2020 BMW F 900 XR Review | MC Commute
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 бер 2020
- BMW’s liter-class-sized S 1000 XR was a home run hit when it debuted five years ago. The German bike brand wants to capitalize on the success by introducing a smaller and more manageable version in the 2020 BMW F 900 XR (starting at $11,695). Positioned alongside the F 900 R naked bike, which we recently test rode during the 2020 BMW F 900 R Review First Ride, the Bavarian brand is keen on giving middleweight adventure-sport riders something to lean on.
--
2020 BMW F 900 XR Vs. F 900 R
The XR shares the basic underpinnings of the R model, including its punched-out 895cc parallel twin (based off the powerplant inside the F 850 GS) and shell-type alloy frame and swingarm. However the XR benefits from longer-travel suspension, more upright and relaxed riding ergonomics, and a touring-friendly front fairing with manual two-way-adjustable windscreen.
These differences increase the roadworthiness of the XR, making it a highly suitable mount for riders looking to cover ground. The engine drinks from a larger-capacity 4.1-gallon fuel tank, now positioned above the engine (as opposed to the outgoing F 800’s beneath the tailsection setup). During fast-paced riding we recorded fuel mileage of 32 mpg. However, riding at a more sane pace delivers around 38 mpg. While we appreciate the XR’s added capacity, we still wish it carried more fuel.
2020 BMW F 900 XR Riding Experience
Twist the throttle and this compact twin impresses with its punchy power delivery and refined character. Like other modern parallel twins (aka the Austrian brand’s LC8c mill) the Motorrad engine employs an uneven firing order designed to emulate the shake, rattle, and roll of a V-twin. In fact, engineers did such a marvelous job-you’d be hard-pressed to tell that the engine isn’t a V-twin from behind the handlebar. The XR grunts off the line and delivers a playful note that begs for hard riding antics. The gearbox meshes between each of its six cogs with absolute precision and we adore the feel and properly weighted cable pull of the clutch. For riders seeking an even slicker shifting setup, BMW offers its Gear Shift Pro (electronic quickshifter) as an option.
Ripe with adjustment, every control surface of the BMW can be tweaked based on rider preference. Motorrad also offers a variety of seat height and density options for a custom fit. Height-challenged riders can also purchase a suspension lowering kit straight from the factory. Speaking of suspension, the Showa-sourced fork is one of the better nonadjustable front suspension components we’ve ridden on lately and the linkage-less rear shock offers a handy remote-preload adjustment knob which makes for easy ride height tweaks.
Despite its hefty claimed 483-pound curb weight, the XR impresses with its above-average agility and comfort over bumpy surfaces. The OE-fitted Michelin Road 5 GT tires are a tad more squishy feeling as compared to the F 900 R’s awesome Bridgestone Battlax S21 shoes, but it’s a small gripe.
Electronics-wise the XR employs a huge 6.5-inch color TFT dash display. Loaded with features, this screen offers crisp and BMW-standardized fonts that can easily be read day or night. Instead of touchscreen functionality, the rider uses BMW’s proprietary handlebar-mounted multi-wheel control to manipulate settings. Additionally the rider can pair the motorcycle to their smartphone using BMW’s free BMW Motorrad Connected app. The easy-to-use app allows for turn-by-turn navigation and other handy settings like remaining fuel range.
Our 2020 XR was outfitted with BMW’s optional Ride Modes Pro option ($350) which unlocks Dynamic and Dynamic Pro riding modes. These settings complement the standard Rain and Road global settings that control engine response, ABS, and ASC, facilitating more intimate engine response, and IMU-powered ASC (automatic stability control) and ABS. We were hard-pressed to feel a difference between either dynamic setting, but we were pleased with the intuitive calibration of both settings that reward hard-charging riding. Riders can also manually disable ASC, however contrary to BMW’s other motorcycles ABS is fixed.
If you’re seeking a versatile do-it-all-style streetbike, BMW makes a hard case for its 2020 F 900 XR. Equal parts fun, comfort, and functionality, this Beemer is the type of streetbike that can fulfill multiple roles. However, for a $2,700 premium is it that much better than its awesome F 900 R sibling? If a full front fairing and a more upright riding position are your cup of tea, you’ll be happy with this Berlin-built middleweight.

High compliment indeed if you really like this motorcycle! Great review Adam, love the way you are able to ride so well and casually talk about all they key details and not miss a beat! Truly amazing!
Pulling up next to that vintage 2002 Bimmer at the stoplight at 6:02, priceless. Thanks for a great video! I'm looking forward to purchasing one as a replacement to my R1200RT.
Saw the same thing..... I guess those are a dime a dozen where Adam lives cuz he didn't even comment on it.
I appreciate the review it had more useful information than any of the other reviews I have seen. Looks is a personal taste thing but I think it looks very good for a sport touring bike.
Loved the wheelie test, vital part of any bike test!
I really really like this motorcycle. I love how it has some design cues from the BMW GS line of motorcycles while also pulling some aspects of their sportbikes.
Thanks for constantly putting out content during this time! Especially for people like me who are sitting around waiting on bike parts to come in and all deliveries are delayed bc of this shit..
Bystander: "why is that guy talking and gesturing to his motorcycle?"
I fitted my previous bike, Ninja 650 with the same Michelin tires this XR comes stock with and I gotta say, I’ve never felt more confidence riding in adverse conditions, sometimes in the middle of a downpour! Obviously you still have to engage the throttle carefully over painted lines, but considering the Ninja had no electronic rider safety aides yet felt secure enough on my bike to commute daily on, ya, for touring purposes, I 100% recommend them. Awesome BMW fits them on as standard 👌
I really enjoy your videos, Adam! You speak clearly, intelligently and casually - yet, you are efficient with your words. You speak about motorcycles in a way I relate to as a rider with 54K miles on my '16 F 700 GS. I find the F 900 XR especially attractive. Thank you.
I want a set of road wheels/ wider tyres set up for my f800gs i think the f900xr would have been what I needed
You always tell us the gear you're wearing but don't show us or comment. Maybe add that to your reviews? Really enjoy your videos.
Love these commutes.
Thank you for providing this content while we are in "self isolation". I appreciate that!
Isn't a motorcycle a form of self-isolation and /or social distancing?
Legend has it, Adam Waheed was born with helmet hair.
What I appreciate the most watching your videos is how California law allows for lane-splitting. Living in Florida is very difficult to enjoy riding a motorcycle, as it was designed to perform. We roast on traffic lights during the summer days and are always at risk of being rear-ended by idiots looking at their phones. What amazes me even more, is how some people in the motorcycle community are against lane-splitting. Travel a little will ya? It's time lane-splitting legislation went national. After riding motorcycles for over forty-five years, in a few different countries, this remains my number one "SMFH" item regarding motorcycle riding in the USA. Thank you for the great review and thank you for letting us know how we could potentially accelerate legislation in that regard. Way to go Utah, for signing lane-splitting into legislation.
Split even it's not allowed. Stupid law made to be broken
Utah surprisingly made a good start but hobbled it by only allowing "filtering" on roads under 55 mph, even if gridlocked. Only useful on city streets... but it's a start.
@John R Borges HI John, I agree. That's why legislation is so important. That person "opening their door" at lane-splitters would have to think twice about it, if it was law. It would suck to be charged with Attempted Homicide due to being a hateful person, or simply an asshole. By the way, SMFH means "shaking my freaking head."
@@FxRiderST Well, Felix, I wish it was that simple. But as John R Borges pointed out on this thread, we are in Florida. Here, we ride in a continuous state of defensiveness (as everyone should), but what sets us apart is that you never know when you may be attacked by a driver. I really mean that, attacked. IMHO (in my humble opinion) the volatility and surprise element of the Florida Man, makes him/her the most dangerous of all inhabitants, making alligators and deadly snakes the least of our problems. Sometimes, you may not be aware at all that you just pissed someone off in traffic and before you know, there's a guy talking funny and waving a gun on your face from the back-seat of his dad/friend/uncles' beat-up truck. It's sad, really. Still, if lane-splitting was allowed by law, I wouldn't be breaking it, and I would prefer it that way. Those hateful people wouldn't see me coming or going. Happy riding!
John R Borges - Shake My F’ing Head.
Love your bikes and knowledge/experience. Contrasting with similar bikes with reviews helps also. Love history of bikes also.
What a fantastic review I very much appreciate your opinion and thoughts on this motorcycle
Solid review!
I miss this guy on 3rd Rock from the Sun.
I had 48 mpg, but I was riding along with a slow friend, who is new to the bikes, imagine it would be in low 40's if I started wailing. Can't imagine how hard you gotta push this bike to have it give you 33 mpg, Adam is a maniac lol
Nice bike, good review.
Just bought a new 2019 Yamaha Tracer 900 for only $9200. With only $200 dealer fee. It's a hell of a bike. Sweet triple engine from the MT09. Seems like a way better value for your money. $11700 and $500 destination charge for this...I'd pass.
Hi Adam, great review yet again, thank you. I would really like to know which way you would go if you had to choose between this and a Ducati Multistrada 950 and why? Thank you.
Both are excellent adventure tourer. But, I would prefer multistrada 950 over F 900 XR.
I like this MC Commute review so much better than the one by Anthony Lewis in New York on the same bike. Maybe it’s because Adam is mellow and isn’t running bicycles off the road!😘.
Thanks for making it about the bike and not the rider.😎
Good job Adam! How’s the ground clearance when leaning over?
Uploaded 14 minutes ago and already a dislike... even the haters got notifications turned on.
obviously
Some pathetic life out there
F9XRay what can you do? Haters gonna hate...it’s what they do.
Is riding behavior is truly a turn off. Constantly taking unnecessary risk and distracting from a review, which he generally did a pretty good job on!
Sorry guys, no hate involved whatsoever. After riding for 30 years and seeing what I have, I do understand risk and when to take it and when not. Judgment and wisdom take time if one can figure it out and know the difference. There are times to take risk, but certainly not during a motorcycle review because that's risky riding is a turn off. Not to say unnecessarily dangerous for the rider. Does anyone have a friend killed on a motorcycle? If you do, then you'll understand.
I swear you guys live the dream. I guessing you'd pass on warehouse box tossing for a living. Thanks for keeping your channel kid friendly 😉.
If you had a dirtbike to get the offroad kicks in, would you choose a non-R spec KTM 790 or BMW F900XR for street/commuting/leisure fun? Thanks
Do these 900cc twins have the same dip in torque curve as the stock S1000RR in the lower gears or is the fuel mapping 100% legit?
"Look at that idiot"
hahahaha I can feel that
Passing at an intersection and passing on the right is illegal in most places. Easy way to get killed.
gone rydin I think he was focused on other things and was not expecting a stopped vehicle in his lane...did not look like an intentional move.
@@Russell_and_Rosko So add "distracted driving", which is also illegal.
I may be a biker but that was a classic biker comment... always someone else’s fault 😀
Pair it with your IPhone because Tim Cook needs to know how fast you're going. hahaha
I don't like the small tank, but what annoys me more is that the other options like heated grips, cruise are options in 2x separate packs I have to pay another 1K more to get.
You don't have to buy packs, you can buy each option individually.
BMW’s are not a poor mans machine by an stretch, buy a used Japanese bike if you are on a budget.
correct me if i'm wrong, but the bike may be 'assembled' in Germany, but the engine is still a chinese built Loncin branded engine.
correct
He really should have mentioned that. I’m sure most BMW salespeople forget to mention it too.
Which includes the F 750 GS, F 850 GS and the two 400cc scooters. Sceptical at first but they do produce good engine tho.
Asians are proficient and friendly to work with. I've driven Japanese cars, ridden Japanese motorcycles and operated Japanese and Chinese machining centers my whole life. My wife works with Chinese manufacturers via internet. Only thing bad about the vast majority of Asians are our judgments of them.
An oversized KEEMKOOOW
I like the bike, but I would go with the Yamaha 900 Tracer GT
How come? Just wondering
Axell Hernandez well for starters, it has half the range of the tracer 900.
I really think BMW missed the boat on this bike, for being an all new bike the engine is pretty lacklustre. It performs worse than the already decade old husqvarna nuda 900r which shares pretty much the same engine.
J0n p3r3s for the sake of reliability I would look at BMW for the kind of bike I’d want and then buy anything else for half the price twice the quality
@@axellness The Yamaha Tracer carried me 12.200 miles in six weeks without a single hiccup. Florida Alaska and back on a road littered with BMW GS... range 200 miles all day every day however not much more than that.
Yeah, I love my Tracer too
Great informative review again, can I ask what gives you’re wearing as they look super comfortable
gloves are listed at the bottom of the review: www.motorcyclistonline.com/story/reviews/2020-bmw-f-900-xr-review-mc-commute/
Motorcyclist Magazine ah great 👍🏻 thanks for that
I've tested the Tiger 900 didn't like the fit, sat on, rather in. Engine sounds fab. Perfect bike would be bigger tank and tiger engine in BMW
This 900 or a used 1000 XR was on my short list but I am going with a 2020 kawi ninja 1000sx, it has cruse control now and dealer quoted me 15k with matching paint side panniers. Talk about More fun and can get through a few states easy. Looking into lowering foot pegs, bigger windshield and that is it. Way better than tracer IMO. 140 HP ish.
My dream one
Compared with Yamaha Tracer 900 GT, which one is better for average users with few years riding experience? Appreciate if you can do a group test (F900XR, Tracer 900 GT and Tiger 900 Pro GT). You could help me on this for I am seriously to get one of these middleweight sport touring bikes whatever some may argue they are in different type group of motorcycle.
I find the XR more comfortable than the R, and not really any less sporty. The choice between them is just preference. Not sure what you’re getting at with the tires. The Road 5 is a fantastic sport touring tire, the S21 is a true sport tire and not directly comparable. Neither is better or worse. There is also a Bridgestone T series offered on the XR, seems to be a 50/50 split between it and the Michelin. Not sure if the R offers a second tire option. Anyway, it was obvious you liked the R more, but to me the XR is like if BMW made a Versys 650 and that’s a big compliment.
You will like the RnineT Pure, based on price, handling, tons of character and torque from the boxer engine. Also, maybe ask BMW to have the F900r, the one you would buy, for a year or so as a long term tester?
Isn't it rated as 105hp in EU? Is it the charcoal canister that brings that down in the US? The Dyno figures I've seen has it producing 100 at the rear wheel.
1:22 - *Final assembly is in Berlin Germany, engine is built in Chongqing, China.
Engine will be better engineered then
@@Greggspies What does the manufacturing location have to do with the engineering?
@@PMitchell106 some people don't want to support communist china otherwise I'd have bought this.
@@yetivanmarshall1473 That's cool! Always good to make an informed consumer decision. 👍🏻 What device did you use to type your comment, by the way?
@@PMitchell106 everything - China is at war with the US (most of the world) and Chinese goods should be avoided
This or s ktm 790 adventure s? Around the same price, slightly different approaches. Which is better as a long term investment?
I would like to see you ride/review the 2020 Super Duke GT
I very much so also like the screen.
love the motorcycle. .
I think this bike compares well to the V-strom 1000. Same power, weight and even cost. But, it's a BMW, and has a more up to date spec. When I trade in my DL1000XT, it's more likely to be for this bike than the 2020 v-Strom.
ALSO, i like the green BMW 2002 which you stop next to it.
At 18:47 actually, with the dynamic pro mode it is possible to config ABS to allow rear wheel lock for off road ;)
I was getting excited until I heard it goes 1/2 the distance of a Guzzi V85 or V7 and tracer 900 or 900 tiger. Are they nuts?
Steven Nicholas yeah, bummer
Reckon that will be addressed 2021
Are you referring too tank size ?
Thanks, great video!
You said a couple of times "This bike is assembled in Berlin, Germany" and that's right.
What you forgot to say is "but the motor is assembled by Loncin in China" :(
But anyway, I really like this bike!
I see, where is the engine designed?
A dealer in my town is selling this bike, 2020, 1 mile, for $8200
Seems like a steal
Hey any chance you could take F900R for a commute ride?
A walk around before taking it for a ride will be appreciated :)
I am looking forward to a test ride on the F900Xr, but when doing a review, a comparison with other bikes in the segment / genre instead of it's baby bro, the r is more real world. Of course, you're a young man and commuting on the R would likely be a real hoot. Touring chops, comfort and pillion capability is real value added element...especially if you can only own one machine. The add on extra$ is typical BMW. Want everything included? The Yamaha Tracer 900 GT is a fine machine and probably is cheaper and cheaper to work on, but not necessary a bike that would likely hold its value / re-sale value as long as a BMW..
I hope the cam chain lasts longer than 60000 miles. $4000 repair in my F800 GS. BMW NA customer service sucks. Been a BMW customer for 25 years. No more.
Ouch. This bike comes close to being the holy grail for this segment. So you're saying my only option is Italian Multistrada or German F 900 XR? It's like choosing different colors of poison.
@@drewmorg. What about a Tracer 900 or Triumph Tiger 900.
I would think another f800gs engine could be picked up for not much $'s and the 800 engine was a ROTAX from Austria and the new engine is built in China don't think they have much in common
TESTING! Love it! Love the way you ride. Watching you ride makes me feel alive. Was jonesin' for some MC Commute. Split those lanes like you're ditching a girlfriend! Thanks for the video, Adam. Whoa! Watch out for the idiots! Good job, buddy. Hey, what about the Kawi Z H2? I know I won't shut up about it broken record style, but...Oh, and be careful about all that corona fearus out there.
Nice man - this was a great comment. You're the winner for sure.
soo... totally unrelated question. i got a scooter for my daily commute and the tires are fairly new, hard compound. now i pumped the tires so it barely deforms when i sit on the bike, and i noticed that now it quickly leans into corners compared to when the tires were softer. 80/90 14" on the front and 90/90 14" on the rears. am i doing this right or do i just reduce pressure again?
adjust the tire pressure to what your motorcycle manufacturer recommends first. The numbers should be on a sticker somewhere on the scooter or located in the owner's manual.
@@MotorcyclistMag wooah, didn't see this reply coming lmao. So, the tires are now on the recommended pressure, i guess that leaves the profile of the tires, since the contact area is rounded. The responses i got from a motorcycle forum suggested that i deflate the tires, but i think that is counter intuitive as it increases rolling resistance, and the fact that i chose this scooter as it is very fuel efficient. From one of your videos, my understanding is that flatter tires are "slower" to lean and doesn't lean much but is smoother, while a round tire profile facilitates quick transition into a lean and the bike wants to hold that lean. I don't mind the "heaviness" of the bike when it transitions to an upright position since the bike itself is light at 100kg. Did i get that right? It just seems odd that such a small, unsporty scooter with a tiny engine is very agile😅
wow someone is actually on the bench
any chance on your vids you can add service costs via a dealer . I.E first service to Major at what miles / kms due
Hi David, this is a good idea. Thanks for the feedback.
Love your reviews Adam!
Mileage is the killer on this Bike, Great commuter bike, but not worth touring. 1989 Boxer R100RT (naked), fully loaded goes 232 miles with a 5.8 gallon tank. No upgrade for me.
Windscreen adjustment handle and sound of the bike is the only items that bmw need to relook at
is it legal to sweet trhu traffic like that? i don't know if its allowed where i live but im mostly concert if it's save. like do people see you of do you scare them etc.
Axel Vermeij in California it is!
Legal in all of Australia too 😁👍
Do you guys feel safe riding like that? It should be kinda legal here in the Netherlands. But I always doubt if I should squeeze myself between.
33mpg, how on earth did you manage that....? Also why did this not ring any alarms with you guys that this bike manages the same economy as a MT10?
Would this make a good beginner bike
What part of Cali is this? Also this is the first video I’ve seen where you didn’t have to stop at that first light lol.
Pmason718 ... So Cal...orange county
yeah is it Newport Beach or where? looks beautiful.
@Adam: This one or the new Tiger 900?
I was this or the Tracer GT, but the Tiger is great one to add to the list... Or make an outstanding comparison test!
I've owned a F900R and I love every bit of it. But most of the reviews I saw say the engine is boring and doesn't have the character. I am not an expert but I really like the engine and sounds. What do you have to say about it? Most of the people or critics felt bored because different modes it has and didn't really test in Dynamic Mode? Is this engine made in China?
Still waiting on the KTM 390 Adventure commute 😬
Did BMW reduce the warranty period from 3 years to 2 years as stated in the video?
In the UK it's been increased from 2 years to 3 years
But will the new Tracer 9 GT be a better bike....??
This is just like watching a review on a German car.
Optional, optional, optional, optional.
Maybe they the should make a complete motorcycle from the start.
Not an optional one.
Great idea. And if you want to pay less you could ask them to remove items.
As opposed to Japanese bike which has zero options and always seem to leave important items out in order to be a little cheaper.
@@drewmorg.
What important part, because most modern Japanese motorcycle have electronics and everything to compete.
@@ajinkyathorat7502 The fact that every bike on the market doesn't have built in cruise control and quick shifter just kind of tells you how cheap the bike manuf. are. KTM is putting these features on $5000 bikes and not only that but they are known to be one of the best in the industry! But hey, KTM's do blow up and are unreliable so maybe that's why lol
I'd assume your height is around 175?
A friend of mine says Bridgestone tyres are a death trap
and... we dont get an adjustable front fork..
This or Tracer GT?
The stock bike is so basic that you quickly want to buy the upgrades and then it will get expensive. Its a sham that this supposed to be a cheap bike. Its too much for a p-twin.
Exactly! Once this bike is properly kitted out for touring, as I would want it, I'm probably looking at well over $15k!
Yup that’s bmw
Multistrada 950
That display alone is worth $1k over anything else fool. Go buy a “cheap bike” and you have 0 resale in a few years. Used BMWs command a premium because they are not cheaply made.
@@Porsche996driver this bike is aimed at the cheaper spectrum of the market and is made in Thailand. So what do you mean exactly?
Still would rather have the 950 multi
I think the screen is very similar to Honda X-ADV. its almost the exact same screen.
This machine is more than capable of high 30's mpg. It's a very frugal engine but should still come equipped with a bigger fuel tank. I believe it's a 105 hp engine not 99 as you mentioned.
What was it at 9:46?
900cc became a middle weight... What strange world we live in.
It's just marketing. While actually it's 895cm³, the inline twin engine is also the same as the F750/F850 GS which categorised as "middleweight."
Nice bike, is lane-splitting legal there?
yes, lane splitting is legal in California.
that colour and XR decal baffle me. I properly don't get that.
I'm confused between the BMW F900XR, Tiger 900 GT and the Yamaha tracer 900 gt.
Oof.
Tracer doesn't have an imu
@@rayb5394 though tracer is priced well under the other two
@@mindwalkerpod Marginally though.
Where i live, Tracer GT is 13,400 euros. (With luggage) Tiger GT is 12900 euros.
At the end of accessories they might have 500~ euros difference
@@kalyanpm6803 Here in the USA the starting price for the Tiger 900 GT is $14.000 usd vs $12,999 for the Tracer 900 GT. When I was shopping for new bike a couple of years ago I looked at both the FJ900 and the Tiger 800 I was more concerned about the service costs for the Tiger. The service interval for the valve check is 12000 miles for the Tiger and 24000 miles for the Tracer. The dealer quoted around $900 for the Tiger and $600 for the yamaha. So over time the maintenance cost for the tiger will add up.
I have a Tiger 800 XRt (2019) and it was a choice between it and the Tracer 900 GT. Test drove them both the same day and after that there was nothing that could make me choose the Tracer. The tiger is so much more fun and nicer to drive I think. From the tests I have seen, the new 900 GT is even better but I would not change my Tiger anyway because I love the engine as it is and I have all the bells and whistles I need.
Aerostitch. Thumbs up.
Nice looking bike. Can't say like the sound of the engine though. Sounds kind of like a scooter. Maybe it's just the mic on the camera.
0-65 mile from 7:03 to 7:07, pretty good for this category.
it looks so slow on camera i thought it was km/h. Is it because he's upright so the camera's a bit higher?
Rattles like it has a dry clutch tho
Anyone else notice that “middle weight” motorcycles keep getting bigger? I was under the impression that 600 class bikes were middle weight, and 750-900cc were outlier sizes or “cheater”. But I guess I’m mistaken?
Patrick Callahan ...the way I understand it is because more bikes are increasing 180 -200hp..750-900 are now considered middle weight
B E R L I N G E R M A N Y
Chinese engine
11:12 is Waheed feeling dangerous today? What was that?
I haven’t heard anything bad about them, but my understanding is the engine it is made in China
So is an iPhone and it’s the highest quality mass produced item in history. 🤷♂️ I’ve had no problem with mine so far. Fingers crossed.
Speedometer unit is mph or kmph?
Michelin Road 5's are the absolute best tyre I've ever used. But everyone has their own preference I guess...
i wanted to get them but my stupid bike I can only get the 3's
6:04 BMW 2000tii!
I was like "Why the hell did not he mentioned this oldcshool BMW as he is featuring a BMW bike"
Looks like tiger sport 1050
No offense but why tell us you're wearing something and not show us?
Throw bags on it and compare it to a Yamaha Tracer 900GT...
Great review, lovely looking bike. BUT, that engine 😬
