1. Design
↑ Comparison photos of two cars' appearance
I have to say that the German brand that is good at design really failed to continue its glory on the streetcar this time. No matter the appearance design of the front or the color matching of the wheel hub, it is not as good as its oriental rival Yamaha MT09. Like many European brothers, the appearance of F900R lacks too bright design. On the other hand, MT09, whether it is the collision between the color matching of cement gray body and bright red wheel hub, or the design of cobra at the front, shows the meaning of breakthrough. Instead of sticking to the rules and stopping.
↑ Which do you like better, comparing the front of two cars?
Compared with the bottom of the car, the appearance and size of the two cars are basically the same, and the outline looks similar. Bmw F900R has a slightly longer wheelbase than MT09.
↑ Compared with the dashboard, BMW F900R inherits all the high-tech 6.5-inch TFT flat panel instruments. In addition to displaying driving information, the instrument also has inclination detection display in the center of the instrument panel, and DTC and brake status display on the left and right sides, so that enthusiastic knights can get more information about their riding. In addition, the dashboard also has Bluetooth and mobile phone connection functions, which can provide functions such as answering phones, music and navigation!
The MT09, on the other hand, has stepped out of the abnormal practical style, which may force obsessive-compulsive disorder, which also reflects the different user groups this car faces. One is the pursuit of scientific sense and the comfortable entertainment experience of a large-displacement streetcar, and the other is a real enthusiast, as long as the unimportant part is enough.
2. Inheritance of historical model
Yamaha MT09 has been upgraded in the past six years since it went on the market on 20 14, including suspension, ECU EFI system, electronic control and appearance. However, in the past six years, the name of the torque master has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the charming voice of the three cylinders has become the most beautiful note buried in the souls of many riders.
↑ Three-cylinder stereo is also the unique selling point of MT09. By the way, Yamaha guitar was given to MT09 when it was pre-sold. What will BMW give in the pre-sale? Drive shaft?
As for the BMW F900R, it is a new model launched this year, which is very cost-effective in the mainland market. The price of the 900895cc large-scale trade vehicle is 1 1 10,000, which can be said to be very cost-effective, while the price of the F900XR station wagon 12 1 10,000 is also very fragrant, but according to foreign media reports, this may be the reason for its low price on the F900R vehicle.

3. Driving posture
When you get on one of these two cars, you will understand that Bavarians and Japanese designers have completely different understandings of tram design.
↑ Generally speaking, the sitting posture of F900R is inclined to the fighting type, and the seat height of 8 15mm can meet the needs of most knights. Of course, there may be a choice of low seat height (770mm) and high seat height (860mm) in China to meet the needs of more knights. The seats in the car are very narrow, so the average driver can easily touch the ground. The height of the seat is not a big problem, and the position of the pedal is high. Coupled with the posture of the upper body leaning forward, it is more combative and will be a little tired after driving for a long time.
However, MT09' s sitting posture tends to be comfortable, which is precisely called comfortable exercise. The sitting height is 820mm, the pedal position is lower than that of F900R, and the leg posture is more relaxed and comfortable than that.
The seats are also obviously different. BMW uses thin and strong foam, while Yamaha uses relatively comfortable seats.
4. Engine power
The new F900R is equipped with a new parallel twin-cylinder engine, and the displacement is increased to 895cc. The output horsepower and torque are further improved. The maximum horsepower of 105hp can be output at 8500 rpm, and sufficient torque of 92Nm can be provided at 6500 rpm. The engine adopts crankshaft double reverse balance shaft, which effectively reduces engine vibration!
The emission interval of F 900 R is 270/450 degrees, offset by 90 degrees, which is more attractive than the previous generation, and the sound waves are also better.
Speed up quickly, get started quickly, just like all BMW products now, follow the easy-to-use and friendly man-machine experience design, excellent chassis adjustment, riding triangle with fighting, running mountain bends and arranging!
↑ The CP3 847cc cross crankshaft three-cylinder engine equipped with ↑MT09 is recognized as an excellent engine in the industry. We don't know who is better than the three-cylinder engine on the Triumph Tiger 900ADV. Excellent engine brings excellent street fighter, MT09. It is said that its pre-sale in China is very popular.
If BMW's engine is balanced and easy to control, then MT09' s CP3 engine is fierce and evil and difficult to control. He needs a good knight to play its full role.
The maximum power of MT09 is 84.6kW at 10000 rpm, and the maximum torque is 87.4N.m at 8500 rpm. The low voice of a three-cylinder engine at low speed is very charming. At low speed, it may lose to F900R, but at medium and high speed, F900R is no match for it.
The clutch tension of both cars is very light, among which MT09 is equipped with sliding clutch and two-way quick release, and the configuration of F900R is not clear for the time being. The clutch range of MT-09 is narrower and more delicate. Similarly, the gearbox of MT09 is not so precise, while the F900R will make a tight and accurate shift every time it shifts gears.
5. Electronic control configuration
Electronic control is a traditional advantage project of BMW motorcycles, but MT09 is also sincere and fully sufficient. The new F900R is equipped with rider mode Pro? ABS Pro advanced braking system, DTC tracking control system, ASC body dynamic stability system, MSR engine braking control system, LED light group and TFT full-color instrument. Headlights can also be equipped with headlight Pro kit to provide auxiliary lighting function for corners!
In addition, you can also choose comfort bag to get keyless and heating handle, or dynamic bag to get ESA electronic rear shock absorber and headlight intelligent steering headlight!
In short, these configurations are very BMW.
Many operations of BMW motorcycles can be realized through this small turntable.
As for MT09, three power modes, namely, two-way quick exhaust, sliding clutch, TCS tracking and anti-skid, and electronic throttle, are not as good as BMW, but they are completely sufficient.
Control experience
The advantage of F900R lies in its frame, and its handling experience is balanced and stable. The long wheelbase of 15 18mm brings excellent stability, while the wheelbase of MT09 is quite general, which is 1440mm, making it more flexible to control, but also easier to overturn.
BMW's shock absorption feels a little hard, like the experience on the track, but its grip is excellent. On the other hand, MT09' s fully adjustable KYB of 4 1mm can easily filter out all bumps in the city.
MT09' s shock absorber sacrificed some of its mobility for comfort. As long as you don't plan to run the track in depth, you are still very competent under most highway conditions. The F900R wants to change the driving experience with shock absorbers, only by installing electronic shock absorbers. ESA electronic rear shock absorber can be installed, and the rear suspension settings can be quickly adjusted by the switch on the handlebar.
7. Brake system
The front brake part of F900R streetcar is equipped with double 320mm radial four-piston calipers with Brembo and ABS brake system, and the rear brake part is equipped with 265mm single-disc one-way single-piston calipers with Brembo.
Yamaha MT-09 is equipped with dual radial mounted 4-piston brake calipers and 298mm disc brake discs. The axial brake master cylinder has a good hand feel and full braking force, and can be used for sports riding. Yamaha did save some money by using rubber brake lines instead of steel wire weaving brake lines.
