User Review of F900XR by Binaya Kumar Swain

As a short rider standing at 5’4”, owning a sport-touring bike or a superbike has always been a dream for me. Unfortunately, most superbikes aren’t suited to my height, particularly for city rides where having my feet firmly on the ground is crucial for comfort and safety. The BMW F 900 XR has been a game-changer for me, offering an option to lower the seat while maintaining the same level of comfort and performance. This bike is truly awesome.
The showroom and workshop are conveniently located close to my home, making service and maintenance hassle-free. The representatives at BMW have been fantastic—extremely supportive and knowledgeable, ensuring a smooth buying process and excellent after-sales service.
At 58 years old, with significant family commitments and a busy schedule, I haven’t yet had the chance to embark on long rides. However, I frequently take short rides and can confidently say that this bike has provided an exceptional experience. The ride quality is superb, and the look of the bike is striking. I am very pleased with its aesthetics and performance.
One point to note is that the maintenance cost is a bit higher compared to regular bikes, but given the quality and performance, it is worth every penny.
The only drawback for me is the weight of the bike. It’s something to consider, especially if you’re used to lighter bikes. However, given its category, the BMW F 900 XR strikes a good balance as a mid-weight bike, and all other factors are definite advantages.
In conclusion, the BMW F 900 XR has met and exceeded my expectations, making my riding experience enjoyable and fulfilling. I highly recommend it to fellow riders who are looking for a blend of sportiness, comfort, and style.
