I actually use it as a commuter bike as well as long distance rides, half hour 45 minutes in traffic not a problem it’s super comfortable but to your point, it’s way more fun on the twisties
I am riding the new 1300 GS now and love the suspension on that though it can be a little too eager on the rebound. My ideal daily would have the engine and handling of the XR and the comfort of the GS. Very demanding I know.
I think this is the best motorcycle ever made
I haven’t had the time to check it yet (cornering lights), but I checked the specs and it works fantastically…

Far from being a comfortable bike, you dreaming, but possibly more comfortable than a pure sports bike.
It may be the greatest BMW ever when the XR finally gains shaft drive 🤷🏻♂️
The seat was a deal breaker for me
they updated it for 2024+
