2020 BMW F 900 XR

[Admin]

2020 BMW F 900 R (BMW/)

The BMW F 900 XR shares a boosted engine, frame, and most part numbers with the F 900 R. What it doesn’t share is the riding intent. Where the F 900 R is more for the aggressive rider, the F 900 XR is for those who seek out a sporty tourer with its longer suspension travel, larger fuel tank, Michelin Road 5GT tires, and wind protection—equating to a $2,700 price increase over the R. With a Cycle World measured seat height of 33.6 inches and measured wet weight of 492 pounds, this midrange adventure sport has reasonable dimensions for newcomers or returnees alike, but if needed, there are various seat heights and a lowering feature available from the manufacturer.
