I just took one of these for a test drive. I'm looking for a bike that is stable on the highway (for a 60 mile commute) and this certainly fit the bill. Easily cruises at "flow of traffic" speed, which is 80 to 90 mph in Florida. I drove the Ducati Monster right afterwards and felt speed wobble at 75 mph. 😱
Im considering trading in my duke 790 for the f900xr. But when I spec it out it's the same price as a tuono v4 base or a gsxs1000gt. Dilemas. I'd rather have the refinement of BMW. But better sound and versatility at that price is almost necessary.
i have f900r, i ride also a duke 390, fun, but neutral was hard to find, drive me nuts, rubbish. BMW it's more refined bike. I will sell and looking upgrade to S1000R(R)...Traction control it's amazing feature on F900R, also cruise, quick shifter and heated grips.
The XR versions of these bikes add to the price quite a bit. If you really don't mind not having fairings or wind protection save the money and buy the nakeds. You're definitely paying a premium for the tech and 'the BMW touch'
Beautiful riding man love the content!

Very stable, this bike is the perfect all-rounder. Easy cruiser, can also have fun and rip the local backroads or at the track 👍
The f900r has a steering damper in the front right under the headlight. The regular monster doesn’t come with one unless you get the SP version.
@@keltecdanthe dumper makes a big diference for sure. you can even go hands-free over potholes
