If straight-line speed is your priority, the Tuono V4 1100 takes the lead. With 70 HP more than the F900R, it offers a more spirited ride that will be noticeable on highway overtakes or track days. Both bikes share a similar footprint on the scale, with only a negligible 2kg difference between them, so handling characteristics will depend more on center-of-gravity than raw weight. Riders with a shorter inseam should lean towards the F900R. Its seat height is 21mm lower than the Tuono V4 1100, making it much easier to flat-foot at stoplights and increasing confidence during stops. Bottom Line: While both are capable, the tuono-v4 offers a superior power-to-weight ratio, making it the more exciting machine for experienced riders.
