Pros and Cons in comparison
BMW R nineT Urban G/S 2018
As one of 5 different R nineTs, the Urban G/S is also a successful variation of the air-cooled boxer, which, as in the other models, produces 110 hp and leaves nothing to be desired in terms of more power. The brakes are also on the same high level as those of the original R nineT, only the chassis has to make concessions. ABS comes as standard, ASC at extra cost. You don't need much more to be happy. The only thing we wouldn't want to do without are the wire-spoke rims, because together with the TKC80 they complete the look.
Yamaha XSR900 Abarth 2017
Basically, it hardly matters whether I think the Yamaha XSR900 Abarth is good or bad - the first 95 of the 695 units worldwide were sold out within 20 minutes. So there's no need to worry about the remaining 600. Nevertheless, it should be mentioned that the Abarth version looks enormously good with the carbon fairings front and rear, the Akrapovic exhaust and the suede saddle. The low handlebars are not as comfortable as the conventional XSR900, but fit perfectly with this stylish appearance. The engine, chassis and brakes work just like on the normal XSR900 - in other words, extremely sporty and wonderfully rideable.
