Getting both technical and cosmetic upgrades for next year are the 2025 BMW Motorrad F 900 R naked sports and F 900 XR sports-tourer. In Malaysia, the F 900 R has a recommended retail price of RM67,500 while the F 900 XR is priced at RM72,500.
Starting with the engine room, the F 900 now has a Euro %+ compliant parallel-twin engine displacing 895 cc, producing 105 hp. at 8,500 rpm with 92 Nm of torque at 6,500 rpm. Dynamic Traction Control (DTC) is now standard, as is engine drag torque control, BMW Motorrad ABS Pro and Dynamic Brake Control (DBC) with the “Dynamic” riding mode retuned to give a more engaging riding experience.
Weight has been reduced with the F 900 R and XR getting 1.8 kg lighter wheels as well as a 0.8 kg lighter battery. This brings overall wet weight for the F 900 R to 211 kg while the F 900 XR tips the scales at 219 kg.
Specific to the F 900 XR is Headlight Pro as standard equipment, including daytime running light and adaptive headlight for even greater safety when riding at night. The F 900 XR also gets a USB-C charging port located inside the cockpit along with heated handlebar grips.
Riding comfort for the F 900 XR is improved with optimised aerodynamics for the front fairing. The redesigned wind deflector reduces wind pressure on the rider, reducing helmet vibration while hand protectors are now standard for all variants.
For the F 900 R, the riding position has been designed, changing the relationship of the ergonomic triangle between the handlebars, seat and footrests. This gives the F 900 R a sporty riding position, placing the rider closer to the front wheel.
Biggest change comes in the suspension department with 43 mm diameter upside-down forks fitted to the F 900 R and F 900 XR. Fully-adjustable for preload, compression and rebound, the F 900 R gets 135 mm of suspension travel in front while the F 900 XR gets 170 mm.
Colours options for the F 900 R in 2025 are Snapper Rocks Blue metallic for the basic model variant, the Triple Black version in Blackstorm metallic and the Sport model in Lightwhite with Racingblue metallic. Meanwhile, the F 900 XR basic variant is available in Racing Red, the Triple Black version in Blackstorm metallic and the version Sport in Lightwhite with Racingblue metallic.
