+Justin Parker To be honest, we weren't sure what to expect with the Z1000. It looks aggressive, yet we knew it wasn't a full-bore sportbike, either. Surprisingly, it toed the line offering a decent amount of sport and comfort. Our first ride impressions showed that it wasn't perfect, but then again, very few things are, and it all comes down to what the consumer is looking for in a bike. Thanks for watching!
I agree. However I went from a ninja650 to a 2015 bmw f800r and this liter variant and my 800cc are nearly identical in character, from your description. It makes no sense to switch up. I'd be better served with the Indian scout. I have thrown my leg over this a few times though I haven't been able to actually road test. Your video confirmed my suspicions
Justin Parker We have not had an opportunity to ride the F800R yet, but it does appear to be comparable to the Z1000. The ergonomics of the BMW might even be a little more aggressive than those of the Yamaha, but the F800R does have a deficiency in power. All of this is relative, obviously, and the fact that you already own the BMW makes it more sensible to keep it, unless you want something with more power. If you are planning on keeping the F800R, the Scout would make a nice addition. If you plan on replacing the BMW with the Indian, there will definitely be a bit of "culture shock" with the dynamics of the bike, but again it all depends on what you are looking for, as the Scout was an enjoyable, fun to ride, and attractive cruiser.
excellent. You confirmed I can live without this bike. What a good review should do. Speak to you whether you want it, or not.
