I didn't know your back story watched the police vs bikers video your nervous about starting but excited then came back to this video press play and you say things have worked out your living your best life awesome to hear
THANK YOU! Keep moving in the box. As a Canadian rider who rides in Europe most summers, I just rode in the UK for the 1st time this summer. Many things confused me. Those diagonal lines were one of them.
I had a 2015 S1000R for a few years. Such capable machines. But I used to find it so frustrating... so difficult to find the right time and place to realise its potential. Found myself riding quicker and quicker, just chasing that rush you get when the bike came alive at 8000+ rpm. Got home from a few rides and thought, 'You bloody idiot, that was too quick!' Sold it and bought a GS.
I am lucky enough to have a 1250 gs, m1000r comp and a new 990 duke. You have to set up the suspension on the M for road they send it out hard for track, your right its fantastic and bloody scary too, brakes are superb every part of it is better than my 990 Duke but the Duke is the most fun to ride at half the cost, well worth trying out the 990, you wont be dissapointed.
Hi Bruce as an ex motorcycle racer the power comes in in three surges. First at 3000 rpm second at 6000 rpm and then goes bang for leather after 9000 rpm. But we will not go there today.💯
Great video. Love the looks of the bike. Little bit of a warning Bruce. I had that bike mount on my bike with the X2 mounted to it. The carbon rod snapped at the base and sent the camera down the road. It wasn’t even at speed. It was around 30mph and on a bumpy uneven road. The vibration was just too much. It was on an adventure bike too (ATAS) Nice plush suspension.
Sweet sounding stunning machine, good to get an as it rides video on it and not a video full of fluff and blubber. Like the way you've put the video together with the turning circle drone shot and the walk arounds. Not sure about the new camera it seems a bit wobbly but a god image.
Well, Bruce, there's something else you need to blur in your videos apart from the speedometer. In this one, your beard was nicely wrapped around your neck, not hanging down like when you ride the GS tractor - a clear indication of the speed😂. So you've got to be careful with that, too🤭. Cheers! Love your vids!
Nice to see a more relaxed Bruce on this video, sounded like you were enjoying every minute of it. Some other stuff you've reviewed I thought was a bit .... forced? This was seemed like sheer utter enjoyment all the way through (Well maybe until you spotted the CSW). Lets see more of this Bruce again.
Thanks bud, glad you enjoyed it, it’s a hell of a bike and has infected my very soul! Sorry to hear that about some other vids, all I can say is you’ll always get ‘me’ and I’ll never fake anything. Sometimes we just have stuff going on in life though don’t we, so maybe my mind was on others things at that time 🤷♂️👍
@@teapotone Its not that there was anything 'wrong' with the other videos but this was more like the "letsgetrightinaboutthis" attitude you had before. This and the Bru Time you did with TMF have been great to watch. Anyway, It's about time You, Choppsy, TMF, MrFish and Dicky Vegas got the band back together for some Chaos and Mayhem.
Great review of a bike that would be way beyond my riding ability and finances! I also liked the fact that halfway through you were talking through safe overtaking and ridng techniques. Interesting to me that despite living where you do that you didn't take your GS to Tunbridge Wells. I'm currently in negotiations with them on a new RS1250. Anything I should know?! 🤔😉
What a beautiful machine 😀I’d be too intimidated, and my skill level is nowhere near what's necessary to get the best out of that wonderful bike. Great review and video as always, footage from X3 looks great 😀👍🏼
Nice video Bruce. I’ve got one and I describe it as my most fun boring bike I have. It’s deadly powerful and it puts a smile on your face for sure but it’s a bit samey
Very nice, we rode one a while back, we definitely did not test all of it's performance, if anyone is lucky enough to own one hit us up once you need service parts or you've ripped up the tyres first week 😅 still got ❤ for the Tuono V4 Factory's though!
Great review on a cool looking bike, I borrowed a earlier version of the S100R and after a couple hours the seat made me feel like I had been to a Micheal Barrymore pool party. The 🐀 in the Met did you a favour as every member of the Old Bill I know has left or is unhappy and wanting to leave and I can’t see it getting any better.
I used to live in South Africa and it’s amazing been stoped at stupid speeds and a good old £10.00 gets you out of all sort of nonsense…… getting my first bike here in UK (BMW 1300) my poor license 😈😈😈 I’ll join on one of your trips soon soon..!!!!
I took out the M1000R non competition for a couple of hours from Motorad. It was amazing so quick. I can’t make my mind between this model or the S1000RR what do you think Bruce. Cheers Kelvin
The 360 looks good mate I need to get one as it makes you look trimmer mate so I definitely need one lol looks stunning perhaps in a few years but love my Z900RS SE 2023
Thank you Bruce for a great review, i own a 1390 super duke and love it, and I'm just trading my tractor, lol 1300GS for a s1000xr gen 3, i just couldn't stand the gearbox and quick shifter, .........you seem to think in the same circles.
Ain't it funny how fast the Hooligan comes out on bikes like this? 😂 Well, for sure it's a fantastic machine but seing that it is well over 30 Grand (at least here in Germany) in this configuration is as insane as it's ability. Anyway Bruce, I look forward to see you riding the original Beast in the near future again. 👍
Took one out a couple of weeks ago, power is as you would expect but the vibration in the mirrors was awful, put me off getting one tbh, couldn’t even work out the make of the car behind me at 70mph, and with that power you do need to know who’s behind/chasing you!!!!
I’ve not ridden the new 1390 SDR but was chatting with Lamb Chops about it last night on my ‘Bru Time’ podcast. I genuinely can’t stop thinking about the M1000R, and he’s the same. I think it would be the M for me now - but they’re both incredible bikes. The Tuono looks, sounds and rides amazing, but I’ve owned one before and wouldn’t do it again personally.
Hi Bruce, Yes we all love a grass don't we. Arseholes sorry can I say that ah well all ready have Haha. On to more important things BIKES what a lovely sound that bike makes. Really impressive. Bit like you do like my dinosaurs but you must have ago if it's offered got to do the Gentleman thing obviously 😂. Keep them coming Bruce and as always ride safe. (unless you are on that monster haha) 🤘
Your insta does what mine did and twists under vibration on the selfie sick. Remedied by putting some thread lock on base of said stick. Great bit of kit however
It’s a stunning looking machine colours are great , looking good, A lot of money just to have a toy in the garage for a sunny day ,don’t know if the novelty would wear off , it definitely would devalue quickly with the mileage climbing up , like all bikes prices drop like a stone as soon as they get a few thousand miles on them 😢
Another lottery win bike to go on "my list". Ta Bruce that thing looks a riot though even as a responsible mid 50s bloke I am not sure that I could resist giving it the beans and yeh, that way lies trouble... 🖖👍😜 One thing that would persuade me to get this over a KTM would be that it's NOT a KTM (bloody luv 'em but their issues really do put a damper on 'em).
@@teapotone A pretty penny but not compared to my friends Tiger 1200 which was nigh on £1000 due to the additional labour. My own RT valve check required the purchase of 3 shims and so was a grand-total of £7 and a couple of hours work as a DIY job. This saving enabled me, on a low budget, to continue to enjoy the bike and learn a little about basic servicing too.
I have a M1000r comp and if you had it a bit longer you can soften the suspension quite a lot the race pro modes would be better named user mode 1/2/3 I run mine in race pro 1 all the time this allows you to soften the suspension but you can have traction set same as say road mode this is also true of all the other settings, so in a nutshell you could but wouldn’t have the race pro mode set to the same settings as rain mode obviously you would just use rain mode, hope I have explained this ok. But it is a great bike once you get your head around the settings.
having had a gen 3 SDR and a SFV4 SP2, I'd be interested to know how the M1000R sits against those two, Bruce. The SDR was much more fun on real world roads than the SFV4.
having posed the question before watching the video, you answered as far as the SDR is concerned. I'm put off by peak power being at such high , and largely inaccessible, RPMs.
on yhe M1000XR you have 98% of this bike and GS comfort. And i have almost 100 000 kms on my S1000XR, using it as an EDB. The novelty does not wear of. Every ride ends with a bin grin acros the face.
Covid was the problem . Prices went through the roof during the pandemic and then dropped considerably once travel restrictions were lifted . I'm sure alot of dealers bought stock at the inflated price and are now left to suffer the losses
Can someone translate "you'd grass me up", "You're all a bunch of grasses" from Scottish into Australian or American english for me? I love this bike. It would be a second bike, for sure, not a daily rider, but I'd love to put one in my garage.
The only thing I don't like is the fact that it's a naked. It's a 174mph maniac and you seriously need a fairing to stop the buffeting. You don't buy a 25k bike and have to ride it slowly because of the wind causing fatigue. Not sure if it's a good use of money for that reason
Yes of course, there was traffic ahead of me meaning they weren’t going to cross the road at that point. The bloke is even looking at me so I knew he had seen me and was aware
We'll have to agree to disagree on this one. I certainly don't think it's something that would get positive feedback from an advanced instructor and I know it would be a point for debrief on a police course.
Who cares you cant use it to its full potential. The excitement in your voice says it all. Enjoyed that one, cheers TP.
I didn't know your back story watched the police vs bikers video your nervous about starting but excited then came back to this video press play and you say things have worked out your living your best life awesome to hear
Thanks Danny, aye I’m living the dream bud and somehow getting away with it 👍
Every time I think about you telling The Filth to "go do one" and go all in on the YT channel, a smile carves it's way across my face.
THANK YOU! Keep moving in the box. As a Canadian rider who rides in Europe most summers, I just rode in the UK for the 1st time this summer. Many things confused me. Those diagonal lines were one of them.
A fab real-world review Bruce. A good demonstration of planning overtakes and talking us through the ride too.
Cheers Chris 👍

Could you do a video on how to do certain things on the bike such as leaning etc? More for novices and new riders
you look good on it Bruce! Its all about having fun!
Ha Ha thank you Helen, I’m doing my very best to try and forget this bike exists currently… and failing 🥰👍🤣
I agree mate what a bike. I'd love one of these but like the diavel v4 I was 25k short. Ive got the MT10 now, that too is a weapon but more affordable
360 image looks good love the vids love the m1000 r
Is that really a courtesy? Seems more like a threat! 🤣 Man, that's wild.
Nice Bruce, I am considering one maybe , I’m on my 2nd 1290sdr and I love em , but there’s always other shiny toys that catch your eye 😁
Hi Bruce as an ex motorcycle racer the power comes in in three surges. First at 3000 rpm second at 6000 rpm and then goes bang for leather after 9000 rpm. But we will not go there today.💯
I bet you he already has "been there".....
😉👍
Sounds like we are on an advanced motorcycle test with the commentary 😀
Great video. Love the looks of the bike.

I chopped my 1250GSA in for an M1000R Competition. Absolutely worth it.
Mate loving the channel more & more. The least I can do is buy you a beer 🍺 Cheers from Australia.
Thank you very much Chris, only just saw this bud. Have replied to your email 👍
Everyone need s “Sunny Sunday afternoon bike” 🏍️ ! At least that’s what I keep telling my wife 😆👍!
Great video Bruce, roll onto the 100,000 subs

I saw you out and about filming great vid . You passed me at the Toby Carvery at Langley. That bike is insane by the looks of it.
Looked great fun
Cheers Dave, it was😉👍
great video Bruce, what a machine. Was that Headcorn I saw?

A nice addition to the collection Bruce 😉 💳
Ha Ha, SIGN HERE! 🤦♂️🤣
Just returned from SW France, this bike would make sense there………here in SE England pointless (apart from your licence).
Great review Bruce 👍

Great video! Had a gen 1 standard r and liked that a lot. That M is something else!
Since you do miles and panniers and range can be useful, have you pondered waiting for the gen4 1390GT? Should be out at the bike shows this year.
Aye it’s ALL I’ve thought about since they released the 1390 SDR to be honest! It was a close call for me between the Gen 3 1290 SAS and the 1250GS!

I wish! Haven’t had any contact with BMW UK for years bud

13:30, absolute bedwetters.
Mental bike, glad I can't afford one😅
Nice vid Bruce

It would be interesting to see a comparison between this and the supercharged Kawasaki
Like big Phil campion says, "I don't have enough time to do the things I love, why do stuff I don't like"
Amen to that 👏👍
Cracking bike, there must be alot of stress on the arms being a naked bike when you give it some welly

how you like that new so called turbo roundabout at the running horse in maidstone... amount of times ive been cut up is crazy lol

You blurred your speedo ? and faced some sort of censure ? I thought you had to blurry them if you were a yootoob biker.

The only thing I don't like is the fact that it's a naked. It's a 174mph maniac and you seriously need a fairing to stop the buffeting. You don't buy a 25k bike and have to ride it slowly because of the wind causing fatigue. Not sure if it's a good use of money for that reason
I got the 1200s, and I'd love one of these, but it's not worth the extra 10k
Love it. Want one. Wife says No ! 😂
The other day there was three women doing the same thing with the speed guns so as I rode past I gave them a wave it didn’t go down well 😂
Looked like a lot of fun, but with fun comes points. I assume your restraint slipped a few times. Restraint my hairy you ken the rest.
What is the pouch you wear left chest?
And I own one
Rochester has a Cathedral and it’s not a City 😊
🤘👍👍🤘
i like the new camra angle, looks like a beast but not my cup of tea.
❤❤❤
I presume you considered the pedestrian in your plan at 12.51?
Yes of course, there was traffic ahead of me meaning they weren’t going to cross the road at that point. The bloke is even looking at me so I knew he had seen me and was aware
As long as you considered your " what if " in your plan. Not sure he would have appreciated you overtaking at that speed passed him. Stay safe.
Why? He was on the verge at the side of the road, no threat at all.
We'll have to agree to disagree on this one. I certainly don't think it's something that would get positive feedback from an advanced instructor and I know it would be a point for debrief on a police course.
Not on the police course I did
Oh come now Bruce, you really would buy a Super Duke over the M 1000R....never lol
Take BMW a tractor & they loan you a fighter jet???
Sign me up 😂
