2021 BMW S1000R Tested! | Have BMW Done Enough??

  • The BMW S1000R has been completely redesigned for 2021 and is based on the current S1000RR Sports Bike. Unlike the S1000RR however BMW have decided not to chase the 200 HP club and have instead concentrated on weight loss and handling. But have they done enough??

    Chops, I know it's a review and you have to say it, but 'weight loss' in a can and wheels really mean nothing on a road bike, if you have an H2 you get used to it, S1000R, you get used to it, a road bike is a platform to not think about the bike, but the experience and journey it takes you on. I have the old S1000R, and yes, I'm dribbling at the new one after your review, the new engine, the big led screen, the key fob, and design upgrades is huge, makes my bike look old school:)

    I went to compare the S1000R and the streetfighter this weekend. I have 15 S1000R, and i'm not buying the new one because;
    - I don't like the quality of it, it doesn't look that premium even compared to my old bike.
    -There's only 2 modes for the suspension, the old one has 3.
    -I find the opposite of what's been told here; the old one makes a load more noise and feels a lot more raw and I like that.
    -It's not worth paying 10 grand extra for only a minor "upgrade".
    -On the new RR the engine rattles more then on my old single R, which is odd.
    -Don't like the design of the front end much, the rear is nice but so was the old one.
    That being said, i've not ridden it because it was pissing down with rain.

    Finally a TFT screen.
    LC: "It's a little bit ........ buzzy". I loved the look of the old bike but it was indeed bad for the buzz through the foot pegs and handlebars. Because of this I didn't buy one. I have an in-line 4 cylinder bike. It's silky smooth. BMW needs to sort out the buzz problem. If they did it would be a fantastic bike, with a shift cam engine.
    No mention of the new Speed Triple RS.

      Exactly. There were major complaints about the vibration in the S1000XR model YEARS ago. All they did was put more rubber on the bar mounts.
      For example, the Z900 or GSX-S1000 engines are butter.

When I fitted my black R&G radiator guards to my RR it improved the look of the front of the bike quite a bit.

    Great review chops. Not keen on that grey colour option though. The bars look a little too low for my liking [kind of defeats the purpose of a naked]. You will have to re-test the V4 Streetfighter [my favourite] since now it is Euro 5 compliant but more importantly they have re-tuned the motor and max torque is now 2000 rpm lower in the rev range [at 9500 rpm now], so it should make a big difference. Looking forward to the new Tuono review [hopefully]. Those that have tested it say it is simply the best of all the supernakeds. Take care mate and ride safe.

    Thanks for the review. I recently started following your channel and quite enjoy it. I’m getting back into riding after a long period away from it, so I’m watching reviews to decide which bike to buy. I think it would be very helpful to discuss cost of maintenance in your reviews, as well as warranties as you did in this video. I’ve been turned off by some bikes when I discovered how much shorter the service intervals were and the relative cost of those services. Every bike should have radiator guards, it’s such a cheap part to provide much needed protection. I’d rather see frame sliders and radiator guards than a lot of the unnecessary electronics on bikes. Thanks again, I enjoyed the video.

    A radiator guard would cost 20 (whatever your currency is) if fitted from the factory. The simple fact that they don’t put it stock tells a lot about how companies see us. F...ers.

    Loved it!
    Not panicked about the lack of a shift cam but their argument against it is hollow, insofar as not needing the power. If that's that case, why put it in the GS. From a weight saving perspective however, I can see where they're coming from.
    All that aside, it's a pretty awesome machine. Electronics are the way forward now as that tech I making its way from the race circuit. TBF, I think mine have saved me from some silly errors. They were there but not super intrusive.
    As always, Chops, awesome review, dude. Thanks for the vid.

      The GS has shift cam to give it a top end. The RR has shift cam to give it a bottom end. The R has got the bottom end cams from the RR already.

    Lets be honest, in the uk all you need is around 100 bhp and 70 odd ft of torque and you can have fun before you reach the next set of lights. I came from a Ducati S2R 1000 which was a superb engine, not a single problem in over 50k miles. Never really been in to i4's but when all Yamaha fans went to the MT range, they forgot all about the FZ8 😁 What a bargain that is now. A capable fast rider will keep up with an average rider on a more powerful bike. Point being bhp and torque figures doesnt equate to a faster bike.

    Amazing bike, I have one. Regarding the buzzyness you referred to, I’m sure removing the weighted bar ends for the guards you have on are a factor. They come out of the factory weighted despite massive effort to reduce the bike’s overall weight for a reason. Try going back to the oem bar ends.

    Great review Chopsy, though a shame you had a stone through the rad that stopped play! It was enjoyable watching the torture of having to ride pillion, though, but you did get to spoon Steve Plater, so there is that!
    Does highlight a glaring problem on modern machine's with massive radiators, that manufacturer's really ought to be putting on a basic rad protector and not sell one as an extra. If that happened to my bike I would be fuming!

    Unfortunately for the BMW, the V4 1100 Factory Tuono is out there (much more exciting), the 2021 Speed Triple RS 11XX is out there (sounds better and looks better) and the V4 Street Fighter Stealth is out there. All of these three have Ohlins and Brembos. The whiny inline 4 of the Beemer lacks passion as has crappy American made Hayes brake calipers. Another fail.

    Some manufacturers can get rid of all the buzz in the bars/seat/pegs. Consider Z900 for instance. One counterbalance shaft in the motor and absolutely butter. Just so stinking smooth.
    So with BMW with this very short stroke engine config to fail to cancel the vibration is really inexcusable. I bet they don't have a counterbalance shaft in it.

    As an XR Owner I have to say I'm disappointed the R is basically still an inferior version of the same bike. All RR and R owners eventually end up at the XR, R owners more so. With it still running the same XR engine there is literally just no point. As an aside to the rad woes, first mod on my XR along with a front fender extender, with a gigantic rad from top to bottom, it is a MUST.
