If straight-line speed is your priority, the XSR 900 takes the lead. With 53 HP more than the Bonneville T100, it offers a more spirited ride that will be noticeable on highway overtakes or track days. When it comes to agility, the XSR 900 has a clear advantage. Weighing in 35kg less than the Bonneville T100, 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 Bonneville T100. Its seat height is 20mm lower than the XSR 900, making it much easier to flat-foot at stoplights and increasing confidence during stops. Bottom Line: While both are capable, the xsr900 offers a superior power-to-weight ratio, making it the more exciting machine for experienced riders.
