excellent, informative review. I bought this bike a month ago and getting used to it and love it, similar height/weight and find the centre-stand quite a struggle compared to the ease with which you set it. Needs a little backwards momentum to get it on CS on mine. Wind protection from the screen is the only weak point on an otherwise cracking bike which is great value. It's my first non-sportsbike for a long time (S1000RRs previously) and find it all useable power on the 900XR. Keep up these excellent practical review videos

Man, I missed you. And your short person pov. It helped a lot and means a lot for us short riders. It felt like you represent us! Saw you react 1 year ago. Means, you still handle this account. Idk your situation but I hope to see your upload again.

What's with the boat scene interrupting the view?

this video is great! i belong to the short people and was looking for a video just like this. Just because I wanted to see if I could get the S1000xr for my height! your video was enlightening thank you so much! I signed up keep it up and thanks for the content!

Thanks for great review What mic you use?

Im 5,5 and have shorter legs than you, i could not get it off the stand sitting on it but it did have a full height seat, had i known the seat could be dropped i may have bought it, great value for money on the used market

Question for you please, Could you comfortably stretch your legs with your feet higher up on the floor boards ? And how was your MPG ?

Great to see a review from someone who is not 6ft plus tall---Thank you.

Good review, I’m short legged be hard to manage! Else I would buy this bike. Would not lower the bike effects handeling, thanks for your review

Try having a 27" inseam

Google says 790mm seat height is available in the Ducati multistrada .

Hello. What you think lowered suspension on the bike effect when cornering?

Unfortunately, at 80mph, my mirrors are almost worthless due to vibrations. ALMOST a perfect bike! ;-)

Hi thanks for sharing the review👍

does the GT LOW have same features of the GT Pro ? tpms, quick shifter; temperatures, cruise control ? Will thailand have all models ? ,

What did you buy in the end?

No gloves ?

What is you height?

Is the low seat comfortable on this bike ?

Did you happen to have a chance to try one with the low seat also? I have heard the low seat is not very comfortable but it gives a decent amount of extra reach to the ground.

How did you add those mirrors. I think the stock mirrors are not good looking at all.

Are all xmax 300 scooters 5 miles over speead?

Always LOVED the look and wanted a 2006 speed triple- FINALLY found one not to far from my crib so I went to check it out. It felt like a refrigerator on a ladder. I’m a short rider 5’10 and it was very evident that it would not just be hard to ride -it would be impossible! It felt like my feet were 1ft or more off the ground. I was so disappointed

You are not a short rider sir, I'm 5ft 8 but my inseam is 28ins. Very few bikes are comfortable

Great video, whats the make of your gortex pants ? Chers

We want to test drive the 2023 Honda Transalp 🙏🏻

do you have any friends riding this bike at 160cm? i really love this bike. but im not confident

Are you wearing Daytona Mstar GTC boots?

just seeen this great video! Do you use a low seat?

Most awkward thing is the footpegs for sure. I'm 6ft ands struggle sometimes just because of how wide I have to place my feet

I used 90 weight gear oil and my chain every 2500 mi. Maybe

Hi , I had the same experience in trying to put the bike on the center stand. I test drove one and it was a great bike , but just didn’t thrill. I think I like the new Aprilia 660 better. I always wanted an MV Agusta though. They may come out with new bikes this year though. Thanks for your review.

what is your height ?

Thanks - good review of riding/manoeuvring from a short rider perspective. I'm the same height and also wear the M Star boots. I know the GS is a big bike but it may be manageable. I think the suspension design is fantastic. With the latest ones, setting preload to auto sorts the backend regardless of rider weight. On my F800GT, I'm not heavy enough to get enough sag and the bike never feels well balanced. I'm also considering the F750GS as long as I can fit the standard bike with ESA.

Awesome review! Rly appreciate!

Its got a big fat chubby, that would have to go, must be very heavy, looks like a bike to consider especially while being close to your size buddy

This was extremely helpful and I appreciate you putting this online

Great review! I hope you can do a review of the Moto Guzzi V85TT sometime. Cheers!

How tall are you sir.

Good to hear you’re opinion on this bike and I understand where your coming from, I’ve just bought the 890 adv s so I’ll let you know my options after 400 miles:- the screen I have changed to the r version with a small adjustable screen fixed to it that stopped buffeting, the seat after so long feels better, the front wheel I don’t understand because I’ve had my bike on the edge of my tires on the twisty roads, im 5’8” inseam 30” and I can get both feet down comfortably. I don’t get false neutral. Ktm’s. are hit or miss bikes lucky to get a good one, unlucky to get a bad one. I do have some issues with mine but im still happy with it, keep up the good work

Hi, thank you for your very informative real-life video. I’m 170cm « tall » (5 foot 7). I used to ride a R1250GS for a couple of years, loved it but at the end I got fed up with how difficult it was for me to manhandle the bike once loaded when not moving, even pulling her up from the side stand at the petrol station. I always wanted the S1000XR but found the bike too tall. After reading some compairisons, I noticed that many journalists thought that the Ninja 1000SX was a good and less expensive alternative. I bought one second hand and have been touring with it during the last two years. I love it, specially the engine and I must say that the bike fits me like a glove. But out of sheer curiosity and also because I still fancy the s1000xr, you have experience on both bikes, how would the engine characteristics and the ergonomics compare? Kind regards

Thanks. Enjoyed the review as I’m considering the 2023 s1000xr low suspension.

Hi there, love the video did you end up buying versus or did you buy another bike?

Thanks

Can I ask is the xr low similar to 1250gs low for someone with 28" leg

Im ready to get one too...Im on a 2022 BMW 1250 R/T time to sell it...

Dude you are riding on the wrong side of the road.

I gather you do not like the ktm 890 😆
