I personally love that headlight and front end. I bought a Tuono V4 Factory last week and I’m kinda wishing I’d gone for the BMW already. As bikers we are never satisfied 😂
Agreed. I love the front end.
It was a close decision for me too! The BMW is the better bike in many ways, but that V4 is magical. I also couldn't decide, but I went for the BMW first. Now I've managed to add the Tuono to my garage, as I couldn't get that sound out my head. It's a great second bike. Both have their pros and cons, like all bikes. I think the mt10 or super duke are probably the best single garage bikes, if you can only have one.
@@lordgibbness funnily enough I’ve just come from an MT10 and a SuperDuke after that, and I wholeheartedly agree. Fortunately, I now have a little Grom as a second bike, so the Tuono can stay tucked away for the winter.
I'd love to have this problem
@@greyanaroth I try not to let it get me down.
I was dreaming about this bike since it came out..seen all the reviews here on RUclips. I bought it few weeks ago, and i couldn’t be more happier. It’s a special bike perfect for road riding. Like you said “ mate it’s a missile “
It is soooo quick
Always enjoy the content you’ve created around your S1000R and looking forward to more👏 Personally I kinda like the headlight. There are some lights I can’t stand, like any of the Yamaha MT’s. But I’m never the person‘s opinion you want with this because I find the headlights of KTM, like the one on my 890R quite nice. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Cheesy but so true, lol. Okay Rye keep up the great work. Oh yeah, would love to see you review some of those bikes you mentioned you hadn’t road yet. Until next time, ride safe and have fun!
Good video, I have a 2022 BMW f900r and thinking of changing to one of these next year. Thanks for the information.
Great video mate! Good points well made and enjoyed this style of video 😁🔥
Thanks! 😁
I bought a new KTM SDR in 2020 and tbh I can't get enough of it, it's so fecking sexy in every way. When I park it in town there are always admirers flocking around it. Yes, I have spent thousands on it also in the looks and performance departments but wow, what a bike. Roll on next summer!! Oh btw, my other bike is a BMW R1250R, another very underated and very capable bike in the right hands! Thanks for the vids, good work.
Headlight looks amazing. Love it!
Test rode this too... loved it!
Great video. I struggle to get over 37mpg. I love the front end each to their own ✊
Another really great video mate .very interesting to hear your thoughts on your motor bike. .I am loving your channel .I am really into my motor bikes. Here's to the next video.from Dan.m.🚴♀️🚴♀️🚴♀️🚴♀️🚴♀️🚴♀️👍👍👍👍
Much love thanks appreciate the feedback! 🙌🏼
That's OK mate.love the videos and content .keep them coming.heres to the next ones.from Dan.m🚴♂️🚴♂️🚴♂️🚴♂️🚴♂️🚴♂️👍👍👍👍👍👍
Cracking bike, took me one look at it to know it was the one! Oddly, I too find it more comfortable than anything else I’ve ever ridden. Shame about your navigation experience, I find it impeccable
I have the exact same bike in grey and I’ve absolutely fallen in love with it more and more every day. When bmw announced the m1kr i thought I would be disappointed that I had the “lower hp” version but i would buy it all over again I ride it every single day I don’t own a car and the thing makes me happy in rain or on a dry day. BMW really refined this thing and the head light was one of my highlights I hated that funky robot or insect look I wanted a subtle mature looking naked
Honest video , i have had mine just over a year 71 plate . Agree about how quiet it is no thunder , even thou i had the Akrapovic slip on still quiet . I really like the headlamp but i do understand it's not everyones cup of tea . There was a software update which i had down on my last service 2 months ago which ironed out a fuelling problem . I have not had any issue with the sat nat always gets me to my planned route . The app is brilliant tells you when the abs kicked in etc . Don't think the 2023 is gonna temp me away from mine , love the black but i have not even got close to full power 120 on a private road was enough for me but it is so much fun and the delivery is spot on with the quick shift . 165 BHPis more than enough for me .
Another great video, keep them coming. I'm close to 8K miles on my Gen 3 SKR and understand all the points you've raised. I sorted the sound, cheaply by comparison, by swapping the standard end-can for an Akra stubby. I've never had a problem with connectivity (Packtalk Bold + Samsung A71) but the turn by turn guidance is never going to match Goggle maps. It's unbelievably comfortable and it handles amazingly. All in all no regrets here either!
Thanks!!
Hi Paul I have a GEN 3 SKR as well and have been considering getting an Akra or an Arrow. What made you go for the Akra and which model did you get - have you noticed any change in fuelling how has the bike run since the Akra install ?
@@carllewis1691 all the slip-ons will be fine all the restrictions are in the big muffler under the bike...
@@carllewis1691 I've only changed the end-can to an Akra GP stubby otherwise its a stock exhaust system. Sounds great, and absolutely no change to fuelling. I went for that end-can because I didn't want my panniers to melt, seen some burn because the stock exhaust was too close.
I tried a bike of this model. It was astonishing to ride. Didn’t felt lesser because of the quite exhaust but the headlights wasn’t appealing to me at all. Instead I went for the XR. I know, it’s not the same. It’s not a sports bike and it’s not an adventure bike like BMW says, but nevertheless it is a well made mix of the two , it’s a great bike👌
Good overview mate cheers. Seriously considering this as my next bike. The headlight on the older model was even worse wasn’t it like a boz eyed ogre. I think these look better at least it’s symmetrical 😅
I have the same bike and love it and I came from a triumph street triple.
I find the navigation to work really well so it might just be your phone connection.
Great video!
Two questions for you,
- This red one has the Sport package? I have been looking into one and thought sport meant the other color and bronze subframe?
- Where did you purchase the matching red pillion?
Thanks mate!!
I agree, it is too good to excite
The headlight assembly does a fantastic job during nighttime riding. Almost a 10/10! Do you look at it whilst riding? Hell no! So the only people who would be concerned with it are image conches peps. All standard in-line 4’s are a little bland unless they are an R1. Me, coming from a life of Superbikes the seating position is very upright and relaxing. Keep up the great stuff mate. 👍😎🇦🇺
Yh man All fair comments, headlight sucks.
Thanks for watching
@@BikesofRye yh mte I agree money spent well, mechanicaly excellent, and suppose its a bit of art int it that headlight. Lol.
Lovely bike man 😍
I added raisers on the handlebar. Now conform is better but I lost the good handling. Sometimes I think maybe streetfighter was a better deal but when I open my garage I change my mind immediately 😁
Nice yeah still mind blowing this bike
I have a gen4 z1000 2018 and thinking of changing to the grey s1000r but the more I watch reviews like this it kind of makes the z more desirable
Nice Vid, do you miss the 765RS? Would you go back to 1? Would u class the bmw as an upgrade over the 765RS? Im thinking the RS just doesn't have quite enough power???
This bike deserves more love which is not getting. I wouldn't wait one year or two, if I were you. BTW, what's wrong with the headlight? Why is everyone fond of those monster/transformer look alike headlights now a days is on every super nakeds? Can't just leave BMW s1000r to be the only one left with a decent looking headligt?
I like the headlights.
amazing bike. I have the hockenheim silver version really really fun to drive.
In that colour it stands out a little more too
Love mine. 👍
I had the S1000R for a year and a half, loved it initially it was like my old R1 with motocross handlebars, however, I soon realized I shoulda got the more dangerous KTM superduke with track pack and the nanny wheelie control removed. Here I am today just waiting to swap my sdr for a Triumph Rocket 3
I bought mine in May 21, the first sold at my dealership. Honestly, I couldn't ask for more- what a cracker. The headlight is marmite like the gen2, I like the gen3 light & not the gen2- horses for courses...
I vastly prefer the gen 3 to the gen 2. I don't mind the gen 3 headlight at all.
HI, how did u get your headlight so dark? tint vinyl?
I bought one last October & included the m package even though I didn’t really like it in white but wanted the extras, I fitted titanium headers which sounded great apart from the cold start 🤦the suspension is nowhere near as good as the streetfighter or tuono factory & quite a way down on grunt, but I loved the riding position & all the gadgets.
I may be tempted by the new black 1000m if I can get over parting with £24k. 🤷♂️
Check the power management for your nav/bmw app. I had exactly the same issue with beeline moto. Ready to give up on it I had a light bulb moment and stopped the phone from shutting down the beeline app. That sorted all issues.
Nice one!! Will give that a try
Got very same bike in red, same feeling , bit toy(ish) build , cold start damn loud (bit annoying) , riding in low speeds not really smooth (in my case compared to Kawasaki inline four), don't like front light much , but when I am on a bike , it is all forgotten :) She is really nimble , and nice for filtering in London , comfy and easy on weekend rideouts ,when it comes to mpg , hmm just checked and got about 34 mpg in London traffic, but I might be mistaken as I didn't bother with thorough "academic" approach , just based on one garage stop ( I never thought about it, I would buy smaller engine if that was a deal breaker of course)
Damn nice tint on headlight , is that tinted film or did you get full tinted headlight ?
So what the differences between Speed 1200 RS and this in your opinion? I'm curious as a owner of Speed 1200 :)
Bought my S1000R two months ago, and you're not alone having issues with the BMW Not Connected app. I've had the same issues with connectivity, to the extent that I've never received enough instructions from it to be able to comment on how good they might be. It's only ever fully recorded one ride as a map, despite knowing all the stats like distance travelled, speed, lean angle, etc. This is a shame, as the tech on the bike is otherwise bloody brilliant.
I love the styling. With the hunched look and wide flat bars it looks badass, as our American cousins might say. It has a "get out of my way" appearance. Regarding the headlight, it reminds me of the Gen 1 MT09 that I traded in for it. I much prefer it to the insectile Transformers look that is everywhere right now. With its DRL lit up, it has the appearance of an earlier generation sci-fi icon - Gort from "The Day The Earth Stood Still". 🤖
I may eventually get around to fitting an end can to mine, but right now Im enjoying the relative quietness.
As for performance, I'm enjoying the smootth, linear power. Very easy to live with, but Tron-like (continuing the sci-fi theme) mental acceleration and speed when you want it.
It's only been a couple of months, but I'm still very much in love.
Sup bro 👍🏻 id have to agree Rye aesthetically the S1000r isn’t exactly a looker imo well not nxt some of it’s competitors like the Superduke, Tuono, Streetfighter, Speed triple, but as a machine it’s definitely up there as an all rounder especially opening up the bike like you have. That said adding a few mods aesthetically you obviously can improve it whilst making it your own look forward to seeing what you have installed for it in the future ride safe bro 👊🏻
Always appreciate your comments! Got a few ideas over the winter months ready for next year's riding season. Maybe once they are done I may change my mind 😅
How did you find the brake lights and indicators in the same housing?
Can people Stop Complaining that their New bikes 'sound puny, has no sound at all etc etc'
we've known about Euro 5 Emission Laws and Noise Levels for 4 yrs now and still they go on...
I don’t think the SKR is plain looking but more room to mod, add a few parts, make it your own so it stands out from the rest. Mines a ‘16 and I’m always looking at what I’d like next, tuono is a strong contender, but when I’m on it….I’m not thinking about any other bike!!!!
Did your insurance go up when you told them about the exhaust and remap?
great vid. tbh if you bought a blingy, super sexy looking bike you would later regret it as it will never live up to the BMW S1000R performance, tech and overall quality. It isn't clinical it's excellent. it is designed to enjoy at the limit and keep you rubber side down. that's a big plus in anyones books, surely.
Good point on the way too quiet engine as standard, but I think with your full system on there it gives it some real character. Could probably fit a bigger rear sprocket so it spins up faster and gives you more of that sound :)
You're the kind of neighbor EVERYONE hates. Grow up. You don't need to have the loudest bike on the block to affirm your masculinity or get the attention of strangers that you obviously so desperately need.
@@generalyellor8188 how would you know? And are you everyone?
Would agree about headlight, my 890r isn't any better, lol......Aprilia tuono killed it with tuono though
Wish these nakeds just had something for the wind...
One big reasons fir considering a sportbike is keeping wind blast off......
Thought about s1000rr as well
The front headlight has definitely grown on me, I look at the mt10 great bike but the front headlights let it down in my opinion. I’ve had the s1000r and I thought it was a fantastic bike had the gen1 and gen2 loved them.
The Tuono, Streetfighter and Super Duke are literally the three top bikes in the genre so I'd recommend anyone shopping definitely ride those bikes. IMO the play for the S1000R is price, which may be important for some but I suspect most of the people shopping for a hypernaked aren't that price sensitive... comfort is also a benefit of the bike (especially relative to more aggressive riding position bikes like the Tuono), which would be a valid reason to buy if you really need a "comfortable hypernaked" (IMO they're a contradiction in terms but ymmv).
I'm a Ducati guy and like quirky power delivery... but I really enjoy riding the S1000RR even though it IS a very clinical bike... primarily because that powerplant is soo good. I found the S1000R was also clinical but lacked the top end to really wow me compared to the three above (or the RR). IMO it was in need of an update to compete with the top of the genre... but now with the M1000R I think BMW have a serious play, though it's still the least unique/premium looking of the class I think (even the MT10 has it's transformer thing going).
The speed triple is now 180bhp and the new m1000r is 200bhp so they’ve chucked themselves back in the mix
Same bike as you, I agree the exhaust is a little quiet as std & the front is improved massively with a puigi sport screen on but other than that the bike is awesome 😎
I am tempted with a little screen to be honest as I think the fly screen may just enhance its looks
@@BikesofRye I think it does & it also helps a lot at higher speeds 👍
You are living the good life , enjoy it
Thanks 😁
Here in Portugal the M1000R costs 23.8k; the S1000R equiped as close as possible to the M costs 20.6k. Meaning the M carries a 15% premium, which would make me sell my S and get the M in a heartbeat.
That seems reasonable and actually its similar here in the U.K
Should have gone for a Aprilia tuono v4, the engine alone is amazing, when I go to the BIKE SHED everyone loves the bike.
I love this bike.. but I’m buying the last model because those old light had character..
I prefer the looks of the gen1/2. I'm in the "I like the unhinged, asymmetric look" group.
So my concern with naked sport bikes is the possible lack of wind deflection over the rider. I was wanting to see myself at a bmw demo, but unfortunately the bike got crashed at a prior demo day. Would love to have a street bike with gobbles amount of low end without getting blasted by the wind.
Putting a deposit on the new 2023 spec bike as I think it's the only thing out there that has got the chance of topping the buzz I get from my remapped 220bhp Z H2. Can't wait to pick it up.
M1000R?
I know a thing or two about ugly headlights. Had one on a 2009 Suzuki Gladius. I hardly ever took pix of it from the front angle. When you're on your bike you don't see the headlight(s). It's a great bike and you love it! I'm hoping I win the Campisi BMW 😅🤣😄😇! Always enjoy your videos!
If you win that bike who are you going to get to model for the photos!! 🤣 you going to get yourself into a bikini?
@@BikesofRye 😄😄
@@BikesofRye preferably someone in a speedo banana hammock😇😄
The reason the navigation's stuck at the starting point is that your phone is in power saving mode. I had this issue and took me a little while to realise how to solve it.
Kind of getting in the market to replace my 2016 Speed. Really watching close the new Street coming next week.
Been told some exciting upgrades and specials coming for the Street
The head light is a big improvement to the pontoon eyes it had before
That is a fair comment actually
Good review, fair assessment I would say,, give it another 12 months though..got a feeling you will be itching for another bike.
You know I think you could be right
great video. Wich bike do you prefer, the street triple or this one ?
I genuinely find that hard to answer because there are things the S1000R does that blow my mind yet there are so many attributes missing that the Street offers. I'd say to look at and build quality the Street. To ride the S1000R. But there is more to it than that 🤷♂️
Looking to replace my 890 Duke r, but might wait until 2024.
Just bought a 2020 S1000RR last month and my first impression was how "souless" it is both in terms of sound and character compared to the Kawasaki Z900 that I traded in. On the other hand heated grips/cruise control/wind protection does improve riding experience big time which were my pain points when owning the naked bikes. But why am I still aching towards Tuono v4?😂
Funny you say that, I absolutely hate wind blasts on nakeds....came over from MX bikes and not used to being blasted everywhere, my bike is light too so doesn't help
Tuono, s1000rr or gsxr1000 (but no CC)
probably Aprilia and it's great price for base model......the motor sounds incredible although reliability isn't quite the BMW or Zook
Decisions, decisions
I don't like the headlight 2. But tbh, i'm very picky about the looks, and the only headlights that I really do like on a naked is the Streetfighter of Ducati or KTM Superduke. I have had the RS street triple, sold it and got myself a Aprili RS 660. Call me a stupid but I enjoy this bike way more than my last one. If nothing changes my next bike will be BMW S 1000 R or Superduke 1290 (over a year of 2)
You enjoy the RS660 way more than the 765RS? Ridden the RS660 think its a brilliant bike!
@@BikesofRye Yes, I enjoy the RS 660 way more than the STRS 765 I previously own. I can't put the finger on why, because the ST was nothing wrong with it, but I always had some kind of feeling as if I had made a wrong choice buying it, as if I was missing on something. As soon I have test ridden the RS 660 I could not get it out of my head anymore. It took me a year to really do it, but after a lot of thinking I sold my Triumph to buy the Aprilia. Main thing holding me back was the fact that I was going step down on power, that when it feels only natural to go up up an up lol. But the way this bike feels, sounds and makes power, I do not miss my Triumph at all.
Looks just like mine I bought in may!
Bought it mainly because it’s the only naked bike (?) on the market on which you have all 3 items:
Heated grips
Cruise control
Sat nav (in combination with app)
Love mine!
MT10 for me, yeah it’s no looker but the crossplane is such a gem.
I feel its about time Yamaha release a new R1 and an MT based off that
I much preferred the look of the previous gen squinty eyed headlight. I thought it really worked on the S1000R but not the RR.
I was so looking forward to riding one, a 2019 bike white, blue and red with 2k miles on it, but when I finally did I had to get off it after only 15-20 mins because of the buzz/vibes through the bars and pegs. I was so disappointed as the previous gen in white blue and red was a thing of beauty. There is no way I could have ridden it for a couple of hours let alone a day's ride in the saddle touring.
Does this newer gen suffer from buzz/vibes?
I love the look of the S1000RR but tbh it's way beyond my skill level and would be totally wasted on me, but still a brilliant bike. I reckon you need a ride on a SDR Beast 3.0. I rode one of these. An awesome bike, just a bit too mental for the roads, but loads of character and grin factor turned up to 12 out of 10.
Never been 100% happy with any bike, until after I sold it, then I think, maybe it wasn't that bad after all LOL
I'm not 100%happy with it,
Could be better but
I'm still gonna live with it
Still gonna carry on Ridin it,,,,,,,pretty much sums up me and the girlfriend 🤙
Absolutely brilliant!!
the bike would be cool if it had a decent headlight. not sure those mirrors help though
Premium ⛽️ always!
Man thank you honestly ❤
I have the XR and the RR. The R should be the Goldilocks option but the looks kill it for me..
Have you tried the r1250r? Whats your opinion on this bike ?
I just don't understand why so many ppl complain about the headlight, i find it absoluetly gorgeous and let's face it, the previous one was a disaster with its asymetric ugly look.
On the other hand I totally agree on its baseline sound, it's blend and muted but thanks to euro5 I guess...
Thanks for the feedback and drive safe ✌️✌️
My 2021 Ducati Monster plus is my (super?) naked and is fast enough for me. When I was buying my 2021 S1000RR m package I never really considered the R. My view was if your going to go for a bike that extreme and expensive you have to have all the bells and whistles so it was the (then) top of the line S1000RR. Its nearly as comfortable as my Monster on long journeys too.
What's your thoughts on the 890 duke r? It fits nicely in between the street triple and the s1000r in power & has stunning looks next to anything.
I have ridden the 890R and honestly the 765RS is a quicker bike in a straight line
The 890r is a giggle machine for canyons and twisties, it's kind of 1 trick pony like Neevsy says.....it does what it's intention was for very well
For longer rides, I think the stability of a bigger bike is welcomed....
890r is punchy and kinda wild, but handles incredible with excellent componets
Triumph would be a better all around in that same class
I have 890r but looking for something more "mature" and better in wind and longer day rides
That said they're are plenty of guys who love them and ride em daily
I'd be kinda bummed after the new M1000R will be coming out. The full on 200+hp s1000rr engine in it. Bare bones for about $21k here in the states, $26k fully tricked out. That's a lot of money but it's A LOT of bike.. I've read the press intro's on it, sounds amazing. Oh well, there's always the "latest greatest" coming out.
You don’t love it like you loved the RS. OG fan right here
Always remembered never forgotten ❤
You made a choice after only trying half the bikes in the class, you may have liked the MT10, Tuono or Superduke more.
I found the S1000R a bit bland, the Tuono too small, ended up on the Superduke, not intended in any of the inline 4s.
I think this bike has the best looking front end. I don't really like the the headlight on the v4s and speed triple 1200 rs
I guess it's subjective isn't it. Some will love the headlight
I think you will miss the triple, ride the Superduke. More fun on the streets ;)
I dunno, seems a BMW without shaft drive is like a day without sunshine...
I have a 2005 GSXR Hayabusa I am loaded with tech speedometer and a RPMs Gage that's it with one mode kill mode. 😢
.
M1000R will be interesting!
That's a definite
Sweet bmw
Oh yeah 😎
You could always swap things like the headlight and I'm sure there are lots of aftermarket kits for it. A screen for the front end might completely change the look.
Considering a screen and losing the mirrors
@@BikesofRye CRG LaneSplitters would look cool
Bro my height is 5.2 , can i ride this one??
5:50 at least BMW didn't do as bad with it's headlight as KTM with the new duke 990 wich makes that bike basicaly unsellable lol
If I may ask, what’s the difference between the S1000r and the M1000r?
The main difference is the M has the RR engine
@@BikesofRye Appreciate the response man, thanks for the quality content
The auto ISO or exposure was stressing me out.
Dark than light than dark than light.
Also i dont agree with the clinical comment as i assume you ride with DTC and ABS ON.
I know!!! It was pretty new camera at this point. Won't be making that mistake again
Get a ZH2 wicked mate
Yeah mate of mine has one and he rates it
What do you think of the upcoming M1000R… ?
The specs on it are ridiculous. With 200hp and geared to do about 165mph it's going to be an animal
How's that chain holding up?
Has the maintenance free chain seems OK?
Did you have to lube/adjust it at all?
@@homersimpson2963 adjustment yes but not had to lube it just keep it clean
I had gsx s1000 2019 and wanted to buy s1000r 2022 . Test rode one and did not like it as much.
i prefered the suzuki. Anyway end up buying 890 duke R perfect bike for the road. And people saying this and that is faster well bikes are not only about straight line. I belive the 890 duke r will destroy any bike on twists.
I test rode the 890R and will say its handling is unreal
Pretty sure 44 teeth went out and raced a 890r in its class and the street triple nailed it
On track very close
Matter of set up of each bike and rider skills.
On road ktm better because of advantage of torque.
@@David-ye1pk I'd say only around real tight b roads would the KTM be dominant... otherwise I would put my money on the 765RS. It is more serious and more track focused. KTM though beautiful suspension for the road and it is more playful
@@BikesofRye haven't riden street triple but no doubt is great bike . I don't think there is really bad bike nowadays. Middleweight class rocks.
Maybe trade it for MT10?
This is a nice bike until the novelty wears off and the shit hits the fan huge cost in maintenance back starts hurting from bad position don't get me wrong it's a great bike but it's only for the track it's not a bike you take out everyday on the street however if you buy the bike put away about $8,000 for the bills of the bike maintenance and don't get stuck in a traffic jam LOL you'll be in trouble.
❤bmw
🙌🏼
The thing is it looked like that when you bought it, if you didn't like it's looks then maybe you should have test rode other bikes that you preferred the look off
It bugged me when I first rode it... over time though I feel it is a shame as I love riding it but not necessarily looking at it
@@BikesofRye yeah, that's the problem with motorbikes we are always looking at the next one.👍
Yes, you regret buying it, LOL. I can tell - hence the title of the video. It’s okay, I’ve been there buddy. So the question is what’s next?????? 😈 Go back to the 765 RS or Moto 2. It now has some of the features you like in the BMW (e.g., 6-axis IMU, cornering ABS/TC, available cruise control, heated grips, updated engine, more HP/torque, etc.).
With the new street triple range out the Moto 2 is cheaper than this and bright yellow 👀😂
Yes that moto2 is damn stunning.
How about some bar end mirrors?
I always think bar end mirrors on a naked bike are a must for looks. I’ve had x765rs and even my Thruxton now - all have bar end mirrors - not that forward visibility on a bike is bad - but having mirrors out of the way. Bonus
@@philipjames3526 Agree. Visually it transforms the bike. First thing to do on every baked bike. If you don't feel comfortable enough with bar ends don't compromise safety. Otherwise its a must do modification for me.
