    I absolutely adore mine. I’m 6ft 17st and it’s so comfortable the way it changes direction is like it’s telepathic it just does exactly what you want. The tech fest is brilliant you have so much info and input. The sat nav will allow you to choose what type of route you want ie fastest/shortest or My favourite winding roads. It records your route and will save your favourite roads so you can find them again. The media screen is really good it shows you what songs your listening with the album pics and you can scroll through your playlists on the move. Again the same with phone calls. I could go on there’s so much more. The bits I’m not so keen on are the mirrors do vibe a good bit neutral is tricky to find it’s a bit quiet but we all no why

    Excellent review as usual. The RR is a great bike for sure. I've never owned one, but when I factor in maintenance, reliability, durability, etc., the R1 still wins with me. I always saw more R1s at the track too, and the guys with the RRs always seemed to be the ones with new leathers and extra tires (hint hint wink wink), though it was never surprising to see them near the top of the time sheets. Just my opinion, though. And +1 on BMW and the TFTs.

    R1 better reliability yes but not better maintenance, the S1000RR has 18000 miles engine service intervals, 10000 miles oil service intervals. And a Brock performance 215whp S1000RR does the quarter mile in 8.72 seconds (which is the world record).

    The riding is the best part of ownership of the K67. I love riding mine as it’s so flattering and roomy for a slightly taller rider. The build quality is a bit haphazard, with a few recalls on some batches as recently as December ‘21. My bike was on the workshop for 3.5 weeks in November last year getting things fixed.

    You mentioned how full of 'tech' the bike is and for those that care about this sort of thing, these expensive items also caught my eye about the machine: •New 2-ring forged piston 12 g lighter, adapted combustion chamber and compression increased to 13.5. In addition, slimmer and lighter rocker arms. •Titanium valves, on the exhaust side with new spring assembly, slimmer, and 6 % lighter rocker arms and optimized camshafts. •Light, compact engine block with longer and 85 g lighter titanium connecting rods from Pankl for reduced friction power and less weight.

However for the next review of this bike could you please show us how the ridning position looks from the side when your on it? It would give a nice feel just to see which angle your back and knees are in. Many thanks from Sweden.

    Almost forty years ago my first bike was a small sports bike. Over the years I have owned different types of bikes but my all-time favorite was a Honda CBR. Two years ago, despite my age, I got to ride a friend's BMW S1000RR and I thought my God this bike is light years ahead of that much older Honda. I loved the bike - not necessarily the price he paid for it. I thought if I was 15 years younger - and little more flexible I would buy the BMW. It really impressed me both in looks, handling, and sheer fun!

    @ 1:56 So you get a standard seat plus the additional M seat? The seat is like a plank compared to previous models (2015). There are three seat options, 1/2 inch approx. above and below standard (expensive to buy afterward). @ 7:52 There's an adjustable link to raise/lower the bike on the rear suspension. Two set screws and a 3mm thick spanner, with engine jacked up. I sometimes start off in second gear on my 2020 model and am hitting 120mph plus before changing gear. Another thing is the vibration through the handlebars, on my 2015 add 2020 bikes your hands go numb especially on low milage bikes. Heavier bar ends help damp vibration. @ 13:35 Over 200hp at the crankshaft, not the back wheel. Big difference. The M sport paint is £400 extra. Mine had its cylinder head replaced as a "quality enhancement" (read, factory recall), potential valve coating problem. Lithium battery gave problems, wouldn't start all weekend dealer collected it............it started. Eventually, a warning showed "Engine management fault", traced to battery. No problems since. Edit: My bike has failed to start numerous times. Last march they had it for 2 weeks and did a software update. April 1st it wouldn't start, got it back 8th of April, 6 hours later it wouldn't start. Now the 8th of May they still have it. Looking for a refund but being ignored by BMW dealer.

    Nice real world review. Interesting that you & Chops found it all day comfortable & you're very different sized guys. Looks like BMW have cracked it although I wonder if because of it's well rounded Germaness (not a word but you know what I mean), it maybe isn't as sexy as some of its competitors even if it's a better all-round package.

    Enjoyed your first review on the S1000RR, look forward to you having the bike for a month's worth of summing up, pity it isn't a summer loan when you may have done a longer run to the coast maybe, it will be interesting to see if your shoulder gives you a problem with a longer stint in the saddle. Having done sports bikes in my younger days, and thoroughly enjoyed them, and I have to say if I was a little younger I would be tempted by the bikes easy going manner for such a ballistic missile, and as you say for what you get compared to my 1250 GS ADV it represents good value, when you think the Fireblade is well over 20k. But you must stop putting yourself down I consider you an excellent rider. Thank you.

    I also love the torque. What i did and dropped 19kg with 4 expensive changes. 1. Carbon rims 6kg 2. Titanium trellis for rider/pillion. 5KG 3. Titanium exhaust header/exhaust and K&N air filter. Lost all the unnecessary engine spoiler and muffler cover. 4. Double stand is gone. You can lose some more kg if you change the steering system/fuel tank/ battery/ water cooler. Probably, you can shed another 6kg. To improve performance across the specs .... Power Commander + Air Filter + Torq Clutch.

    My nephew was looking for a bike to replace his 2017 Fireblade, which as his only bike had to be a do it all bike including a sixty mile commute five days a week, he first of tested the 1000RR-R blade but had it back at the dealers within an hour as he described it as a "torture implement" ,he eventually narrowed it down to the GSX-R1000 and the S1000RR and said it was a toss up between the two as both were really comfortable and excellent commuters but believe it or not what swung him to the BMW was its lovely TFT screen, he's so pleased with it he reckons it's a better all rounder than all the blades he's owned which IMO is some recommendation.

    I had the M Sport in the first week of release and I have to say it’s a mistake for BMW to have put the blue callipers on the front, they look cheesy and naff. The app is so-so, but I never noticed mirror vibrations. I think at 200+ bhp you just have to accept these things as physics takes over. One thing I always noted was how the radiator fan came on frequently, wonder if it still does it? Granted it’s not warm but, mine was always whirring away and I read stories of guys in the US overheating..

    I’m very familiar with the bike, having ridden them on track many times (The school I go to buys a new fleet of them every year) as well as on the road (my 2021 M edition with the carbon pack). The fan is actually very efficient, running for a minute or so after a fast track session, and I am sure it does a good job keeping the bike in optimum operating range. The M seat is hard on purpose, as it makes moving from side to side for track riding much easier. Some owners change to the comfort seat, but, as a road bicycle user, the harder seat does not bother me.
