MC Commute rules, Adam. I enjoy riding with you. Great commentary. Thanks for the video content and make sure to keep the rubber side down (when not yanking wheelies). Is the Z H2 MC Commute on the horizon? I know...I won't shut up about it. And keep the hair. Looks a bit wild. Like the riding. Just a bit nutso. 'Cause it's a motorcycle.

This bike has been alluding me forever. I wanted the F 900 XR for so long, but this one flew under the radar. Then the BMW Roadster bug bit me. I have never heard Adam give such high praise for any bike's handling characteristics out of all the reviews I've seen from him across ALL bikes. That's really saying something about this F 900 R!!

Hi there, Just wanted to drop you a quick note. Thanks for the fairly comprehensive ride review on this motorcycle. I did some research on the different makes and models within this class of motorcycle, and kept coming back to the BMW. Picked it up last Saturday and well I haven't been able to ride it much as DMV is still shut down and by appointment only here in Oregon. Rode it home from the dealership and OMGoodness!!! More to come I suppose. Thanks again as I don't rely on you tube content, but yours is fantastic!!! Thanks again and stay safe!!

Just bought this bike recently and loving every bit of it. Still breaking period so haven't tested to the full potential and dynamic pro. But overall build and ride quality is top-notch. Very easy to ride might be a little heavier but most of the weight at the bottom so nice center of gravity. It is an insanely balanced bike on low or high speed. Its TFT is just next level so much to play with. I named it SKY so I am in love with SKY :) The only downside I found is fewer after-market mods are available but overall no need to do anything extra to the bike except the tail tidy. Here in Canada it is really hard to find a base model available at the Dealers so with some accessories this can be little bit expensive but you can still order base model just need t wait for the delivery but even if it is a base model still is a lot of bike for it's price plus the BMW batch.

I had both F800R and MT-07. The MT-07 is just a great motor and good looking bike, but is too a near dangerous bike, as if it wasn't well ballanced project. Not even close. F800R rides much better and faster than MT-07. Much. In a bumping corner near my city, you just can't go over 160Km/h with the MT-07 cause it starts swinging the handle bar, and you have to close the gas to fix it. Meanwhile in the same situation the F800R could be at 185 or even more, rock solid at turns! All told, 0-10, MT-07 is a 7 out of 10, and mainly for the awesome engine, wich makes 10 out of 10. While F800R makes 9 out of 10 - in every aspect but the controversial design, wich was fine for me.

I've seen this bike at the dealership, looks good, but not great. I have also seen the Duke 790, which looks way better and I know has more power and less weigh. Probably the BMW is more reliable and more comfortable. Funny thing, the base F900R is more expensive here in Mexico than even the 890R (haven't seen it yet) and pretty close to price with the Street Triple RS 2020. If I were to buy a naked it would be either the Duke 890R or the Street Triple, maybe even also the 790 since it's pretty cheap here.

Awesome freakin bike. Seems like this MT07 sorta v-twin market is popping off as the best all around bikes. Anyone got any other recommendations to look into similar to these?

I’ve never been a fan of the bmw parallel twin. I remember choosing triumphs triple over the f800gs. This doesn’t sound much better. I found the engine boring. Maybe this is different.

No IMU triple or esa rear suspension, keyless non existent, cornering lights as well, seat on triple harder. Triple was revised in 2020 for euro 5 emissions, find it hard to believe no IMU!?!

Plus the street triple is lighter, has a more compact seating position and the r and rs models are more powerful. Overall I would say beside different specs the street triple is more sporty, while the bmw is the more versatile kinda bike. My opinion

I've been turning wrenches for 50 years, and I've never found dealer service superior to my own loving care. That "Service Overdue" nag looks a LOT like it requires a special "dealer-only" tool to reset. This feature alone would make me hesitate to buy such a machine.

In defense of my position, I just want to say that some things like a drive chain need lube at least every 500 miles, while others like engine oil need it annually or 5K miles; plugs 15K, cam chain or valve clearance 30K, etc. If I lube my chain at 300 miles to prepare for a trip, can I reset that counter before its time? What about tread depth or tire pressure? That should be checked periodically too, but I doubt it's in the system. I honestly don't think a nag on the instrument cluster is worth the trouble, especially if its so simple-minded that it trips every 4K miles, or if it requires a special tool to reset. However, I know that some people have plenty of money and pay their local BMW dealer to do every little thing, so perhaps these people are the target demographic. This seems to be the case for German cars, too. Too much unnecessary technology runs up maintenance costs with little true benefit. That's why the resale value on such vehicles plummets so quickly after the sale. Am I raving? 😁 Perhaps if someone used a standard automotive OBD-II interface, I would relax a bit. Any comments on that, people? 🤷‍♂️

I gotta say that it would be a great bike for the price if they opted to give you all the "accessories" as standard pieces, as it sits it's another naked bike in the lot with no clear advantage over the others. If it cut 30+ pounds off and gained an extra 10hp and 5 ft lbs of torque plus all the accessorized pieces as standard operating equipment this would beat out the likes of KTM, Triumph, Suzuki, Yamaha, Honda, and Kawasaki in one fell swoop like they did with the S1000RR years ago.
