OK, you know by now that I'm not a great RU-vid reviewer because I'm still new at this..... There's no specs, no deep meaningful observations and no helpful summary at the end! Just my thoughts and feelings about the bike having just come off a test ride of this bikes' big-boned cousin, the R1250R. I also compare it to my current bike, the Suzuki Bandit 1250S.
I said "current" bike... well that won't be for much longer because (spoiler alert) I have gone and put a deposit down on a new S1000R Sport just like this one! 😍 No bike is perfect, but I was really surprised by and enjoyed the low end punch of this bike, as well as the top-end rush. Hopefully in time I can fatten up the midrange a bit. Even if I can't, the bike has a lot going for it and I can't wait to get acquainted!
Now during the video I am slowing down and speeding up in odd places. This isn't a normal ride out and about. Being a test ride I was trying to find out how the bike behaved on the brakes and at different throttle openings. On top of that I was figuring out the switches, changing modes etc and I was still trying to get used to the quick shift and auto blipper!
I used my Insta360 One X again for this recording; the damn thing was still crapping out on me. I think the problems are down to the well abused MicroSD cards I'm using so hopefully next time it will be working at 100%
Anyway I hope you enjoy the video and please give it a solid Thumbs Up and also consider and subscribing so you can find out when my new bike arrives - I've already got a few bolt-ons waiting for it! I'll be banging those on and recording the proceedings for my channel. I've also come up with what I hope is a pretty good way of having a 1st person perspective of me working on the bike.
P.S. there's a little bonus snippet at the end of the video 😊
