2024 BMW F 900 GS | First Launch Ride On And Off-Road

[@abstractspaces8186]

"Cold tires, gotta be careful..." Immediately pops a wheelie 😂

[@disekjoumoer]

Thanks for the video, mates. It's a far, far better looking bike than the old one. Weight is also decent now. It'll probably sell quite well where people can afford it. And that's the rub, what are the prices going to be like after the usual bmw force feeding of add-ons? BMW's base bike were always affordable, but no one bought them like that, and after all the add-ons, they're usually only outpriced by Ducati.

[@WeAreTheTrueMedia]

Are all the UK bike channels just sending Chad to launches they haven't got time to do 😂 Poor bloke has managed to review this bike several different ways this week and somehow I've learnt something new each time ❤

[@BikeWorldTVshow]

Hey, not really our fault, the manufactures are inviting far less people to these launches now, smaller market and all that. If we still want to show the new bikes we have to sometimes share people like Chad, he does his best to make each review as different as possible, it does mean he's run off his little feet though. 🤣

[@iLLuzion1st]

@@BikeWorldTVshowChad is the man. Thank you

[@alvarosolis7837]

Please get Chris to do a comparison between the 900 and 1300 GS.

[@akuskus]

That is one good-looking bike.

[@BikeWorldTVshow]

It is isn't it, the better looking GS now.

[@PetterIvarsson]

I think the styling is best of many bikes the last 10 years.

[@АлександрК-ю3в]

T700 looks much better;)

[@flamintasty]

It actually looks ok, for a BMW off road type bike. Not sure I’d pick one over a Desert X though.

[@joeblow5037]

Nice review of a pretty sweet lookin bike. If I had the funds, I'd probably still go after the AT. Would stay far away from the KTM and Norden. Reliability is everything in the middle of nowhere. imho 😉

[@peaceoutvanlife]

Group test, group test, group test! Please and thank you

[@svendborganders]

What about the new 800? As an adventure/gravel bike?

[@ricardo6861]

Must be minted you Chad👌🙏🙈

[@BillyTube-q6o]

Looks like a CB500x. Handsome bike!

[@thebikingamateur6237]

The only thing not sounding honest about this review: "This is work, not a holiday."

[@momorrow-u8b]

So height wise how did you find it…I love the look of this bike and also know you can lower it with seat and suspension..I have a 30 inch inseam, what’s your thoughts

[@fhululithole174]

Can we get a review on the F800 as well

[@leonstrydom9898]

Looks nice, for us down in Africa fuel range could be a issue. Even the Adventure has a smaller tank than previously if I understand correctly.

[@glossblack1098]

14.5 litre tank too small. Wish it had 17 or 18.

[@jimjambandit]

ABS is still on the front in Enduro Pro? Don't like the sound of that.

[@ridingtales4866]

I really feel they should've given F900 headlights rather than GS310

[@chonkyb3134]

Is this bike mostly an off road bike ?

[@rohandrummer]

What jacket you got on? Loving the colour.

[@theonenizz]

I think its a Knox Urbane Pro MK3 Utility

[@rohandrummer]

@@theonenizz Thanks for the info brother

[@ant4467]

How is this bike compared to the T7?

[@fozzy1717]

Great video review , standard for bikeworld, any chance of doing some of the adventure bikes from the Chinese invasion, the likes of the kove 450 rally , kovve 800 rally , cfmoto 800 and cfmoto cf450mt the inline twin 450 looks pretty decent

[@strutter176]

Add to basket!!!

[@fikricrane]

Petrol tank hoe many litres?

[@brucerossonthetube]

How does it compare to the Desert-X?

[@BikeWorldTVshow]

That's what we need to find out.

[@timsalabimbombassa]

It’s silly they change the tires for on- and off road on their new allroad. Who does that?

[@DanTube2010]

You can choose either tyres when you buy the bike new which is a very good idea.

[@timsalabimbombassa]

@@DanTube2010 Then I take back what I said. Good idea indeed.

[@Nomikeal]

Seems like it definitely caught up to the competitors but without something extra special I'm not sure who would choose it over the others. Seems too middle of the road in a no mans land

[@Knypsterino]

7:13 Way more tech than 850 GS?? I can’t see that in the specs. Is it just me?

[@BikeWorldTVshow]

It does, Chad did a whole tech section on the onboard camera but it didn’t record correctly, bloody GoPros!

[@generaldistrust]

why does it sound so different than the classic 360° crank??

[@chrissorreda4982]

Its a 270 degree crank

[@generaldistrust]

@@chrissorreda4982 😮😮😮😮 since when???? where is the engine made???? was the 850 also 270° ?? the okder 800 was still 360° if i aint mistaken

[@chrissorreda4982]

@@generaldistrust I believe this is its first year in the GS, but BMW’s 900 twins were 270s since they were introduced in the F900

[@generaldistrust]

@@chrissorreda4982 oh boy, this sheds tons of light if that's correct .. . that's *very* curious! (more details on this engine should be also interesting, including how it came to fruition+production, and where exactly etc'..) good info .. thanks a bunch 🙏🏽👍🏽

[@inked-96]

14.5L tank. No thanks. Looks like a great bike.

[@glossblack1098]

Wish it had 17 or 18 litres so you could get 350 to 400 km range.

[@inked-96]

@@glossblack1098 Exactly. I wouldn't go with the 900GS Adventure as it's too heavy. They have spoiled the bike.

[@rodneyhull9764]

What are the weights please?

[@williamrae9954]

14kgs less than the old 850...if you bothered to listen...I'm sure Google is available, but you sound either stupid or lazy?

[@woodywood3388]

Nice video, but missing all the things we want to know: power, weight, seat height, rating on the chick magnetism scale. You know, the usual stuff.

[@BikeWorldTVshow]

Yep, Chad did cover all of that with his onboard camera which had technical issues, bloody GoPro!

[@woodywood3388]

@@BikeWorldTVshow Thanks. Technology sucks. Any chance of a quick recap of what he would have told us? Weight and seat height the key points of interest. Thanks.

[@Bugside]

An expensive Ténéré?

[@pvt.paula4423]

A cheaper Desert X

[@brathahn5176]

Tenere is not cheap

[@Drewstheboy]

Tenere is cheap in the uk and a lot cheaper then bmw

[@musique2005]

Good looking, small tank and what sounds like a castrated engine/ exhaust note :/

[@GiancarloBenzina]

Clearly a misch-moschi same-same-bike now in the can do everything somehow bikes. Not a T7 and not a Desert-X or their extremes. And not a Big Hammer V4Enduro. In that case it’s an easy choice: AfricaTwin, all the way. Which, that’s your choice. Just look at the resale of Triumph, even liking the triple, it’s not giving a positive sum and the Beemers, yes, the small one F800 sure for beginners who want to be in the Beemer game, but otherwise we all know what BMW fans will buy even for 3-4K more, a 1250GS or a 1300GS whatever fits the budget. To me: - T7 for the purpose - AT19” DCT 2024.for the comfort long-range travel with occasional broken non-tarmac roads - AJP PR7 for the TET/ACT travels - RD04 for living on the bike as a hobo somewhere in the world.

[@AntaresSQ01]

The thing is, the F900GS looks good on paper, when compared to the F850GS, but when you dig deep, you realise it's just a parts bin special with bodywork stripped away. Engine of the F900XR/R, headlight from the same models, Frame, suspension off the previous gen but revised, electronics package, off the other bikes in the range. There is nothing new or "unique" about this bike and sadly it shows when compared to the competition. It's a nice bike, but it's not the most powerful, most engaging, best handling, lightest or cheapest. It's a very "good all around" master of none bike.

[@Drewstheboy]

Get me on that bike and first thing that’s happening is that cat will get damaged, bad design bmw…this is no way a mid tourer and over priced..

[@bhok1971]

Free decat!🎉

[@andrewlindley837]

All this talk about moving the back end around and popping wheelies is total garbage and will only encourage those who maybe dont have your skills to get into trouble on the road/ track. Grow up. Weve got too much mud in the UK to make these expensive heavy bikes worth the bother off road.....how many times can you lift the bike you dropped and not be totally knackered. Try it in the mud ! Maybe Im just getting old and yes like most competitors its probably a great piece of engineering. Spoilt for choice.
