BMW M 1000 RR | IS IT WORTH IT?! 

Nah, this is a brutally honest and ultimately accurate review of the bike and who it is aimed at. As Chris rightly points out, it's designed for race teams who will junk so much of bike in favour of Race spec kit. Clearly it's a fantastic bike, but so is a standard S1000rr.

Anyone else appreciated just how damn clear that wind screen is; how the water beads up it in the air stream so cleanly - plus that silky smooth steady cam guffery. Phwooar!!!

Totally honest review! Thanks for being invited to such a cool day and not just noshing BMW.

1:51 Not gonna lie, I think the episode should have started out with this 😂

Baron is slowly changing from general glove faffer to actual motor journalist with real advice..... props

Huge respect for the blokes at 44teeth. After watching I was reminded of this quote I read somewhere,“Sincerity and truth are the basis of every virtue.”! Keep up the good work you guys. Really appreciate it.

Undoubtably one of the best looking bikes on the market right now

This guy was great in schitt's creek and he’s pretty clever on a bike, goes to show you never can tell 😆

Chris, your racing skill has grown leaps and bounds, it’s awesome to see, good for you man. It’s been fun to watch your progression.

Nice , thanks Chris . Whatever you are doing these days , you seem much more focused and engaging.I see you replied to many comments. We appreciate all you both do and I get a bit of a chubby when I see a notification of a new video .( no matter the subject and that screams volumes) Be safe .

Nice one , Chris ! This was a proper honest review , no bias here 👍

Great review! Would really like to see a follow up to this with you riding one after a race team has been through it.

I was at Donington on the same day and Chris seemed more interested in an old school Kawasaki that was there...

That was one of the best reviews I've ever seen. You nailed it. Thank you very much!

How badass was this review, production and presentation! - Fantastic Chris 👍🏻

As usual... Great visuals and great analysis and feedback. Thanks for the RReview 44Teeth! ✌🤘🤘

Love the honesty Chris...good review fella!

The honest review is refreshing, as opposed to the gushing praise from others. Great video 🙏🏽

Fantastic, in depth and honest review. Keep well.

Great review Chris!! Great to hear your honesty when you are such a fan boy of the brand!!

You are spot on in your analysis of this bike. I bought an S1000RR in 2013 then turn around and purchased the 2014 HP4 competition as a collectors bike. I have jus over 10,000 miles on it and I have been waiting for the M 1000 RR competition just so that I can delivery of it as a collectors Motorrad bike as well.

Great honest review with good detail. Thanks for that. A job to believe it came with those tyres on a press day. What was BMW thinking of.

Big Chris... hitting nails on heads like a proper journo SHOULD! Bravo dude 👌👏👏👏

Thanks for the honest and considered review and conclusions.

Properly real life review. Best yet. Thank you

Thank you ,the sales-price difference makes this decision easy

Looking nice and fast on the track Chris, looking forward to your next race.

13:45 So one of them had an oil leak...? This is the BMW reliability that we have all become accustomed to. No surprises there.

I know NOTHING about motorcycle, a lot about road bicycles with pedals, but nothing about motorcycles. This motorcycle though... What a piece of art.

New cameras? ultra high quality lads, congrats!

Lmao, Kevin knows what’s up!

Most sensible honest review possible..... Chris at his critical best.

Excellent, clear review. Thanks Chris.

You're looking sharp here mate. Great review and good to see you looking level.

I'm sure you have summed the bike up perfectly.In the hands of the right race team it could be a winner.Thks.

Good review Perky! I wholeheartedly agree with your synopsis.

Fantastic review! I have a '16 s1000rr so I am a self admitted BMW fanboy but I think you hit the nail on the head Chris! A race teams' build buttery bisquit base rather than an ultimate street variant of the venerable RR.

Oh man! You have gotten better! Good job Barron

TC is spot on. Wheels inline but still laying down black lines. Maximum attack.

Totally agree with Chris. A lightly modded S1000RR would be my choice over an M. 100% spot on about the Nissin calipers by the way 👍

So refreshing that the review is honest!

Fantastic honest review! Top job as always 👍

Great review, Chris. Covid maybe, but this is much closer to real world for us Brits than a totally contrived press launch in Spain or Portugal, as great as they may be.

Hey man, love the review just wondered if you would recommend a fairly experienced rider to buy the competition pack or just the base model? And what the differences are?

Well glad to hear the blunt honesty. I do wonder with the current Blade SP, ZX10RR and this ... maybe a more accurate test for the homologising specials is a not so budget bike battle road trip???

That opening montage looked great!

But is it uncrashable?

That thing is damn quick damn how it goes from slow mph to over 120mph is astounding

£20K less than a HP4 RACE and its road legal ?! there's evolution !

This title is like asking if oxygen is worth breathing.

Can't believe 44 teeth still at 260+ sub , come on guys they should crack up to a million+ ,the best bike review .

Good to see back Chris !

I hope your racing on the super twin goes/went well at Oulton Park! No more mechanical issues!💪🏻👍🏻🙏

Bloody love that sound of superbikes in the background gunning it. Makes me want to grab my gear and get mine out now haha. Got stuff to do tho..

Chris I love this channel, it’s my go to… watched this and still traded my S for the M.. Having ridden them back to back on street and track. I can give you my opinion also. The S is an incredible bike, smooth, controlled and rapid. Both bikes in stock trim feel very similar, the M turns in a bit better. However, once you get them flashed and a full pipe, they are different. The M is more edgy, and gets power the power to the ground in a different way. I’m not saying it’s better but just different. It’s a shame you had not great weather and no slicks and the suspension was at the stock settings (I think), not the way to ride that bike. So yes, you need to do things to the M, but you also need to do things to the S. I commute on mine and track it, I love it. I’ve owned a lot of 1k bikes, and I’m really enjoying this one. And YES it does look good. Both amazing bikes. If you’re looking to save some money and still want an incredible bike the S is just awesome. If you want to feel something with a bit more life get the M (if you can afford it, it’s expensive but then again YOLO haha).

Loved the 44T custom racing leathers. design is really smart. 👏

Love the fact you have BARON stamped across the back of your suit.

Loved the edit and soundtrack for the intro 👌👌👌

Chris so Happy&Relaxed these days😁Honestly a joy to watch this review.Keep 'em coming team 44.

When you show up to one powersports OEM's product intro wearing gear from another powersports OEM

Thanks for this honest review. I'd love one with the wings. I'm guessing there's not much to the hp difference in the S And the M engine?

It certainly looks like BMW have finally pulled the pin & gone all-out for a race homologation special. And why not? I'm fully expecting this upgrade to be at the sharp-end for at least a good cuppla-3 years (or until the competition up their game again). And lest I forget: that was a really good & informed review there, Sue. I'll whisper it - but I can see you overhauling your long-time-partner-in-crime (Statham) soon on track. And on that bombshell...

Cheers Chris - nicely measured summary

Good quality video, nice photography. And great info too, well done.

Nice review Baron, really like the new race outfit, looks stellar.

Do you think you will purchase one of these fine motor cycles and do any track days on it

It looks amazing, proper halo bike. BTW, cool CF Moto jacket, Chris! Full on factory rider :D

Great intro compilation! More from "Le Baron" please!

You guys never fail to make me burst out laughing watching your videos. Keep up the good work.

Great honest opinion as always 🤙🏽👍🏽

Fantastic review Chris, always enjoy watching your views. You did a review a while ago about a HP4 which was not road legal. Why don't race teams simply put the guts of that into a S1000RR? Looking forward to more superbike reviews.

Great review and seemed nice and honest so thanks. Have you cracked wheelies now, seemed so?? Good man!

When will "track bikes" move the ignition key location away from "in front on the tft screen"? I'm sure it can be anywhere but it blocks the view of the screen when putting a GoPro on the yoke.

You were leaning on that DTC to the max in those earlier sessions ... nice bit of video that.

can't get over how beautiful that bike is. The design is so fucking crisp, I know its completely impractical for daily street use but man oh man it sure is a beauty.

Looks good. Wheelie control works.

I saw you in the background of a Bennett’s review video a few days ago, nice bit of sneaky marketing.

Ram Go Pro Stem mounts. I have noticed you run this setup for your dash view, do you not find the camera shuts down with this setup. My Go Pro Hero 9 does this all the time with the same setup on my ZX6. Keep up the excellent videos

Great intro, well filmed and edited

really curious, how does it compare to the HP4 Race?

Very honest review, especially given your BM links. I suppose it wont harm sales in any way as like you say, most will be bought by racers and nothing you said will put them off in any way.

Proper review and 44 rocks !

With all the might and resources BMW have at hand they've never won a major title to my knowledge. No BSB or WSBK. Be interesting to see if this latest weapon will change that. Thanks for the video. I hope you get to ride one in more favourable conditions. I'm new to 44teeth . Bloody good stuff. Looking forward to more super twin action. Cheers 🍺

Thank you for the review.

love the honesty of this review. bike manufacture's should start selling stripped down versions of race bikes if they have to meet homologation rules, not the other way around. charging this much money for parts you "should" be replacing is nonsense.

I am more of a fan of the two different size headlights. Add your own LED headlights of course....

Probably not the first time you've heard this, but that's a lovely looking helmet.

Awesome camera work fellas.

Chris, interesting that you didn't like the Dunlop SportSmart TT tires. I wonder what pressure they were running? Being an NTEC tire they should be set for track use on significantly lower pressure than for road use to give much more grip. Coppice Melbourne loop, and Goddard's all the better for that. I'm sure that Mark would have sorted that if you asked. He's a friendly bloke. I guess BMW were happy with Michael Dunlop's TT outings, before pandemic...

Looks good for track days. BMW still has to prove itself at race days.

His point is correct. Not worth the homologation model that does not run the race track in only collector support buying. I order the M1000RR for racing, but I don't know the worth.

“Welcome to Grandma’s House”🤣 - mine may have only had a Honda Cub, bless her, but I’m sure she’d still put on a better selection of German home made Streusel and Mohnkuchen than those plastic Mr. Kiplings...🤷🏻‍♂️ Great honest video - now to test the RSV Factory😃👍🏻

Great honest review. .

Is that the BMW M Endurance maintenance-free chain on the bike? Is that standard?

So what’s the best new bike out for road and track?

I'm just taking an interest in biking after a 20 year hiatus. I used to own a Yamaha FZ750 back in the day. I never knew that BMW made such tasty machines. This bike reminds me of the Yamaha R1.

Can't wait to hit the track! Being quarantined sucks😔

Great video as per normal. Put have one question Why is david Walliams doing the voice over on the on track bit?

Had an R1 in my 20s... At 43, I don't think my brain could keep up with this thing!

I could care less about what anyone thinks, if I had the money, I'd buy it for all of the reasons it's advertised for. The looks alone makes it worth the money.
