Thank you for such a thorough evaluation of this bike! You are, refreshingly, the only reviewer who preferred this over its XR brother. Which makes me happy since I prefer the hunched streetfighter style.

I've been away for a while (your channel-wise, not prison. lol. Must be 2 years now!) and it was a pleasure to watch and listen to this video. The information you give the viewers in your videos is phenomenal and very consistent. Thank you very much and keep up the good work! 🙂👍

Good to hear from yo again Allen!

Thank you for the honest review. It’s a bike I’m interested in to replace my Honda CB500F, as I want more power but still a naked bike. I thought the written review in MCN was really negative, as they spent more time comparing it to the XR, that they’d previously reviewed, and talked about that more so it gave me the impression that they didn’t really have an open mind about the R. You and a couple of other viewers could manage to detach themselves from the XR and give an honest review whilst riding it, so I thank you. It’s defiant top of my list now, thanks to such a well considered review from yourself.

Nice looking bike and after another great review, I am very much looking forward to taking one out for a ride.

Had test ride of the F900r yesterday. Had F800GT for last 3 years and was concerned about the forward lean on this bike. It instantly reminded me of a Street Triple I had years ago but the forward lean is not as agressive as the Street and it does not impact upon the wrists. The riding was effortless, the engine great and gear change flawless. Its a naked and considering I have a tourer I didnt think it was an issue even at 70 mph. Compared to the F 800GT its a completely different bike - leagues ahead and you can throw it around corners like a Street - and it can be very civil if you want it to. Agree with your comments TMF - only one complaint the seat is a plank - however easily resolved with a gel insert as the Bike is comfortable in standard set up. I am 6. 1 so will need a higher seat. Placed a deposit on the Bike after the test ride on the day. Recommended

Looks good and sounds good. For me, the front end is missing something. Street Triple has the small screen / cowl which tidies up the interface between screen and bike which for me looks better. MT09 has an optional extra screen which deals with the same issue. Top drawer review again, thanks TMF.

Love the rev counter with the numbers getting bigger as you accelerate. Easily pleased.

I went and road tested one of these on the back of this review and was very impressed. My current Z1000SX is a great bike but very serious, this while not as fast is definitely a lot more fun and the SE model I went for has everything on it. Pick it up Saturday and can't wait 🏍️

there was a time that a 300cc was considered a proper big bike when 30hp were more than enough. I still think they are but what I'm about is that motorcycles are so expensive nowadays, a Honda cb500f is considered a learner bike it costs reasonably well but 10k for a motorcycle it's kinda a ridiculous price for just 2 wheels.

I like the look of the old f800r with the square lights though

Good alround bike. Ta for review. Best, Pete.

Great vid. But one thing that wasn’t mentioned was excitement. Pretty sure you won’t be able to ride a z900 or mt09 without mentioning excitement which has got to be a key ingredient for a naked

The blue is very nice though I think Id prefer the model with the fairing and taller screen. Topbox and heated grips would make it a good urban, weekend tourer. Twins seem to be the default engine for this genre in terms of price point.

I somewhat miss the old F 800 S but this new engine is so much better. It’s interesting how many people have said they prefer the R over the XR. I rode the XR and there was a lot to like, but it won’t be replacing my Tiger 800, not yet. I need to ride the R.

Hi TMF, really nice review of bike I've been patiently awaiting an upgrade to from BM. I think you made a mistake on the seat height. You would have flatfooted a 770mm I believe. Anyway maybe you can cleanup another spec that BM continues to miss-report: front end geometry. They have reversed the trail dimension on roadsters vs R900XR and also previously on R1200-1250Rs. vs RSs. I have never seen anyone call them on this but as you reported, the roadsters have sharper steering and this can't be possible with a longer trail than the more upright models. Maybe I'm mixed-up?....

Looking at one of these as my GSXS 750 isn’t really pillion friendly for the missus. Read the the mcn review which opted for the xr over the r but you have given a balanced view so thanks

You need to get yourself a test ride on the Z900! Far better than the MT09 in my opinion. I've test ridden the 2017 Z900 twice. Once for a town ride and once for a country road ride Decided not to have a 3rd as I would have bought it! Get yourself over to Onyerbike and have a ride on their demo. No difference in the 2020 version other than a TFT screen, two riding modes (that it didn't need) and the seat is slightly higher.

It's quite tricky for me to ride Kawasaki's (ironically Kawa UK is just up the road from me - literally about 5 miles away but don't seem to want to speak to me)....there are some friendly dealers around though so I will get to it...

You need to do a black t shirt with the back of a white van with the TMF logo on!! Oh and send me a free one..lol
