Other Bikes » 2024 BMW F900GS review

Here is a review of the new 2024 BMW F900GS. It seems like a nice upgrade to the previous model, with lighter weight and more power. But stick close to a gas station as the new plastic fuel tank is smaller than in the past. And as usual, bring more money as you will need it if you want all of the special bells and whistles that are being offered over the base model. : https://www.motorcycle.com/bikes/manufac...t-ride-44604715

for road riders, the F900XR that shares the same engine is a better bet

over 14,000 quid for one with all of the toys

for road riders, the F900XR that shares the same engine is a better bet. You get a tank that is a whole litre bigger.

for the same price you can get a top of the range Tracer 9GT that is equipped with all of the toys and luggage plus a much better engine.

The article shows 105 HP got the GS.
The BMW US site shows 99 HP for the XR.

https://www.bmw-motorrad.co.uk/en/models...-technical-data for F900R says 105bhp for the same motor

They are always mixing up and mis-converting BHP and the PS figure (which is based on kW *4/3 iirc). The two are close but not equal.

This article mentions the HP difference between the US and UK.

Quote "It’s worth noting all this is with respect to the European and British-spec models. That’s because BMW’s middleweight range is detuned in ‘Murica. The F 850 GS has 90 horsepower and 63 pound-feet in the States, while the F 900 R maxes out at 99 horsepower. So we also expect the US-spec F 900 GS to produce 99 horsepower and 67 pound-feet. Yes, it’s still a decent jump over the 850, but this will put it on the back foot against contemporaries like the 103-HP KTM 890 Adventure."

Not to change the subject, but what's on tap for the coming RS model year?
