BMW F 900 R Cup Racer is NAUGHTY!

We honestly thought the race-kitted BMW F 900 R would be a dreary affair. Turns out we were wrong...

Hope bmw cash in on this and make a 900rr or rs or whatever with upgraded suspension very similar to that ktech. And a nice exhaust. And the ability to turn down abs more than stock. The f900r should've been a modern day husky nuda, but isn't quote there in stock.

[@timh6845]

A Cup Replica would be mighty sweet!

[@richbrett7268]

Just what i was going to reply. 105hp. 100nm and 179kg.. Hasqvarna nuda for the road... I have one and love it... I was like... Brilliant they revived the nuda but at 219kg f900r and down on hp and nm different frame. They have not.. I thought swm might have had the rights to do so from old husqvarna and my anticipation is waiting.

[@wobblysauce]

One day, but not today

[@Pavehawkpilot]

I could see the nomenclature being an “M900RR”

[@brandonamison8950]

That sound when fired in the garage 🤩

I own a 2020 f900R and it out handles my 2020 s1000RR.. it’s hands down an amazing bike. Maybe the best for the money

this circuit is fkin amazing. need to go there in my lifetime. great video as always, thanks

[@rahulsudhir666]

Anglesey is a beautiful track both in terms of how technical it is as well as the location and surroundings. The green grass plains on one side and the cliffside views on the other 😍 That's one reason why Chris Harris used to test/review cars almost always back in the day.

[@MotovlogUK]

That looks like bags of fun. Top vid as always buddy! Thank you.

[@1MrBryn]

I've had my F900r for over two years now. It has an SC Project exhaust on it and it just absolutely makes me smile every time I ride it

[@latarn817]

Is it a full system? Did you remap it? Or just slip on?

[@victorc2201]

@@latarn817 I've got a new "Dominator" exhaust (Polish company) and the sound is absolutely crazy. My F900r is got the restiction for the A2 license and I think the sound will be improved by unrestriciting.

Great video 👍🏻 Wish you guys could do another video like the Ducati V MV travelling though another country like you did a while back. Reminded me of Grand Tour on bikes.

[@henryvilas9953]

I rented it's sport touring brother, the 900xr when I did a tour of the dolomites a few months ago. An absolute scalpel passing faster bikes or keeping up with big boys. It really impressed the hell out of me

[@andrewandlm]

What an absolute masterstroke by BMW. Cannot wait to see and hear these in action. Nice one Nige

[@LordShibuya]

Putting in a bespoke suspension really is the single biggest improvement that can be done to a bike. I’m running full Maxton kit on my Honda Hornet and the difference is just massive. Transforms the whole bike into an absolute weapon without breaking the bank or having to buy a new bike altogether.

[@mozer30]

I absolutely agree, to put it into perspective I went 11 seconds faster around cadwell park after getting forks sprung/set up and fitting an ohlins shock…..I then went a further 4 seconds faster after fitting a k-tech cartridge kit, it was a different bike that just inspired confidence.

[@SC-qs3xq]

Haha, loved this. Last time I was at Anglesey I comprehensively broke my ankle club racing - nice to see that view again! Road riding only for me now but I'd love to make a replica of this for the road. All the bike you'd need!

[@hilbilchillbil]

Really excited to see these in action should be some great racing hope BMW make a replica for the road 👍

[@Megayoshio8]

I have the Mivv exhaust and it sounds exactly the same. Fun bikes!

[@raymorris952]

I've got one, I love it, Now waiting for the road going r Cup, in the meantime I've got to get that exhaust system.

[@_Makanko_]

Ooh that does sound very delectable. I hope we got some competitions going. Should put this vs 890r, MT09-SP and some others. Time for another middleweight shootout?

[@FortyFourTeeth]

Never really thought of the F 900 R as a proper rival to those you mentioned. Well, in standard trim, it severely lacks in most departments

[@Alex-HD]

In standard trim it’s the most lack of character in a bike that I have ridden.

[@AntaresSQ01]

@@FortyFourTeeth Really? Standard trim that bike has roughly the same power with a better spread, brakes off of an S1000XR which are loaddsss better than the MT09's wooden pads, and the suspension with D-ESA is well sorted, if not up to par with the MT09 SP and KTM 890 R specifically, but it's definitely a match for the base MT09 and base 890

[@G0ogs]

I took a look at one of these, nice bike the standard exhaust definitely needs replacing, I,ve got the f800 and may well go for one of these.

[@PedroDVC]

[@soilsmanadv6673]

I would love to see you ride that bike a Laguna Seca in Southern California. With all of the up and down and corners that would be fun!

[@bikehubjapan]

They do sound quite nice! Could be fun to have a >700cc and an upto 900cc class for the supertwins. SV650/R7/RS660 and then a KTM/BMW class....not sure if the BMW's would be much quicker than the 700cc class though...

[@mark675]

@Franz Fanon not necessarily, all depends on weight, torque and obviously power output

[@richbrett7268]

@Franz Fanon I did 4 x back to back track days around 4 circuits in the south island nz.. I was riding my husqvarna nuda pretty much a f900r but with under seat fuel tank and 179kg.. My best match for fun was ktm690 one was stanard and the other was fettelled with. The ktm is about 134kg and 72hp from memory... Obviously it cornering was amazing but what suprised me was the grunt out of corners and i only just had a bit more on the straights upto 180kph.. So lap for lap depending on the circuit it was a heaps of fun play with the strengths and weaknesses.. My lap times are the quickest on this bike over other bikes ive Had ontrack days bcs of the confidence it gives to put it hard.. On one corner i remember lifting my foot off the right hand peg as it was getting squashed on the frame as the peg hinged up while scrapping on the ground..

[@richbrett7268]

I recon it would be pretty close.. My mate raced a nuda and best lap was 1.39 another mate raced a sv650 he was about 1.41 from memory.. Different bikes and riders the nuda guy was very competitive and had won a few times in class .. So it could be pretty close , those f900r / nuda nakeds run out of puff much after 200km, the 100hp rs660 may slip through the straights a fraction quicker???

[@dukie1616]

He had mentioned putting these up against super twins with the likes of 890R’s.. sounds great!

[@bikeserv]

I trully love these simpler racebikes with less power, than the electronically stuffed 200hp ones. Because, let's be honest, you have more fun with them. And I used to track a ZX10 and an R1. Sv, er, nuda, f900, homemade supermonos or mini twins. Love them

[@ViceCityNightcrawler]

It looks badass!!

[@keltecdan]

How has the reliability been? The f900r ticks all the boxes I have for a second bike. The only thing I don’t like is the foot pegs hit the back of my lower legs when my feet are both on the ground.

[@NAKSUUUUU]

@@keltecdan I have a f900r as well and I didn't have a problem so far, but the footpegs are on a weird position and they caused me to crash the bike on the first week of having it

[@vincents8165]

@@keltecdan It's been pretty good - had a few glitches but I use it pretty heavily - done 19k miles so far including a lot of track days, some touring and a lot of commuting. It's a perfect all rounder - you can take it to Germany for the Nurburgring, take the top box off and zoom around, then head back through the motorways of Belgium, all with no problems. The electronics are fantastic as well.

[@keltecdan]

@@vincents8165 Wish I could ride one through Europe but I’m in the states. We have really nice winding roads but they are spread out either in California, Colorado and Tennessee. I like the F900r since I’m considering one however I don’t like the heavy weight of the bike and the foot pegs hit the back of my legs when my feet are on the ground. I guess they’re in a weird position.

[@vincents8165]

@@keltecdan I was a bit worried about the weight because I came from a much smaller bike (G310R) but weirdly the F900R feels much more stable when riding - not sure if it's the electronics or something else but you get a lot less pushed around by wind or turbulence from other vehicles. I got a G310R as a replacement during the last service and it was striking how much more stable the F900R was. I haven't noticed the foot pegs but that might be because my last bike was similar
