Let's give this thing a proper pounding through rough enduro tracks, then finish off on the motocross track to determine if the changes I've made to the suspension allow the bike to live up to it's name - the F900 GS Enduro!

What Adam says at the end is very true BUT, the fact that Western countries have become so much more expensive than competitors is due to Western governments artificially ramping up the costs of manufacturing with nonsensical "renewable energy" agendas (I've been following that conundrum for many many years and it doesn't make sense!), their unwillingness to explore and develop cheap and abundant energy, irresponsible monetary and interest rate policies and a perpetually expanding bureaucracy that costs an arm and a leg to sustain. Governments always expect citizens to take the hit and start cutting costs whereas they never do that and always expand like a malignant growth. But any sort of growth that doesn't have an apoptotic/checking mechanism, ends up cancerous and killing the host. The host is us! We pay the taxes! Wake up people, the current path is not sustainable. A Greek sufferer (of a textbook case of an ever-expanding State). P.S. BMW and many other traditionally Western brands, outsourcing the manufacturing of their bikes, or large parts of it, to Chinese producers should sound an alarm for the West. P.S. 2. Exactly like Adam says at the very end, I looked at the market and couldn't justify the prices being asked for inferior bikes (with huge bundles of electronic junk that I will never or seldom use - but will surely have to pay) from those of the recent past. So I bought my second 990 Adventure which I'll try to keep for as long as I can. They don't make bikes like these anymore. Manufacturers don't really want adventure riding to continue. This requires premium parts and that's expensive. They want Starbucks customers to keep buying their bikes and gather at coffee shops to talk about the next bike in line for consumption. Literally and metaphorically.

If we are being objective here, he sounds more like a BMW paid salesman than any other video I've seen about this bike. This conspiracy of all the youtube reviewers just saying what the sponsor wants is vastly overblown. Just idiots trying to think they are superior by "figuring out" and "knowing more" than everyone else. It's all stupid. The man is sitting there lamenting that the bike that is built to sell bikes isn't built for his 1% of riders style and skill level, and then attempting to justify it by being elitist about a brand well known for charging more than their product is worth. You can get 80% of the BMWs performance, features, and durability for 40% of the cost now, just doesn't make sense to throw your money away at BMW.

I totally understand his point. And it's valid. BUT most people are not like him and don't need the " big brand " stuff. And let's not forget about the price, there is NO way i can rake more than 10K Euro to get a bike. I love his content and i love the Adam, but he just missed the biggest group of ADV riders with his comment, the group that have bikes under 10k. Hell, maybe even under 5k. If i had the money to get a 890R or a F900GS Enduro, yes i would buy one. But i just can't like most people. And i was about fudging time the 'Big brands' got some pressure.

Agreed!!! Please give us your no nonsense opinion!!! Coming from a standard but upgraded T7 (owned) theres no doubt the Toureg 660 (tested) is a more refined beast and right up there in capability... BUT I know what I'd rather be riding in the outback due to dealer network and known reliability. The Beemer seems to be a contender - bigger than the Yam and Aprilia but with similar tech to the 660 and with more dealership options in Oz... still holding on to the T7 despite having to contend with tippiness when slow moving... low slung Safari 45lt tank could be the fix?

​@@BernieRunns I'm from Costa Rica, i agree, italian bikes are not very common in here, heck, not even Kawasaki sells as much as Honda and Yamaha, or even Suzuki, as the owner of a Versys x300, i have had to deal with a few issues myself, because I can't even call the dealership, that has 2 offices within the central area of the country, to ask for an air filter for the Versys x300, because they might not have it in stock, while the Chinese bikes have everything in stock everywhere around the country. Thing is, i would be extremely worried about breaking an Italian bike in Central America too, the support is near non existent, Costa Rica is a very small country, but i live at 200+km away from the closest Kawasaki dealership. I'm lucky that the Versys x300 is not a complicated bike, you won't catch me ever riding an Italian bike, they're too freaking sensitive.

I think that this is arguably most important, honest and brave stance to take in light of the unravelling of many budget adv brands where an attractive price is likely combination of cutting corners and unfair state subsidies. In the long run it will be beneficial for us, riders to support established brands even if that means paying a premium over the unfair competition

Yeah but people want bikes that look like adventure bikes, not necessarily ones that can perform well in the dirt and mud. These are purchases that would be used 90% on the road for commuting and 10% on weekend gravel rides to a campsite. They don't need trick Showa shocks, just something with low running costs and more ground clearance than a typical beginner bike.

Well said. 100% agree on supporting the manufacturers that do all the development. Those that copy can't and don't innovate, which means you are contributing to innovation dying if you buy based on price alone. R&D costs money, and we should support that as consumers. At the same time, I do think the major manufacturers should do their best to keep prices in line and not just focus on shareholder profits.

It's what I've taught all my Motocross students for 10 years. You find a girl you date the girl you get to know her and get to understand everything about her. Stop jumping ship and thinking the grass is always greener on the other side. Ride what you know get to know it and do the best you can with what you have.

As a Guide and mechanic specializing in BMW’s, I don’t care for the 700-850cc ADV bikes off road. If I’m going off road I use my personal KTM990 or 500exc to lead tours. We are awaiting the 900’s availability and are taking delivery of a 1300 soon. I spent 12 days in Baja on an 850 off road and I just don’t find them capable. Seeing your and other testers wringing out the 900, I’m starting to look forward to getting one. It’ll take a heck of a bike to get me off of my 990!

Just check all the stuff he’s done with the 890R, most recently the 890R MY23(? - the one with the updated fairing) reveiw after doing the promo video. His primary focus is fundamental balance and dynamics so 901 and 890 will be the same.

Great video as always. It doesn't matter which motorcycle you ride. To me you are a legend anyway. Quickly back to the basics with less electronics as possible. The Warehorse and the Darkhorse.😊

I think it will be popular, around the same price as 901 & 890R, but hopefully more reliable :)

Great review, Adam. Not everyone needs a new bike - wait a year and buy a used one and get some of the extras for "free". And in reality very few people need all that power, and there aren't many who can really handle it either. Increasing the engine size, power and weight each year is only a money spinner aimed at the well-off. My F650GS/Dakar from 2001 still runs well and I don't need a dealer to service it. Stay safe Adam🕊

2001 F650gs here. 91000kms going strong Nothing but consumables, valve checks ✔ and I changed the water pump and rebuilt the calipers as preventative maintenence. If BMW/APE built this bike today with the Austria built Rotax, I would go buy it again.
