F 900 R

BMW's F 900 R packages an 895cc parallel-twin with full-color TFT, cornering ABS, and Dynamic ESA suspension in a 465-lb mid-size naked chassis — more technology standard than any comparable Japanese mid-size naked. BMW dealer service is measurably more expensive than the Japanese alternatives; budget for premium maintenance and confirm a nearby dealer before buying.
