Enjoy!
Thanks for the great review on this new BMW. I love the look of the new front end on this bike. I hated the lopsided ugly lights on the previous model.
No problem! It's a great looking bike and I think it looks really clean and smart. Personally I quite liked that asymmetric front end but I know a lot of people hated it!
Never watched any of your videos before. Have to say I'm impressed. Non serious funny and some aggressive riding. Tops 🤟
Thank you! Appreciate it. There are too many people not having fun on these things haha
Another top quality video, but I wouldn't expect any less on this channel!
Glad you enjoy it!
I sort of agree its a bike you love to try but are happy to give back, probably get bored. I had a VFR 750 years ago that was so good I can't remember riding it. Does that make sense
Yes! Definitely agree. They are incredible bikes, but there's no real emotion to riding them... it's just faultless. Fine if you want a track weapon, or reliable commuter, but not if you want a toy bike to de-stress from work!
I just subbed, I'm your 1,000th subscriber LOL
Amazing!!! Thank you so much haha. Finally!!
The old squinty eyed headlights were not a great draw but they really worked on this bike imho, giving it attitude. I rode a 2019 previous gen. After 15 minutes I had to stop and get off because I found the vibes through the pegs and bars too much. I am used to riding Triumphs and Hondas which don't suffer. Such a shame BMW can't make this bike vibe free otherwise it would be perfect, but not in grey with yellow. The red white and blue is the best colour scheme. The engine is simply awesome.
I agree! It wasn't the prettiest front end with the asymmetric Headlights but it gave it an identity! I didn't find the 2018 onward bikes to be too bad, but the ones before that were really bad!
@@SamVBikes OMG. They must have been truly awful. How come other manufacturers can produce pretty much vibe free bikes or bikes with minimal which can be put down to character, but BMW on the other hand seems to struggle? Bizarre.
It's odd isn't it! Unless the test riders at some manufacturers have ridden vibey bikes for years and its killed the nerve endings... so they can sit on a misfiring single cylinder and think its smooth haha!
@@SamVBikes LoL. Such a shame as I really love the previous gen S1000R with the squinty light. I know their XR suffered from vibes as well. Maybe some of us are more sensitive than others? But if you have ridden bikes that aren't vibes and then jump on one such as a BMW that is then you really notice it. I wouldn't buy one simply for this reason. After several hours your hands, fingers, wrists, soles of feet would be numb and tingling. Not for me. KTM bikes have lots of 'character' ie vibes but these are totally different to the really unpleasant vibes/buzz I have experienced riding the S1000R and I guess afflicts the XR as well. I like the look of the new S1000RR, gorgeous bike but with vibes, no. The old squinty eyed S1000RR didn't work in the looks dept for me. Anyway thanks for your replies. Good luck with your channel. Might get Monomoto trackers on the strength of your review for my bikes. Many thanks.
@@alexmorgan3435 Agreed! I think we must all have different sensitivity to it but you're right, I'm surprised how different the vibes can be on different bikes. Some are vibey but not annoying!
Thank you very much! I really recommend the Monimoto - Doing a vid in a few weeks as more of an actual demo of its capabilities so might be worth waiting for that if you're on the fence. Thanks for watching and the comments! Ride safe
Nice one Sam, I do like these bikes, for me it would have to be the M sport colours, I can't stand the primer grey as it looks like the skipped a process at the factory. What an amazing bit of kit though.
Agreed! The grey definitely grew on me, but the M sport colours look so much better!
@@SamVBikes it's possible that working in the automotive paint trade has something to do with my opinion. Vehicles in that colour aren't usually finished. Have a good week mate 👍
@@michaelmclarney1994 Haha very true! And buying one in that colour, you'd have to suffer the endless jokes of "When are you taking it back to get painted mate?" haha! You too mate!
@@SamVBikes too right, I wouldn't live it down, especially as we do bike colour matching, and supply the Paint for the FS3 BSB team! 😂
A very “clinical” machine indeed. And I come from a Ducati to the s1000r.
But, it’s still a wonderfully fun bike to hoon around on.
Its an awesome bit of kit! And I wouldn't complain about having one in the garage! Thanks for watching
Not much is 'clinical' when you are using the bike for what it is designed for. It's too good for ordinary use, but if you are pushing things to the limit, you demand everything this bike has to offer. When you are going 160-180mph, the last thing you want is something less than super clinical. Your attention is on accuracy with the threat of death during each maneuver. That is what the bike is designed for, the adrenaline junkies.
Had one for seven months. Got rid because I couldn't use more than 40 percent of the power. Mind you I am 67 years old.
It is worryingly fast isn't it!
Not sure why manufacturers keep offering (only) keyless ignition. Just give me a key…do not need or want the complexity.
Agreed. It makes even less sense when the full bike isn't keyless!
@@SamVBikes yes, the partial keyless thing makes little sense.
I like the grey, reminds me of a Jet fighta!!! Beautiful Bike, I get mine this week in red. Didnt get the headlight pro so not sure what the standard headlight looks like.
Haha yeah true! I quite like it too! Congrats on the new bike! Hope you enjoy it
Wait what the heck, the gas cap isn’t keyless too?! You’ve just removed any rationale for having keyless to begin with. If you need the key to start the bike, enable the steering lock, or the gas cap, then having keyless on the other two is pointless. Really strange BMW didn’t make it all keyless. It’s become a huge selling point on my F900R.
Bingo!! It's such an odd concept! Either have everything keyless, or nothing!
You genuinely seemed to enjoy the brakes more than the go on this one, Sam! 😂
Your reaction on the power suggested it was perhaps just too clinical at what it does?
Hit the nail on the head there David! It was an awesome machine, did everything sooo so well... but there was no theatre to it, no involvement.
On a track when you want a precision rocket to shave seconds off lap times, it would be incredible, but if, like me, you like a hooligan bike for the weekend, I don't think this is the one you want!
My C400GT has keyless，and the tank lock is keyless too
Great! My 1290 SAS is the same
Trading my amazing gen 2 in for this next week, took out the demo bike and was sold on it 🤣😂
Haha! Love that 😂
Problem I have with bikes, you're paying what £12-20k for this S1000R stock / specced out? Yet the steering lock is just as good as my old Lexmoto 125..
Very good point.. it seems that they can be broken with a bit of a kick and it's just accepted that bike security is down to the owner bolting on a load of chains and disc locks. Really not good!
Can we get a hour long repeating clip of 7:44 to 7:46 please. Ta.
Anything for you
Hello，may I ask，why u choose the keyless，but the tank lock need the key to open ？thx ！
Hello, This was a test ride, not my bike! I like bikes that have keyless everything. Pointless to have keyless ignition when you need the key to open the tank! Thanks for watching
1000 subs looming large. So you'll have to take a ride on an S1000RR as a special video
Haha been waiting for that for a while! Starting the channel in lockdown wasn't the smartest idea! Don't worry... way ahead of you 😉
@@SamVBikes Get in!!! I've Got a serious eye on the RR. I am struggling at the thought of spending so much money on a bike though.
It shocked me at how usable it was... riding most sports bikes, my wrists ache, my back starts to ache etc.. but the RR was so comfy! But yeah it's a lot of money! Unless you can get a good deal 2nd hand
Hi, how do you like the Knox gloves? Notice that you don’t always use them.
Hi! Yes I really like them. They are comfortable, look cool, and warm enough for most days. Not waterproof though! - Or at least I don't think they are due to breath-ability.
I own quite a few pairs because I have a tendency to buy gloves I don't need haha!
The Knox, and more recently the Goldtop gloves are my summer go-to's. The Dainese, and Gerbing's are my touring/winter gloves as they are warmer and I don't mind them getting beaten up a bit! Then a few misc ones I rarely wear anymore!
Hi Sam,
Thank you so much for the quick reply. Also have the Knox and Goldtop. I like the Knox too but still getting used to them after my well-worn Hein Gericke’s. Haven’t used the Goldtops - they feel bulky/thick in comparison. Have a pair of Segura’s if riding in cooler weather. Enjoy your videos, by the way :)
Very nice! My Goldtop's took a little while to wear in but they are definitely up there with my favourites so hopefully yours will feel better once they are a bit more flexible. I really love my Dainese Corbin gloves but the lining has come away inside and it drives me insane! haha! Thank you very much!
How's the fuel consumption sir@
I saw low 40's on this ride I believe, around 43mpg
Reliability is the main reason I'm having a hard time considering a European bike. They are like that 10 of 10 drop dead sexy swimsuit model you dated but she was unstable with alot of baggage and you can't depend on her. And the Japanese bikes are like the cutie who is regular good looking girl who is just dead reliable and always has your back no matter what and very stable with no baggage. I just wish Europeans could make a reliable bike like the Japanese because they definitely make the best looking bikes. Then you have American bikes that are ugly and unreliable so we don't even talk about American bikes they basically don't exists as far as I'm concerned when it comes to bikes I will buy.
Haha! I enjoyed the comparisons! Also agree with you. I'd say the German biked are probably the best put of the Euro bikes but not faultless like you say
