Pros and Cons in comparison
BMW F 900 XR 2021
A motorbike in this performance class probably cannot be more accessible. The XR wobbles playfully through the radii and immediately inspires confidence in the saddle. Even long tours are easy and you are always relaxed when getting out of the saddle. However, the sporty look of the BMW also awakens desires for a little thrill. However, the power unit cannot quite fulfil these desires. The engine, transmission and quickshifter are a little too tame overall and could do with a little more sportiness.
Ducati SuperSport 950 S 2021
Despite its sportiness, Ducati's redesigned and equipped Supersport 950 /S offers a good degree of suitability for everyday use and sufficient power for the country road or occasional trackdays. If you want to remedy the last remaining shortcoming, the throttle response in the lower rev range, which is characterised by load changes, you could consider changing the secondary gear ratio from 15/43 to 14/43. The one-tooth smaller drive pinion costs only a few euros, improves throttle response at low revs and also keeps handlebar and mirror vibrations within acceptable limits.
