    Other manufacturers: "We need to keep costs down, no cruise control, no heated grips, no TFT!"
    BMW: "We need to keep costs down, we knows you buggers never adjust the front suspension anyway, we'll lose that and keep all the other goodies"
    BMW think differently. Wish other manufacturers would take a lesson.
    Great review, chops! I'd buy one!

      No one REALLY understands why they keep demanding TFT screens, other than they are addicted to phones. What about the future of TFT? Are they really that durable? Do they really seal out pouring rain, small hail, baking sun rays, extreme dust and grit, high winds as long as an electro-mechanical needle? Doubt it. Plus how long into the future before bikes become unserviceable by consumers? How long before they become a two wheeled sealed iPhone? I don't like the way things are going. For some dumb reason the riding community and journalism communities keep demanding all the tech.
      It's about all reviewers talk about. Spend 10 minutes talking about all the tech bikes have, nevermind the riding experience. And don't say it'll never happen. Farmers can't fix their own tractors anymore. Even if they are in perfect mechanical running order, without a million dollar computer to connect to 1's and 0's, the computer won't allow the thing to run. "Contact the dealer/manufacturer". Fork over $$$$$$$$$.

    I'm 34, 6ft4", ~100kg and I got my full licence about 6 months ago. I'm still cruising around on my 390 Duke and I love it but I am window shopping for a bigger bike. I don't think I really need a bigger bike when I am commuting but when I am on the open road I feel a little bit like a gorilla on a tricycle. I used to do motorcross when I was in high school but I only have a couple of years of experience with road riding. I'm looking at bikes like the Duke 790/890 and MT09 but I recently stumbled across this bike, the F900R, and it caught my attention. The 890 and MT09 scare me a bit because they really seem like hooligans. The F900R seems a lot more civilised while still being able to have some fun. I think the F900R would be a lot better for longer distances, like if I wanted to go away for the weekend. It has cruise control, attachment points for panniers and I love that massive screen. Do you think this would be a slightly gentler step up from a 390 Duke or should I just get the 890 Duke R and be done with it? Another option would be the 790 Adventure but that is going into a whole new style of bike.

      I think you should really test ride this bike as i feel for your height, the footpegs might make your legs feel cramped as i have heard this from only taller riders.
      Otherwise this is the perfect All round bike i would go for but if not then definitely the ktm 990 duke. Anything else is not as good in technology, fit and finish and design. But the 990 duke is definitely more expensive. I would have also taken the suzuki gsx s1000 but its more expensive despite poor tech and a pretty old dash.

    • @HURundSoehneAG
      @HURundSoehneAG Місяць тому

      the f900 is probably a great option for you. I'm not sure about other locations, but in the german speaking world, there are options in the configurator for tall people. you can have a higher seat added and a higher handlebar, which is perfect for very tall people such as yourself. i'm 6ft2 and I had an F900 with those options. It was great !

    Can give an update in how the quickshifter works with six months worth of running under the belt.
    It still sucks on the upshift unless you are absolutely hammering it.
    Downshift is fantastic at any revs.
    It's the best all round bike I've ever owned. Never fails to put a smile on my face because it just makes me feel like a much better rider than I probably am.

    Great job, as ever, Lamb Chop. I’m personally much more interested in the f900XR, and I wonder if you’ll get to do a review of that model as well. I know they share most equipment, but the XR seems like it’s still a fairly different riding experience from the R. I’ve watched many reviews from riders and journalists from around the world, but none of them seem interested (or allowed) to ride the bikes at a spirited pace, so I’m looking to you for that.

    Surprising they included a steering damper, but not adjustable forks.
    Also, you wondered how they got it down to 8,600 GBP? Non adjustable forks likely saved them a few quid, and using pig iron (I assume, since it weighs so much more than it's competitors) instead of aluminium, etc definitely saves money.

    It somewhat reminds me of the 2019 Aprilia Shiver. A bike that got always bashed for being a tad heavy and where every reviewer was happy to ignore the adjustable suspension front and rear....
    The BMW to me wants to be something like a monster or a Shiver, and it being new with more modern tech it might be good at it.... Although it doesn't sound as good compared to the two Italians....🙈

    I sat on one at the dealership yesterday and I noticed the pedals are mounted extremely high. It felt weird. MT09 sits better tbh. I would love to see a video comparing those 2.

    Funny the way these "middle weight" 800-900cc bikes are now the "entry level" machines for full licence holders. They've taken over the mantle from bikes like the venerable SV650 and ER-6n/f . Have you got any drive on scales near you? You're dead right about the inconsistencies with manufacturers claimed weights, so a fully fuelled measurement would be a great addition to your reviews if it's easy to do.

    Nice video, thanks 🙂 ..... seem like a decent machine ... love that dash, very tasty!! Not keen on the headlight or combined footrest hanger plates. I'll stick with my 790 Duke ... same output as the BMW but considerably lighter and comes with a better set of electronics as standard (BMW requires a £600 optional package to get it to the same level - but then more additional payments for more packages can take it further than the level of the 790).

    I believe they skimped by having the engine made in China, not necessarily a bad thing but I would buy an MT09.

      I couldn't care less where the engine was made as long as it was manufactured up to the BMW standards. But I do realize that there are plenty racist out there who can't stand that it wasn't a white man putting his engine together (but they do like the lower price though) It's just sad and stupid.

      Yeah, must be racism..... it can’t have anything to do with how notorious the Chinese are with producing things with substandard materials to pocket the extra ten cents per item every time the quality assurance guy from Europe/USA steps out of the production area to take a shit or have a smoke.... you’re an idiot!

Oh yeah, don't know where you live but here in Europe we also take shit sometimes, despite our high standars. You just crap your pants I assume to bring in that top quality huh?

    With absolute respect as genuinely respect your opinions, I cannot accept any comparison to any Japanese or European made equivalent as the F900R has a Chinese made engine. Only serious mileage will tell if they really are as well made.

      @@williambedell3470 My father, like me, was a prolific motorcycle collector up until his death 15 years ago. He bought just about all Japanese bikes over 250cc, triple two strokes and four strokes as they were imported to add to his UK, USA and European bikes as was so impressed with their engineering. I collected alongside him, now for 40+ years and think I know a little bit about them. I repeat, only time will tell if Chinese engines are OK, try stripping one down and then comment perhaps, I have.
