If straight-line speed is your priority, the F900GS takes the lead. With 27 HP more than the 690 Enduro R, it offers a more spirited ride that will be noticeable on highway overtakes or track days. When it comes to agility, the 690 Enduro R has a clear advantage. Weighing in 57kg less than the F900GS, 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 F900GS. Its seat height is 65mm lower than the 690 Enduro R, 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 690enduro if you want the alternative brand character.
