BMW 900GS TEST

[@sweetbarry]

Does that build configuration have the cruise control?

[@Gen-X.Adventures]

Is there a midweight adventure shootout on our horizon?

[@DirtBikeMagazine]

We might have one coming. We def have the Adventure bug right now

[@wallymurray620]

Very nice bike. I just don’t understand why if you want to go off-road why not buy a true dirt bike? It will be 150-200 lbs lighter and 7- 9 k cheaper. And if you want to be able to ride to your trails there are several choices, KTM EXCs come to mind and both Honda and Yamaha have equivalent models. All far better dirt bikes at way less money and with that money saved you could pick up a used street bike that will do that half better too.

[@robvange]

YES...... my BETA 430 RR S............with the rally tank will take you anywhere OFF ROAD....... this BMW is a nice bike BUT....... too much money........and like you said...... it can NOT compete on real trails/singletrack, with a true dual purpose like my BETA.

[@mikelyon5595]

$19k for a bike with a Chinese-built powerplant? Nope!

[@cornelbibiri7485]

FK no...chinese engine ...😂😂😂😂 no fk way

[@darko_lengkeek-jakupovic]

Then you might also want to skip out on KTM. CFMoto builds their engines😂

[@cornelbibiri7485]

For sure man, I made my choice years ago, I ride an old KTM 1190, Proudly Made in Osterreich and I have to say I am sad that this shit is happening with this factories. New KTMs are not like mine and I am glad I bought that Old KTM instead of the new ones. It is shame that every one is looking for the price instead of quality this days. As for CFmoto ... I do not care about them, not intrested Hope for the future will all go back to homeland production with Rotax and BMW I hate this new cheap phenomenon that is called "Made in China" or India... if you know what I mean

[@vincemarshall8550]

@@cornelbibiri7485 was the 1190 definately made in house?

[@cornelbibiri7485]

Yes my friend, in 2014 was entirely made in Osterreich and I have to say it was well build...I have around 100k on board and no big issues. I love the bike, what can I say!

[@3brothersrc418]

I rode the ktm 890 adv R Rally back to back with the F900gs and I felt the BMW had more power as well as more low end torque.

[@NetMillionaire]

It’s a lovely bike but my 701 would leave it in the dust 😊

[@GrotrianSeiler]

It’s a very appealing bike but I don’t think that many people will be willing to spend that much for what you get. There are better options. Nice though

[@krazed0451]

I think you'll find plenty of people will be spending that much.

[@Butchersniper]

The T7 is such a better, more capable and reliable bike, for much less money.

[@DirtBikeMagazine]

We have a cool T7 video coming with Ryan Villopoto

[@habibi750]

How is it “better” and more “capable”? Of course the T7 cost less money. It doesn’t come with cruise control, a acro pipe, heated grips, braided steel lines, quick shifter, keyless ride, Brembo brakes, torque control assist, and an alarm. Oh and it has less torque, horsepower, and is 700ccs.

[@habibi750]

The 900gs would leave the top heavy T7 in its dust. The T7 was a great bike years ago. The competition has caught up.

[@trevornixon1006]

The T7 is asthmatic in comparison. I’ve owned both.

[@mrlemonadesandwich]

That would have to make it up around $30000 here in Australia. And with at least 50km too small a fuel range. No thankyou BMW

[@AngryManSki]

Fire the video editor. It was hard to watch. Music suited for a cooking show.

[@DirtBikeMagazine]

ahahahha Angry Man Ski please submit your best work! Or send us 250k to license the Rolling Stones!

[@kseth6992]

A most unappealing bike , no matter its capabilities … which are anyways matched by a lot others

[@andrea737]

It’s a Chinese, Loncin bike 👎🏻

[@darko_lengkeek-jakupovic]

Bmw designed, engine built by Loncin. So what? KTM's engines are built by CFMoto.

[@andrea737]

@@darko_lengkeek-jakupovic If you are happy to enrich the Chinese who don't give a damn about human rights and the environment, be my guest. I certainly don't buy (if possible) Chinese products

[@WinifredMulvey]

Made in China .
