THE BMW F 900 XR MIDDLEWEIGHT sport-tourer was launched in India two years ago, while the F 850 GS has returned to our market in its BS6 avatar. The bikes will be available as completely built-up units (CBU) and deliveries are said to commence in June 2022.
Both bikes have now become even more attractive propositions as BMW Motorrad India are now offering them in Pro trims, which means all of the additional packages will come as standard. For this one-day ride, our morning started with a short ride on tarmac astride the F 900 XR where we covered about 50 kilometres, followed by an exciting afternoon off-roading through some fun trails astride the F 850 GS. Here is our first impression of the new models and, mainly, all the new features on offer.

I have always quite liked the design of the F 900 XR. It gets a nice half fairing and the bright red colour with silver highlights
