Quick impressions on the BMW F900 GS after a couple of short test rides

All in all, BMW seems to have moved the game significantly forward from its predecessor, the 850 GS and I love how this generation has ended up.

Great review Libran. I had had a couple of really short rides on the 900 GS and loved what I felt in that very brief experience. I’m really itching to take it out on a longer test ride once I have some dedicated time for it. So far not been able to match my availability with the availability of Navnit’s demo. Will hopefully pen something in more detail on this thread once I get the chance.

From my brief ride, it was evident how immensely flickable and off road friendly this bike was, specially since I was coming right off the heavier 1300 on both occasions. There will be some touring comfort compromises though in the way they’ve designed this, some of which are not so pronounced on immediate competition like the Tiger 900 RP.

All in all, BMW seems to have moved the game significantly forward from its predecessor, the 850 GS and I love how this generation has ended up. It’s a definitive match up to the Tiger now and brilliantly priced too, for what it offers - a pretty penny cheaper than both the Desert X as well as the 900 RP in Maharashtra.
