2024 BMW F 900 GS Unboxing & Start Up | The Yamaha Tenere Killer? 

Even the crate construction impresses me!

keep doing this for your bro Christian! RIP.. Good review!

I've just seen the new red bull video, with Toprac riding one of these, amazing.

I have a 2013 G650GS and its a ton of fun.... I can't wait to upgrade to this F900GS ❤

i have a ducati sled. F900 is amazing. sat on one today. solid. adj suspension is very nice. the exhaust notes are nice. well done. Ducati needs to answer.

Wow, most beautiful motorcycle I've ever seen !

what about the other version of the gs900? the GS adventure 900? when is it gonna be released?

Great looking bike and if you are shorter rider this bike will fit you like a glove. With a low seat of only 815mm from the accessory catalog 👌🏻

What is that back ? Where do you put luggage ? Is there an option for a rack ?Overall....not bad !

I hope to see more of this bike ....on the road perhaps? But first let us see the rest of its unboxing!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

I love new models and have been driving BMWs, among others, since 1980. Back then it was an R90S. This month I had to make the decision whether it should be a new R1250GS, an F850GS or an F900GS. I would have had to wait for the 900, but I compared the facts. After extensive test rides on both, the R1250GS was ruled out for me. The F850 GS is much more approachable and sporty. Just awesome! I have 5 motorcycles. Among others, a K1600GT and a KTM 890 Duke R. The F900GS actually impresses me less. In summary, I think it's a marketing move on paper with a serious improvement over the F850GS. The horsepower is "marketing horsepower" because the additional power of the 900 only occurs above 8,000 rpm. Below, the 850 and 900 engines are almost the same. It may be that the 900 feels more powerful because it has a shorter gear ratio. I find that disadvantageous because the 850 revs relatively high on the highway. In daily use, the driving values and impressions will hardly differ. I compared the dyno charts, but unfortunately I can't post them here. The 900 was needed because of Euro5+ and the marketing horsepower deficit compared to KTM. Besides, the 900 engine was already in production anyway and now they just need one made. The F 900 will never match the driving values of a KTM 890 Adv. or Husky 901, but the BMW engine is much more refined than the KTM/Husky LC8c. I know the LC8c well from my KTM 890 Duke R. The new adjustable Showa fork on the 900 is a significant improvement over the rubber fork on the 850. The F900GS is not 14kg lighter than the F850 GS...at least not in the BMW information about the models on the internet. It weighs “only” 10kg less than the F850GS… and oops… F900GSA is even two kg heavier than the F850GSA (246kg vs. 244kg). As with the R1300GS, the 900 GS tank is half a liter smaller than its predecessor... is that supposed to be a joke? The 850 tank is already too small. Design is a matter of taste. I think the 850GS is nicer and more dignified. e.g. The rear frame triangle looks cheap on the 900 because it is hardly covered like on the 850. The Vario case holders are completely missing! It looks like some of the weight saving also came from fewer and smaller panels up front and that looks cheap too in my opinion. The elimination of the taillight, as on the 1300GS, is certainly a weight saving. I think it looks terrible on both (the 1300 and 900)... but as I said... a matter of taste! From what I heard, the old Vario cases no longer fit the 900GS. But I haven't been able to confirm that yet. Ultimately, the 900GS costs $1000 more (list price) than the 850GS and there are no discounts or preferential financing. I got $2000 off my new 2023 F850GS. BMW also offers 1.9% financing for 60 months (0% for 36 months is also offered!). But to each his own.

I don't know who BMW's new designers are, but they are light years better than the old ones. The new 1300GS and 900GS look really, really good.

Voge 900dx?

What’s the model of the tires on this bike?

Wondering how top heavy does it feel and how the suspension will handle technical terrain

Maybe you forgot but Tuareg 660 have 240mm

no 4k Video, damn!

This one costs at least 3,5k euros more than the base Tenere. That's no competitor. I think it looks very plane too. I mean at that point, the Africa Twin 1100 costs just 1500 more.

Where is the air filter ?

Tuareg has 24cm front travel.

Upcoming soon Tenere 900 .. Easy beating)

Is this enduro one? I’m 175 cm. Which one would you recommend?

Yamaha lost all of it’s engineering in the past years.. 😢 KTM literally RAN IT OVER (with the exception of a timeless R1). BMW & KTM are the only two bike manufacturers still making BIG changes & not sleeping. 🥰🤩✨

Finaly a GS that looks good.

Voge 900 dsx, same engine, 8900 eur 😮😮

I keep seeing thumbnails that say "Tenere killer". How many bikes have been Tenere killers and it's still here? 😂😂

Really nice but the small fuel tank kills it as a travel bike. I'd have one for Europe, but I probably wouldn't take it riding through Mauritania or on tour across South America, and that's what the history of the GS line is all about.

Mad bike whats the price ?

The Tuareg has 240mm travel😊

BMW can dream big. I like it. 😂

Cmon, their was no fuel in the bike you added it, the 700/850 units are Rotax engines and this is developed off them too.

Urban GS or F900GS? I hate 17in rear wheels. 19in please.

I can't see this being much competition to the KTM 890 adventure R

Priced about the same as a 2024 Africa Twin. Why this bike?

What kind of shoes are you wearing here?

by the time people will see it can easily can beat the T7 with its capability and power .

It can’t be a Tenere killer because it’s not at the same price range… But it look nice that’s for sure

I'd take it over the Tenere. I ride a bmw. There is just that bit more class and taste about them👌

💯💘

New tank is smaller, wrong direction on design. Looks are ok, personally think the previous generation being the 850 has a better look.

😮😮😮👏👍

Wtf are those frint calipers they look like single piston. Mine as well vuy a cf moto since so much if this is already Chinese

It’s almost 40% more than the Tenere in its base configuration. Comparing the two bikes is stupid.

the bike looks amazing, truly does but fancy them cheaping out with that crap bashplate and NO crash bars, must try harder

Engine still Chinese?

Why on earth would you not remove the suspension straps from the bike before turning it on?! wtf

💯 *PromoSM*

How can you say "the bike will be planted on the asphal". How do you know that? The bike is still unpacked. I thought you were a tester, not a die hard fan :-)

I mean price wise... Don't think so.

Tenere killer? Seriously? 😂 BMW fans can only hope that quality control on this bike works better than on the 1300 GS.

It's a loud motor. Noisy compared to Honda and Yamaha Tenere.

People just don't get why the Tenere is so special and therefore successful...

14.5L isn't good enough for this type of bike.

Gosh, BMW really screwed up the look of their designs(cars & motorcycles). The Gs from that epic front end to an unavoidable ants face, not to mention the new 1300 👾

Is not a Tenere killer, but I can tell you for sure what it kills, yours Bank account.

take the honda transalp 750. and cheaper

Open belly, ton of electronics, … it’s a Honda Transalp competitor. Don’t see it as a T7 class bike.

I think they're 100% made by Loncin in China. So it's not really a BMW at all.

The price alone prevents most people from going off-road. And if your head isn't clear, it's better to leave it alone.

Se ve muy desordenado el taller

Tenere’s killer? Sorry guys but tenere died when transalp 750 released and many others on the same category!

First !!!

2:37 "Made in Germany" stamp on cardboard Bike made in China? 🤔 Cardboard made in Germany? 😂

The China-made Engine is a turn off to me...I'll pass 👎👎

It's better to buy a real BMW GS from the 1990s and renovate it

Engine made in China?!

Too much talk...

I drive an 850, you are talking nonsense.

You really have no idea what you are talking about, right?

Hahaha Tenere killer ? Why not Ktm 890R killer ? 😂

Leave this crappy bike in the crate please.

It looks HORRIBLE !!
