Engine: Identical to the F 900 GS—and That’s No Weakness

105 hp, 93 Nm, 895 cc, 77 kW at 8,500 rpm—identical to the F 900 GS.

It is the same liquid-cooled parallel twin with dry-sump lubrication, revised cylinder heads, forged pistons, two counter-rotating balance shafts, and a 13.1:1 compression ratio.

This is the same engine that impressed us in the F 900 GS test, now installed in a motorcycle with different priorities.

In everyday riding, the identical engine behaves exactly as expected. Because of the additional weight, the Adventure is not quite as lively pulling awayzjuczbvobtdqbyedhkijadwksjgmzxelaikfphyspaldgmajamezwkvkdladmnwwqlnpitgaekreaacsvkkyuxaopc
