Pros and Cons in comparison

Yamaha XSR900 2016

The XSR900 combines the performance of a sporty streetfighter with the look of a pleasing, cleanly finished retro naked bike. In doing so, the Japanese make use of their own history, which can be found bundled and without gaps in the archive of the design agency that has been working for Yamaha for 60 years. It adopts the virtues of the MT-09 and has mended some of its weaknesses. It rides more harmoniously, more controlled and, if desired, more relaxed. Only the comfort, and thus the rider, suffers from the tight chassis on bad roads. You have to be a little bit sensitive when it comes to a neo-classic.

Greedy engine

well-tuned riding modes

ABS and TC as standard

authentic modern design

clean workmanship

hard chassis

seat should be more comfortable

speedblock design already on many other models

BMW S 1000 R 2019

The BMW S 1000 R impresses across the board and is much more than just a naked version of the S 1000 RR. With its own character, more torque in the mid-range and first-class electronics, it sets new standards in the high-performance Naked segment. The overall package of brutal performance, excellent suspension and practical everyday use makes it one of the best naked bikes ever - and at a surprisingly fair price.

Brutal performance with 160 Horsepower

Outstanding DDC suspension

Amazing stability at high speeds for a naked bike

Perfect electronics with sensitive DTC

Good price/performance ratio

Character despite perfection

Driving mode display font too small

Too extreme appearance for BMW traditionalists

Without equipment packages, important electronic features are missing

The price advantage is lost with full features
