This is by far the best review ever for this particular bike I have seen...Love from india .

Loved the video.. 34 dislikes from riders who got their feeling hurt because they can't lean 1000cc.. lol.

Excellent vlog. Didn't realize I sat here for an hour.

Watching this in 2016. Nice review man.

Great review/vlog. Im sure the dislikes are just from people who think being a good rider comes with how long you can wheelie for and only wanted to hear about how you win highway races.

Wow, Unbelievable, Thank you so very much for your comprehensive review. Wonderfully put together with considerable consideration for genuine in depth analysis. Great work thank you for your efforts. Lovely scenic drive to boot!!

slowly but surely im saving up for this bike hopfully in this color. excellent review

Great review! When I got my bike, the dealership had 4 of Fireblue and 1 Tri color. Of course I got FB and couldn't be happier and I have agree that it is the most sought after color currently. I also have Duc 2K 996 with 24k miles and your comment about Duc dealership network is spot on. Looking forward to your next review. Sub'd

Duuuuude you deserve way more subs than those you have.. i just sub'd, loved your "narration" and your style keep it up and ride safe

Damn, I don't even own a bike and you made me sit through that whole thing. Good video, kept me interested.

Great video,picking mine up on thursday after 2 years on a 2014 zx6r-636.

What a great review and really informative, i am trying to decide between the S1000RR and Honda Fireblade...this has really helped. Thanks

Good review. Tried it recently on the street and track and it is the best bike i have ever ridden. Super smooth, super strong, shifter is flawless and the seating position is great. I own a 2009 R1 and tried many others but this bike is just awesome. With the big bang sound it would be perfect :D Forget my first comment, this is an excellent review.

Thanks for the compliment. Well most sport bikes today are equipped with steering stabilizers from the factory. This is the case with the S1000rr as well. I think it is an absolute must. The bike comes with a Sachs stabilizer, I find it to be an excellent, smooth, and easy to use unit. It has worked flawlessly thus far. I run mine around click 6-7 and almost max on track style riding. I think however if I was to purchase a stabilizer, say the bike did not have one, I would go Ohlins.

Great content and video! Please make more :)

YOU NEED TO MAKE MORE VIDEOS! You were the reason I bought a S1000rr... And almost a FZ-09.... lol

Flat footed at 5' 8". Im 5 ' 7" and considering buying this beast. One of the best review of this bike.

excellent review you have now 100% persuaded me to buy this bike, bmw should pay you for all the sales you have and will make them haha awesome review!

I am so glad I just happened to come across your video. I'm a 48 yr.-old who has never owned a bike and have only ridden one once about 20 yrs. ago, and have wanted on ever since. I think I have the good sense and maturity to handle a liter bike and plan to buy one about a year from now. I'm researching different bikes, where and how to learn effective riding technique and such. I have to say that watching this video was like being right there with you talking to me. I'm leaning toward either the S1000 RR or the Yamaha R1. Great job, you should teach a riders' course.

Excellent review, specially the way you approached the none sense of owning a 1000cc super bike just for "street credit". I mean I love to go fast, don't get me wrong, and I love to do my stupid stuff (always looking for not so populated twisties and highway fast riding) but it really comes down to what your skill level is, and has you stated most of the 1000cc and even 600cc sport bike owners have no idea on how to handle their bikes (advice: get a 600cc naked bike and start from the basics), either on straits or twisties. My last bike was a Suzuki GSXR 1000 K9, unfortunately trashed in a moto/car accident (dumb cager passed a red light) and the Bimmer S1K is next in line. Gratz on the review and also on the public service you provided with your full sense responsibility comments. Subscribed.

Excellent review. I got mine 3 months ago and it has 7k mile so far. I think the exhaust sounds amazing but not ridiculously loud like the shorty version.

Great review!! Thank you so much for this. Just some questions - On a full tank down to empty, how many miles can you get on that? As you mentioned that even with hard throttling, the bike's able to get 150 miles on it and it's still pretty plenty. Besides, there's no fuel gauge right? Is it possible to reset the mileage? Thanks in advance!

Very true about the ridding, body positioning anyone can go fast in a straight line that's why I love my 2013 zx10r it sooo nimble and flickable in the tight twisties even better than my 600

Stunning bike bro! I love the BMW S1000RR! Hopefully when I'm old enough I'll be able to get one. I'm 18 so I have to wait at least till I'm 21 because of Britian's laws aha. :) But brilliant vlog and brilliant bike! :)

Great video.

Great review! The only issue I had was the "stereotype" comment. I am a BMW fan boy, though I did choose a Ducati1199. I commute (rain or shine) here in the PNW and logged 13,000 miles on the bike my first year FYI.

I love the s1000rr, iv always been gsxr guy,I had 6 of them,believe it or not,bmw based there s1000rr engine of the gsxr1000 k5 engine,and to me the bmw has some of characteristic of the gsxr,engine wise 👌 anyway brilliant review

Great review. Thanks. Can this bike also be used for a daily commute as well including heavy traffic?

Great review!! Very comprehensive. I have a Harley 1200 Sportster, and I want to add a sport bike like to the stable, but I fear this might be too much bike, but it appears like it's easier to ride than the S1000R. Our dealers out here (on Oahu) won't LET you test ride, unless you are pretty much a signature away from purchasing the bike. Quite the BS if you ask me.

Darryl McKillop I agree not being able to ride before purchase is a frustration.

great review. i sat on one of these last week and i found that the frame gets quite hot and i was surprised that you didnt mention it given how comprehensive this review was. also, ive heard the s1000 has assisted rear braking but i dont remember you mentioning that either. any chance of an rsv4 review soon?

Great review. I am currently shopping for my next bike. Here's my past bikes to now. First sport bike 06 R6, 07 GSXR-1000, 08 ZX-10R, 2011 GSXR 1000. Currently do not have a bike. I'm looking at both the S1RR or the new ZX10R. Going today to get a feel for both and then will be deciding and buying next month. The Beemer is catching my interest very quickly.

A very sensible review. Good job.

Just Subscribed! Excellent video! Would you consider the bike to be high maintenance? I'm looking at a 2012 fire blue myself. But with it being out of warranty I'm not sure if it's worth it.

Hey there, so ive come across your review and great job... I'm in the market for a newer 1000cc. I've had a 2008 Yamaha R1 and currently have a 2009 CBR1000RR. However I'm looking to buy a S1000RR. The price difference between the 2014 and 2015 is quite huge. Is it really worth the extra difference? in your opinion?

What kind of ducati do you own,nice bmw.Which do you think is better a 1199 panigale or bmw s1000rr.Thanks great video

Awesome review and Vlog I really enjoyed it. I see a lot of people using steering stabilizers. What are you thoughts on these with your bikes? or the S1000rr. Do you think it is more personal preference or maybe the quality of how S1000rr is made along with the other areas in how it works so good? I know you said how stable it was at high speeds but I figured I would ask. Again awesome review and bike, and I enjoyed hearing you knowledge on everything.

I agree with your views on this amazing machine. I have a 2013 and am just knocked out by the bike. Best of the best.

Your videos are great and very informative. You almost sold me on FZ-09 few months back but then I decided to go with a used 2008 R6 for half price that of a new FZ-09. Used SV650 in my area we're overpriced at the time. Money unfortunately is an issue for most riders. What are your thoughts on a used budget upgrade bike for riders trying to upgrade from a 250. BTW 36:42 LOL

Besides the fact that you made amazing review, you`ve pointed some very important tips when it comes to driving any liter bike. I would like to see from you direct comparison between 600cc and 1000cc bikes when it comes to usability, driving and maintenance costs.

What is the fender eliminator kit you have? Other than that, nice vid bro.

when you buy the bike, does it already come with slick mode uninstalled?

What is the regular maintenance like? Oil, filter, battery etc? I like to do those on my own and not spend ridiculous money at the dealer.

Fluxx43 I have to ask about your camera setup. The quality is great and the camera placement is neat. I was looking to get the GoPro Hero Black 3+ with a suction mount for the gas tank. Are you using the GoPro suction mount here?

I just want to know, do the bike get hot, I know all bikes get ho,t but I seen a review someone said: the bike get extremely hot, and is it 2012 BMW a great bike or should I get a newer one.

how did you your initial break in for the brakes again? zip tie the lever over night and give it a quick grab once untied?

@ridendrive

10 жыл бұрын

Correct, zip tie the brake to the grip, not all the way, just enough so that there is decent pressure on the brakes, nothing crazy. Leave it overnight, remove it, that should change the brake feel. Essentially all your doing is bringing any air to the top of the reservoir.

Sv650 as a starter bike?

I just bought an S1000rr this year and I absolutely love it so far, however the only thing I don't like about it is how it makes my hand go numb after about 30 minutes of riding! I barely hold onto the grips so I am not death gripping them. I am wondering if I am the only one that notices that, and I have had several different bikes and never noticed that like this before. Any ideas on how to get rid of that?

That was not a mistake with the rear brake bmw did that on purpose they say that 80% or something like that should be done by using the front brake so they incorporated the front and the rear brakes together.

Also one more question...... today I had a issue... twice switching from 5th to 6th it jumped out of gear. The first time it was a false neutral the second time I had some chatter on the shift lever, it was a horrifying sound!... I wasn't using the QS and both times I was just slowly getting up to speed. Any similar issues?
