I am just about 5'5" tall / 165cm with an inseam of 30 inch / 760 mm and I weigh 63kg. After waiting months for a low suspension version of the S1000XR I finally got to ride this machine and found it very comparable to the Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX in terms of normal motorway and city riding due to very similar torque delivery.

@@thumpertorque_ I got mine, booked in Jan 2022 and got it in May, took almost 5 months (custom order, low suspension, M Sport, war and parts from Ukraine situation etc delayed it). Now after 7 months I'm a happy camper. On rolling, parking etc its still on the edge, though I can manage with proper riding boots. I can touch the balls of feet and thats enough. On the run, its perfect and balanced and stable like glue. The best engineered and thrilling bike I ever owned! BTW make sure to order low version if you are under 6ft or less than 32 inch inseam, saves the ride. I know many people regretting going for the std version and then asking for lowering kits.

Tips; når du skal skifte fra road til dynamic eller dynamic pro , sett på cruisecontrol, og skift med høyre hånd. Ble en R1250R på meg, boxermotoren er bare så utrolig sterk. Måtte sette på lav sal, 760 mm, slik at jeg når ned med begge bein. Er bare 168 cm.

Hi, thank you for your very informative real-life video. I’m 170cm « tall » (5 foot 7). I used to ride a R1250GS for a couple of years, loved it but at the end I got fed up with how difficult it was for me to manhandle the bike once loaded when not moving, even pulling her up from the side stand at the petrol station. I always wanted the S1000XR but found the bike too tall. After reading some compairisons, I noticed that many journalists thought that the Ninja 1000SX was a good and less expensive alternative. I bought one second hand and have been touring with it during the last two years. I love it, specially the engine and I must say that the bike fits me like a glove. But out of sheer curiosity and also because I still fancy the s1000xr, you have experience on both bikes, how would the engine characteristics and the ergonomics compare? Kind regards

I just picked up one with the standard suspension settings. I'm 5'10" with slightly short legs. You can lower the suspension a little on the bike settings. I can almost flatfloot on this setting with normal riding boots on. If you're a little taller than me I can't see that the factory lowered version would suit you better. And you'll have to sell it eventually.

Hello there Sir, No I don't think there is much noticeable difference in height with the low suspension 1000 and the standard height 900. Although if you choose to get the low suspension 900 then I think it will feel less top heavy at 775mm seat height.

@@InfusedBiker I hear from everyone that the s1000xr is a faster bike. But I don't know because I haven't ridden it myself yet. The acceleration issue worries me a bit. I recently learned that a rider who had the first version of this motorcycle died.
@ridingdreamer
@ridingdreamer 2 года назад
@ It all depends on how you ride, how you control etc. If you are a sensible rider you can even ride RR or Panigale and still enjoy it without any such incidents. Be mindful of the power and throttle accordingly. One could die even on a 250cc if reckless! As for 900XR and 1000XR, I booked the 1000XR. I know its bigger and faster but in the long run it will have better build, more comfort and superior handling. Once you get used to it, IMHO, 1000XR will be better.
