Best video i could have gotten recomended. I think buying a 600cc sportbike even as a beginner is stupid for me. But Hey these 2008 gsxr with these modes? I had no idea C mode cuts the horsepower in half, that is huge. Sounds perfect for a noob to learn riding on it. Tho perhaps there are some negatives i am not aware of.
People telling me with the dbeqter you got high amount of power loss?? Like up to 30 hp of loss which you defenetly feel.. can you tell me youre experience?
@@bikes4life05 i agree. But still if you would lose that much hp with just removing this little thing, it should be the same with the slip-ons which dont have any db killers in the beginning. I just ordered the s1 slip-on for the 2016 RR which dont have a db killer. It should arrive in the next few days
I have my RR for a week now, and while waiting the break in to happen, I am daily driving it. I know it has power but like you said it’s fun if you don’t go to the road trying to mil yourself which I do as well.
Of all the motorcycles I was surprised to read it was an S1000RR the made the fastest coast to coast US speed record! I would have thought someone would use a sport tourer" Tslk about sore wrists! 33 hours non stop!!
IMHO? Too expensive a model for someone on such a budget the ownership costs prevents owning a car as a backup? Persoally I would pick a more exonomical motorcycle and also own an economy car....just my 2 cents. I have a Yamaha MT-09 sport touring bike AND a salvage title MIATA that runs like new I bet combined not much more than a single S1000RR And the Yamaha carves almost as well as an RR...i think
Woah really good I have a question next year 2024 I'm planning to get yamaha r6 but I've been eyeing on the s1k I've been asking few s1k rider just how good for beginners like me my experience is 5 years or clutch moped and plenty of time on my friend r25 so what your opinion and your riding history also ,you buy it at a very young age did you have business or what and your first experience with the bike
@@dailydoseofanime2239 an r6 the clutch is a lot more forgiving than an s1k I think it’s better to get an r6 but if yk what ur doing then jump to a Beamer is fine. Also I do real estate with my mom she has her own company that’s why I can afford one at 17. My experience with the bike is that it’s comfortable the bike isn’t that heavy I wouldn’t say it’s light as well and overall it’s a really great bike u can still enjoy on it not like an r1 I tried riding it the throttle is very responsive and sensitive. That’s all I have for u :)
hi i got this exhaust, how to remove this baffle? there is a screw i cant reach i think i have to drill it out. but i would have to drill through the carbon fibre.
Excellent Review lots of useful information for someone who just bought his bike. You sold this bike did you buy another bike or what bike are you thinking of buying?
Would you recommend buying this bike as a first bike? If the goal is to just have it and use it as a daily, not for insane speeding etc. Would you recommend getting it then, as a first?
hi, i need help because i'm not sure if i should buy the sc project conic. did you experience a loss of performance with db killer? without db killer there shouldn't be any right? what are your experiences with and without db killer? i plan to drive without db killer!
Hey bro the video is amazing How was your experience riding a sports bike for long trip didn’t you get tired of riding for hours or is it comfortable s1000 for long trip?
On the quickshift part of this video he says when downshifting the throttle has to be closed...I've got a 2016 skrr that will downshifting at open throttle.
i ride a 150cc naked bike but really want a sports bike now like ktm rc 390 but still confused because roads in India are not like these where you are all the way , people telling me to get a naked bike instead of sports bike will be more comfortable to cut corners and easier and cheaper to maintain. is it true that the seating position for long time isnt that good for your back and you need constant breaks? and they are not well good in as light offroading too? i am just confused i love sports bike but getting a naked one seems more logical right now ;-; i love how ktm rc 390 makes me feel
In my view, naked bikes are worse for long distances because you sit upright and all the wind blows on your upper body. Sports bike is way better for long distance in my view. Also depends on the bike itself, a lot of sports bikes have different seating positions.
@@SeeMeRiding i have my eyes on yamaha r3 or ktm rc 390 ones. alternate is the duke series of ktm love the cbr series of honda but they are discontinued what you think?
@@everengaged9370 Hard to say which one to go with. I have never ridden these sized bikes. If possible, go test ride all of them. Helps a lot with the desicion
I guess slick mode gives the most fun as it only uses electronics to save you right at the end. And this bike has the toggle to give less or more traction/wheelie control
Sweet bike man, I’ve been looking at a used 17 s1000. Was wondering if you had any issues with the bike especially since you don’t have a car, I’ve only owned bikes from japans big 4 but love the looks of these bmws. Thanks!
Great topic to discuss and great vid! I have always believed sportbikes are capable of being daily driven. I have a car but I daily my sportbike much more than my car. This vid should definitely have more views.
