If straight-line speed is your priority, the F900GS Adventure takes the lead. With 15 HP more than the XL750 Transalp, it offers a more spirited ride that will be noticeable on highway overtakes or track days. When it comes to agility, the XL750 Transalp has a clear advantage. Weighing in 38kg less than the F900GS Adventure, it will feel significantly easier to handle in low-speed traffic, parking maneuvers, and twisty corners. Riders with a shorter inseam should lean towards the XL750 Transalp. Its seat height is 25mm lower than the F900GS Adventure, making it much easier to flat-foot at stoplights and increasing confidence during stops. Bottom Line: It's a close call. Choose the f900gs if you prefer its specific styling and ergonomics, or the transalp-xl750 if you want the alternative brand character.
