If straight-line speed is your priority, the Tracer 9 GT+ takes the lead. With 12 HP more than the F 900 XR, it offers a more spirited ride that will be noticeable on highway overtakes or track days. When it comes to agility, the F 900 XR has a clear advantage. Weighing in 16kg less than the Tracer 9 GT+, 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 F 900 XR. Its seat height is 20mm lower than the Tracer 9 GT+, 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 tracer9 if you want the alternative brand character.
