In terms of raw performance, these two are evenly matched. The F 900 XR and SuperSport 950 produce nearly identical power figures, meaning the real-world difference will come down to gearing and torque delivery rather than peak horsepower. When it comes to agility, the SuperSport 950 has a clear advantage. Weighing in 6kg less than the F 900 XR, 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 SuperSport 950. Its seat height is 15mm lower than the F 900 XR, making it much easier to flat-foot at stoplights and increasing confidence during stops. Bottom Line: It's a close call. Choose the f900xr if you prefer its specific styling and ergonomics, or the supersport-950 if you want the alternative brand character.
