Cruise Control is game changing, if u kno u kno. And don’t forget that gas gauge also. People say oh u don’t need one, why not. What car doesn’t have a gas gauge.
You mentioned adding a heated gear harness for riding in colder weather. I've got a '24 S1KRR with the M package as well and there's an SAE connector on the left side, just below the seat. It's attached to the frame.
For me it was the ergo. My wrist hurt a lot and this bike might be the only real sport bike that is comfortable for me. Took it to the track for two days without issue. I ride it to work as much as I can and it hasn’t been a problem.
I love the bike bro. I was between this and the 2024 ZX10R. I chose the ZX10R but it could have gone either way really. I wanted black on black so that was that. The cruise control is a must. If I ever buy another bike it must have cruise. I am spoiled now lol. Great video man!!!!
People that say you don’t need cruise control have never written a bike with cruise control. Once you do, it’s miserable riding a bike without it. I use mine constantly through a ride.
Great Video, I have been a Panigale rider most of my ridding life, both V2 and V4 but 1 year ago I got my first S1000RR. I love it. I think that the S1K at its core DNA is a touring Bike. That makes it better than any Panigale for long rides and at slow speeds. Panigales feel like race/track bikes Horrible for long rides n slow speeds very aggressive ergonomics. I have both S1000RR n Panigale and depending how long is my ride n where I am going I chose one over the other. For every day and commuting hands down S1000RR
Ducati is an amazing brand. The only thing that prevents me from owning one. Is the engine heat. Especially if your riding in extreme hot weather, with gear one. That engine heat would make it, alot worse. People say the V4 is an awesome bike. But it would cook your legs, sitting in traffic.
Just got a 2023 S1000R. Step up from my MT-09. BMW does a great job with creature comforts and I love the quick shifter. My 2022 Street Glide Special is a great cruiser but there nothing like the adrenaline rush of a litre bike.
Good to know. I was considering this bike and a CBR1000RR before I got my Super Duke R. I’m 6’2” as well with long legs-part of the reason why I’m happy with my SDR.
I agree, being 6' tall, most comfortable bike. most other bikes lock my legs in because of the gas tank shape and I feel cramped. The features won me over as well.
I got the premium in red, only difference is rear sets, I have forged wheels, not carbon. Difference was 5k in price so I went with the passion red. Unbelievable bike!
Ducati has heated grips but you have to pay extra. Even the multimedia system and navigation software are also accessories but in bmw it is standard 😊. Even I am waiting for Ducati to add cruise control in the bike. I am not into supersports due to the riding position (I once tried zx10r and it is very committed) so I thought of naked bikes . Currently have a street triple rs but I want to upgrade to either s1000r sport or street fighter v4 .

💯 percent agree with all you said. I owed a 2019 panegale V4s with full akro exhaust and the Ducati tune that bike was just stupid powerful is was way to too much for the track even let alone the canyons.
One other thing I wanted to say is that, if out of all the bikes you had a choice for, including the Ducs, Yamaha and Suzuki hayabusa(even though you had one and gave reasons as to why you got it); yet you chose the bmw s1000RR over the hayabusa and all other bikes, that says alot about how comfortable, reliable and creature comfort oriented the s1000RR must be over all the other bikes; when oriented towards a tall person !
I love my 2021 S1000RR m package. The dealer is nagging me to upgrade to the new m package model but I don't think the new bike is as good value as my 2021 - 10,000 trouble free kms up on it now. Back in 2021 you got everything as standard on the m package but now a lot of the goodies are options - the biggest of which is the carbon wheels. I found it hard to decide between it and a Panigale V2. V4's are an astronomical price here in Ireland but I did eventually get a new Panigale V2 Bayliss in 2022 in addition to my BMW. I have other bikes too which means I nearly have a bike to suit all occasions and moods.
I can say you influenced me when choosing between Ducati Panigale v4s and BMW s1000rr. I’m not tall as you, Im only 5’3. And also, BMW s1000rr is the only I can reach. And also factoring the heat from Ducati.
Brakes brakes brakes, there’s brembo, then there’s brembos on R RR or XR’s. I ride a second gen thousand XR, my second. The thousand motors are the most trouble free dependable motor of all the super sports…
The fact is all about preference. The bike doesn't make the rider. It's the rider that makes the bike. Every bike has their specialty feature, and if we could afford to have multiple bikes, I'm sure we would have various brands because every manufacturer is producing a beautiful bike.
Just to add to my last comment , I have an Aprilia RSV4 factory and a Ducati V2 Panigale corse. And every time I ride those bikes, I'm extremely satisfied, but would I trade them in for anything else? No, would I buy anything else? Yes. A BMW S1000, Honda Firebkade SP, and Kawasaki 10xRR.
I am about to order this bike! I want it for its uniqueness because here in Hong Kong, according to BMW, there are less than 10 of the 2023 models sold! I personally like its colour scheme much more than any Japanese - in fact i was happy to buy the ZX-4rr but I can’t stand the green colour!!! Btw the ZX-4rr weighs 189kg vs 194 for the BMW - I have not ridden a 1 litre leader bike all my life - do you think I should be ok? There’s a lot of busy slow traffic in Hong Kong
I would even start with the Fuel gauge!!! A friend of mine got V4 SP2 Streetfighter, and last time we rode he left in the middle of the trip because he wasn't sure on the gas level...$50K bike
Have you ridden a Speed Triple? It’s not a super sport but I think it’s the best naked for the street on planet earth. I’m 6ft 1 and they fit me well. Triple motor is the best of all worlds in my opinion; and the sound 🤤.
I would EXPECT a top tier ($$$) "street bike" to at minimum, have a fuel gage! I mean come ON, Ducati!! 🤷♂, shheesh!! The gorgeous V4S more "track" focused, I guess? Idk.
Love my Gen 3 gsx1350 full titanium Yoshi exhaust sound. Quickshift heaven. Ergos are sick. Ride 9 hrs to visit the kid's, no problems. I'm 6'1" & 65 years old. Beemer does look 🔥 tho. One day?
What a STUPID NOT GOOD ENOUGH reason you didn't get the Ducati! LMAO jokes pal............cruise saves that thumb on long rides! sweet ride ya got! Gonna track it?
Actually, Katana, the new 2024 Panigale will have cruise control, but it WILL NOT have a gas gauge and NO heated grips...lol...go figure...lol..and even if they did have or include heated grips, they won't include a gas gauge...so it's a NO GO for me on the ducati Panigale.....BMW engineers must be geniuses or Ducati engineers must be incompetent...lol...lol..

It's a sport bike made for one thing going fast , if u want comfortable buy a car
@@gregsmith9470it does go fast. But why be uncomfortable when you can be comfortable. That doesn’t make sense.
