I know most of the comparisons seem to be the 1090R vs the Africa Twin. For me I'm comparing to the Triumph. I am very interested in the impressive performance of the 1090R - but the options of Cruise Control, Heated Seats/Grips - for me in cool Canada are quite attractive. I want a bike that is good on gravel roads and light off road but also a decent touring bike on road for longer distances. The XCA has a 650W alternator to power the heater and other devices. I can't find much about that on the 1090...the 1190 had only a 450W Alternator - which makes me think it might be limited if you add a heated seat and grips? There is very little detail on the options for the 1090R so far...if anyone could shed some light.
The AT/Tiger 800XCA/1090R/Muti-Strada 950 all seem pretty close in comparison.
