Sounds awesome for a stock exhaust !
Wow.. your last sentence was extremely true and poetic. Not only regarding to the bike, but to everything. RJ is a real philosopher! :D
Wow, that look's a lot more manoeuvrable than the S1000R. Sounds like the perfect all year commuter & tourer :)
Officer: Do you know how fast were you going?
Me: Erhh... about RJ mph... :|
theodoro89 Many many Smiles Per Hour : )
theodoro89 hahahahahaha
I might one day agree with you, but for now, I am not yet bored of the perfection.
For you perfection is boring for others who want and need only one bad ass motorcycle in there lives the s1000xr is perfection.
I think this is the most I've ever heard you talk... You have a beautiful voice RJ!
I gotta say I'm one of the people that really like the looks of it! It may help that I'm young (19), but it looks clean, sleek, and sporty to me. It looks like an amazing and comfortable ride, and I love the pops and crackles of the stock exhaust. I would seriously consider this as a second bike once I get my first which, of course, has to be a supersport!
@09:47 That was exactly what I got from the S1000RR and people thought I was nuts.
They dialled out any kind of character from it. It was unchallenging.
I got the impression that I could get off and the bike would carry on up the road by itself and park up back at the dealer :D
They'd make a great (safe) step up for someone to their 1st litre bike, but it won't teach them anything.
WeeemRCB A bike has to stir your soul.
@@royaljordanian The question is how do I find that bike? I had 15 bikes (some include the Triumph Daytona 675R, S1000R, Ducati StreetFighter, Superduke 1290 R and many others) in the last 5 years and none of them did it for me, not even close.
E.S. Slc get a vespa
Brilliant words of wisdom Rj. “Perfection is boring”.
Rode it today whilst my bike was in for a service. Out for 2 hours on all road types including town filtering, it's bloody epic. I can't see the point of the R now, it does everything brilliantly, I was keeping a very brisk pace and never felt close to getting outside my comfort zone, such an easy bike to ride fast.
Covering up your speed and revving at a beautiful girl, naughty RJ
"Perffection is boring" SO TRUE, you are a poet RJ! I think the same whit the R35, if a computer drives for you, its not the same, its no fun...
LOVE that ending, "Perfection is boring" while looking at the RR.
Appreciate the upload RJ. I was trying to decide between this bike and the 2015 Multistrada and bought the Multistrada after a 30 minute test drive on both bikes and bought the Multistrada in the show room the same day and rode the Multistada 3600 KM / 2237 Miles home.
You certainly know how to ride a motorcycle Sir. Brilliant vlog young man . Well done
Your comment at the end, "Perfection is boring" is a great line and I almost agree. I have to keep my street triple as well because it has something that the xr doesn't. Partly its because its so unassuming, where as the xr is VERY assuming. I wish I could put it into words as well.
The xr does everything except give you the very very biggest of smiles, that's where the street triple comes in.
The big smile is the key I agree. I had about 15 bikes in the last 5 years and none of them did it for me. So the search continues.
That stock exhaust crackle is NICE.
Perfection is …

RoyalJordanian that RJ speed screen also comes with the bike? :)
RoyalJordanian Well put man
Do a vlog please?, NO? Okaaay:((
RoyalJordanian Bit of a random question RJ. With your bikes do you do a hard engine break in or a soft one? Cheers
This is my type of bike.
Big V .
My 2018 is now 5 years old. Still grinning, every time I take off on the XR. Just turn 8500 miles.❤
That Chrome car THO! I couldn't tell if it was an Aston Martin or a Jag.
"perfection is boring" how eloquent. Nice vid RJ
Thanks for the great review on the Bike. Looks like it has the ability to add saddle bags too for the travelers in the motorcycle community.
what a sound !
Exhausted sound so cool :)
Next vid please wear a eyepatch and say "RR" again 😜 #PirateJordanian
Maybe he already did it in this video 😮
I'm going to work for BMW next week so hopefully be able to ride this bike and see what it's like.
Im really tossing up between this and a GS for a touring bike to compliment my HP4. I really need to find the time to get out to a dealer and ride one and a GS on the same day.
Hi RJ,
Thank you very much for posting this review... In due course I'll test the XR against the multistrada.
Amazing bike, I did a test ride on it yesterday and I loved the power, handling and the comfy seat, it is so easy to ride. The only thing putting me off is the too much vibration I was getting on the right hand side handle bar, not sure whether it was that bike or it is a known issue.
Great looking bike hey!
Liked the sneaky little "RJ" on the dash @ 0:35
Good honest thoughts about this bike RJ, I do prefer bikes to feel special and that I'm actually riding it. :)
Very nice video RJ !! This bike is beautiful and her sound too !! Excellent !! V
Great review Royal Jordanian! We thought ours was cracking too.
Beautiful bike, wouldn't mind getting one for myself...
2:02 I noticed the initials. ;-)
Wiser InTime He does that several times to cover how fast he drives doe.
Is he driving too fast or why is he doing it? :D
Xavo rador He is going over the speed limit, that's why he does it. I've seen several motovloggers block their speed like that.
WiserInTime I
Hope one day I get one...😐
Rj you deserve a milion subs
Ali e he’s got them now
Wow didn't see that conclusion coming!
R RR XR R RR XR R RR . The new BMW RJ !!!
Fenomeno RJ! Non male questo S1000XR!:)
As soon as a I get a decent income together im going to buy a BMW. I love them, they nail that style and feel and not much work needs to be done if your a simple guy like me, that exhaust sounded nice, quite yet had enough to it that you could let people know your around. I might look into this model or a future version of the S1000 or ill go with something else from BMW.
New bikes seem to be coming out every year, it might take me that long to get the money together for a new bike... I'll be upgrading from a CFMoto Leader 150cc. CFMoto are another company that I like, they are new but making a big show here in Australia, I have their full range at my local bike shop 5 minutes from my house.
If I ever come to london, I'm definetly buying an XR
Nice bike, very nice!
Yup. I spotted the 'RJ' that appeared on the dash from 0:18 and onwards.
Nice touch baby.
Kind of remind me of the ''fact'' that we like people for their quality but we love them for their defects ;)
Yeah what a great bike man, look awesome must be a ton of fun!
-Little
I like the look's, might be something i look in to in the future.
Being that you enjoyed the riding position of the bike, I wonder if you might enjoy the raspy, lusty twin of the Multistrada a bit more maybe? I for one would enjoy seeing you test ride a new 2015 Multi. Great video as always RJ!
Gorgeous bike!
Thanks for that RJ. Tried the R1200RS which fills the same niche as the XR with boxer twin and shaft drive. Too lairy. My 2015 R1200R isn't the fastest. Handles brilliantly and comfy. But is also fun, which is why we ride.
better than Tracer? you did a very good job on this video, loved the way you end it
I love the random RJ that pops up.lol good on you man
I saw BaronVonGrumble ride this and it looks and handles amzingly
Awesome bike
seems super smooth
Love my 2018 XR .....
The XR is a good bike 😂. I love mine. Not boring though.
Hey rj, I drove the s1000xr yesterday. Test ride. What a great bike, it's so fast and has so much torque in sixth gear, really mind blowing. I love this bike but it's quite expensive...
Best ending statement!
Thank you for the great video. I would like to request a review of the BMW R1200RS if possible. Your review videos are some of my favorites :)
Last words were beautiful :) !
Well Said Sir !!!
The XR looks great, IMO, and from
Reviews it is Great...tho, also...
It may make someone feel like they're
"Driving" an M3 vs. "Riding" One !!!
;)
Epic! Thank you RJ.
Ahh the Traditional Throttle Flirt, gotta love it :)
Perfection is boring. Love it.
It's not perfection - the clutch lever is not adjustable, the screen only has two fixed positions, the pannier frames aren't integrated into the body and the engine buzzes (annoyingly for many) at around 5k which is about 70 mph so ideal cruising speed for many. But it has its own raspy character (unless you're only used to singles and v-twins) and sings like an F1 engine, complete with snap, crackle and pops on the overrun. The ergonomics are halfway between the GS and Multistrada, and are just sublime. It's fuelling is excellent as is slow speed balance and steering agility. The quickshifter is excellent, far better than on other BMW's that I've owned. There's a lot of tech on the bike and as mentioned in the video it can crush continents. Some will prefer a GS, Multistrada, SRR or S1000R, and vive la difference. I've owned those bikes and for me the S1000XR is probably the best solution for my needs and its minor irritants can largely be quickly and relatively cost efficiently rectified.
I was in London yesterday was so hoping to see you but I didn't ;(
Really lovin' the "RJ" on the speedo :D
Went to the BMW dealership close by to look at that bike on friday...Got there and they were closed..Bummed Out the rest of the day.
That's a stunning sounding bike like its rr brother. I prefer the look of the RR though but I wouldn't mind if this was on my driveway ;)
I want an RJ T-SHIRT with the "Perfection is boring" Cit. Please 🤗
NIce to see your video and opinion on this bike, RJ. While a number of reviewers have done this bike and raved about it, it does seem to split opinions. The looks are controversial to say the least - I don't like it at all, reminds me of the older V-Strom - and the price is typical BMW, but I personally just can't find myself liking this bike.
7:15 considering the turning circle and higher position, is it a better bike for filtering than the s1000r? I know it's heavier, but the turning circle seems to be smaller, isn't it?
Awsome bike
Loved this video! Great thoughts on the bike
Rj you should try make an intro and involve the grom that would be cool
Was this yesterday RJ, and were you in Oxford Street/Picadilly circus around 4pm - 5pm?
Great Vid, thanks for the review. I found it interesting you said "perfection is boring." I had a bit of suspicion that this bike would be "Honda like" and kind of boring as apposed to an Aprilia Tuono v4 which is less refined but rich in character.
Great vid as always - I love that bike and will have to add it to my never ending bike shopping list - once I move house :)
RJ sound looks like street car racing bravo but i like more Nuda R is Legend Unique respect.
I rode the S1000R then rode the S1000XR I then ordered the S1000R as it was more thrilling... The XR is an amazing machine and wouldnt discourage anyone from parting with their ££ for one :-)
Was it the entrance to richmond park? Enjoyed it so much during my only week of riding. Unfortunately wasnt riding such a beaut machine(
What u think RJ,BMW s1000xr or ducati multistrada !🤔
Not sure about the beak, but guess they needed a totally different look. However if its as good to ride as you say, then that can be forgiven. I know you say it will take sales from other BMW bikes but thats probably a good thing as BMW still get a sale. and they also will take sales that could have gone to other Adventure style bikes such as Triumph, Ducati, KTM etc...Thanks for the review...
Interesting RJ did it lack fun off the line? I rode the GSX-S1000 it also seemed to do everything perfect. But I found it, well boring might be too strong a word, just did not excite me until it was pulling speeds frowned upon. I like the MT09 brute force from zero which others don't like...thanks for keeping me waiting on the "But" :) - I may take one out for a spin..
Cheers
RSMF-*RI*
Mr B
Mr & Mrs B's Brain Dump It was perfect everywhere, it just did not have the wow/scare factor, for example, in second gear acceleration, the R would pop a wheelie, the anti wheelie will bring it down (eventually) and as soon it is down it will say sod this and pop another while at the same time you are trying to control the bucking beast, the xr just gets on with it and as if sayig: Is that all you got ;)
Ahh as I thought, same with the GSX-S, bikes with this much power should point skyward 1st, 2nd, 3rd + with a full twist. But I find more often than not, gearing and mapping has been 'tailored' to keep them 'safe' ?
RoyalJordanian but you said this one still had the break in limiter on it. right?
I guess that's a rev limiter though? this should go crazy from 2,000! But who knows what a break in limiter does?
Mr & Mrs B's Brain Dump I thought it was because the bike was new, you know when you do a top end rebuild you are supposed to 'break in' the bike, I just guessed it would control this with some advanced technology.
Saw one of these at South Ealing yesterday looks the part
RJ must be putting his man sweat in these stock exhausts to make them sound so good XD.
MyRandomLife247 maybe it's the corn kernels cooking on roll-on and escaping on roll-off?
MyRandomLife247 he takes not one but several baseball cards and he puts them against the sprockets :)
Nice video, I've been waiting for a "review" of this sort (if you can call it that way) about this bike. I own an s1000r, very similar to the one you have, white with bits of carbon here and there.
After watching your video, you made me curious about the bike, and will certainly do a test drive to know if the result is similar to the one you get. Cheers and well done.
The best ending ever!
video quality is very good. what camera you were using for the shoot?
In terms of it stealing sales form the GS, surely and BMW sale is a win for them, and the fact it has a shared platform with the s1000, would make it cheaper to make?
Loved the video as usual. I have one question, is your BMW and this one automatic transmission? I might be blind but I didn't see a clutch.. Haha.
yeah baron loved it too
I saw this at the Tokyo motorcycle show.but I think I'd rather try the R
RJ did you take this out to Waltham Cross outside Enfield at any point? Saw one riding around there last week.
Very well said.
Looks great, is it yours..?
I saw one 2 Days ago and i think its a pretty nice bike
