MCN, Never let Neevesy go! I'm pretty sure he's the best motorcycle journalist out there.

@h0nda1 7 лет назад

That audible traction control gave me goosebumps. Music!

@winningelevengaming 4 года назад

Sounds like a Predator watching his prey...

@02Guffy 7 лет назад

Listening to the traction control is simply amazing. MUCH BETTER VIDEOS!!

@akshooter762 7 лет назад

is that why it sounds like it's miss-firing? I was going to ask lol...

@adamutuber 7 лет назад

I bet the media riders weren't allowed to change this. It was probably on the highest setting as it seemed to be very intrusive even on moderate corners.

@giff74 7 лет назад

Wow, MCN! I am really enjoying the "story telling" way you are presenting some of these videos, great job!!!! Oh, and the bike looks absolutely amazing too. LOL

@Trickshot72 7 лет назад

MCN, with this review format, you have struck gold. The editing, the camera work, the manner and style of your very likeable presenter. Please continue in this vein, it's wonderful. Sincerely, thank you.

@Groagun 7 лет назад

The quality of MCN videos is so awesome today. I've been around long enough to remember the 'good(bad)' old days. Cheers to your crew: editors, producers, sound engineering and all involved. Excellent video and even as a non BMW fan, this was a great piece of video mastery.

@moteurstv1158 6 лет назад

Groagun True ✌

@afropovic 6 лет назад

Agreed! I remember the early 2005/6 videos with poor visuals and sound...The videos are now stunning professional quality and Micheal Neeves is great presenter. Well done MCN.

@hnic72 4 года назад

For almost 3yrs to the day, I've returned to this vid every 6-8 weeks just to hear that audible tc.. Sheer brilliance

@WeNeedASaga 7 лет назад

BMW can mass produce these frames! this is amazing news for us normal people - it means that in the not too distant future carbon fibre frames won't just be confined to exotic, limited run bikes. We might one day see these on our run of the mill street bikes. damn I love technology.

@jponz85 5 лет назад

Carbon fiber will still be expensive as companies know it's much lighter than any other source used. 15yrs ago carbon fiber goods were expensive, today? They're just as expensive

@jangabrielreyes4754 3 года назад

Yes, carbon fiber frames for electric bikes in the future

@hgm8337 Месяц назад

future me, they are available but at £40k they are not giving them away on the M1000RRs

@filipbunalti 7 лет назад

4 way shootout between this, 1299 superleggera, RC213V-S and the RSV4 FW-GP, please! I'd pay to watch.

@Showmetheevidence- 7 лет назад

Ayush Sharma I'm guessing that rc213 is going to get embarrassed in that company!

@madmike5144 7 лет назад

That would so porn test, just porn..

@filipbunalti 7 лет назад

You clearly overestimate horsepower. The RC213 is 188kg fully fueled (and that's with headlights and other road-legal things) and makes the same power (215hp) as the HP4 Race. The chassis and handling of the RC213 will more than make up for the ~17kg weight deficit. But then again, it's also a lot more expensive.

@filipbunalti 7 лет назад

Please stop, I can only get so erect.

@VeeFour 7 лет назад

oh yeah! throw in some KY jelly and you'd have a party right there!

@8ballphilc 7 лет назад

Audible traction control is amazing to hear! Beautiful machine!

@richpotatothebestg.m.ovegg2599 7 лет назад

WHAT A BIKE, I love when companies push the limits like Kawasaki with the h2r, Ducati with the Superleggera,and this BMW

@Soxruleyanksdrool 7 лет назад

Beema you mean

@FerDeLancesChannel 7 лет назад

Neevesy, absolutely awesome. The technology walkthroughs were very informative, and on board footage, honestly sensational. A bike that none of us will likely ride or own, but you did a sterling job transmitting the dream bike sensation back to us.

@kranioo0 7 лет назад

Awesome, awesome video guys. Just amazing how much the quality is higher now.

@MrMilkalot 6 лет назад

Congrats guys! You've come a very long way in terms of production quality. No issues with sound or video. It's professional. Kudos.

@andrewlarking7492 7 лет назад

That sound... MCN videos have come on so much. Amazing job everyone.

@rhysgriffiths9269 7 лет назад

Neevesy is nothing short of a legend. Great vid!

@freesoul85vis 7 лет назад

That traction control winding on through the long sweeping parabolica turn 13 is just amazing! :) What a motorbike! Great review MCN!

@rame791 7 лет назад

THIS is IT!!! BMW stepped up the game once more! Props to them!

What more can this man say this thing is basically a piece of ARTWORK!!! Closest thing to a full-blown MotoGP bike money can buy.

@roflcopterofchaos 7 лет назад

Another great video, MCN!

@MT--WesleyCrumblebee 7 лет назад

Loving letting us just hear it without interruption. MCN is finally picking up their quality, great vid.

@kirteshlad7208 7 лет назад

That was a fantastic presentation Mr. Neeves, that bike looks and sounds amazing

@wesgrainger3560 6 лет назад

Far Canal. That is something else. The audible traction and anti wheely is amazing. Fantastic video, fantastic riding. What an amazing peice of kit for 750 lucky people to own.

@windyrun7979 6 лет назад

Always enjoy watching Neeves' reviews

@timaosborn 7 лет назад

Fantastic work mcn, great vid and what a bike !

@MrHornig 6 лет назад

What a great bike ... we already loved the S1000RR and make lots of parts for it ... but this HP4 Race is just amazing!

@akshayrajivale9344 7 лет назад

You guys are the best at what you do😍

@Syringe666 7 лет назад

That was a very good video! Loved the on-board footage and the articulate explanation of the trick carbon fiber components, along with the brakes & suspension. The bike is good looking - loved the blued titanium exhaust in the wrap-up. That pipe sounds almost as good as the Akrapovic on my ZX-6R -- ha!!

@markjurczyk 5 лет назад

Great review mate !

@prajwalkashyap4741 6 лет назад

This must be absolute maniac race bike I guess, when Mr Neevesy himself confirms about his skill level and this bike inspite of him being so experienced, says how awesome this thing is, Bravo BMW!!..

@guybramwells 7 лет назад

14:29 "I want it so bad it hurts". I feel similar pangs of desire myself. Just an amazing piece of mechanical poetry.

@mikecallaghan6377 6 лет назад

Best review I have ever seen Thanks

@xKYLAFORNIAx 7 лет назад

wow you can really hear the traction control going through that sweeper!

@JeffNoel 7 лет назад

I really like the how it sounds with traction control. Makes it really unique.

@genetick13 7 лет назад

Sounds amazing! That popping sound when you accelerate then high pitch tune when your close to changing gear. Its sounds like your on a GP Bike. Good review!!!

@jamesfisher1827 7 лет назад

Good job, awesome bike. Love these films that let you have a real idea about these bikes, that sadly most of us will never own.

@petter6710 7 лет назад

Excellent idea to present the components while riding overall a fantastic video & bike, well done BMW. Just wish I could ride half as well.

@valebliz 6 лет назад

So how many years will it take to depreciate to 20k so I can buy one?

@tonypate9174 7 лет назад

Don't panic Steve Harvey's secret biker lovechild 650ib will be selling one on in a few years .Wonder what "bolt" ons he will add to it now all the good stuff comes on it ? Sure be low miles as spends longer in the trailer than street "racing" smack downs and comedy track days ,He is getting better at it a few times takes the same line for a few laps,even stops the 7 year old in a sweet shop (candy store) squawking

@exnihilo415 7 лет назад

shots fired

@eodaoreo 7 лет назад

"Steve Harvey's secret biker lovechild 650ib" LOL

@emilvva 7 лет назад

Actually, as a limited edition, just 750 will be manufactured, I think price will go up.

@dkim7190 7 лет назад

You can hear the cornering traction control kicking in at 0:16, 3:40 and 10:15

@WeakestYogurtEnjoyer 6 лет назад

Beautiful bike

@derekwilliams3760 7 лет назад

An amazing bike, how they can mass produce that frame I do not know. It's kind of like a Britten V1000 but nearly 30 years later. The Britten was 138 kg wet and 166 Hp. The BMW is 33 kg heavier but has 49 Hp more. Amazing what was achieved in a shed in NZ so long ago. I guess the extra weight of the BMW would easily account for all the electronics it carries nowadays.

@bob-tj6yz 7 лет назад

music to my ears

@topgun8683 7 лет назад

Awsome camera angle under the back fender , you could see your feet working the bike !

@sachin.maharathy 7 лет назад

The USD front forks actually looks like a great trophy. A real piece of art.

@MrDukes1111 7 лет назад

my god.... that thing sounds so good! You can literally hear the electronics interfering making a stutter popping sounds out of every single corner! Sounds like a hybrid s1000rr transformer or something.
