Kawasaki Versys are the best to own for daily & multi use
To bad BMW's sound like seeing machines.
Thanks for this informative video. I would like to hear about your opinions when comparing this bike with tracer 900. Best regards from Istanbul.
Thanks. We'll do it asap.
And it sounds awful!
Indeed
Great info,thks.
Great video! Could you please talk about you camera gear and how that gopro 8 Media Mod is working for you?
Thanks. Well, I'm using the GoPro Hero 8 with Media Mod, and as you can see, it sounds pretty good. I connected a standard wired microphone to the media mod to record the voice.
Hi, does the front suspension dives a lot? It will be nice to compare with the Tracer 900 GT. Tanks and keep with the good videos.
It's not a diver, if asking me. The front comes with a perfect balance between comfort and sportiness. Yes, the comparison is in our plan.
Love the genuine good hearted insights, well done Sir!
Thank you very much for the revieuw. Great explaination and info. But for me, this is the final straw (to say it like that haha) to go for the tiger sport 1050 and not this one.

Longer term fuel consumption worries me with such a small tank. My versys 650 can do 400km...
hi, If I want to sell my 2019 versys 1000 and buy this bike, do you think it will be a tie move and will I miss the 4 cylinder 1043 cc engine?
Great vlogs there buddy, I would like to hear complaints for this XR(If any) - Respect from India.

why does the cruise control not turn on at times or flash "red" instead of green for cruise control activation?

Sounds awful.
Un salut fierbinte din California sunt pasionat de video care le faci mersi mult😉✌️
for a Chinese engine runs pretty good...
how is the wind protection for the keen？better than old xr？
Any chain slapping like it happens on the 850gs?
The sound of this bike is hurting. Nice vid though
what a loudly sound that. İ dont beleive this is bmv
Hi - how would someone at 189 - 190 cm 'fit' on this ? (coming from versys 650) Thanks!
Yes. But take the comfort seat.
Which one would you go for, a F900XR or a 2018 r1200gs with low mileage under 2000km, if the difference is between 2K€ more the gs over the XR?
The XR. More fun to ride. But it depends what you want from your bike. The GS is better suited for touring and adv riding.
Im debating this or the f750gs
Is this something I can put on TKC/Pirelli scorpion rally’s and go off-road ?
I wouldn't do that
Will the new tracer 9 GT be a better bike...?
Where are you located my friend.? I know it’s some where in Eastern Europe..but curious to know the city!!

You could do a comparison against the tracer900
coming soon
Bro,compare it with tiger 900 gt pro
How torquey is the engine around town? Do you find yourself changing down a lot to get acceleration?
Torquey enough for my taste. Didn't feel the need to change often.
204km of range with a full fuel tank?? not interesting if you wan't to go to the alps
300 km with a full tank. :) But still, the fuel tank is a bit small for sport-touring.

It pulls quite good at low revs. Better than an inline-four. Feels more torquey. There's no kick.
