Updates for 2025 have been announced for the BMW F 900 R roadster and BMW F 900 XR sport-tourer. Changes include ergonomics, suspension, wheels, battery, and rider aids, and some previously optional equipment is now included as standard.
Powering both models is the returning 895cc parallel-Twin, which produces a claimed 105 hp and 686 lb-ft of torque. Both bikes come with standard Rain and Road riding modes, and the optional Dynamic riding mode has been revised for 2025 for a more direct throttle response. Both bikes will now feature standard Dynamic Traction Control, which can be switched off. Both bikes also receive a new battery, which is 1.7 lb lighter than before.

In addition to DTC, the BMW F 900 R and XR will also now come with MSR Engine Drag Torque Control and cornering BMW Motorrad ABS Pro. Dynamic Brake Control, which prevents unintentional acceleration while braking, is also standard for 2025.
Suspension is upgraded on both bikes with a now fully adjustable 43mm inverted telescopic fork. On the R, the new fork provides 5.3 inches of travel, while on the XR travel is 6.7 inches. Adopted from the S 1000 R model, which has already received updates for 2025, are new 17-inch cast-aluminum wheels, which weigh 3.9 lb less than the previous wheels.
The F 900 R roadster gets new ergonomics for 2025. The handlebar is farther forward and the footpegs are farther back, creating a sportier, forward-leaning riding position.
The BMW F 900 XR sport-tourer gets new features as well. It now includes Headlight Pro with an adaptive headlight, as well as a USB-C charging port and heated grips as standard. The windscreen has been redesigned to reduce wind pressure and helmet buffeting.
The 2025 BMW F 900 R will be available in Snapper Rocks Blue Metallic as standard. The 2025 BMW F 900 XR will be available in Racing Red as standard. Both bikes will also be available in optional Style Triple Black or Style Sport.
Pricing has not yet been announced.
