2024 BMW F900 GS Review : 7 Pros & 7 Cons

With the F900 GS, you get top class refinement. The new twin-cylinder 895cc engine has very controlled vibrations and none of them make their way to the rider at typical riding speeds / rpm.

BMW F900 GS Pros

  • 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

BMW F900 GS Cons

  • Stiff ride, especially at the rear. You get a noticeable amount of feedback on the handle bar
  • Tank capacity of 14.5 litres and rage 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
