Segment: Enduro/Offroad
Production started year: 2023
In 2023, the German motorcycle manufacturer introduced the new premium mid-range touring enduro motorcycles, including the BMW F 900 GS, F 900 GS Adventure, and F 800 GS, that delivered pure riding fun due to more sophisticated off-road, adventure, and touring capabilities.
The BMW F 900 GS packed many innovations and featured an extended range of use thanks to its off-road capabilities and a 14 kg (31 lbs) weight reduction compared to its predecessor, making it a sporty machine.
The motorcycle was built on a bridge-type frame made of steel sheet parts holding the engine and using it as a supporting element. It packed a new plastic fuel tank that saved 4.5 kg (10 lbs) of weight compared to the steel one used previously. Also, the rear end was redesigned and offered a more dynamic look as well as 2.4 kg (5 lbs) weight saving.
In the aesthetic department, the bike packed standard features, such as an upper front fairing, a small windscreen, a one-piece dual seat, an Akrapovic exhaust system, a side stand, and lightweight wire-spoke wheels.
The 2023 machine featured two riding modes as standard, Rain and Road, ABS Pro, and Ducati Traction Control (DTC). In addition, the bike was available with optional features, such as a Pro riding mode with two additional modes, Dynamic Brake Control (DBC) and an engine drag control system.
The 2023 BMW F 900 GS had installed underneath its fuel tank an 895cc four-stroke two-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 105 hp at 8,500 rpm and 94 Nm (69 lb-ft) torque at 6,750 rpm.
