BMW is reducing the cost of entering the 2027 F900 R Cup by £500 for riders who buy an F 900 R as full-time competitors. The purchase must be completed before 31 December for the offer to apply. Registrations for the season open on 1 November, giving prospective racers a defined timetable for committing to the series and preparing for the grid.

The F900 R Cup is a one-make support class for the British Superbike Championship, positioned as a relatively affordable route into the BSB paddock. It is open to newcomers as well as experienced racers, with entry based on buying BMW’s 103 bhp F 900 R. Restrictions on modifications limit the scope for technical advantage and, in Davey Todd’s view, help keep the on-track battles close.

Entry requirements

Riders entering the 2027 ROKiT OFF BMW F900 R Cup must hold an ACU Clubman-grade licence. The series has previously drawn competitors from BSB and road racing, including Kyle Ryde and Davey Todd, the Isle of Man TT winner. Todd has described the F 900 R as enjoyable to ride, with strong handling and a comfortable riding position.

Todd spent much of the season injured after a crash at the Daytona 200 in March before making a wildcard appearance at Brands Hatch. He has also made clear that his F 900 R racing will continue beyond that appearance. His assessment is that the class combines low costs with competitive, enjoyable racing, while common technical rules prevent the machinery budget from becoming the main differentiator.
