15:00 Haha ... Nice trip and video! I have a 2004 Honda Hornet 600, 71kw, and looking for my next motorbike and I really like the new F900 XR. With all specs maxed out in configuration is around 4-5K Euros cheaper than new F900 GS Adventure. I would like to buy one of those in near future. Are you satisfied with F900 XR ? Do you have adaptive cornering lights, if so, does it work good at night? And high beam distance and width range is sufficient? Considering ~15 liters of fuel tank capacity, can you do in efficient drive total range 270-300 kilometers per one tank?
Yes, I'm really satisfied with the F900XR. I bought it because of its 17" front rim. It's really a corner rocket which you can tour with. I wouldn't take it off-road though... LED headlights are great, corner lighting also. I didn't have a bike before with such good lighting, but if you fancy more light, BMW supplies auxiliary lighting kits. When fully topped off, the displayed range is about 330 km. I've driven 1550 km on this trip, with an average of 4.6 liters per 100 km. That includes really fast driving...
Thanks for replying. I checked the optional kit and other stuff and looks like you can customize it even more, also with auxiliary lighting kit what you have mention as this was not part of configurator. Glad that lights are good, I would expect that but good to know that from your experience. This range and consumption is good then for only 15L of tank. Yes, considering the fact that I would not ride any hard offroad just slight gravel or dry dirty roads, with proper tires it should be sufficient from time to time. When you have riding pro mode, are you able to completely turn off traction control and (rear)ABS in dynamic pro, or some individual mode? @@NietVanHetBenauwde
@@Ivan70711 Yes, you can disable tractioncontrol (DTC) Completely. I reccon that you only can disable the rear with the abs. Without doubt with some pirelli scorpion tyres it will do some light offroad!
Yeah that is great. I found in another video - ruclips.net/video/KuVlhGIlD5Q/видео.htmlsi=lO1xtfUW8YyexsEx&t=729 , that if you have riding pro mode package then individual configuration of dynamic pro will allow you to turn of the traction control and abs will not be working on a rear wheel. With those Pirelli tires I bet it is a capable to do a light offroad. So I am starting to like this XR more than GS.@@NietVanHetBenauwde
