She is Home!

Picked up my ‘21 F900XR at Grassroots BMW last Wednesday. Spent three days riding the Mark Twain National Forest and SW Illinois. Got my miles in for the 600 mile service. Beautiful part of the country and weather was literally perfect. As usual for me the stock seat is horrid. Checking on the RDL sport seat. This bike compliments the RT perfectly. Can’t wait to really rev her and make her sing.

That is a bad arse looking bike.  At 482lbs it should be really flickable and fun to ride.  Congrats.

The jacket and beard coordinate perfectly, you chose well!  Nice!

Pretty motorcycle!

[lawnchairboy]

I like it.

Styling to me resembles the RS of the 90's but more angular.  Those RS's were handsome bikes as is yours.  Do give us regular updates on your likes and dislikes, including what seat works.

Congrats on that great new ride!

Having had time with the new XR there is definitely a learning curve with the new TFT/nav/phone software. Having just mastered(?) the ‘17 RT setup this is a whole other animal. Of course the /6 is somewhat simpler.

You sold off that stupid, ugly, unreliable, useless Camhead RT that you were riding, huh?   😏

 

Bored much?  Maybe you should try one of those sleek, fast, useful Wetheads!  😆

(I got a pretty Red one in my garage I could probably sell ya, hardly even used!  🙄😖)

 

Looks like a sweet bike (the XR).  I noticed that it's "old man" lighter, too!  Go for it, man!

Somebody started stacking cash on the table till I couldn't say no........

It was a very nice bike…but, after riding RTs for 18 years I just couldn’t get it comfortable for anything over 100 miles or so. Wind buffeting was horrid even after three aftermarket windshields. I still have the panniers and a Akra slip-on I should sell. 😎

@RinkydinkI have 2020 F900XR and may be interested in a windscreen and the panniers.  Agree, this is mostly an around town bike, great size for lane splitting.  What windscreens to you have?
