Fresh for 2024 is the latest motorbike in BMW Motorrad's 'M' range - the M 1000 XR, a 198bhp sports tourer with an aero package and plenty of carbon but no room for luggage. We forced Adam 'Chad' Child to go and ride it for us in Spain.

For me this isn't a tourer. Small tank and no on bike luggage. That said I want one! If only I could afford it. 😂

@MH-xd2nd 4 месяца назад

Divisive looks but I think the M competition package version looks great. The problem for most gen 2 XR owners is that other than the M badge and another £10K, in the real world the standard bike is more useful and practical, and for 99% of riders, just as fast. I’m sure they’ll sell as many as they can make and I’d love one, but I’d get the rear rack parts back on to fit hard luggage (assuming it’s possible). And to add insult to injury, with the regular bike BMW has dropped the (obviously fastest) red paint finish and replaced it with an insipid dark blue metallic…

@hangpilot1200 4 месяца назад

I just bought the 23 XR M package. Was worried I should have waited for this one. However, my wife still likes to ride w/ me and I love having room for my semi-rigid top bag. I made the right choice! ;-)

@flyingfox7252 Месяц назад

Your review is by far the only one worth reading and/or watching! I’ve read or seen them all and the continuing thread is “too powerful, not necessary, over priced, difficult to ride” to a person these reviewers are poor riders and totally intimidated by the bike - thoroughly unqualified to comment in my humble opinion. I can’t wait for my test ride and the opportunity to order my own. My father always told me “it matters NOT the power it’s how you control it” that counts. If you are NOT intimidated and are suitably experienced (40 years and still breathing no injuries) buy this bike without fear - it will is a sport touring game changer!!! I’ve been waiting for just this all my riding life (46 years) and it’s finally arrived. Life is good 👍 enjoy 😉

Ive owned a 2017 s1000xr for nearly 7 years , i did have panniers for a short while but over 120mph it ruins the bikes handling, i have now removed all the the racks from the back and i use sw motech soft luggage when needed, the bike looks much better for it , also i have wanted more power from my mapped upgraded 165 rear wheel bhp BMW for a while so this new m1000 xr is on my shopping list. Who cares what they class it as sports tourer , crossover , lets face it you can tour on any bike , end of . If you want racks then fit racks ,simples. BMW have built the bike what i have wanted for ages. A 200bhp XR. Happy days and lots and lots of big wheelies

@michals2462 2 месяца назад

I just took a M 1000 XR for a ride. If you already have the 2017 XR, you will most likely be disappointed with this one. You wouldn't feel the difference in power, maybe just in the Top rev section, but who rides like that. The new XR is quieter, much less aggresive. In the Road or Dynamic modes it doesn't even pop. When I learned about limited luggage options, I thought this bike doesn't make sense.

@kirteshlad7208 4 месяца назад

Great review Chad! Was there any hint of being able to fit the luggage racks that BMW took off the bike? I definitely want to buy this bike but I do need the luggage capacity. Aside from aftermarket stuff I was really looking forward to this bike being a wee bit more practical. Is the pre-load manual only on both ends like the DDC that the older gen S1000XR and S1000R? Keep up the good work Chad & the team!

@Chad76Media 4 месяца назад

Thanks. Don't think so, soft luggage only

@magaudion 4 месяца назад

A sports tourer that can’t tour . Brilliant!!!

@Nickins 3 месяца назад

Your definition of touring may differ from someone else's. BMW offers 8l side bags and a 40l tail bag solution which is plenty for a week, not to mention there is a plethora of third party solution (e.g. Kriega)

@M1000XR.Unicorn 3 месяца назад

In addition to rigid trunks, there are also solutions such as soft seat bags, so - yes, You can tour on it!

@magaudion 4 месяца назад

I CAN think of another bike that would be just as fast across Europe . The Kawasaki H2 SX SE. Similar power , just as comfy if not more so and can take luggage so you can use it for more than posing outside Costa !

@dantton1987 4 месяца назад

Dynamicaly, how does it fare withe the M1000R? Does the added travel and height make it any less stable or any more agile? I really don't know why Ducati and BMW try and launch a proper sport tourer, without the added suspension travel (something like the SDGT, Ninja 1000, GSXS GT and R1200RS)

@christofonobrown3659 4 месяца назад

Curious to see if a rack can be installed. I’m a reckless 80 guy, even put it on my H2SX. As long as I can strap that down, I’m in.

@Tennisbull-match-statistics 4 месяца назад

After riding my 1200 Multistrada for the last 10 years and 80k miles I test rode a regular XR. It didn’t turn me on and I went with a Tracer GT because of its fun engine. I ride mostly twisty roads which makes the 120 hp perfect since I can ride it more at the limit. 200 hp on any bike is bonkers, especially on a touring bike. Or maybe it’s just an upright sport bike 🤪 Anyway, I applaud the manufacturers for building those premium bikes, they help them make $$ and keeping building fun bikes for everyone

@stephenrandall5859 4 месяца назад

I had the first gen and loved it, on trips with the boys I never used the panniers. The top box was always more than enough and as this variant is more sporty again it needs the top box mount as an option and if you need panniers you should be looking at one of the s models.

@marcusgeorge1825 4 месяца назад

Nice one Chad. Would’ve liked to see having the ability to at least option panniers as let’s face it only an alien (current or ex WSB or MotoGP racer) will only be able to get close to being capable of using 100% of this madness.

@alpineacres8042 4 месяца назад

I'd be in line to buy one if you could fit luggage. That is a must have for me in a touring bike, as it's currently configured, this is a tall supersport, not a tourer, IMHO.

@simonmears1726 4 месяца назад

Looks amazing plenty of hp and Tech BMW quality second to none

@1786crafty 4 месяца назад

Is the H2SX better in every way? Luggage, bigger tank, same power more torque. Easy to ride. Your not going get across Europe any quicker.

@Chad76Media 4 месяца назад

Kaw, better luggage options, possibly better bodywork at speed and less expensive

@jonasbaine3538 4 месяца назад

Hyabusa. 200hp n/a simple engine. Cornering abs now. Can get full luggage from sw motech. Looks better than h2sx hands down. Can be tuned easily over 200whp. Sublime aerodynamics.

@SteveChippyPaine 4 месяца назад

Massive oversight. This bike won’t sell as equipped. Severely lacking touring features and luggage.

@ljj808 4 месяца назад

Personally I LOVE the looks. I own a BMW Sports Tourer (RS). It has points for topbox & panniers. I have topbox & panniers. I’m off to Malaga in a few weeks on my RS to ride these roads. 125 bhp power & 125 Nm torque is enough for me, but if I had the cash, yeah. It looks and sounds AWESOME - but unfortunately it ain’t a Sports Tourer………..

@TheTesteDrive 4 месяца назад

I was really considering this one, but not being able to have paniers is a big disapointment. M do it right with titanium and carbon fiber paniers, otherwise its a caricature of a suspersport tourer.

@russmoen147 4 месяца назад

Might be time for another category. They call this a sport /tourer, which is fine, but it seems to upset a few as it doesn't carry bags. Personally I want a sports bike that is comfortable. This fits the perfectly.

@j-fbonin8000 4 месяца назад

Hope you had the chance to crank the throttle over 8k RPM to enjoy the FULL power, in the video i only ear you playing with torque under 5k RPM....

@AC-id6rf 4 месяца назад

Absolutely floored that BMW deleted the luggage mounts. This bike looked great at the NEC and the white one was almost a sensible price. No lockable hard luggage makes touring a pain. I will have to keep slumming it on my 2019 Ducati Pikes Peak for a bit longer.

@SP-xd8gs 4 месяца назад

@AC-id6rf 4 месяца назад

@@SP-xd8gs it’s a lovely bike very smooth and very much a bike of this decade. But it’s also the wrong side of 26 grand to get the PP with a 17inch front wheel and Ohlins. And even in PP spec it weighs more, sounds worse, steers slower and has less torque than the base touring model of 14 years ago.

@quibble8 3 месяца назад

Agree with what many have said - the lack of hard luggage is a huge miss. On my SuperDuke GT (most of the time) i run with no luggage or a topbox (ugly but super useful). However... When we're two-up and going away, topbox + locking panniers all on the bike in seconds. This is the TOURING part of sports-touring. I get removing the hardwear saves weight but.... You've lost so much practicality. If BMW are worried about the speed / stability with luggage (vs the performance that the bike is capable of), surely it shouldn't have been hard for them to have a little detector-thingy that electronically limits the bike to a sane speed with the panniers on but fll nut-job-mode when you take them off

@bwindrope 3 месяца назад

They really and totally missed the mark and misread their market. All of us S1000XR owners were interested until we found it could not have hard luggage or a center stand. No reason to get this and not the M1000R in that case. Such a shame.

@douglasalexander4348 4 месяца назад

Yes, quite annoying when he’s ripping it up whilst he’s drinking a macchiato and eating a panini. He should be riding whilst having tea and a cream scone like most proper uk bikers for a more realistic review of a hyper sports bike. Not getting one now I’ve realised there’s no Doily on the options list.

Unbelievable how they took away mounting hardware for luggage. I've still pre ordered one though. I'm planning on retro fitting s1000xr hardware to the rear so i can fit panniers or atleast top box

@MiamiJato 4 месяца назад

good idea on that............

@petervautmans199 4 месяца назад

I use my 2019 model in my daily commute, all year all weather, over 25k kms per year, so if you can fit luggage, please let us know. Also the end gearing being shorter makes it less practical for touring.

@SonsofLiberty 4 месяца назад

Would be interested to know how you get on with this - I didn't complete my order due to the luggage situation, so if there's a neat way to fit the old hardware then brilliant. I'll then try and pick up the first ex-demo / low mileage bike that pops up...... Hell Yeah! Moose, Sons of Liberty

@tomtraynor5384 4 месяца назад

Thinking the Multistrada Pikes Peak (maybe NOT the RS--keep reading please--torque over ultra-high gearing) every day over this for torque, travel, a wife and PANNIERS. These are Sport TOURERS--right? I rode to our local bikers coffee group today on my mere 180 HP Pikes Peak V4, with Race exhaust/Ducati mapping. I listened to a BMW M1000R leave and was sad for the motor sound of it... Never get along with the buzzy, revvy, inline 4's. Thinking mid-range torque is the "power" us old guys want and use on roads for sport touring (I'm age 65--but still saw 132 MPH on way to coffee this morning...). Torque seems the "old guy" power I want for road overtakes, etc without rowing a gearbox and winding out motor at 80-90 mph tingling. Can't ride a dyno chart---I may be wrong.... See the 44-teeth review thingy for their view--it's kinda: "Should tick all the boxes, but--Meh".

@langhamp8912 4 месяца назад

I think there's a strong tendency recently among riders to simply rev their bikes much higher than before the Euro 5 standard was introduced. Both my recent bikes are Euro 5 compliant and they're shockingly quiet and smooth. So torque is simply not that big of a deal when you have a high-reving 3 or 4 cylinder bike that you can't even tell is running until you look at the tach. But have you ridden a BMW S1000 lately (R or RR) lately? You should; they are smooth and quiet. Just incredibly smooth. And the c-bow system installs easily and cheaply on all the S1000's.
