Our take on this /// Verdict

The BMW F 900 XR is a well-rounded and highly capable sport-touring motorcycle that excels in both comfort and performance. My experience with this bike has been nothing short of impressive, particularly in its ability to balance sportiness with long-distance comfort. The riding position is kind, with a wide handlebar and lower-set foot pegs that make it comfortable for riders of various heights. The adjustable windscreen and semi-fairing design effectively block wind, enhancing the riding experience. While the quickshifter can be a bit clunky at low speeds, the bikes handling and braking capabilities are exceptional, thanks to the well-set-up suspension and Brembo brakes. However, its important to note that the bike is not suited for off-road adventures and has a slightly higher maintenance cost. Overall, the F 900 XR is an excellent choice for those seeking a blend of sportiness, comfort, and style, making it a worthwhile investment despite its premium price tag.

Price

In India, the BMW F 900 XR Pro is priced at approximately 12.55 lakh (ex-showroom). When you factor in the on-road costs, including registration, insurance, and other charges, the price can go up to around 14.5 lakh to 15 lakh, depending on the state and local taxes. For the standard variant, the ex-showroom price is about 10.95 lakh, which translates to an on-road price of around 12.5 lakh to 13.5 lakh. The price difference between the standard and Pro variants mainly accounts for features like cruise control, a bi-directional quickshifter, and an electronically adjustable rear shock. While it is on the higher side, the quality, performance, and features of the F 900 XR justify the cost, making it a unique and valuable proposition in the Indian market.

BMW F 900 XR on road price is Rs 14.45 lakh in Delhi, Rs 14.93 lakh in Mumbai, Rs 14.62 lakh in Kolkata, and Rs 14.81 lakh in Chennai. The prices mentioned here are approximate and we suggest you contact your nearest BMW dealership to get the exact on-road price quote in your city.
