An overview of the buttons, functions, display menu and storage on the 2016 BMW S1000R. If you're like me, you find things like this useful prior to buying a new bike. Hopefully it helps someone!
Heath3250 Congrats! You're going to love it. I'm still in love with my bike. It's seriously such a versatile bike. You can track it. You can tour with it. I look forward to seeing some videos of your new bike!
I know and understand this video is 4 years old but I can't help but say 4 things friend 1 you did an excellent review for 2 weeks in honestly think you knew more then I did at 2 weeks about our bike but it's an amazing machine I love her 2 you pointed out the lights I hate how when you activate the high beams it switches off the low beam because honestly at night in the dark it leaves a blank spot in the center leaving you blind or constantly repressing the lights on high off on off ughhh 3 dynamic is actually insanely different then road but in the first I think 15,000 miles or something it's got a limiter from the dealership always and that I can definitely see effecting it personally I've done over a thousand km and only tried dynamic the other day when I know I was really going to use it and how animalistic it ended being like how much increase in power scared me away from trying dynamic pro all in good time lol I honestly love and cherish my baby Belle (my s1000r) 4 and you probably know but if you hold the suspension button you can change between 1 and 2 riders anyway great stuff man hope you still have her and treat her right!
Dude, you can install the 4th riding mode by yourself. It came with your extra keys and owners manual, it's like a memory stick you just plug in in the rear seat compartment.
Yo...you forgot the one/two helmets sign to setup if there is one or two riders on and the front and back brakes that are conected...but good vid and very good bike.Got one as well month ago :))
Linwood Gallop There is a version available with fairings and a windshield. It's called an S1000RR 😜😊 j/k. I know what you mean. The closest thing to a super naked bike that actually has fairings and a windshield is prob the Suzuki GSX-S1000F or the Kawi Ninja 1000. And now prob the Ducati Supersport.
and the ninja 1000 is what I have. Good bike, but I would like, more horse power, cruise control, heated grips, better suspension and all those wonderful electronics... I'm like a woman when it comes to bikes, I want it all. lol
What about the S 1000 XR? I know it's more like an adventure bike but it has the same engine and is tuned exactly the same as the S 1000 R. It has fairings and a windshield. Personally, I like the way a naked bike looks. But the S 1000 XR isn't ugly either. Have a look!
George fz07 Good question. The low beam turns off 2 seconds after you turn the high beam on. It's annoying. I wish there were a way to ride with both on.
Nicholas Stoia Oops. I guess I forgot to mention that in the video. To change from 1up to 2up and vice versa, you just press and hold the DDC button. You'll see one or two helmets on the display to indicate how many riders the suspension is set up for.
Marty California Can you adjust DDC manually - can you get into the menu called Set DR. That on the HP4 allows adjustment of compression and rebound for individual modes.
Thx mate. I'm very seriously thinking about trading my Tiger 800 in on a MY17. Since I rode one on the weekend, it is all I can think about what are the downsides to having this bike ( if there are any)?
Mike McLeod The only thing that bothers me about it is that the mirrors get really blurry at speed. I had to buy aftermarket mirrors to decrease the blur. Other than that, just small stuff. The low beam turns off when you turn the projector light on. Would be better for both to stay on. Mine doesn't have shift assist up and down, ABS pro or auto blipper. MY17 does. All the other faults come with the category. Wind resistance, but all nakeds have that. Overall, love it. Better fuel range than the tuono. Fast like a rocket.
