Where can I get a gel seat for the S1000XR?

My health is now wotse, left side paralysis and can hardly type. but this video is excellent and I wanted to tell you guys that.
Thank you guys! Great video and comparison of these two bikes. I have been on the fence deciding between these two (and the Multi 950.. and the Tracer 900GT..), but have decided on the 900XR with most of the options. It's not as fast or "premium" as the 1000xr, but it rides amazingly well and to me feels like a much better "all around" bike, IMO.
Thank you again, and keep up the great work!! Cheers!!!
Rest In Peace Christian ! We will ride for you and with you !
After his review of the Africa Twin I bought one!!
I really appreciate the way you`re producing your videos the dialog format, exchanging impressions about the bikes you test sounds very natural and you end touching the important differences between the machines with a very clear explanation. It is an intelligent manner of doing the job and it is a nice one too. Thanks for this well made comparison and keep up the good work!
Thank you very much!
Great Video guys - keep it up 👍🚀🏍
Thanks! 👍
Not sure how RUclips destroys interesting videos to promote their “premium” services but, ten advertisements is a good start. There’s got to be a better platform!
Add blocker Ultimate is your best friend. I don't remember what is add?
@@interceptorm5, what if ur watching on your phone?
Guys you are great!
I’ll test both bikes but the 900XR seems to have the most usable power for current speed limits in the U.S.
RIP, Cristian.
Looks like the smaller XR might be good enough for most riders, especially if you're not doing long highway miles at high speed.
As usual best review
Simply the best bike reviewers…fun, informative, well edited and a great resource of information for those considering these 2 wonderful machines. I’m slightly biased, I ride the F900 XR. Your euro roads are wonderful. Come visit Canada one day, we have some great terrain and roads too, especially the west where I live, Vancouver, Whistler and beyond!
Nice review folks! Was just thinking about a comparison! Thanks!
My wife’s father was a German Romanian and she wants to tour the country. I’ve shown her some of your videos and we are both looking forward to touring.
“Ready get your hands dirty?” ........ “NO” 🤣 to funny
You mentioned that you were riding the the 1k in dynamic mode. Did you try dynamic pro as I know the mid range torque is noticeably better in pro mod than just dynamic., although it still requires the revs.
Could you write down the name of this charming village? Looks incredible. I'll ride across Romania this year and I hope to see it.
Greetings from Poland
H (Varadero 1000)
VISCRI - somewhere near Rupea, between Sigishoara (a must-see) and Brasov
@@RacingandAdventure Thanks. I've been to Romania twice. Brasov and Sigishoara are incredible. I left my heart in your country and decided to find it this year :)
The 900 looks great, considering the price difference it might be worth a test ride. 😸
Probably the best opening of a motorcycle review vid of 2021.
The original 1000 bike has more midrange than the old one, you have to rev it so much more, the old one is a tall sports bike, the new one much more sports tourer, I thought the small one was more fun to ride, kept the old one and now done over 50,000 miles on it.
I have ridden the old one 2015 sport se I think in red. (Had everything on it) if nothing else I didn't like the single headlamp on one side for low beam. Or the little tail light above the number plate right on the end of the long mudguard extension piece. Looks like an after thought like they forgot it needed a light on the back.
Thank you for review.
Could you deep review S1000XR in another video and maybe s1000xr vs. ktm duke 1290 gt
I bought the handle bar raiser. But the standard GPS mount and raiser was not compatible when you try install the GPS mount on the Handle bar together with raiser. The GPS tower is the solution. Thanks for that.
Video you intended to watch starts @13:10
4:53 photo bombed by Jabba the Hut on his phone lol!
20:32 ooh, the (BMW) GS is coming!! 😂😂😂😂😂
Great review guys 👍. So if you could only have one BMW would it be an XR or a GS / GSA 😎?🇬🇧
Agreed.... really like to watch comparison between those s1000XR & 1250 GS/GSA....
I think it comes down to trackdays. Yes: XR/SR. No: GSA/RT (RT is real solid except when off-roading…)
I bought the S1000XR in 2020, because I’d never do any off-road riding.
If you’re going to ride in the rough, then get a GS of your liking.
Christian is a big loss , I miss his humor and personality
Your country is beautiful 👍. Enjoyed the vid.
I think the XR 1000 still vibrates mostly in the front not in the foot pegs though but believe the 4000rpm you can always feel the vibes. That’s the downside about this bike for some reason BMW couldn’t eliminate the vibes on this second generation.
On the 22 model slight vibration in the foot pegs and none on the handle bars. Pretty good for an in-line 4
Another excellent video guys. Beautiful country, once this covid goes I think I need to go to these places. Enjoy & be safe. Greetings from Australia.
Please do! 😄✌️
Love the 1k XR! What riding jeans are you wearing?
Top class and very houmous
Your not wrong about that seat on the F900 😏
The guy with the yellow shirt is hungry and thirsty he was a union break. It's time for a beer. What do you like better S1000XR or F900XR? Tell more about the 2022 S1000XR and F900XR? I won't lot more information about them?
Really loved this video style guys👍
That engine is designed and built in china by Loncin, known for copying Honda engines for years. 👎
Not worth buying that bike when you have Japanese bikes with engines still made in Japan for the same amount of money. 🤷♂
i came back here to watch again s1kxr review before i am going to buy one and i have found out Christian gone !!!! Jesus Christ !!! RIP :(
I believe you brothers are the best reviewers on RUclips. 👍
Wow, thanks!
Well it’s the 1000 for Me…. China made engine is not helping My county and government… but neither is My county and government helping itself… so I can’t in truth blame China for Americans problems
Having ridden an F900 for coming up to three years now, it's biggest strength is its physical size. The S1000XR is strangely enormous compared to the naked S1000r.
The 900 is the Goldilocks motorcycle for city and touring.
interested in F900XR mount for GPS, but one that will take a mobile phone? I have a Samsung A70, quite big, as it will pair with the bike and all my routes, POIs are saved on google maps makes more sense? if you have come across any or know of any mounts please let me know. thanks.
Poor S1000XR taking a nap :( .. Nice vid!
He was tired after the F900 beat his ass
Hi Guys,
Great video, confirming my choice to order a F900XR, waiting to be delivered
About the windshield, can you tell me which "exact" model you got, as there are 3 sizes for such model (Z2386, Z2387, Z2388) on Hornig site.
I tested sport model (red) and this is definitively not good protection, and I'm looking for new one
Thanks
how I wish they will make crash guard avoiding the aux lights. mine is S1000XR 2022 and the only option right now is the sliders
Can't beleive you are no more Christian. Just heard the terrible news. I really enjoyed your videos. You were as good an experienced of a rider as any of us could hope to be. Makes you wonder what else one can do to stay safe out there.
The problem with crash bars is losing possibility to install OEM fog lights on BMW F900XR
Haven’t been to Romania since the 70s, note to self must go back on a 900XR, need to ride something smaller the GSA is great but too heavy😜👍
Does the crash bar from the s1000xr fit with the extra bmw lights which are attached to the side?
Salve ragazzi potreste aggiornare i link delle parti che avete istallato sulla f900xr?
Grazie
Very nice review (gosh those windshields are ugly tough) and super nice filming location. 😊 (can you add the details of the location in the video description?)
New s1000xr looks more agresive and better😎👍and more grunt🔥🔥
amazing channel ! greetings from Greece
Thank you very much!
Amazing review! And “Here comes the GS” 🤣🤣🤣 !!
Great review. The editing is superb
We ♥️ Romania
can you please inform me what leaning angle you have in twistiest on sxr?
You guys are crazy and fun. I enjoyed the informative vid.
great review and I agree on the F900 XR (as I ride 1 too ;) ). I have the MRA touring screen with spoiler where I can easily see above with no problems and buffeting on the highway with the high setting. the handlebar rises are looking very interesting.
cool great vid, thx, greetings from South Africa!
What’s the place/city name? Tks! Nice video!
Guys, I just love seeing you. Please don't ever stop doing good to the bikers community
Super touring machines with no rad guards… 😏
But great entertaining review! 😊
Another great, informative video, interesting conclusion too. It just goes to prove that size isn't important. Well done guys!
Same engine from S1000 single R in S1000XR
sunteți chiar enervanți când vă aud vorbind în engleză
Guys, what do you thing. For everyday commute f900xr or f850gs?
I Would say F850GS just because you can do some off-road from time to time.
This XR 1000 isnt fitted with the forged wheels like the 2020 Xr100 you test rode last year. Can you tell the difference? Would the XR 1000 fitted with forged wheels steer faster ?
Yes, it steers faster - as in you'll have to put less effort when steering. But that's it.
S1000XR, selling to China, are equipped with shiftcam. It might improve its torque in low rev.
You sure about that ?
The best comment is : Look - the GS i coming :-)
Please review the KTM Duke 890R
Sincere condolences! Rest in peace, Cristian!
Hi Good Analysis.. just curious about Alloys Wheels performance in comparision with Spoke wheels on 850 & 1250 GSA? Please advise...
We strongly reccomend spoked wheels. They are a lot stronger for any purpose.
@@RacingandAdventure Thank you
Great vidéo 👍 where will be your next long adventure trip ? Waiting for the vidéo 🤩
Not sure yet, still waiting for the covid thing to pass
Wondering how would K1600GT do next to these two during this same ride
That would be an interesting video to watch!
Very good 🎉 love it . Congrats
Great vid 👍 lovely scenery and bikes!
Too many adverts......!
Nice informative video!
I have the same starting issue with the F900XR but it's only when i fill up the tank with E98 petrol. Filling it up E95 has no issues.
What state are you from? In the US we have E85 gas. I never heard of E98 or E95.
@@seanflum8521 likely England or mainland Europe
interesting in detail. thanks 👍
Question : F900XR nu are 105CP sau sunt două modele separate unul de 95 și unul de 105?. Merci
sunt doua variante. Una de 105 cp si una de 95 ce poate fi limitata.
Great comparison video!
Hei , how many miles does the S1000XR has ? whats with the fork leak so early .
What leak? It was about 1,000 kms
@@RacingandAdventure at 34:48 that black dirt looks like dirt combined with oil
hehehe Cristi i-ai cam dat gaze pe curbe.. parca nu imi vine sa cred ca e mai bun F9-- , nice video :)
Mie-mi place mai mult. Mi se pare mai reusita, per total. Cristi
Price difference?
Thanks guys.
great review
What pants and jacket is Bogdan using in the first part of the video?
Pando moto jeans and Motul rain coat.
@@RacingandAdventure Thank you!
RIP
Grat Job and nice Review 👌😁
Thanks! 😁
Don't run the F900XR on premium fuel. It causes the starting issues. 👍
Never ran any bike on premium fuel. 😄😄😄
@@RacingandAdventure anything'over 91 RON will do it....
In the UK and Germany the lowest is 95 Ron. Wouldn’t make much sense for a German company to make a bike that doesn’t run on their countries 95 Ron fuel. I had a F900r; I never had any starting problems running it on 95 or 98 Ron petrol.
@@dasp125 just because you didn't have problems doesn't mean they don't exist. Go to F900 Forum for proof. It's very common. Also, might I point out, your 95 is like Oz's 91. 👍
Good review. Thanks.
Thanks for watching!
Perfect
No offense but the person on the S1000XR wasn't confident enough in my honest opinion, S1000XR > F900XR all the way, in every aspect.
Fun video to watch though!
👍😁😷
My Tracer 900 GT would leave both of your BMWs in the dust through the twisties. Plus this triple sounds better than both of those combined. Still, I adore your videos and love Romania. Greetings from the other side of Danube.
Not in a million years i would trade my xr for the tracer 900 what were they thinking with that dash oh boy so ugly, the tft of the bmw’s is just class leading.
179 kg payload on a wannabe-touringbike? :D Cute.
And no - your Tracer won't leave the BMWs in the dust. I tried them all in the Alps for a few days. The Tracer is nice and okay. But no match.
@@oliviermissal8739 dash on my Tracer 900GT is beautiful, you are mixing it with the tracer 9. Dynamically, aurally and price wise tracer 900GT is not just a match - it's better. Badge snobs will always defend their investment because they will never admit they've bought a wrong bike and paid for it way too much. It's OK though, it's just funny how fan boys get butt hurt and immediately comment on someone else's comment even though it has nothing to do with them! 🤔😉😂
One thing to notice for all those who get butt hurt with my comments : in every review, no matter which site it is European brands will always better Japan's or Korean's manufacturers. Even though reviewers might not get "freebies" from these brands only but I can't help but notice that fan factor always takes over common sense approach. If that is not the case most of the people would make common sense approach rather then emotional. Now that's OK, I'm European myself but let's be objective far east always gives you much better wack for your money and by far superior reliability and built quality.
And when I say built quality I mean actual built quality, not perceived.
@@interceptorm5I don't know if you're referring to me. If so: I'm not butthurt and I drive a Japanese bike myself ;)
Still - your Tracer GT is no match for the two BMWs when it comes to driving in the Alps.
👍
Who wants to bet, when are they going to break up, and have their own channel separately.
Although I don't want them to
👍 Great video and nice bikes 👍 thanks and Greetings from Germany!
this video will make BMW introduce the shift cam next year for the S1000XR
If will have to get a power increase otherwise shiftcam has no real point. Gs gained higher end power with shiftcam s1000rr gained low / midrange with shiftcam
