2023 BMW F900 XR Changes
Starting with the main changes, the F900 will now be offered with two new colour options. The first one is a blue theme called Racing Blue Metallic. This is a dual-tone shade as the alloy wheels are painted matt-black to match the contrasts. Additionally, it comes with a standard engine sump guard.
The second shade is a murdered-out all-black pain job. This is called Triple Black. This paint scheme offers a complete blacked-out look. The engine components, the alloy wheels, to every other element are painted either in metallic or matt black shade.
That's it. There are no other changes to the newest iteration of the bike. Only the addition of the new colours will do, as per the BMW. Well, one need not to be worried as the competent setup of engine & chassis is already enough for the competition.
Engine & Specifications
BMW has not fiddled with the 895cc, parallel-twin, BS6 compliant engine. This is a good thing because it already generates 103.2 hp of peak power and 92 Nm of peak torque. With the various riding modes available on hand, this power is enough for this mammoth of a bike.
On the feature front, the rider aids like full-LED lighting, 6.5-inch Bluetooth-equipped TFT instrument cluster, engine brake control, adjustable USD forks, adaptive cornering lights, and keyless ride make up for the rivals.

India Launch, Price, & Rivals
BMW already enjoys a strong value in the Indian premium bike market. The abilities of the F900 are appreciated by the existing owners as well as the potential buyers. The 2023 update will also lure the buyers looking for different colour options.
For now, it is introduced in global markets; but we expect the Indian debut sometime around later this year. The pricing will more or less remain the same i.e. in the range of Rs 12 lakh. Rivals include - Suzuki Katana & Kawasaki Ninja 1000.
