Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW S 1000 XR 2018

The S 1000 XR, with its now 165 hp Supersport power unit combined with the geometry and comfort of a Bigenduro, is one of the fastest motorbikes on the public road. The extensive range of accessories makes it even faster or even more comfortable, as required. However, with a seat height of 840 mm and a long crotch arch, it is only conditionally suitable for smaller riders. The 790 mm high seat, however, remedies this. The brakes are as strong as the engine, the XR convinces with precision and above all stability. Despite the insane performance, you feel well and safe, as you would expect from a BMW.

Power increase

strong brakes and engine

decent standard equipment

extensive accessories

numerous HP Parts available

precise and stable handling.

somewhat wide in the leg area due to 4-cylinder

very wide handlebars

low seat necessary for smaller riders

BMW F 900 R 2020

The BMW F 900 R offers easy-to-use cornering fun, enormously high stability, an active yet comfortable riding position and a smooth but also unemotional engine. Those who like it fast and twisty will be happy with it. The possibilities for configuration are almost endless but of course not free of charge.

easy handling, high stability

chassis with fine response

well-behaved engine

brakes without blame

active yet bearable seating position

infinitely long list of accessories.

Small tank (13l)

Good engine
