If straight-line speed is your priority, the F 900 GS Adventure takes the lead. With 11 HP more than the 800MT Touring, it offers a more spirited ride that will be noticeable on highway overtakes or track days. When it comes to agility, the 800MT Touring has a clear advantage. Weighing in 15kg less than the F 900 GS 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 800MT Touring. Its seat height is 50mm lower than the F 900 GS 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 800mt if you want the alternative brand character.
