If I like it which Im sure I will it will be a headache to decide between one of these or the Gsxr1000r which are heavily discounted now at £14400 for a pre reg 2021

I got a kick out of this mid-term review. I have about 1,600 miles on my M-Sport version and agree with almost everything you said. I also owned two earlier versions and have owned and currently own some of the Italian competitor models. I have the R&G Second Skin tank side protectors (just pre-cut PPF) which provide just enough grip and are nearly invisible. They also sell a kit to protect the front and all leading edges. The phone app can also be used to record your rides, which includes the lean angle information you see on the Sports view on the TFT. I've toured thousands of miles on a Panigale (without heated grips or cruise control) and I think the S1000rr is every bit the sports tourer, given its generous amount of room to move around as well as the cruise control and heated grips. People tend to overlook the fact that, at highway speed, the riding position on sports bikes is quite comfortable because you are leaned into the wind which in turn helps support you to some extent. With a naked, you are holding yourself up against the wind blast, which is also more noisy. Add a bespoke tank bag (angled downward towards the rider), and you have a fairly comfortable perch. That, plus soft bags or a Kreiga backpack, and you are in business. Although, as you noted, you cannot modify the four pre-set modes, you can use one or more of the Race Pro modes to set up an alternative configuration for the road however you like. Finally, BMW also sells the carbon fiber panels you mentioned, in glossy finish (as used on the parts included in the carbon package on the M-Sport version), and I believe you can turn off the dash warning light you mentioned when in Race Pro.

Very good points there Ben about wind blast, I completely agree!!

I am smiling watching this review, You are riding the motorcycle giving us all the info we want too hear whilst not using your hands, I am watching this holding my phone with both hands. Great work as always

Ive been trying not to buy one and thankfully looks like I lasted the season! Test rode it and it's comically good. Sports bikes are about compromises to give performance but the bike has the most performance and absolutely no compromises. If they stole Ducati styling team nobody else would sell a sportsbike again.

Great review Chopsy, you sure are living the dream mate 😎

Never herd you so well chuffed with a new bike and I can see why you are thinking of buying it at the end of your test period.looking forward to the next video on the magic BMW

Lovely bike , great being part of the LCR team! Cheers.

I think the carbon package is a must with this bike to really give it that premium feel in comparison to competitors like the Ducati and Aprilia.

What nobody realized and what I loved the most about this video, its the amazing noise cancelling if the helmet.

Nice interesting review as ever & a great bike which may be the most versatile (best?) 1000cc supersport yet. The other manufacturers have got a big act to follow.

Took one for a days test ride out of Vines Guildford, managed to get to Machynllth and back via the Brecons. Dead comfy, massively capable, fast has never been so easy. My only criticism is screen a tad low for me. Amazing machine.

I installed the WRS tall screen on mine and it works very well. I'm 6' tall.

Had mine nearly 3 months and going to do review shortly. Everything you said I agree with. I have the Evotech bar ends and they make a small difference. I also have put some stick on lead tape under the mirror stalks to reduce mirror vibes. I have a Pro Race can (feel free to watch my vid on it, not up to your standards) and like you, fact it is quiet at start up keeps me in good books with neighbours. Mine is just RR sport model rather than M Sport. Luggage wise I’ve gone for Ventura so be interesting to see how you get on with the SW Motech side bags

Very good review. Lovely bike. So complex compare to my last sports bike which was a 2001 R1. Now I am a round the world biker and just have various adventure bikes, but if I was to have one in the garage again this bike looks good.

5 star review thanks cheers.

Just done a 2000 mile trip on mine with SW Motech Panniers…and a tank bag. Zero comfort issues and definitely more enjoyable than on my RT1250! 😮

Great review and update Chopsy, I wish my arthritis would let me ride one. My guess is that you will buy this 😉

Like the sound of a comfortable sportsbike being in my 50's and was thinking maybe the BMW was a future contender, until my dream bike Streetfighter came by, Cheers Choppy

I think the Helibar risers would be a nice clip-on addition, couples with some adjustable rear-sets, to this to enhance the comfort without compromising your track days.

Great review again Chopsie. This might be my last sports bike next year that or the Rsv4. I’m leaning towards the looks on the Beemer though.

You can tour on any bike, as long as your body is up to it!!…unfortunately mine isn’t up to it on a Sports bike!…great vid Chopsy.

You can get an ECU modification that turns the fan on earlier for cooler running temps. Also fixed a few other things that make everything that little bit nicer. Maybe not worth getting just for the fan mod but good to know if you're thinking about getting it anyway

But until I get chance to test ride the competition I can't be 100 per cent sure. As a side note, you definitely look suited for that machine Chops..... There....

I'm 5'11" and I noticed a big reduction of dead bugs on the jacket but I don't suffer too much from wind in the helmet. Hot bike. My 2016 S1000RR gets hot enough to where in the California summer sun, I think my right heal and ankle is being slow cooked after a couple of hours.

I have keyless on my K1600 and I love it, but it does also link to the fuel cap and the panniers and that makes it much more practical. I never need the actual key. Keyless is not the problem, not fully implementing it is.

@@LambChopRides I think I was just unlucky. The worrying thing is there was nothing to associate the damages too. Also after a few weeks having to stomach a heft bill wasn’t ideal.

Was really considering this but I decided on a 2021 Aprilia RSV4 1100 factory glad I went with the aprilia. Only small gripe I have with it is the cruise control cannot be set unless you're in at least 3rd gear and going a certain speed. The bmw allows you to pop it on whenever

I had one with a full system, get an ARROW one with the titanium cat, so that way you get enough back pressure, kind of complies with Euro 3 and leave the baffle in the can. Still 'just' gets through the track day Nazis! Only sold due to divorce... still gutted. Great Video!

I’m loving mine as well, I’m about to do a little hack on the headlights, basically you can have automatic lights, the running lights are on all the time but as it gets dark the headlights come on automatically, as it should be from the factory you even turn this feature on or off through the dash settings

Good long time review Lamb Chop

Sweet bro. Would love to see a review from you on ZX14R

Great review as always Mr Chops. Agree with all you said, got the RRsport in silver. Didn’t want to pay for sports seat and knew I’d replace it and a light weight battery wasn’t going to be something I’d be able to notice. Had mine for 2 months and done 2k on it. Comfy , smooth, fast as you like but laden with toys also. Sat nav and speed display is a joy, heated grips perfect and I went for the high screen, it does make a slight difference to the wind. Love the channel. 👍

Thank you for posting. Sounds like you enjoy the after market exhaust. For the tank grips, I have been using Tech Spec for my GS and my S1000RR. Been very happy with their product.

It’s a cracking bike, I’d have one as well as my R if I had the room. 👍

The flapper is like Yamaha exhaust valve/ flap on the Fazer etc. It produced higher torque at low revs and kept sound down.

Looks like a brilliant bike, not jealous much

I just got the Bp app. Don’t even have to get off to pay. Very handy and dead easy to use.

In the US you need a flash to unlock the power, and they also open the exhaust flappers. I’d love to find an exhaust that is loud on the road, but could easily insert some DB killers to bring it down to 103db which is a common sound limit on US tracks. Still looking.

At 49 but still wanting a sports bike in the garage as well as the SDR I think this bike ticks a lot of box’s if not all of them. Well done a really good review👍🏻 I can’t believe it comes with hill climb hold, not a massive thing but with all the other extra creature comforts compared with the other bikes in the class this adds up to a good all round sports bike for us older guys still seeking the thrill of a sports bike but with a bit more comfort and functionality.

Tank grips: Stompgrip Supervolcano Clear. Much nicer than your smoke. Windscreen. WRS (over the MRA). It has more of a bubble and better airflow. Clear for the better ability to put a 360 camera on the triple-clamp. Exhaust: I kept stock because I hate loud. To reduce weight and increase power, get a full system but use the stock can. It won't be as ridiculously loud as the shorty can. Tail: Futurismoto if you want to clean it up. I have 16,000 miles on mine. Best purchase ever.

I went for black widow headers which are great. I did use a bit of exhaust past on every join and they give you a tube of the stuff. I kept standard can as the end can because A/ it’s v light B/ it’s straight through perforated tube like all the after markets are C/ it looks like a standard bike so if cops moan about the noise “ITS STANDARD CAN” 😋👍 D/ saves you cash better spent on regular new tyres ✨🏍️💨
