My opinion is biased, but I have only ever had the pleasure of riding one of the two you are looking at. My friend has a 2016 XF250, and he let me ride it - which is what made me decide to get my Hawk. The XF250 is a great bike, just the right amount of power, will cruise at 60-65 all day without feeling like it will explode, although I think 1 or 2 up on the front sprocket, or two or three down out back would be better for more regular highway use. A part of me wishes I would have spent more and got one, but I am sure the hawk with a few tweaks will be more than fine for me (I will keep telling myself that lol).

I would say look around for sales, as it is a Holiday weekend. You might be able to get a brand new one for around 2700 bucks, if you decide to get the SSR that is.
