BMW F900 GS
What you'll like:
• Sleek styling with superb fit and finish
• New 895cc engine produces 10 BHP more than the outgoing 850 GS
• Superb rideability and handling; despite the 219 kg kerb weight, very easy to maneuver on city roads or mountain trails
• Loaded with features such as Akrapovic sports silencer, quickshifter, riding modes, etc.
• Optional Enduro Pro package includes several technical and functional enhancements such as adjustable fork, rear suspension strut and more
• Ability to customise hardware such as front and rear suspension, clutch and brake levers, folding foot plate on the rear brake, etc.
• Priced extremely well, undercutting competitors such as the Tiger 900 GT and KTM 890 Adventure R
What you won't:
• Stiff ride, especially at the rear. You get a noticeable amount of feedback on the handle bar
• Tank capacity of 14.5 litres and range of ~250 km will necessitate frequent fuel stops
• Except when cruising on highways, heat from the engine is very, very prominent and causes discomfort
• Those looking for an all-rounder / tourer, will find seating comfort poor
• Available in only two variants and only one colour per variant
• Imported as CBU; service and repairs could be costly and non-fast-moving parts can take significantly longer to procure as they'd have to be imported
• BMW OEM accessories tend to be expensive and as a CBU product, third-party model-specific accessories could be hard to find and expensive
