Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW F 900 XR 2022

A bike in this performance class probably couldn't be more accessible. The XR waggles playfully through the bends and immediately inspires confidence in the saddle. Even lengthy touring is easy and you always get out of the saddle feeling relaxed. However, the sporty look of the BMW also awakens a desire for some thrills. However, the engine cannot quite fulfil this desire. The engine, transmission and quickshifter are a little too tame overall and could do with a little more sportiness.

Clean engine reponsiveness

very easy to ride bike

cool looks, great display

good brakes

light handling

stable riding feel

great connectivity

high maximum lean angle

well-tuned ABS

easy to manoeuvre

reliable and practical Advanced Rider Assistance Systems such as lean angle ABS

moderate seat height and slim design for universal comfort

good value for money.

somewhat doughy transmission with tough quickshifter

Husqvarna Norden 901 2023

On the one hand, the Husqvarna Norden 901 with its lavish standard equipment is a very suitable bike for travelling, but on the other hand, with its lengthy travel, lively engine and active ergonomics, it does not shy away from adventures. The low centre of gravity is ingenious thanks to the low tank, which makes life on and off the beaten track easy.

Great engine with high practicality

Great engine reponsiveness

Linear torque curve

Hardly any vibrations in the saddle

High-quality electronics package

Height of travelling comfort

Stable, sporty suspension

Accessible yet exciting character

Good wind and weather protection for the lower half of the body

Tough as nails

Unpleasant heat development in the calf area at low speeds

Unsteady engine running after a cold start

Engine dies off quite easily due to low flywheel mass

Due to the width of the seat, the bike is quite high even with lengthy legs

Poor wind protection and turbulence on the helmet and upper body

Rear brake is difficult to modulate
