BMW Motorrad has just pulled the covers off of its 2025 F 900 road bikes, and I’m sorry, I just can’t wrap my head around the Sport colorway on the F 900 R. It’s loud, eye-catching, and maybe even gaudy. It immediately reminds me of Captain America’s colors, and quite frankly, looks like something he would ride in some low-budget spinoff…only it isn’t American, like at all.
Now, I get it. BMW's trying to attract younger riders into the fold, perhaps folks who like loud and lively colorways that are sort of, but not really, reminiscent of BMW's racing colorways. And regardless of how I feel about the new F 900 R's colorway, there's no denying that beneath the surface, the 2025 F 900 road bikes mean business.
You see, like before, the German company’s middleweight models are rocking engines made by Chinese motorcycle giant Loncin. For 2025, the punchy parallel twin has been refined with some extra electronics. It now comes equipped with an as-standard Dynamic riding mode and traction control, allowing riders to make the most out of its 105 ponies and 69 pound-feet of torque.
