@@weswally1 nope, the Tuareg and the Yahama have both a very distintive design. I can't say the same thing about the Transalp, the CB500 x and this bike.
I'm not sure if it really shines when you compare it to the Tiger 900 Rally Pro considering the weight and tank capacity (plus the power if you remove the limit set at 98hp for the regulatory A2 limit).
Love the way slimmer look! 👍 colors look nice and the headlight aint bad either. Id like to see if base spec is decently priced and actually has useful things. The problem with the 850 is its not even good until you tack on 5k worth of stuff 🙄. Thats Big Money Wasted for you though.
Another great thing about this bike: The low Rallye seat improves off-road controllability, especially for shorter riders. The seat height is 835 mm - 35 mm lower than the standard seat. This is without changing stock suspension!
How is anything low a good thing on a bike that supposed to go off-road? I have never seen a good rider having issues with tall bikes. They usually just slide over a bit at the traffic light. Gaston Rahier is probably the most famous example.
@@mrtopcat2 i agree with you as far as that nobody needs to "flatfoot on both sides of a motorcycle''... the bigger problem ist the tank on top of the motor which creates that ANGST of tipping over in slow corners
Because if you are vertically challenged it does provide more confidence if you can touch the ground with your feet, in case bike is about the tip over. Everyone thinks they are Pol Tarrés until they hit the first bump on the road and fall over @@kloppskalli
@@kloppskalli Well, that is exactly the issue. The market seems to be driven by catering to ‘new riders’ or other inexperienced riders, who are getting these bikes to virtue signal with their suggested off-road lifestyle, without actually possessing any of that virtue, let alone ever venturing off the pavement. They need both feet flat on the ground just to not fall over, while struggling to make even a simple a 3-point turn on the most even pavement.
Beautiful, but my f800gs adventure is still doing fine but in the future the GS is a possibility. If the quality, reliability and resale value is the same as my previous BMW´s then I'll buy one in the future. I heard him say TFT expensive 1000£...the display on a Honda AT costs 3000 😢. The adventure will probably be a superior allround travel companion. Is it stil a 270° crancshaft because I more prefer the smooth 360 of the old 800.
It will be interesting what they do with engine maps. I've had my F900 for nearly four years now and the difference between Road mode and Dynamic Pro mode might as well be a different engine they're so different.
Nice vid Rob, looks a totally different bike from my old F850GS! They’ve repositioned this bike to be a lighter off road bike? The F850 bikes all overlapped a bit too much so now they all have more individual identity. I like it and the lighter weight would make it better as the weight was why I sold my old bike.
I love it; it looks lean and mean while probably having a suite of electronics. It’ll definitely be pricey though but it’s good to see the middleweight ADV segment really becoming competitive. We the customers are becoming spoilt for choice
Props to BMW for cutting a load of weight (although I'd take a steel fuel tank and side stand over aluminium and plastic. They've sort of made it look like a CB500X or even an F650 Funduro but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Tbh I'd take a new version of the Funduro!
I'm just surprised they didn't wait until the R1300 was released and then go with the next-gen display as there is no doubt BMW will improve it with the big GS. It's a solid system with the wonder wheel and TFT, but it will be legacy in like a week.
Am I the only one who prefers the asymmetrical style of the old headlight? To me that design had more character. The new one looks the same as the Honda Transalp/CB500X.
never owned a BMW bike and this one is intriguing. although if something goes wrong its so much easier to get KTM parts. theres 3 KTM dealers in 400km of me and only 1 BMW motorcycle dealer within 400km. i'm a Honda fan and have a few already from 450RX to CB1000 and even a VTX1300 but the Africa Twin is nice but HEAVY and more of a long range 50/50 bike. i want a light 50/50 or 70/30 for offroad.
i dont rly like the position of the exhaust it looks like so far outside when it falls it will bend alot atleast it gives me the impression can allready see a mod with an exhaust which goes below the seat or something :D
I think the styling of the tank and side panels is very similar to the f800gs that came beforehand. And i don't think the headlight resembles the T7 or the taureg . More like bmws own 310gs
I have 2 bikes, a KTM 890 R for offroad and bmw r 1250 for touring, but I want to have only one bike, do you think that this f900 GS with Enduro package, will be enough to join this 2 worlds in only one bike. I know that this 900 GS is not going to be like the KTM in hardcore Enduro and I know this 900 GS is not going to be the most comfortable bike for street roads as the 1250 GS, but maybe this bike is going to be in the middle of those two worlds, do you think that this bike, is going to give me that sensetion of satisfaction? Please advise me, I love the 1250 GS but I don't want to have 2 motorcycles any more
890 is still 30+ pounds lighter, plus the tank is lower, the rally mode with 9 TC levels smokes this too heavy beast. Kudos for the try. The KTM is fast too!! Very. The Beemer is probably more reliable
Unremarkable and top heavy unlike the 890 which has its weight low, the best suspension and is so well balanced - this bike is cheap looking. Time will tell but having owed an F (reliable but dull) and an 790 R it seems like BMW is not learning a lot. Must be good margin$ in the roundel esp as its a china bike. The CF moto seems a better option.
I think they’re trying to separate the models more. The 800GS is a barebones light tourer for one up street riding, the 900GSA is the long distance two up tourer that may well work a bit better with the bigger engine. The 900GS is now more off-road focussed. If you think about it, it makes sense as the 850GS was too heavy off-road and not great as a street bike. However there is definitely a whiff of the emperor’s new clothes about the 800GS and 900GSA.
@MH-xd2nd but we had a f750gs an f850gs and a f850gsa so the models have not been separated. The f900gs has been improved. How they have increased the engine size and nothing else on the other versions is not really great. I actually thought the f800gs was making a comeback to rival the T7 transalp 800de and really shave some weight off.
They've done a good job here. BMW always turns in a well developed, reliable package that is broadly very capable and versatile. That said, I still think the weight is too high for a serious offroad bike - less than 10% lighter than the phenominal 1250GS. Conventional suspension will help off road though. Price is ok-ish for the modern gouge market - it makes the Tenere (and AT) look very expensive, but I'd take the Tenere off road and for expedition any day: keep it simple, keep it strong! Ultimate quiver: still 1250GS and Tenere 700 WR. Wouldn't trust a KTM to get you home - I've owned 35 bikes of which 5 were KTM and they've all let me down. The other 30? Never.
Very interesting, I always thought this F900 engine was a bit weak for the F900R and the F900XR but for an off-road adventure bike it might the perfect. It will of course knock the Tenere 700 out of the park but that is not what it is going up against spec och pricewise. It is of course competing with the 890 Adventure, Adventure R and the Ducati Desert X and such bikes. So 219 kg wet, 105 horsepower and around 95 nm torque, hmm. I wonder if it could get as good or close to the KTM 890 Adventure R in the woods and for more technical off-road use, then I would be very interested since BMW's reliability is better than KTM
You know what we want BMW to do, but they wont, cause they do not listen to their buyers like KTM does.....bring back the 650...massively updated and they will corner the market...but they wont do it.
Could be tempted to px my desert x in a year or so as this will now destroy the yanaha world raid/rally sales unless yamaha drop a 900cc in the tenere frame and beef up the suspension, looks nice and abit aprilia tuareg looking at the front, shame it hasn't got 48mm forks and a few extra liters in the fuel tank but I'd buy one of these over the tenere any day of the week
It seems an ever increasing number of bike are made, at least partially, in China. Just look at KTM. When reviewing a motorcycle, I think it would be a good idea to include that information.
Its true but the Chinese moto companies have invested heavily and their new factories seem even better than the european , japanese ones we will see in the future i guess they are going to improve a lot and chew off the sales of the classic brands
I had a 65O GS during long trips terrible OEM seat made me cry from all sorts of pain. Later on I put a gel pad over the seat it was better then but seriously why BMW is incapable of producing comfortable factory seats like Triumph 900 or SV650 ?
They really messed up the tank weight, like 14 is too small for that sort of bike, just put it at least between the 16/18 liter range. With that tank size you'll only be getting about 150 mile range on a good day from an engine that produces 105 hp.
This will probably beat it on hp and torque. One will probably be better on road the other off road. And then it will be a toss up between total cost with the accessories.
it's so simple. 200kg bike as standard, +- 100 ish hp for the fun factor and a good alround design like the T7 but with lower center that's ready to be thrashed. don't get me wrong, we want the raw hooligan feeling back. I rlly like what they did but they could be better. Maybe take of the heavy BMW logo's that'll instantly take of 10+ kg xD
This BMW physically looks a lot like a Tuareg 660, which I own. Its power train, slightly heavier weight, and tech package are aimed at the Ducati Desert X and the KTM 890. The midrange ADV bike class has a nice set of offerings that are all competative, and equally competent, to the point that rider skill is the determining factor more than the difference in machinery. Each bike is stronger in some area than the others, which gives riders choices that will best fit their riding style, their on/off road riding percentages, their budget, and their esthetic tastes. Too many good choices is a good problem to have!
Yep , I was starting to admire it until he started rattling off all the electronics, then I realized how I love my T7 because it doesn't have any of that.
The Tiger used to have an uber-smooth Turbine like triple… Then Triumph “meddled” with the crank pins in an attempt to deliver twin cylinder characteristics. For many of us, they ruined its best feature! 🤦♂️
I was just about to drop £23K on a R1300GS … However I get anxious about motorcycle theft (particularly in the U.K. and when touring Northern Europe (France / Netherlands is v bad) .. However; this looks utterly gorgeous. Especially the rear as the video discusses. I’m tempted to go for one of these. It has a standard Akra, add in the new (today’s news) BMW nav device, cruise control and some vario luggage. The only thing that frustrates me is the 14.5L tank !
The tank is super small for this sort of bike, they messed that one badly, it will at max get 150 miles range on a full tank which ia horrid for an adventure focused bike, they should have strived to get a 200 mile range with it.
Hopefully Yamaha lowers the price of the T7 back to pre COVID levels now all these new euro bikes are out. Not happy with the manufacturers using COVID as an excuse to extort more profit out of the Australian off road community.
Got thru configurator... got very dissapointed... buy package, or don't get anything.... and it is very heavy 900cc bike... Will wait for more independet reviews about this bikes.

Oh totally. The Honda felt like such a let down.
Wait till you see the price though it won't be comparable with a transalp.

You get what you pay for.
Looks like the styling team was definitely influenced by the Aprilia Taureg 660 and Yamaha T7.
Yes ,I thought it looks pretty sweet, is the only other bike I like the look of besides my T7.
It really looks like the cb500x
More like the Transalp ..
So what you're all saying is that all major mid weight ADV bikes just kinda look.... the same?
@@weswally1 nope, the Tuareg and the Yahama have both a very distintive design. I can't say the same thing about the Transalp, the CB500 x and this bike.

It’s actually surprising how little you hear about the F900r compared to the 790/890 and MT/XSRs.
interesting to know !
One thing the F850GS had that I did not like, was being top heavy. Maybe this is better? Looks nice.
I would to see you compare this to the tiger900 rally pro.
Thanks for the info. I'm very interested in th F900 GS. It isn't on the US website yet.
With this bike seeming to yield more towards trail only, what is the advantage of getting this over a lighter big bore dual sport like GasGas ES 700?

It's amazing how heavy the f850gs ended up being. I'm glad I just stuck with the f800gs. I did lust after that tft though.
That yellow and red is a beauty! I hope they bring it to the states!

It's the Honda F900 Transalp
lol
When they going to put a raised front fender
I have a speedo angels on my tiger 800, never knew it was there. I need one for my Trident 660
It looks like a Honda, what happened to the beak?
Should have brought back the underseat gas tank.
What happens to passenger seat? It now looks like enduro seat from Tenere.
Very impressive work put in by BMW to take this bike up to a new level. For the everyday world,I’d still prefer a centre stand.

Headlight is a fail imo, it reminds me of my 2019 Honda CB500X. Is the new 900 motor still being produced in China?
By Loncin, as the one that will fit the Voge 900
890 is still 30+ pounds lighter, plus the tank is lower, the rally mode with 9 TC levels smokes this too heavy beast. Kudos for the try. The KTM is fast too!! Very. The Beemer is probably more reliable
Are they not both close to 215kg and 105hp. The 30lbs+ sounds more like wet vs dry. This bmw is 14kg lighter than the f850gs after all...

We'll have to see if it can take the abuse and be reliable now!
Any word on the Yamaha R9 ?
Aluminium for the side-stand? That seems like an odd decision to me.

Bosh... straight in with the first vid, you must work around the clock!
Updated models of F850GS from 2021 onwards weigh 233kg, so 14kg is correct. Models 2018-2020 had indeed 229kg.
Sounds heavier that what the air/oil cooled r1200gs was.
I’m a huge fan of your videos 🔥

Hello sir cover 2024 890 adv r rally
Too big engine, too much Power. No competitor for the Tenere.
This is bmw’s new best seller!
I have a T7 and this is my new bike.
I think and hope it is that good!😃
Of 900 is a 'middle weight' what's a full weight?
Acerbis or IMS will hopefully make a 20 litre tank for the GS, making it a real contender for my next bike.
They really messed up the tank weight, like 14 is too small for that sort of bike, just put it at least between the 16/18 liter range.
With that tank size you'll only be getting about 150 mile range on a good day from an engine that produces 105 hp.
Would a quickshifter or cruise control be optional?
Definitely. It was on the f850gs
This bike is a direct response to the ever popular Tenere 700. It almost looks like one too, with a splash of BMW-ness thrown at it.
It certainly looks good... for an adventure bike.
Any news on the new vstrom 800 road version?
Yet to be unveiled on EICMA
Bmw should also release 450+650cc Dual Sport ´n´ Adv Rally models. Bmw G650X Challenge was a head of it's time!
How about the front suspension sir? Is it good like GS1250?
No telelever is far superior
I would love to see a comparison with Triumph tiger 900 GT pro rally !!
This will probably beat it on hp and torque. One will probably be better on road the other off road. And then it will be a toss up between total cost with the accessories.
looks like honda transalp made by bmw, a bmw f900 transalp if you will
it's so simple. 200kg bike as standard, +- 100 ish hp for the fun factor and a good alround design like the T7 but with lower center that's ready to be thrashed. don't get me wrong, we want the raw hooligan feeling back.

Was pretty much decided on a Tuareg 660 for the next bike. This is interesting though.
This BMW physically looks a lot like a Tuareg 660, which I own. Its power train, slightly heavier weight, and tech package are aimed at the Ducati Desert X and the KTM 890. The midrange ADV bike class has a nice set of offerings that are all competative, and equally competent, to the point that rider skill is the determining factor more than the difference in machinery. Each bike is stronger in some area than the others, which gives riders choices that will best fit their riding style, their on/off road riding percentages, their budget, and their esthetic tastes. Too many good choices is a good problem to have!
The tank capacity is woefully small.
Goodnight. This is from Brazil 🇧🇷 could you please post the next videos. simultaneous translation. hug 👍
You should compare Africa twin 1100 vs F900. I think I’ll pick Honda any way
Nooooo! They killed the asymmetric front light. Looks quite generic now :/
First look:honda cb500
pondering if the new headlight design will also make it through to the new R1300GS line too.....
Hope not. Looks very ordinary, like a the Transalp head lamp.
I think it's lifted straight from the G310GS@@davidmallia628
I don’t want to go off road and don’t really want the adventure, seems a bit of a mistake? Should have made 2 versions of it 🤔😢
This is clearly based on the HP2 enduro
nice.but how much its gonna cost?20k?fortunately,there is still the tenere,thank god.a question...where is kawasaki in adv/touring bikes?dead?
Yep , I was starting to admire it until he started rattling off all the electronics, then I realized how I love my T7 because it doesn't have any of that.
Difficult to compete with the looks of the T7, and the well balanced, complete, package of tiger 900.
I hated my Tiger 900 RP.
The Tiger used to have an uber-smooth Turbine like triple… Then Triumph “meddled” with the crank pins in an attempt to deliver twin cylinder characteristics.
For many of us, they ruined its best feature! 🤦♂️
I was just about to drop £23K on a R1300GS … However I get anxious about motorcycle theft (particularly in the U.K. and when touring Northern Europe (France / Netherlands is v bad) ..
However; this looks utterly gorgeous.
Especially the rear as the video discusses.
I’m tempted to go for one of these. It has a standard Akra, add in the new (today’s news) BMW nav device, cruise control and some vario luggage.
The only thing that frustrates me is the 14.5L tank !
Maybe you could find a sollution for your longer trips by carrying the extra fuel extenenarly somehow...
@@robotech21 That’s a very good point ! A 5L bladder, probably used only once a year !! 👍🏻
@@maxflight777 I mean if this is the only that bothers you it would worth the try
The tank is super small for this sort of bike, they messed that one badly, it will at max get 150 miles range on a full tank which ia horrid for an adventure focused bike, they should have strived to get a 200 mile range with it.
Consider the Honda CRF300l, I have the F850GS and its too big for serious off roading.
If they could make it lower in the seat, would be perfect.
Looks like transalp
Looking at new GS1300 but would like a lighter bike, should I be concerned with Chinese motor? For some reason prefer German made
It's been around since 2015 f750gs f850gs f900r f900xr have used the engine it seems to be OK for reliability.
@@chrishart8548 thanks,Chris!
looks like My Aprilia Tuareg 660 ! just saying ...I
like it
and it looks a lot like the Honda TransAlp
Is the engine end to end by BMW or is it sourced?
I think it's still manufactured in China but whole bike made and assembled in Germany same as previous model
@@rami6265 thanks! It’s a bit of a disappointment…
Hopefully Yamaha lowers the price of the T7 back to pre COVID levels now all these new euro bikes are out. Not happy with the manufacturers using COVID as an excuse to extort more profit out of the Australian off road community.
Looks good BMW can’t wait to see a proper off road review.
Looks great but 14L tank is a mistake.
Looks good.
Want one
Got thru configurator... got very dissapointed... buy package, or don't get anything.... and it is very heavy 900cc bike... Will wait for more independet reviews about this bikes.
